The continuous quadrant penalty formulation of logical constraints by Cafieri, Sonia, Conn, Andrew R., Mongeau, Marcel

“…We propose a continuous-optimization alternative to the usual discrete-optimization (big-M and complementary) formulations of logical constraints, that can lead to effective practical methods. Based on the simple idea of guiding the search of a continuous-optimization descent method towards the parts of the domain where the logical constraint is satisfied, we introduce a smooth penalty-function formulation of logical constraints, and related theoretical results. …”

Identity-based puncturable signature scheme by Dongmei YANG, Yue CHEN, Jianghong WEI, Xuexian HU

“…To overcome the shortcomings of available forward-secure identity-based signature （IBS） scheme in terms of actual practicability and secret key update efficiency， the notion of identity-based puncturable signature （IBPS） scheme was proposed based on the idea of puncturable public-key encryption scheme.Specifically， the syntax and security notion of IBPS were given， and then a concrete IBPS scheme was constructed based on Bloom filter.Under the computational Diffie-Hellman assumption， the proposed scheme achieved the existential unforgeability in the random oracle model.The performance analysis and implementation results demonstrate that， compared with traditional forward-secure IBS schemes， the proposed scheme provides more practical fine-grained forward secrecy， and has higher efficiency of secret key update.…”

Study on the direction of artificial intelligence technology based on network evolution by Zhen YANG, Jianjun ZHAO, Yongjun HUANG, Jie LI, Nan CHEN

“…The national strategy positions artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of things (IoT)/5G as important components of information technology facilities at the same time.Among them, AI belongs to new technology infrastructure, and IoT/5G belongs to communication network infrastructure.It leads to the technical direction of “integrate and develop communication and AI technology”.For telecom operators, how to integrate AI technology with the network, reconstruct network technology architecture, and open “AI ability” as a “service” will be an important technology evolution direction.Based on this proposition, the development direction of AI and network technology in the future was discussed, and a reference idea for the integration development and application direction of AI technology with the network architecture of IoT/5G in the future was provided.…”

La violence par partenaire intime : enjeux traductologiques et politiques des catégorisations de la violence by Samantha Saïdi

Blockchain-based ARP defense scheme by Fanming LIU, Wei SHI

“…In order to improve the difficulty of maintaining the static binding method when defending against ARP attacks,a defense method was designed with the features of low cost of defense and easy maintenance by using the idea of a blockchain technology.The blockchain structure had been improved,and the transaction index table structure had been designed to identify attacks and update data in a timely manner to prevent subsequent attacks.The content of the transaction index table was updated after the IP address was changed normally to ensure the correctness of the query.Analysis and experiments show that the blockchain-based defense method has the following merits:high security,guaranteeing the data is not tampered with,low cost of maintenance,and effective prevention against ARP spoofing attacks.…”

A Worthy Heir: Donald Trump, the Republican Party and Climate Change by Jean-Daniel Collomb

“…The aim of this article is to demonstrate that Donald Trump’s commitment to climate skepticism and his hostility toward the very idea of a proactive federal apparatus of environmental regulation do not mark a departure from Republican and conservative orthodoxy but, rather, signal his adherence to positions developed and refined by the libertarian and free-market conservative think tanks that have been supplying the Republican Party with ideas and policy proposals since the 1970s. …”
