Social-aware caching and forwarding for video streaming in information-centric 5G VANET by Tengfei CAO, Cuili JIANG, Zhiqiang LIU, Xiaoying WANG

“…The arrival of 5G-enabled communication technology has laid the foundation for providing high-quality video stream services in vehicular Ad Hoc network (VANET).However,current VANET still distribute video content over IP networks which design for host communication instead of content distribution.The mismatch between network function and design goals brings huge challenges for providing high quality video service.Based on the above questions,a social-aware caching and forwarding was proposed to support efficient video streaming services and the time complexity of the algorithm was O(m²).Firstly,a virtual community was constructed by analyzing the user's behaviors.Then,a fast forwarding scheme was introduced to ensure that users could discover the requested videos nearby.Finally,a community-based caching policy was proposed to optimize the in-community caching distributions.Simulation results show how the proposed strategy achieves better performance than other state-of-art solutions in terms of caching hit ratio,searching delay and control overhead.…”

Automated Windows domain penetration method based on reinforcement learning by Lige ZHAN, Letian SHA, Fu XIAO, Jiankuo DONG, Pinchang ZHANG

“…Windows domain provides a unified system service for resource sharing and information interaction among users.However, this also introduces significant security risks while facilitating intranet management.In recent years, intranet attacks targeting domain controllers have become increasingly prevalent, necessitating automated penetration testing to detect vulnerabilities and ensure the ongoing maintenance of office network operations.Then efficient identification of attack paths within the domain environment is crucial.The penetration process was first modeled using reinforcement learning, and attack paths were then discovered and verified through the interaction of the model with the domain environment.Furthermore, unnecessary states in the reinforcement learning model were trimmed based on the contribution differences of hosts to the penetration process, aiming to optimize the path selection strategy and improve the actual attack efficiency.The Q-learning algorithms with solution space refinement and exploration policy optimization were utilized to filter the optimal attack path.By employing this method, all security threats in the domain can be automatically verified, providing a valuable protection basis for domain administrators.Experiments were conducted on typical Windows domain scenarios, and the results show that the optimal path is selected from the thirteen efficient paths generated by the proposed method, while also providing better performance optimization in terms of domain controller intrusion, domain host intrusion, attack steps, convergence, and time cost compared to other approaches.…”

Foreign direct investment and the structural transition of energy consumption: impact and mechanisms by Xia Fang, Zhenyu Yang, Yun Zhang, Xiao Miao

“…Heterogeneity analysis revealed that FDI has a greater negative impact on the renewable energy consumption structure in low-income countries and non-OECD countries, as well as in countries with high levels of agricultural and manufacturing development and low levels of service sector development. Moreover, the Kyoto Protocol is not conducive to the increase in the proportion of renewable energy consumption in host countries. …”
