Time-and-ID-Based Proxy Reencryption Scheme by Kambombo Mtonga, Anand Paul, Seungmin Rho

“…In such applications, for example, healthcare and criminal investigations, the delegatee may be interested in only some of the messages with some types sampled within some time bound instead of the entire subset. Hence, in order to carter for such situations, in this paper, we propose a time-and-identity-based proxy reencryption scheme that takes into account the time within which the data was collected as a factor to consider when categorizing data in addition to its type. …”

Event-Based Time Varying Formation Control for Multiple Quadrotor UAVs with Markovian Switching Topologies by Zhen Zhou, Hongbin Wang, Zhongquan Hu

“…The formation shape is specified by a time varying vector, which prescribes the relative positions and bearings among the whole agents. Instead of the general stochastic topology, the graph is governed by a set of Markov chains to the edges, which can recover the traditional Markovian switching topologies in line with the practical communication network. …”
