Fast and low-complexity video down-sizing transcoder by Zhuo-yi LV, Ke-bin JIA, Wan-chi WIU

“…An efficient mode decision scheme for down-sizing video transcoding in H.264 using support vector machines (SVM)was proposed.In order to reduce the high computationa complexity of using conventional mode decision in the H.264 re-encoder,the proposed scheme used SVM to exploit the correlation between coding information extracted from the input high-resolution bit-stream and the coding modes of macro-blocks in down-sized video frames.The key techniques of training and predicting SVM including feature vector and kernel function were studied and then the SVM model was trained.After the hierarchical SVM classifier,improbable modes were eliminated and only a small number of candidate modes were carried out using the RDO operations.Hence,remarkable computing time could be saved,up to 67.31%,while maintaining nearly the same quality of the transcoded pictures.…”

Unités paysagères fonctionnelles : outil d'aide à la planification territoriale by Pauline Delbosc , Attilius Ceccaldi , Christophe Panaïotis , Frédéric Bioret , Laëtitia Hugot 

“…In the framework of the national program for the mapping of natural and semi-natural vegetation (CarHAB) and in the framework of CBNC on knowledge of vegetation, research is being carried out in Corsica to refine knowledge on the state and dynamic evolution of vegetation, to improve the analysis and monitoring of the state of conservation of Community interest habitats to satisfy the request of the Flora and Fauna Habitats Directive (FFHD), in order to better assess the impact of major development projects and to analyze ecological continuities. A hierarchical partition of the commune of Lama (Haute-Corse) was developed to relate land-use planning projects with vegetation dynamics. …”

Triple receiver public key encryption cryptosystem by Liutao ZHAO, Lin ZHONG, Jidong LIU, Caiqun WANG, Dan WU

“…A triple receiver public key cryptosystem was proposed.In the cryptosystem,a sender encrypted a message and sent to three receivers,while the three receivers were able to decrypt the message with their own private keys.Based on bilinear map,two triple receiver public key encryption schemes with different security were constructed.If the gap bilinear Diffie-Hellman (GBDH) problem and the computational Diffie-Hellman (CDH) problem were proved formally to be intractable,then the two schemes proposed were semantically secure against chosen-plaintext attacks and against adaptive chosen ciphertext attacks respectively.The proposed scheme only added an exponential operation and a hash operation,and constructed three independent receivers which had a high efficiency.Analyses show that proposed scheme can improve the security of TLS protocol and apply to hierarchical public key cryptosystems.…”

Cloud native based edge computing: vision and challenges by Deze ZENG, Lvhao CHEN, Lin GU, Yuepeng LI

“…Cloud native computing, featured by low-cost container technology, well fits edge computing.It was proposed to apply cloud native computing to make edge computing resource management and control transparent to application development and operation.Compared with cloud computing, edge computing resources are widely distributed, highly heterogeneous, and fragmented, which called for collaborative resource management and control.According to the development status of cloud native related technologies, through the integration of future networking technologies such as soft were defined network and network function virtualization, a full-stack cloud native based edge computing architecture was proposed.Then, considering the hierarchical characteristics of containers, a low-overhead container deployment optimization problem for resource-limited edge computing was studied.Finally, the development challenges faced by cloud native based edge computing were discussed.…”

Research on space-air-ground integrated deterministic networking by Guoyu PENG, Shuo WANG, Guizhen LI, Yuhan WEN, Tao HUANG

“…As the Internet evolves from a consumer network to a productive network, emerging industry applications necessitate differentiated and deterministic service quality assurance and communication capabilities that span all dimensions of time and space.How to realize the heterogeneous compatibility of ubiquitous multi-domain networks and support deterministic transmission between nodes in space-air-ground integrated network (SAGIN) has become a significant research problem.Firstly, the emerging full-domain 6G scenarios along with their requirements for deterministic services were analyzed.Then, the hierarchical space-air-ground integrated deterministic networking architecture, including global cooperative network management and control layer, multi-domain dynamic deterministic fusion layer, and ubiquitous heterogeneous deterministic networking layer, was proposed, and key technologies for fixed-mobile-satellite fusion networks in relevant scenarios were studied.Finally, the challenges and development trend of the space-air-ground integrated deterministic networking were presented.…”
