Moving target defense against network eavesdropping attack using POF by Duohe MA, Qiong LI, Dongdai LIN

“…Eavesdropping attack hereby was the major attack for traditional network communication.As this kind of attacks was stealthy and untraceable,it was barely detectable for those feature detection or static configuration based passive defense approaches.Since existing encryption or dynamic address methods could only confuse part of fields of network protocols,they couldn’t form a comprehensive protection.Therefore a moving target defense method by utilizing the protocol customization ability of protocol-oblivious forwarding (POF) was proposed,through private protocol packet randomization strategy and randomly drop deception-packets on dynamic paths strategy.It could greatly increase the difficulty of implementing network eavesdropping attack and protect the privacy of the network communication process.Experiments and compare studies show its efficiency.…”

Research progress of triangle counting in big data by Hongqiao JIN, Yihong DONG

“…Counting triangles in a graph is an important step to calculate the clustering coefficient and the transitivity ratio of the network，which is widely used in important role identification，spam detection，community discovery，biological detection etc.Counting triangles algorithm is mainly faced with two major problems of space-time consumption and accuracy.The representative algorithm of the counting triangles in the big graph was introduced.There existed two kinds of algorithms，which were exact counting algorithm and approximate counting algorithm.Exact counting algorithms were divided into internal memory algorithm，external memory algorithm and distributed algorithm.The space-time consumption or I/O consumption of exact counting algorithm was very large.Approximate counting algorithms were divided into auxiliary algorithm，static algorithm and streaming algorithm.In the end，the counting triangles algorithms were summarized.…”

A Comparative Study of Seismic Performance Evaluation of Reinforced Concrete Frame Structures Using Chinese and African Seismic Codes by Musaab Suliman, Liang Lu

“…Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify each code’s advantages by comparing assessment of the seismic efficacy of moment resistance frame reinforced concrete (MRF-RC) frames using four different codes: the Ethiopian Building Code Standard (EBCS-8), the Egyptian Code for Design and Construction of Reinforced Concrete Structures (ECP-201), the Algerian Seismic Regulations (RPA-99), and the Chinese Code for Seismic Design of Buildings (GB-50011), the first three are the major codes used in Africa. The seismic provisions of these codes are compared and evaluated using nonlinear time-history analysis (NL-THA) and nonlinear static pushover to validate the results. …”
