基于演绎长度的学习子句删除策略

学习子句删除策略是CDCL-SAT求解器中的一个重要内容,可以避免内存爆炸和加速单元传播。评估学习子句有用性的标准不同导致所删除的学习子句是不同的,极大地影响求解效率。基于CDCL算法的求解过程可被形式化为增加管理学习子句策略的归结演绎过程,基于此,提出一种基于演绎长度的学习子句评估方法,并与现有的基于文字块距离的评估方法结合,根据排序子句的基准不同,形成两种不同的结合算法。采用国际SAT竞赛的基准实例,与目前主流的求解器进行了实验对比分析。结果表明,所提的结合算法能更好地评估学习子句的有用性,较基于文字块距离策略的求解个数提高了4.1%,说明所提策略具有一定的优势。     

基于频次的SAT问题学习子句混合评估算法

为了有效管理学习子句,避免学习子句规模呈几何级增长,减少冗余学习子句对系统内存占用,从而提高布尔可满足性问题SAT求解器的求解效率,需要对学习子句进行评估,然后删减学习子句。传统的评估方式是基于学习子句的长度,保留较短的子句。当前主流的做法一个是变量衰减和VSIDS的子句评估方式,另外一个是基于文字块距离LBD的评估方式,也有将二者结合使用作为子句评估的依据。通过对学习子句参与冲突分析次数与问题求解的关系进行分析,将学习子句使用频率与LBD评估算法混合使用,既反映了学习子句在冲突分析中的作用,也充分利用了文字与决策层之间的信息。以Syrup求解器（GLUCOSE 4.1并行版本）为基准,在评估算法与并行子句共享策略方面做改进测试,通过实验对比发现,混合评估算法比LBD评估算法有优势,求解问题个数明显增多。     

基于子句的动态检查强制文字的SAT求解器

检查强制文字是一种重要的预处理方法。结合学习子句,提出一种在求解过程中使用的策略—基于子句的动态检查强制文字(CNL),并且设计了一种易实现低成本的数据结构。分别实现了两个不同版本的求解器:Glucose_PRE和Glucose_CNL,前者在求解初始时将检查强制文字作为预处理,后者实现了基于子句的动态检查强制文字策略。实验测试结果表明,与Glucose_PRE和Glucose3.0求解器相比,求解器Glucose_CNL在求解2015年和2016年SAT竞赛的应用类型的实例时,求解实例个数更多,耗时更少,说明所提策略和所设计的数据结构均可提高求解器的求解性能。     

半扩展规则下分解的定理证明方法

基于扩展规则的定理证明方法在一定意义上是与归结原理对偶的方法,通过子句集能否推导出所有极大项来判定可满足性.IER(improved extension rule)算法是不完备的算法,在判定子句集子空间不可满足时,并不能判定子句集的满足性,算法还需重新调用ER(extension rule)算法,降低了算法的求解效率.通过对子句集的极大项空间的研究,给出了子句集的极大项空间分解后子空间的求解方法.通过对扩展规则的研究,给出了极大项部分空间可满足性判定方法PSER(partial semi-extension rule).在IER算法判定子空间不可满足时,可以调用PSER算法判定子空间对应的补空间的可满足性,从而得到子句集的可满足性,避免了不能判定极大项子空间可满足性时需重新调用ER算法的缺点,使得IER算法更完备.在此基础上,还提出DPSER(degree partial semi-extension rule)定理证明方法.实验结果表明:所提出的DPSER和IPSER的执行效率较基于归结的有向归结算法DR、IER及NER算法有明显的提高.     

求解多文字可满足SAT问题的置信传播算法

可满足(SAT)问题是指:是否存在一组布尔变元赋值,使得合取范式公式中每个子句至少有一个文字为真.多文字可满足SAT问题是指:是否存在一组布尔变元赋值,使得CNF公式中每个子句至少有两个文字为真.显然,此问题仍然是一个NP难问题.为了研究解决多文字可满足SAT问题的算法,引入随机实例产生模型,设计求解多文字可满足SAT问题的置信传播算法.最后,用实例模型产生了大量数据进行实验验证,结果表明:该算法求解多文字可满足SAT问题的性能优于其他启发式算法.     

基于学习子句删除策略的SAT求解器分支策略

对于SAT求解器,目前流行的分支变量决策策略大多是基于冲突的变量活跃度评估算法,选择具有最大活性的未赋值变量作为决策变量,优先解决最近的冲突.但是,它们都忽略了包含决策变量的子句数目对布尔约束传播(BCP)的影响.针对此问题,提出了 一种基于学习子句删除策略的分支变量决策策略(VDALCD),在删除学习子句的同时减小被删除子句中变量的活跃度.基于VDALCD策略分别对Glucose4.1,MapleLCMDistChronoBT-DL-v2.1进行改进,形成了求解器Glucose4.1_VDALCD和Maple-DL_VDALCD.以2018年、2019年SAT国际竞赛题为基准测试例,将改进版本与原版本求解器进行比较.实验结果表明,在2018年的例子测试中,Gluose4.1_VDALCD比Gluose4.1多求出26个例子,增加了 15.5％.在2019年的例子测试中,Maple-DL_VDALCD 比 MapleLCMDistChronoBT-DL-v2.1 多求出 17个例子,增加了 7.6％.     

