Diseño de losas de hormigón con geometría optimizada Design of concrete pavement with optimized slab geometry by Juan Pablo Covarrubias V.

“…Slabs of 15 cm thickness suffered from cracking when tested under an average of 12 millions equivalent axles, while slabs of 8 cm thickness endured 75,000 equivalent axles before the first cracking took place. Besides the executed tests demonstrated that fiber concrete slabs may endure until 20 times more traffic before cracking and they are able to provide a longer life span after cracking. …”

Timeout threshold estimation algorithm in mimic multiple executors architecture by Delei NIE, Obo ZHA, Chong WANG, Xin WANG, Binghao YAN

“…Aiming at the problem that the current timeout strategy algorithm is difficult to cope with the violent situation of task volume,a timeout threshold prediction algorithm based on equivalent proportional execution time applied to the mimetic defense architecture system is proposed.The algorithm utilizes the principle that the execution time of multiple functional equivalent executable tasks in the mimetic defense architecture is positively related,predicts the task execution time and sets a reasonable timeout threshold.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can dynamically predict and set the timeout threshold for different task situations,which effectively improves the timeout judgment efficiency,especially for scenarios with dramatic changes in workload.…”

Attack signature generation by traceable dynamic taint analysis by Yu LIU, Mei-ning NIE, Pu-rui SU, Deng-guo FENG

“…Most of known attack signature generation systems took either black-box method or white-box method,both of which were limited in several aspects,such as costing a long time to capture sufficient samples,demanding arduous manual analysis and requiring source code of the vulnerable program.An attack signature generation method based on an innovative traceable dynamic taint analysis framework was proposed.By monitoring the vulnerable process execution,the executing trace and the constrain conditions exactly related to input data exploiting the vulnerability was extracted.Finally,by restoring the execution context and supplementing the determinant statements an executable Turing machine signature was attained.A prototype system was implemented and evaluated with different attack samples,which proved that the proposed method was able to generate accurate attack signature fast.…”
