A Hierarchical Cache Architecture-Oriented Cache Management Scheme for Information-Centric Networking by Yichao Chao, Rui Han

“…Information-Centric Networking (ICN) typically utilizes DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) to build in-network cache components due to its high data transfer rate and low latency. However, DRAM faces significant limitations in terms of cost and capacity, making it challenging to meet the growing demands for cache scalability required by increasing Internet traffic. …”

Hierarchical proxy consensus optimization for IoV based on blockchain and trust value by Baoqin ZHAI, Jian WANG, Lei HAN, Jiqiang LIU, Jiahao HE, Tianhao LIU

“…With the rapid development of Internet of vehicles, 5G and artificial intelligence technologies, intelligent transportation has become the development trend of transportation technology.As a vehicle-vehicle and vehicle-road information interaction platform, the Internet of vehicles is the basic support platform for intelligent traffic information sharing and processing.At the same time, the security of Internet of vehicles has attracted much attention, especially data security which may cause user privacy leakage.The blockchain technology has become a solution, but it still faces new challenges in efficiency, security and other aspects.With the increase of vehicle nodes and information, how to efficiently achieve information consensus in high-speed vehicle moving environment has become a key problem.Then a bottom-up RSU (road side unit) chain consensus protocol was proposed based on blockchain and trust value.Several typical consensus structures were compared, and bottom-up two-layer consensus structure was adopted according to the actual scenarios of the Internet of vehicles.Moreover, a group leader node election algorithm was proposed which is based on node participation, work completion and message value.The system security was ensured by assigning trust value to each vehicle.Following the consensus structure and algorithm work mentioned above, the specific process of the protocol was comprehensively described, which was divided into six steps: region division, group leader node selection, local consensus, leader primary node selection, global consensus, and intra-domain broadcast.Then the experiments were analyzed from four aspects: security, communication complexity, consensus algorithm delay and fault tolerance rate.Experiments showed that, compared with other schemes, the proposed protocol can effectively reduce communication complexity and shorten consensus delay under the condition of resisting conspiracy attack, witch attack and other attacks.On the premise of security, the protocol improves fault tolerance rate and enables more nodes to participate in information sharing to satisfy the requirements of Internet of vehicles scenarios.…”

Short-Term Optimal Scheduling Method of Cascade Hydropower Stations Based on Segmented Load Construction Strategy by LI Chonghao, LI Shushan, TANG Hongbing, LIU Huan, MA Xiangyu, LIAO Shengli

“…With the rapid development of China's economy,electricity demand has increased.As the largest clean energy in China,hydropower has been put into large-scale and centralized production,and the most complex large-scale hydropower system in the world is formed.However,short-term hydropower optimal scheduling faces the serious challenge of the curse of dimensionality due to massive cascade hydropower stations,numerous hydropower constraints,and time-sensitive scheduling requirements.Therefore,this paper proposes a short-term optimal scheduling method for cascade hydropower stations based on a segmented load construction strategy.First,the selection rules of the hydropower stations to be regulated are formulated from the perspective of the regulation performance,location,and task of the cascade hydropower stations.Then,a method is given to divide the complex original load into two sub-load processes,namely the segmented load process with time reduction scale and the residual load process with frequent fluctuations.Finally,the adjustment method is given,and the particle swarm algorithm is used for traversal and optimization at different stages,so as to find the load division process when the target is optimal.By taking seven cascade hydropower stations in a certain river basin in southwest China as research objects,a mature particle swarm algorithm is used to simulate the typical day during the flood and dry periods.The results show that the segmented load construction strategy proposed in this paper can effectively reduce the solution complexity,and the appropriate number of segments can improve the solution efficiency while ensuring the solution quality.In addition,this method greatly reduces the output fluctuation of auxiliary hydropower stations and helps to reduce the difficulty of scheduling and unit loss.Therefore,the method proposed in this paper can provide a reference for solving the short-term scheduling of large-scale cascade hydropower stations and is of good practical value.…”
