基于静态贝叶斯博弈的蠕虫攻防策略绩效评估

现有蠕虫攻击策略(防护策略)评估方法没有考虑防护策略(攻击策略)变化对攻击策略(防护策略)绩效评估的影响,且防护策略评估忽视了策略实施成本.针对这种情况,构建了基于静态贝叶斯博弈的绩效评估模型(performance evaluation model based on static Bayesian game,简称PEM-SBG)以及对抗情形下的蠕虫攻防策略绩效评估方法.在模型PEM-SBG基础上提出的基于灰色多属性理论的防护策略绩效评估方法,综合考虑了成本类和收益类的多个评估属性,有助于提高评估过程的全面性.针对典型的蠕虫攻防场景.利用仿真工具SSFNet进行了模拟实验,验证了所提出的模型和方法的有效性.     

Intelligent product search with soft-boundary preference relaxation

This paper proposes a novel method for preference relaxation in online product search, which enables consumers to make quality choices without suffering from the commonly experienced information overload. In online shopping scenarios that involve multi-attribute choice tasks, it can be difficult for consumers to process the vast amounts of information available and to make satisfactory buying decisions. In such situations consumers are likely to eliminate potentially good choices early on, using hard-constraint filtering tools. Our approach uses edge sets to identify the alternatives on the soft boundary and the principle of alternative domination to suppress the alternatives on this boundary that are irrelevant. We demonstrate how our approach outperforms existing methods for product search in a set of simulations using two sets of 2650 car advertisements and 1813 digital cameras gathered from a popular online store.     

A novel intrusion detection system based on feature generation with visualization strategy

In this paper, a four-angle-star based visualized feature generation approach, FASVFG, is proposed to evaluate the distance between samples in a 5-class classification problem. Based on the four angle star image, numerical features are generated for network visit data from KDDcup99, and an efficient intrusion detection system with less features is proposed. The FASVFG-based classifier achieves a high generalization accuracy of 94.3555% in validation experiment, and the average Mathews correlation coefficient reaches 0.8858.     

Perceptual encryption with compression for secure vector map data processing

With the rapidly rising interest in geographic information system (GIS) contents, a large volume of valuable map data has been unlawfully distributed by pirates. Therefore, the secure storage and transmission of classified national digital map datasets have been increasingly threatened. As the importance of secure, large-volume map datasets has increased, vector map security techniques that focus on secure network and data encryption have been studied. These techniques are required to ensure access control and prevent illegal copying of digital maps. This paper presents perceptual encryption on the vector compression domain for copy protection and access control of vector maps. Our algorithm compresses all vector data of polylines and polygons by lossless minimum coding object (MCO) units and perceptually encrypts using two processes using the mean points and directions of MCOs. The first process changes the position of vector data by randomly permuting the mean points of MCOs, the so-called position encryption. The second process changes the geographic shape by circularly encrypting the directions of vertices in MCOs by the XOR operator. Experimental results have verified that our algorithm can encrypt GIS digital maps effectively and simply and can also improve the compression ratio, unlike general data encryption techniques, and thus, our algorithm is very effective for a large volume of GIS datasets.     

A novel high-order weighted fuzzy time series model and its application in nonlinear time series prediction

Conventional time series forecast models can hardly develop the inherent rules of complex non-linear dynamic systems because the strict assumptions they need cannot always be met in reality, whereas fuzzy time series (FTS) techniques can be used even the records of times series have uncertainty and instability since they do not need strict assumptions. In previous study of FTS, the process of aggregating the past observations and assigning proper weights of fuzzy logical relationship groups are ignored, which may lead to poor forecasting accuracy since they are important aspects in time series prediction and analysis where determination of future trends depends only on past observations. In this paper, a novel high-order FTS model is constructed to make time series forecasting. Specifically, by applying the harmony search intelligence algorithm, the optimal lengths of intervals are tuned. Moreover, regularly increasing monotonic quantifiers are employed on fuzzy sets to obtain the weights of ordered weighted aggregation. Simultaneously, the weights of right-hand side of fuzzy logical relationship groups are explored to compensate the presence of bias in the prediction. In the part of empirical analysis, the developed model was applied to predict three well-known time series: numbers of enrollment of Alabama University, TAIEX and electricity load demand of New South Wales and the results obtained were compared with several counterparts, including some old and recently developed models. Experimental results demonstrate that the developed model cannot only achieve higher accuracy of prediction, but also capture the fuzzy features and characters.     

A historiographic review of health education interventions and the microcomputer

Since the advent of the microcomputer in the 1970s and the Internet in the early 1990s, the Information Age has revolutionized modern society and daily life and reshaped the health education and health promotion (HEHP) fields. Microcomputers have evolved from a rare commodity to a standard expectation for HEHP professional preparation, program development, and delivery of services and information. To examine microcomputer use in both historical and contemporary perspective, this article identifies and evaluates the first publications that explored possible application of microcomputers and computer-assisted instruction in the HEHP field. A historiographic review was conducted between January 1960 and December 1989 and by applying search strategies to ten academic electronic databases. Articles were evaluated for subject matter, article type, target audience, and applicability to the HEHP fields using these constructs: Effectiveness, cost-containment, instructional, pilot test, tailoring, and theory. The article sample was carefully reviewed, tabulated, and evaluated. The search procedure identified 39 articles which met the search parameters and demonstrated applicability with one or more core constructs. Effectiveness and tailoring emerged as the most prominent constructs associated with HEHP; a call to action was the most common article type. What was apparent during the search period and relevant today is the necessary rejection of a single method for microcomputer application. A relationship between target audiences and the populations they served is also apparent in the early literature.     

Bin packing and related problems: General arc-flow formulation with graph compression

We present an exact method, based on an arc-flow formulation with side constraints, for solving bin packing and cutting stock problems—including multi-constraint variants—by simply representing all the patterns in a very compact graph. Our method includes a graph compression algorithm that usually reduces the size of the underlying graph substantially without weakening the model.Our formulation is equivalent to Gilmore and Gomory׳s, thus providing a very strong linear relaxation. However, instead of using column-generation in an iterative process, the method constructs a graph, where paths from the source to the target node represent every valid packing pattern.The same method, without any problem-specific parameterization, was used to solve a large variety of instances from several different cutting and packing problems. In this paper, we deal with vector packing, bin packing, cutting stock, cardinality constrained bin packing, cutting stock with cutting knife limitation, bin packing with conflicts, and other problems. We report computational results obtained with many benchmark test datasets, some of them showing a large advantage of this formulation with respect to the traditional ones.     

Analysis of roof and pillar failure associated with weak floor at a limestone mine

A limestone mine in Ohio has had instability problems that have led to massive roof falls extending to the surface. This study focuses on the role that weak, moisture-sensitive floor has in the instability issues.Previous NIOSH research related to this subject did not include analysis for weak floor or weak bands and recommended that when such issues arise they should be investigated further using a more advanced analysis. Therefore, to further investigate the observed instability occurring on a large scale at the Ohio mine, FLAC3 D numerical models were employed to demonstrate the effect that a weak floor has on roof and pillar stability. This case study will provide important information to limestone mine operators regarding the impact of weak floor causing the potential for roof collapse, pillar failure, and subsequent subsidence of the ground surface.
