Design and Implementation of Distributed Self-Election Dynamic Array Honeypot System

Traditional honeypot is in fact a "passive proactive" defense mechanism because it may lose the value entirely once the adversary has detected the existence of the static trap and bypassed it.Our work focuses on a Self-Election dynamic honeypot framework which aims to bewilder attackers by coordinating and switching roles periodically to form a huge dynamic puzzle.In this paper,we discuss the UDP Spokesman synchronization scheme and the Self-Election coordination method,perform the framework simulation of the dynamic array honeypot with NS2,carry out the prototype implementation by Java,and then validate the effectiveness and feasibility on the simulation and prototype system.The promising results of applying this framework to mitigate the effects of attacks are shown and analyzed.Our work demonstrates that the Self-Election dynamic array honeypot system is feasible and effective for proactive network confrontation.

Winning Probability Estimation Based on Improved Bradley-Terry Model and Bayesian Network for Aircraft Carrier Battle

To provide a decision-making aid for aircraft carrier battle,the winning probability estimation based on Bradley-Terry model and Bayesian network is presented. Firstly,the armed forces units of aircraft carrier are classified into three types,which are aircraft,ship and submarine. Then,the attack ability value and defense ability value for each type of armed forces are estimated by using BP neural network,whose training results of sample data are consistent with the estimation results. Next,compared the assessment values through an improved Bradley-Terry model and constructed a Bayesian network to do the global assessment,the winning probabilities of both combat sides are obtained. Finally,the winning probability estimation for a navy battle is given to illustrate the validity of the proposed scheme.

Knowledge-oriented modeling for influencing factors of battle damage in military industrial logistics:An integrated method

Modeling influencing factors of battle damage is one of essential works in implementing military industrial logistics simulation to explore battle damage laws knowledge.However,one of key challenges in designing the simulation system could be how to reasonably determine simulation model input and build a bridge to link battle damage model and battle damage laws knowledge.In this paper,we propose a novel knowledge-oriented modeling method for influencing factors of battle damage in military industrial logistics,integrating conceptual analysis,conceptual modeling,quantitative modeling and simulation implementation.We conceptualize influencing factors of battle damage by using the principle of hierarchical decomposition,thus classifying the related battle damage knowledge logically.Then,we construct the conceptual model of influencing factors of battle damage by using Entity-Relations hip approach,thus describing their interactions reasonably.Subsequently,we extract the important influencing factors by using social network analysis,thus evaluating their importance quantitatively and further clarifying the elements of simulation.Finally,we develop an agent-based military industry logistics simulation system by taking the modeling results on influencing factors of battle damage as simulation model input,and obtain simulation model output,i.e.,new battle damage laws knowledge,thus verifying feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.The results show that this method can be used to support human decision-making and action.

Dependability in Future Battle Network System —Transport Layer Ability to Maintain Quality of Service

Modernization of armies is a constant process and is driven by intuitive fact that those who do not modernize will become extinct. In last five decades, the development of modern armies has taken place around Colonel John Boyd’s theory of OODA loop that deals with information superiority. Building a robust, mobile and capable network that could provide for novel appliances and information superiority is the main challenge which modernizers are facing. Network, suitable for future combat operations, and able to transport a vast amount of information on a battlefield, is expensive to build. Every mistake in design and the need to correct those mistakes could halt development in an army for years. Therefore, system dependability analysis during system design phase is needed. In this report, the concept of a future Battle Network System is described. The Report evaluates operational environment of BNS and possible failure reasons of the service, and illustrates the change in BNS Quality of Service due to probable transport layer errors. This paper describes the method of testing the concept of proposed network systems on the drawing board, and emphasizes design points for a new system. Nevertheless, the proposed method is by no means conclusive. Rather, it describes an engineering approach to define the main problems while creating MANET-based networking systems.

A Quantum Battle of the Sexes in Noninertial Frame

We investigate the influence of the Unruh effect on the quantum Battle of the Sexes (BOF). We show that the acceleration of a noninertial frame greatly affects the payoffs of the players. In the case of Battle of the Sexes, the Nash Equilibra in the inertial frame may be equilibrium but in other games this conclusion may not be true anymore. Furthermore, we also show that the new Nash Equilibria of the game played in the noninertial frame and the probability distributions of the players in the new Nash Equilibria vary with the acceleration of moving player and the degree of entanglement in the initial state shared by the players.

