An efficient and DoS-resistant user authentication scheme for two-tiered wireless sensor networks

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are vulnerable to security attacks due to their deployment and resource constraints.Considering that most large-scale WSNs follow a two-tiered architecture,we propose an efficient and denial-of-service (DoS)-resistant user authentication scheme for two-tiered WSNs.The proposed approach reduces the computational load,since it performs only simple operations,such as exclusive-OR and a one-way hash function.This feature is more suitable for the resource-limited sensor nodes and mobile devices.And it is unnecessary for master nodes to forward login request messages to the base station,or maintain a long user list.In addition,pseudonym identity is introduced to preserve user anonymity.Through clever design,our proposed scheme can prevent smart card breaches.Finally,security and performance analysis demonstrates the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed scheme.     

Arbitrary decay rate for two connected strings with joint anti-damping by boundary output feedback

In this paper, we are concerned with the boundary stabilization of two connected strings with middle joint anti-damping for which all eigenvalues of the (control) free system are located on the right complex plane. We first design an explicit state feedback controller to achieve exponential stability for the closed-loop system. Consequently, we design the output feedback by using infinite-dimensional observer. The backstepping approach is adopted in investigation. It is shown that by using one boundary stabilizer only, the output feedback can make the closed-loop system exponentially stable with arbitrary decay rate.     

Two‐phase trace‐driven simulation (TPTS): a fast multicore processor architecture simulation approach

Simulation is indispensable in computer architecture research. Researchers increasingly resort to detailed architecture simulators to identify performance bottlenecks, analyze interactions among different hardware and software components, and measure the impact of new design ideas on the system performance. However, the slow speed of conventional execution‐driven architecture simulators is a serious impediment to obtaining desirable research productivity. This paper describes a novel fast multicore processor architecture simulation framework called Two‐Phase Trace‐driven Simulation (TPTS), which splits detailed timing simulation into a trace generation phase and a trace simulation phase. Much of the simulation overhead caused by uninteresting architectural events is only incurred once during the cycle‐accurate simulation‐based trace generation phase and can be omitted in the repeated trace‐driven simulations. We report our experiences with tsim, an event‐driven multicore processor architecture simulator that models detailed memory hierarchy, interconnect, and coherence protocol based on the TPTS framework. By applying aggressive event filtering, tsim achieves an impressive simulation speed of 146 millions of simulated instructions per second, when running 16‐thread parallel applications.

A new vertical‐alignment LC mode with high‐transmittance and fast‐response‐time features

Abstract— A novel pixel design for vertical‐alignment LCDs with superior transmittance has been developed. The new liquid‐crystal mode, refered to as the hole‐induced vertical‐alignment mode (Hi‐VA), uses a via hole of an organic layer on a TFT substrate to achieve multi‐domain alignment. Compared to the conventional design, the Hi‐VA mode has a transmittance of up to 135% with a contrast ratio of 2000:1. Moreover, the new structure is free from ITO patterning or protrusion on the color‐filter side, which makes the fabrication process simple and low cost.
