An important issue is to design caching methods with better cache hit rate and achieve allocating on-demand. Therefore, an in-network caching scheduling scheme for ICN was designed, distinguishing different kinds of contents and dynamically allocating the cache size on-demand. First discussing what was appropriated to be cached in nodes, and then a classification about the contents could be cached was proposed. Furthermore, we used AHP to weight different contents classes through analyzing users' behavior. And a distributed control process was built, to achieve differentiated caching resource allocation and management. The designed scheme not only avoids the waste of caching resource, but also further enhances the cache availability. Finally, the simulation results are illustrated to show that our method has the superior performance in the aspects of server hit rate and convergence.展开更多

In contrast with the traditional self-organized public-key management, the average certificates paths get more short, the authentication passing rate gets more high and the most important is that the bidirectional trust based model satisfys the trust re quirement of hosts better.展开更多

The prototype of the parking management system has been implemented and the preliminary test results show that the performance of the system can satisfy the requirements of the application.
文摘The distributed management has become an important tendency of development for the NMS (Network Management System) with the development of Internet. Based on the analysis of CORBA (Conmon Object Request Broker Architecture) technique, we mainly discuss about the applicability of the approach by which CORBA combined with Java has been applied to the system model and Web architecture: and address the applied frame and the interface definitions that are the, key technologies for implementing the Distributed Object Computing (DOC). In addition, we also conduct the research on its advantages and disadvantages and further expected improvements.

文摘This paper summarizes the state of art in quantum communication networks and trust management in recent years.As in the classical networks,trust management is the premise and foundation of quantum secure communication and cannot simply be attributed to security issues,therefore the basic and importance of trust management in quantum communication networks should be taken more seriously.Compared with other theories and techniques in quantum communication,the trust of quantum communication and trust management model in quantum communication network environment is still in its initial stage.In this paper,the core technologies of establishing secure and reliable quantum communication networks are categorized and summarized,and the trends of each direction in trust management of quantum communication network are discussed in depth.

文摘As a result of rapid development in electronics and communication technology,large-scale unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs)are harnessed for various promising applications in a coordinated manner.Although it poses numerous advantages,resource management among various domains in large-scale UAV communication networks is the key challenge to be solved urgently.Specifically,due to the inherent requirements and future development trend,distributed resource management is suitable.In this article,we investigate the resource management problem for large-scale UAV communication networks from game-theoretic perspective which are exactly coincident with the distributed and autonomous manner.By exploring the inherent features,the distinctive challenges are discussed.Then,we explore several gametheoretic models that not only combat the challenges but also have broad application prospects.We provide the basics of each game-theoretic model and discuss the potential applications for resource management in large-scale UAV communication networks.Specifically,mean-field game,graphical game,Stackelberg game,coalition game and potential game are included.After that,we propose two innovative case studies to highlight the feasibility of such novel game-theoretic models.Finally,we give some future research directions to shed light on future opportunities and applications.
文摘Edge devices in Internet of Things(IoT)applications can form peers to communicate in peer-to-peer(P2P)networks over P2P protocols.Using P2P networks ensures scalability and removes the need for centralized management.However,due to the open nature of P2P networks,they often suffer from the existence of malicious peers,especially malicious peers that unite in groups to raise each other’s ratings.This compromises users’safety and makes them lose their confidence about the files or services they are receiving.To address these challenges,we propose a neural networkbased algorithm,which uses the advantages of a machine learning algorithm to identify whether or not a peer is malicious.In this paper,a neural network(NN)was chosen as the machine learning algorithm due to its efficiency in classification.The experiments showed that the NNTrust algorithm is more effective and has a higher potential of reducing the number of invalid files and increasing success rates than other well-known trust management systems.