Dynamical Systems Theory Compared to Game Theory: The Case of the Salamis’s Battle

In this paper, we present an innovative non–linear, discrete, dynamical system trying to model the historic battle of Salamis between Greeks and Persians. September 2020 marks the anniversary of the 2500 years that have passed since this famous naval battle which took place in late September 480 B.C. The suggested model describes very well the most effective strategic behavior between two participants during a battle (or in a war). Moreover, we compare the results of the Dynamical Systems analysis to Game Theory, considering this conflict as a “war game”.

Historical Writing of the Battle of Sarhu and the Imperial Propaganda of Qianlong

The Battle of Sarhu,a series of battles between the Late Jin Dynasty(later known as the Qing Dynasty)and the Ming Dynasty in 1619,was described as a symbol for the rising of the Late Jin Dynasty by the historical narratives of Qing Dynasty.But indifferent Qing Dynasty emperors’historical narratives about the Battle of Sarhu,they had different emphases on their narratives.By comparing the historical narratives of the Qing TaiZu Huang Di Shi Lu and Kang Xi’s historical narrative the Qing Tai ZuGao Huang Di Shi Lu,the paper explores Qianlong’s political appeal for protecting legitimacy and ordering the monarch-subject relationship,as well as cautioning to the Eight Banners through the text selection,text structure,and the text content of Sarhu Zhi Zhan Shu Shi.

Evidential Reasoning in Air Battle Systems

Bayesian statistics assigns basic probabilities to singletons （single element sets）. The Dempster-Shafer evidence theory generalizes Bayesian statistics by assigning basic probabilities to subsets to represent evidence and to develop evidential reasoning. This paper discusses what is the strength of evidence theory. As an application of evidence theory, evidential reasoning in air battle systems is discussed. In the air battle system, evidential reasoning is applied to fuse the muitisensor iaformation and identify the type of aircraft. The effectiveness of this fusion approach is evaluated by simulated data.

Cloud computing(CC)is developing as a powerful and flexible computational structure for providing ubiquitous service to users.It receives interrelated software and hardware resources in an integrated manner distinct from the classical computational environment.The variation of software and hardware resources were combined and composed as a resource pool.The software no more resided in the single hardware environment,it can be executed on the schedule of resource pools to optimize resource consumption.Optimizing energy consumption in CC environments is the question that allows utilizing several energy conservation approaches for effective resource allocation.This study introduces a Battle Royale Optimization-based Resource Scheduling Scheme for Cloud Computing Environment(BRORSS-CCE)technique.The presented BRORSS-CCE technique majorly schedules the available resources for maximum utilization and effectual makespan.In the BRORSS-CCE technique,the BRO is a population-based algorithm where all the individuals are denoted by a soldier/player who likes to go towards the optimal place and ultimate survival.The BRORSS-CCE technique can be employed to balance the load,distribute resources based on demand and assure services to all requests.The experimental validation of the BRORSS-CCE technique is tested under distinct aspects.The experimental outcomes indicated the enhancements of the BRORSS-CCE technique over other models.

British Clocks in Eighteenth-Century China:Presents,Tribute,or Trade?

It is commonly believed that most European clocks that reached China before the nineteenth century were sent to the emperor as diplomatic presents from European rulers,or were given to Chinese officials by European merchants in attempts to improve trading conditions.Although such presents had been given in earlier times,British records show that,by the eighteenth century when the export of clocks to China reached its height,most clocks,including the finest,reached China as private trade goods.Once in Canton(Guangzhou),the best clocks were bought by local Chinese officials for inclusion in their annual tribute to the emperor and senior members of the government in Beijing,where many of these clocks survive in the former imperial collection.

