PCEP application in cloud-network convergence and end to end traffic assurance scheme by Yue WANG, Aijun WANG, Honglei XU

“…With the booming development of new technologies such as cloud computing, big data and the continuous upgrading of communication infrastructure, the major domestic ISPs have proposed the development strategy of building a centralized control and flexible cloud network infrastructure under the trend of intelligent-traction network transformation.As a path calculation protocol widely used in the existing SDN architecture, PCEP protocol was often used to solve the problem of cross-layer and cross-domain path computing under complex network environment.The application of PCEP protocol in cloud-network convergence scenario was discussed and an end-to-end traffic guarantee scheme was introduced based on PCEP protocol which could ensure the connection-oriented network communication and make end-to-end service guarantee in native IP environment.It helps to improve the operators' ability of real-time perception, agile response and intelligent analysis of the network and meets the operation and maintenance management requirements such as global scheduling of communication resources, comprehensive opening of capabilities and flexible architecture.…”

Identifying vital nodes algorithm in social networks fusing higher-order information by Guanghui YAN, Meng ZHANG, Hao LUO, Shikui LI, Ting LIU

“…Identifying vital nodes is a basic problem in complex network research.The existing theoretical framework,mainly considered from the lower-order structure of node-based and edge-based relations often ignores important factors such as interactivity and transitivity between multiple nodes.To identify vital nodes more accurately,the motif,the high-er-order structure of the network,was studied as the basic unit.Firstly,a notion of higher-order degree of nodes in a com-plex network was proposed.Then,the higher-order structure and lower-order structure of nodes were fused into evidence theory.A semi-local identifying vital nodes algorithm fusing higher-order information of nodes was designed.The results of experiments on three real social networks show that the proposed algorithm can identify vital nodes more accurately in the network than the existing methods which only focus on the low-order structure.…”

Trustworthy service discovery based on a modified ant colony algorithm by Guo-jun SHENG, Tao WEN, Quan GUO, Xiao-ying SONG

“…Aiming at the problem of service discovery in unstructured P2P network,a trustworthy service discovery me-thod based on a modified ant colony algorithm was prop sed.Some novel policies were introduced to control the beha-vior of the ant colony,such as the dynamic ant colony policy,the sub-ant policy,the reputation evaluation policy to ser-vice peers,and the punishment policy to malicious peers.Service peers with high reputation could change their neighbors and make self-organization under the recommendation of ants.These policies and methods provide new ideas for the ap-plication researches of ant colony algorithms in the field of distributed service discovery.The results of experiments show that the proposed algorithm can guarantee higher trust service precision and better integrated service discovery performance in complex network environments,and some useful conclusions were obtained through the alysis and ex-planation of the experimental data,laying a solid foundation for further researches.…”
