Intelligent route planning method with jointing topology control of UAV swarm by Zhi YAN, Zhenglun YI, Bo OUYANG, Yaonan WANG

“…Existing routing protocols without awareness of the topology causes excessive retransmissions, energy holes, and long delay, data routing performance was seriously deteriorated.Considering the relation of topology and routing, an intelligent route planning with jointing topology control (IRPJTC) method was proposed.IRPJTC consisted of two part, the virtual force-based adaptive topology control (VFATC), and the PPO-based geographic routing protocol (PPO-GRP).Based on neighbor’s mobility information, the distance between UAVs was adaptively adjusted by VFATC to provide stable links between UAVs.Combined with link stability metric in VFATC, end-to-end delay and energy consumption, a multi-objective reward function was designed by PPO-GRP to train optimal routing strategy.According to the performance study, the proposed IRPJTC reduces existing routing protocols by 12.11% of end-to-end delay, and 4.56% of energy consumption, and has a better energy balance ability.…”

Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria: Mechanisms and Applications by Bernard R. Glick

“…It is envisioned that in the not too distant future, plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) will begin to replace the use of chemicals in agriculture, horticulture, silviculture, and environmental cleanup strategies. While there may not be one simple strategy that can effectively promote the growth of all plants under all conditions, some of the strategies that are discussed already show great promise.…”

Moving target defense against adversarial attacks by Bin WANG, Liang CHEN, Yaguan QIAN, Yankai GUO, Qiqi SHAO, Jiamin WANG

“…Deep neural network has been successfully applied to image classification, but recent research work shows that deep neural network is vulnerable to adversarial attacks.A moving target defense method was proposed by means of dynamic switching model with a Bayes-Stackelberg game strategy, which could prevent an attacker from continuously obtaining consistent information and thus blocked its construction of adversarial examples.To improve the defense effect of the proposed method, the gradient consistency among the member models was taken as a measure to construct a new loss function in training for improving the difference among the member models.Experimental results show that the proposed method can improve the moving target defense performance of the image classification system and significantly reduce the attack success rate against the adversarial examples.…”

Semantic communication system with efficient integration of global and local context features by Peng LUO, Yueling LIU, Yuyuan ZHANG, Kuo CAO, Haitao ZHAO, Jibo WEI

“…A communication system based on extended contextual semantic features was proposed by using an end-to-end integrated design method based on deep learning.Unlike existing research that focused only on local context while neglecting global context, the proposed system integrated both local and global contextual knowledge, semantic encoding and decoding was utilized by extended contextual knowledge, thereby enhancing the reliability of the semantic communication system.At the transmitter, efficient semantic representation was achieved through extended contextual semantic encoding.At the receiver, the accuracy of semantic inference was improved by combining mechanisms such as historical communication text mining, contextual semantic feature learning, and heuristic graph-based decoding strategy.When comparing with the traditional communication system and the existing semantic communication systems, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed system significantly improves the reliability of the communication system under low signal-to-noise ratio.…”

Stochastic algorithm for HDFS data theft detection based on MapReduce by Yuanzhao GAO, Binglong LI, Xingyuan CHEN

“…To address the problems of big data efficient analysis and insider theft detection in the data theft detection of distributed cloud computing storage,taking HDFS (hadoop distributed file system) as a case study,a stochastic algorithm for HDFS data theft detection based on MapReduce was proposed.By analyzing the MAC timestamp features of HDFS generated by folder replication,the replication behavior’s detection and measurement method was established to detect all data theft modes including insider theft.The data set which is suitable for MapReduce task partition and maintains the HDFS hierarchy was designed to achieve efficient analysis of large-volume timestamps.The experimental results show that the missed rate and the number of mislabeled folders could be kept at a low level by adopting segment detection strategy.The algorithm was proved to be efficient and had good scalability under the MapReduce framework.…”
