SAT-based differential automatic search algorithm using divide-and-conquer strategy and its applications by Bin HU, Xiao TAN, Senpeng WANG

“…To improve the efficiency of automatic search, an algorithm for searching the optimal differential characteristics based on SAT model was proposed by combining the divide-and-conquer strategy.The search space was divided into disjoint subsets by using the information from Matsui boundary conditions of arbitrary continuous rounds.By analyzing the relationships between satisfiability of differential models based on SAT, a descending branch search chain model was proposed.Furthermore, at the model optimization level, the number of subsets that need to be searched and partitioned was decreased.At the level of algorithm implementation, the search space was reduced by utilizing the parallel technology.Finally, the accelerated algorithm was applied to SPECK family of ARX cryptographic algorithms.The 20, 14, 11-round optimal differential characteristics of SPECK-48, SPECK-96, SPECK-128 are obtained, which increase the previous best results by 1, 4, 2 rounds respectively.…”

Feature selection method for software defect number prediction based on maximum information coefficient by Guoqing LIU, Xingqi WANG, Dan WEI, Jinglong FANG, Yanli SHAO

“…The traditional feature selection method only considers the linear correlation between variables and ignores the nonlinear correlation, so it is difficult to select effective feature subsets to build the effective model to predict the number of faults in software modules.Considering the linear and nonlinear relationship, a feature selection method based on maximum information coefficient (MIC) was proposed.The proposed method separated the redundancy analysis and correlation analysis into two phases.In the previous phase, the cluster algorithm, which was based on the correlation between features, was used to divide the redundant features into the same cluster.In the later phase, the features in each cluster were sorted in descending order according to the correlation between features and the number of software defects, and then the top features were selected to form the feature subset.The experimental results show that the proposed method can improve the prediction performance of software defect number prediction model by effectively removing redundant and irrelevant features.…”

An Obstacle Avoidance Scheme Maintaining Connectivity for Micro-Unmanned Aerial Vehicles by Hyo Hyun Choi, HyunSoo Choi, Myungwhan Choi, Taeshik Shon, ByoungSeob Park

“…To achieve this goal, directly after the UAVs avoid the obstacle at a raised altitude above it, they fly at a higher altitude for a while and then descend to their original height. When this approach is judged to be inefficient because the height of the obstacle is too high, the UAVs divide into two groups and move to either side of it while continuing to fly at the same altitude, thereby avoiding the obstacle. …”
