Survey of evolutionary kernel fuzzing by Yan SHI, Weizhong QIANG, Deqing ZOU, Hai JIN

“…Fuzzing is a technique that was used to detect potential vulnerabilities and errors in software or systems by generating random, abnormal, or invalid test cases.When applying fuzzing to the kernel, more complex and challenging obstacles were encountered compared to user-space applications.The kernel, being a highly intricate software system, consists of numerous interconnected modules, subsystems, and device drivers, which presented challenges such as a massive codebase, complex interfaces, and runtime uncertainty.Traditional fuzzing methods could only generate inputs that simply satisfied interface specifications and explicit call dependencies, making it difficult to thoroughly explore the kernel.In contrast, evolutionary kernel fuzzing employed heuristic evolutionary strategies to dynamically adjust the generation and selection of test cases, guided by feedback mechanisms.This iterative process aimed to generate higher-quality test cases.Existing work on evolutionary kernel fuzzing was examined.The concept of evolutionary kernel fuzzing was explained, and its general framework was summarized.The existing work on evolutionary kernel fuzzing was classified and compared based on the type of feedback mechanism utilized.The principles of how feedback mechanisms guided evolution were analyzed from the perspectives of collecting, analyzing, and utilizing runtime information.Additionally, the development direction of evolutionary kernel fuzzing was discussed.…”

Competition for a single resource and coexistence of several species in the chemostat by Nahla Abdellatif, Radhouane Fekih-Salem, Tewfik Sari

“…We study a model of the chemostat with several species in competition for a single resource.We take into account the intra-specific interactions between individuals of the same population of micro-organisms andwe assume that the growth rates are increasing and the dilution rates are distinct.Using the concept of steady-state characteristics, we present a geometric characterization of the existence and stability of all equilibria.Moreover, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions on the control parameters of the system to have a positive equilibrium.Using a Lyapunov function, we give a global asymptotic stability result for the competition model of several species.The operating diagram describes the asymptotic behavior of this model with respect to control parametersand illustrates the effect of the intra-specific competition on the coexistence region of the species.…”

Indoor carrier phase positioning algorithm based on time-varying clock error elimination by Shaoshuai FAN, Zhiqiang RONG, Hui TIAN, Lihua LI, Xiaoqi QIN

“…To solve the problems of low positioning accuracy of traditional positioning algorithm and unsynchronized system clock in indoor wireless environment, a 3D positioning algorithm was proposed based on the fusion of triple-differential carrier phase measurements and time difference of arrival (TDoA) positioning.Considering that the time-varying clock offsets between wireless access points lead to lower positioning accuracy, the measurements from a reference terminal were used to eliminate the influence of time-varying clock offsets.The relative positions were estimated based on triple-differential carrier phase measurements, which were fused with unbiased differential TDoA positioning results to obtain the interim estimated positions.Furthermore, the carrier phase observation equations were linearized by Taylor expansion method, and the high-accuracy positioning was realized by solving the integer ambiguities.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm eliminates the influence of time-varying clock offsets on positioning performance, and the integer ambiguities are resolved in a short time to achieve high-accuracy positioning.…”

Analysis of LEO satellite communication and suggestions for its development strategy in China by Shanzhi CHEN

“…The review on the development in 5G and LEO satellite communications was given on multi aspects.The role of LEO satellite communication in 5G was positioned as a complement,not yet as the main role.The proposals were thus given based on the analysis of the application requirements,technologies and the industrial level regarding to the LEO satellite communication R＆amp;D in China.Suggestions for the development of LEO satellite communication in China as:“compatible with 5G,integrated within 6G” were put forward.The development process could be divided into two steps.In the first step,the current LEO satellite communication system could be developed mostly based on the 5G technologies and compatibility,the maximumly reuse of 5G key technologies,the cost reduction from the scale economy effect of 5G,and finally the LEO advantages achieved from the differentiation between 5G and LEO.In the second step,the terrestrial mobile communication and the high,medium and low orbit satellite communications would be harmony integrated in 6G.The final suggestions were of two efforts and two cooperations:encouraging application and getting more frequency resources and satellite orbit resources,the international cooperation and the domestic cooperation,to accelerate the industrial maturity and to achieve commercial success.…”
