Entire aerial-aquatic trajectory modeling and optimization for trans-medium vehicles by Teng Long, Nianhui Ye, Baoshou Zhang, Jingliang Sun, Renhe Shi

“…Simultaneously, several constraints, i.e., the max impact load, trajectory height, etc., are involved in the optimization problem. Rather than directly optimizing by a heuristic algorithm, a multi-surrogate cooperative sampling-based optimization method is proposed to alleviate the computational complexity of the entire trajectory optimization problem. …”

Optimization mechanism of attack and defense strategy in honeypot game with evidence for deception by Lihua SONG, Yangyang JIANG, Changyou XING, Guomin ZHANG

“…Using game theory to optimize honeypot behavior is an important method in improving defender’s trapping ability.Existing work tends to use over simplified action spaces and consider isolated game stages.A game model named HoneyED with expanded action spaces and covering comprehensively the whole interaction process between a honeypot and its adversary was proposed.The model was focused on the change in the attacker’s beliefs about its opponent’s real identity.A pure-strategy-equilibrium involving belief was established for the model by theoretical analysis.Then, based on the idea of deep counterfactual regret minimization (Deep-CFR), an optimization algorithm was designed to find an approximate hybrid-strategy-equilibrium.Agents for both sides following hybrid strategies from the approximate equilibrium were obtained.Theoretical and experimental results show that the attacker should quit the game when its belief reaches a certain threshold for maximizing its payoff.But the defender’s strategy is able to maximize the honeypot’s profit by reducing the attacker’s belief to extend its stay as long as possible and by selecting the most suitable response to attackers with different deception recognition abilities.…”

Binary program taint analysis optimization method based on function summary by Pan YANG, Fei KANG, Hui SHU, Yuyao HUANG, Xiaoshao LYU

“…Taint analysis is a popular software analysis method, which has been widely used in the field of information security.Most of the existing binary program dynamic taint analysis frameworks use instruction-level instrumentation analysis methods, which usually generate huge performance overhead and reduce the program execution efficiency by several times or even dozens of times.This limits taint analysis technology’s wide usage in complex malicious samples and commercial software analysis.An optimization method of taint analysis based on function summary was proposed, to improve the efficiency of taint analysis, reduce the performance loss caused by instruction-level instrumentation analysis, and make taint analysis to be more widely used in software analysis.The taint analysis method based on function summary used function taint propagation rules instead of instruction taint propagation rules to reduce the number of data stream propagation analysis and effectively improve the efficiency of taint analysis.For function summary, the definition of function summary was proposed.And the summary generation algorithms of different function structures were studied.Inside the function, a path-sensitive analysis method was designed for acyclic structures.For cyclic structures, a finite iteration method was designed.Moreover, the two analysis methods were combined to solve the function summary generation of mixed structure functions.Based on this research, a general taint analysis framework called FSTaint was designed and implemented, consisting of a function summary generation module, a data flow recording module, and a taint analysis module.The efficiency of FSTaint was evaluated in the analysis of real APT malicious samples, where the taint analysis efficiency of FSTaint was found to be 7.75 times that of libdft, and the analysis efficiency was higher.In terms of accuracy, FSTaint has more accurate and complete propagation rules than libdft.…”

Stability Evaluation Method for Rock Slope-Anchorage Systems Based on Genetic Algorithms and Discrete Element Analysis by Peng Xia, Bowen Zeng, Yiheng Pan

“…The findings indicate that (1) the proposed evaluation method effectively accounts for the interaction between the anchorage structure and the rock slope, ensuring accurate results; (2) the method leverages the discrete element numerical model to quantitatively assess deformation and stress distribution within the system; (3) the integration of genetic algorithms significantly enhances the efficiency of identifying the most representative numerical model, and thereby the efficiency of stability evaluation is improved; and (4) the evaluation framework is capable of performing dynamic analyses of the stability evolution throughout the entire operational lifecycle of the rock slope anchorage system.…”
