Deep Learning Based Proactive Caching for Effective WSN-Enabled Vision Applications by Fangyuan Lei, Jun Cai, Qingyun Dai, Huimin Zhao

“…The proactive cache strategy implementation procedure is divided into four steps. (1) The SDN controller is responsible for dynamically collecting user request data package information in the WSNs network. (2) The SSAEs predicts the packet popularity based on the SDN controller obtaining user request data. (3) The SDN controller generates a corresponding proactive cache strategy according to the popularity prediction result. (4) Implement the proactive caching strategy at the WSNs cache node. In the simulation, we compare the influence of spatiotemporal data on the SSAE network structure. …”

A hybrid trust model based on communication and social trust for vehicular social networks by Na Fan, Shuai Shen, Chase Q Wu, Junfeng Yao

“…Vehicular social networks are emerging hybrid networks that combine traditional vehicular networks and social networks, with two key types of nodes, that is, vehicles and drivers. Since vehicle behaviors are controlled or influenced by drivers, the trustworthiness of a vehicle node is essentially determined by its own communication behaviors and its driver’s social characteristics. …”
