Traffic characteristic based privacy leakage assessment scheme for Android device by Zhu WANG, Kun HE, Xinyu WANG, Ben NIU, Fenghua LI

“…Aiming at the privacy leakage,which was caused by collecting user information by third-party host in Android operating system App,a privacy leakage evaluation scheme HostRisk was proposed.HostRisk was based on TF-IDF model and hierarchical clustering method,which was applied in mobile device.The TF-IDF model calculated the business relevance between Apps and hosts via the behavior characteristics of the hosts in these Apps.For the business related hosts that fail to express the business relevance characteristics,those hosts were adjusted and optimized via the average connected hierarchical agglomerative clustering method.Finally,the harmful degree of privacy leakage was evaluated based on the ranking of all hosts in the App.The experimental results verify the effectiveness and efficiency of the scheme.…”

Apply PSO into cloud storage task scheduling with QoS preference awareness by Juan WANG, Fei LI, Lu-qiao ZHANG

“…The task scheduling algorithm in cloud storage area with QoS preference awareness was studied.Firstly,the differences between cloud storage and cloud computing were pointed,and exist matrix was used to avoid the creation of useless solutions.Secondly,QoS factors were summarized into three classes:time,cost and quality classes.Based on the three classes,the fitness function of the PSO was improved by using weighted factors to adjust the QoS preference.The simulation results release that PSO is not fit for the overall scheduling when the task distributions of different degrees are unevenness because the QoS demand of wide distribution tasks may cover the QoS demand of other tasks.So a hierarchical scheduling based on degree is necessary.The simulation results show that the improved hierarchical PSO scheduling algorithm can aware the QoS preference relevantly.…”

Hierarchy analysis and modeling on the Internet AS-level topology by GUO Hong1, YANG Bai-wei2, LAN Ju-long1, LIU Luo-kun2

“…Based on the in-depth analysis of he massive real AS-level topology data,the multi characteristics describing Internet AS-level topology’s hierarchy were abstracted,and a material way about network’s hierarchical partition were introduced,and the number of connected edged of adding new nodes and nonlinear probability were gived.Finally,a novel hierarchical dynamic evolution model named IAT-HDEM based on corenness and the k-core decomposition was proposed.The numerical simulations and analysis results showed that most of macroscopic statistics closed to real networks’,including power-law degree distribution and negative correlation clustering-degree distribution etc.…”

Inter-domain routing security mechanism for crossing autonomous system alliance by Ling-jing KONG, Hua-xin ZENG, Jun DOU, Yao LI

“…Through studying and analyzing SE-BGP (security enhanced BGP),it was found that it couldn’t validate the cross-alliance AS (autonomous system) and defense the self-launched active attack.To solve the security problems,two-layer cross-alliance hierarchical structure CAHS (cross-alliance hierarchical structure) was designed.Based on CAHS,using the idea of passport visa and the features of AdHASH (additive hash),a cross-alliance BGP security mechanism SCA-BGP (secure crossing alliance for BGP) was proposed.The mechanism has higher security,which is able to effectively validate the identities and behavior authorization of the cross-alliance AS as well as the message carried by them.The experiment results show that SCA-BGP can effectively reduce the certificate scale and extra time overhead to get better scalability and convergence performance.…”

Identifying method for opinion leaders in social network based on competency model by Bo CHEN, Xiang-yan TANG, Ling YU, Ya-shang LIU

“…A competency model of opinion leaders in social networks is presented，which includes three capacity factors，some explicit and implicit behavioral indicators.These characteristics of information production，information dissemination and information influence which opinion leaders should have.Based on the proposed competency model，social network users into four categories which divided:the general public，the activists，the topic opinion leaders and network opinion leaders.Then a hierarchical filtering process is designed and a system framework of filtering experimental for identifying opinion leaders is introduced.It takes the data extracted from the Sina microblog as input，then integrates some social network analysis tools such as MALLET，and develops the programs for specific functions with Python.Eventually，the opinion leaders of microblog can be identified.The experiment results prove the effectiveness of present competency model for opinion leaders and the feasibility of hierarchical filtering process.…”

Pilot decontamination based on spectrum separation in massive MIMO system by Hairong WANG, Jian DONG, Yuhui WANG

“…In order to overcome uplink pilot contamination，the technical bottleneck of massive MIMO,and different from the existing parallel parameter design strategy for blind pilot decontamination,a hierarchical parameter design method was proposed,which points out that different system parameters have different effects on the exact spectrum separation of the sample covariance matrix of the received signal.In other words,different parameters have different priority.Next,it was found that to achieve spectral separation,the power of the desired signal didn’t have to be higher than the interference,and the difference between the two was more important.Furthermore,in a more practical scenario where the pilot sequence length was less than the number of base station receiving antennas,a numerical algorithm was given for the first time to achieve the above-mentioned exact spectral separation.Since the hierarchical parament design ensures the exact separation of the asymptotic spectrum,the results show that the proposed scheme is more suitable for practical applications than the existing blind pilot decontamination.…”
