A directed greybox fuzzer for windows applications by Xin Ren, Peng-fei Wang, Xu Zhou, Kai Lu

“…Abstract Directed greybox fuzzing (DGF) has proven effective in vulnerability discovery, but most efforts focus on the Linux platform, with substantially less attention devoted to Windows platform due to its closed-source and GUI software nature. This paper proposes WinDGF, a novel directed greybox fuzzer for Windows applications that addresses challenges including target function localization in persistent testing, GUI bypassing, and fitness metric calculation. …”

Numerical modeling of complex radiative heat transfer by N. I. Moskalenko, L. V. Rodionov, M. S. Khamidullina, I. A. Afanasyev

“…The application of numerical simulation of the fine structure of the absorption and emission in the complex problems of radiative heat transfer is consider when the structural characteristics of the environment and the boundary conditions are different strong inhomogeneities in temperature, chemical composition and distribution of the radiation sources. The very nature of radiative heat transfer and temperature variation trends over time are determined by the acute effects of selection of the spectra and their modeling require knowledge of spectral line parameters: intensity, half-width position of the centers, contours. …”

High-Voltage CVT Fault Diagnosis Based on Effective Data Recognition and Multi-dimensional Information Fusion by Huishan ZHANG

“…In view of the poor identification of the effective data in online monitoring of high-voltage capacitor voltage transformer (CVT), this paper proposes a method for effective data identification based on the analysis of data correlation coefficients, with utilization of the data characteristics that multiple online monitoring data sources exhibit linear correlation. To address the prevalent problem in current high-voltage CVT fault diagnosis, such as limited information sources, poor accuracy, and significant interference in partial discharge devices leading to compromised fault signal detection and accuracy, a fault diagnosis method based on multi-dimensional information fusion is proposed. …”
