Distributed trust management scheme based on blockchain in Internet of vehicles by Haibo ZHANG, Yukun CAO, Kaijian LIU, Ruyan WANG

“…Aiming at the security problems caused by the low efficiency and accuracy of malicious vehicle identification in Internet of vehicles, a distributed trust management scheme based on blockchain in Internet of vehicles was proposed.A false information identification strategy was designed by aggregating the scoring information of vehicles, combined with Bayesian inference model.A reputation value updating algorithm was designed by combining the historical interaction information of vehicles and traffic information, malicious vehicles were identified by the reputation threshold.A blockchain was constructed roadside units to realize the distributed storage of traffic data and vehicle reputation values.The traditional proof of work consensus mechanism was improved to dynamically change the difficulty of miner node generating a block through the event level and the number of vehicles involved in scoring, and the waiting mechanism was used to temporarily stop the nodes that had recently blocked from participating in the election process of miner nodes, thus reducing the resource consumption caused by repeated calculations.The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can effectively identify false information, resist the deceptive behavior of malicious vehicles, improve the identification efficiency of malicious vehicles, reduce resource consumption, and is effective and feasible in distributed trust management for Internet of vehicles.…”

Arthur ainda vive? by Isadora Cristine Martins

“…Virginie Greene questions the pertinence of using the term “messianism” in the Middle Ages and argues that it cannot be used in the same sense as used by historians to refer to Modernity4.In this essay we try to withdraw the analysis from the courtly environments in which they were reproduced, through some selected chronicles, from a History from Below perspective, to understand who are the people waiting for Arthur’s return and whether this hope represents more than a speech constructed by the chroniclers.From a crossing between chronicles and archaeological studies, we try to map cults, traditions, and pilgrimages linked to Arthur that circulated through Great-Britain under the Norman rule. …”

Comparing an Approximate Queuing Approach with Simulation for the Solution of a Cross-Docking Problem by Roberta Briesemeister, Antônio G. N. Novaes

“…The computational analysis compares the results of the simulated model with the ones obtained with the theoretical algorithm, considering the queue length and the average waiting time of the trucks. Based on the results obtained, the simulation represented very well the proposed problem and possible changes can be easily detected with small adjustments in the simulated model.…”