Battle Royale Optimization with Fuzzy Deep Learning for Arabic Sentiment Classification

Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis(ABSA)on Arabic corpus has become an active research topic in recent days.ABSA refers to a fine-grained Sentiment Analysis(SA)task that focuses on the extraction of the conferred aspects and the identification of respective sentiment polarity from the provided text.Most of the prevailing Arabic ABSA techniques heavily depend upon dreary feature-engineering and pre-processing tasks and utilize external sources such as lexicons.In literature,concerning the Arabic language text analysis,the authors made use of regular Machine Learning(ML)techniques that rely on a group of rare sources and tools.These sources were used for processing and analyzing the Arabic language content like lexicons.However,an important challenge in this domain is the unavailability of sufficient and reliable resources.In this background,the current study introduces a new Battle Royale Optimization with Fuzzy Deep Learning for Arabic Aspect Based Sentiment Classification(BROFDL-AASC)technique.The aim of the presented BROFDL-AASC model is to detect and classify the sentiments in the Arabic language.In the presented BROFDL-AASC model,data pre-processing is performed at first to convert the input data into a useful format.Besides,the BROFDL-AASC model includes Discriminative Fuzzy-based Restricted Boltzmann Machine(DFRBM)model for the identification and categorization of sentiments.Furthermore,the BRO algorithm is exploited for optimal fine-tuning of the hyperparameters related to the FBRBM model.This scenario establishes the novelty of current study.The performance of the proposed BROFDL-AASC model was validated and the outcomes demonstrate the supremacy of BROFDL-AASC model over other existing models.

Measures adopted to battle condenser tube corrosion

Introduction Perhaps the most serious problem afflicting the control ofboiler feedwater quality is the ingress of cooling water into turbinecondensate. For power plants without condensate polishing system,the salt impurities leak directly into the boiler feedwater to con-tmminate the latter. Many boilers have experienced severe furnace-tube corrosion and even furnace-tube ruptures due to this problem. Station chemists are charged with the responsibility ofmaintaining water quality to conform to specified standards. But incase of condenser in-leakage, the chemist is unable to restore thewater quality directly and immediately because the location

Friction in War： The Effects of Climate, Disease, and Morale at the Battle of Labadieville

This article reviews and applies the theories of two of the most prominent post-Napoleonic writers, the Baron de Jomini and Carl yon Clausewitz, to an obscure yet relevant battle in the American Civil War. Civil War commanders were trained in the Napoleonic art of war, and attempted on the battlefield to execute the basic principles of warfare as outlined by Jomini. Despite the best plans and executions of strategy and tactics, frictions in war, as discussed by von Clausewitz, tend to disrupt preparations and affect battle outcomes. The south Louisiana 1862 Battle of Labadieville serves as an ideal case study for fostering this thesis.

Seeing the Balkan War Through the Memoirs of the Battle of Gallipoli

The twentieth century features numerous phenomena remarkable for Turkish history. Such wars as the Trablusgarp （Turco-ltalian） War （1911）, the Balkan War （1912-1913）, World War I （1914-1918）, and National War of Independence （1919-1922） caused traumas that remain vivid in the minds of Turkish people and at the time devastated their psychological well-being and social lives. However, military and social disappointment caused by the Balkan War played an important part in invigorating and motivating soldiers to fight in the Battle of Gallipoli, which cleansed the taint caused by the Balkan defeat and reminded Turkish soldiers of their glorious past. The current study attempts to reveal how the shame caused by the Balkan defeat disappeared in the trenches at the Battle of Gallipoli. To this end, wartime writings, memoirs, and diaries were analyzed and evaluated. The primary concern of this study is comparison of how these two battles featured in the memoirs and/or reports or columns written by officers, soldiers, and intellectuals who participated in and witnessed the two wars.

Coordination, Compromise, and Change： An Implication of the Repeated Games of ＂the Battle of the Sexes＂

The aim of this paper is to reveal the mechanism of compromise and change in coordination where players agree in general but disagree on coordination methods. When players agree on the need to collaborate but are in conflict regarding the specific method, one player must always compromise. This situation is known as the Battle of the Sexes in game theory. It has ever been believed that if an agreement is reached under such circumstances, the players do not have the incentive to withdraw from the agreement. However, this study shows that this belief is not always true if the players were able to revise the outcome of their negotiations later. The wide-ranging fields use game theories for their analysis frameworks to analyze the success or failure of coordination. However, comparing with the possibility of betrayal illustrated as a well-known Prisoner Dilemma, it has been rare to discuss conflict regarding the specific method of coordination, although such situations are often observed in today＇s interdependent real world. The repeated Battle of the Sexes games presented in this study would be a useful framework to analyze conflict regarding the specific method of coordination.