基于关联约束非二元弧一致性的约束满足问题求解

弧一致性算法在二元约束满足问题中取得了成功的应用,但并不能被有效泛化至预处理非二元约束满足问题(NCSP).本文提出了处理NCSP的关联约束非二元弧一致性算法.通过随机NCSP生成器产生问题实例,分别采用关联约束非二元弧一致性算法和非二元弧一致性算法进行预处理,并对预处理后的问题实例应用回溯算法进行求解.对比分析采用两种预处理算法和不采用预处理下回溯算法的求解性能,仿真实验结果表明关联约束非二元弧一致性算法可以有效地剔除冗余的约束元组和变量域值,使关联约束非二元弧一致性回溯算法具有更良好的鲁棒性.     

基于不可满足原因的最小纠正集求解

布尔公式的最小纠正集MCS是子句的集合。对于一个不可满足公式,移除MCS后,所得到的新公式可满足。任一MCS中的子句保留在公式中,所得到的新公式不可满足。通过求解MCS 并调整约束集合,能够求解最小不可满足核心、MaxSAT 问题和最大（小）可满足解问题;还能够应用于故障定位、模型检查配置优化等实际问题中。 提出了一种基于不可满足原因的MCS求解算法,实现了相应的CUC工具。通过与目前最好的MCS求解工具LBX进行比较,得到了CUC性能优于LBX的结论。CUC比LBX平均多解出5%（65个）的公式。对于CUC和LBX均可解出的公式,CUC的平均求解时间比LBX快2.5倍。     

基于Partial MAX-SAT求解法的RBAC授权查询方法

为保证系统的安全性并体现授权的有效性,结合部分最大可满足性问题(Partial MAX-SAT)的研究,提出一种基于Partial MAX-SAT求解法的授权查询方法。使用转换规则将静态授权逻辑和动态互斥角色约束转化为严格子句,采用子句更新算法将满足不同匹配的请求权限转化为松弛子句,并利用子句编码及递归算法寻求真值指派,以满足所有严格子句和尽可能多的松弛子句。实验结果表明,该方法搜索的角色组合能够保证系统的安全性,并满足最小权限分配要求,且最大、精确匹配请求的查询效率优于MAX-SAT求解法。

View-based model-driven architecture for enhancing maintainability of data access services

In modern service-oriented architectures, database access is done by a special type of services, the so-called data access services (DAS). Though, particularly in data-intensive applications, using and developing DAS are very common today, the link between the DAS and their implementation, e.g. a layer of data access objects (DAOs) encapsulating the database queries, still is not sufficiently elaborated, yet. As a result, as the number of DAS grows, finding the desired DAS for reuse and/or associated documentation can become an impossible task. In this paper we focus on bridging this gap between the DAS and their implementation by presenting a view-based, model-driven data access architecture (VMDA) managing models of the DAS, DAOs and database queries in a queryable manner. Our models support tailored views of different stakeholders and are scalable with all types of DAS implementations. In this paper we show that our view-based and model driven architecture approach can enhance software development productivity and maintainability by improving DAS documentation. Moreover, our VMDA opens a wide range of applications such as evaluating DAS usage for DAS performance optimization. Furthermore, we provide tool support and illustrate the applicability of our VMDA in a large-scale case study. Finally, we quantitatively prove that our approach performs with acceptable response times.     

A pragmatic multi-method investigation of discrepant technological events: Coping,attributions, and ‘accidental’ learning

Discrepant technological events or situations that entail a problem, a misunderstanding or a difficulty with the Information Technology (IT) being employed, are common in the workplace, and can lead to frustration and avoidance behaviors. Little is known, however, about how individuals cope with these events. This paper examines these events by using a multi-method pragmatic approach informed by coping theory. The results of two studies – a critical incident study and an experiment – serve to build and test, respectively, a theoretical model that posits that individuals use a variety of strategies when dealing with these events: they experience negative emotions, make external attributions, and adopt engagement coping strategies directed at solving the event, eventually switching to a disengagement coping strategy when they feel they have no control over the situation. Furthermore, users’ efforts may result in ‘accidental’ learning as they try to overcome the discrepant IT events through engagement coping. The paper ends with a discussion of the results in light of existing literature, future opportunities for research, and implications for practice.     

The Distributed Time-Triggered Simulation Scheme: Core Principles and Supporting Execution Engine

Distributed real-time simulation is a young technology field but its practice is under increasing demands. In recent years the author and his collaborators have been establishing a new approach called the distributed time-triggered simulation (DTS) scheme which is conceptually simple and easy to use but widely applicable. The concept was initiated in the course of developing a new-generation object-oriented real-time programming scheme called the time-triggered message-triggered object (TMO) programming scheme. Some fundamental issues inherent in distributed real-time simulation that were learned during recent experimental studies are discussed along with some approaches for resolving the issues. An execution engine developed to support both the TMOs engaged in control computation and the TMOs engaged in DTS is also discussed along with its possible extensions that will enable significantly larger-scale DTSs.
