Cognitive radio auto-adaptive sensing algorithm based on POMDP by Rui-chen XU, Ting JIANG

“…In order to design an appropriate spectrum sensing mechanism in millisecond spectrum hole environment,the optimal data transmission time of secondary users was derived to maximize the data throughput.Furthermore,in order to exploit the millisecond spectrum holes,an auto-adaptive spectrum sensing algorithm based on POMDP (partially observ-able Markov decision process) was proposed.This algorithm executes spectrum sensing or data transmission action in the current decision epoch based on the belief vector and the observation result in the last decision epoch.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can constrain the collision probability between primary users and secondary users,and improve systemic spectrum utilization at the same time.…”

A simplified model of the process of medical attention. Assistance, educational and investigative implications by Luis Alberto Corona Martínez, Mercedes Fonseca Hernández

“…In this article a simplified model is proposed or general of the process of medical attention whose employment possesses assistance, educational and investigative implications; elaborated on the base of the address of the mental activity that the doctor develops during the execution of the process. Starting from this idea we identify three moments or phases like components of the pattern: 1) the obtaining of information, 2) the interpretation of the information, and 3) the taking of decisions; each one of which possesses a specific objective in function of the general objective of the process, besides other particularities. …”

Research on system log anomaly detection based on deep learning by Yidong WANG, Peishun LIU, Gbin WAN

“…The system log reflects the running status of the system and records the activity information of specific events in the system.Therefore,the rapid and accurate detection of the system abnormal log is important to the security and stability of the system.A log anomaly detection algorithm based on GRU neural network is proposed.Log parsing is implemented based on log key technology.Log anomaly detection is realized by using anomaly detection model of execution path and anomaly detection model of parameter value.The system has the advantages of less parameters and faster training.It improves the running speed while achieving higher detection accuracy,and is suitable for log analysis of large information systems.…”

Modeling of the mimic defense based on heterogeneous redundancy by Junning QIN, Jiajia HAN, Sheng ZHOU, Chunming WU, Shuangxi CHEN, Ruoyan ZHAO, Jiangyu ZHANG

“…The unbalanced development status of network security was introduced.The main hazards and the mechanism model of penetration testing were described,and the inherent shortcomings of many existing traditional defense methods were analyzed.However,new method of the mimic defense model makes the attack information obtained invalid by dynamically selecting the executive set and adaptively changing the system composition.The same attack mode is difficult to be maintained or reproduced.Based on the attack chain model,the traditional defensetechnology and mimic defense technology were analyzed and compared,and it was demonstrated that it had a protective role in multiple stages of the attack chain.Finally,the effectiveness and superiority of the mimic defense was verified by experiments,and the model was summarized and prospected.…”

Malware prediction technique based on program gene by Da XIAO, Bohan LIU, Baojiang CUI, Xiaochen WANG, Suoxing ZHANG

“…With the development of Internet technology,malicious programs have risen explosively.In the face of executable files without source,the current mainstream malware detection uses feature detection based on similarity,with lack of analysis of malicious sources.To resolve this status,the definition of program gene was raised,a generic method of extracting program gene was designed,and a malicious program prediction method was proposed based on program gene.Utilizing machine learning and deep-learning algorithms,the forecasting system has good prediction ability,with the accuracy rate of 99.3% in the deep-learning model,which validates the role of program gene theory in the field of malicious program analysis.…”
