Service function chain construct algorithm based on reliability by Julong LAN, Zijin JIN, Penghao SUN, Yiming JIANG, Yue WANG

“…With the continuous expansion of network size and content quantity,network operators often face the problem of data transmission interruption,thus how to improve the reliability of data transmission has become a research hotspot.Started with the huge advantages of NFV environment over traditional TCP/IP architecture based on the background that every network node has the capability of security service,a reliability algorithm for constructing functional service chains was proposed.First,the network topology was introduced and abstracted it into a digraph for a better analyzation.Then,several quantitative indices were used to define the upper and lower bounds of failure probability and resolved the model through a heuristic algorithm.The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm increases the reliability of service chain selection and spends less time.…”

System Eliminating Emergency Discharges in Industrial Facilities Waste Waters Using Relative Signal Description by V. A. Alekseev, S. I. Yuran, V. P. Usoltsev, D. N. Shulmin

“…The relative description on the components of the lattice function of the spectrum of emergency discharges is used, constructed using the order ratio between the components of the lattice function.The emergency discharge identification can be implemented by comparing the relative description of the emergency discharge spectrum with the reference spectra for the harmful substances that can be present at the given industrial facility, and the standards of the spectra of these substances are presented in the form of a relative description using the ratio “more”–“less”.The authors provide a flow chart for the emergency discharge elimination system, describe its operation and the functions fulfilled by its elements. …”
