Dynamic group key management scheme for homogeneous wireless sensor networks by Tao WEN, Yong ZHANG, Quan GUO, Feng-kun LI

“…Focuses on the study of GKM scheme applicable to homogenous network model，proposed a clear and complete key management model for dynamic groups for the first time and exposed a dynamic group key management(DGKM)scheme based on symmetric polynomials.The scheme provided a solution to related group key management issues,such as key establishment,key updating,node addition and node revocation,for a multicast group consisting of any number(bigger than 2 and less than the total number)of nodes.Besides,the scheme supported node mobility as well as scalability and coped well with the unreliable wireless multicast communication.Group members can get group key by computing and with little wireless communication,therefore,greatly reduced the cost of key agreement.The analysis shows the scheme has very good performance in terms of storage,computation as well as communication and is more suitable to wireless sensor networks with limited capability.…”

Autonomous deployment and energy efficiency optimization strategy of UAV based on deep reinforcement learning by Yi ZHOU, Xiaoyong MA, Fuxiao GAO, Wei LI, Nan CHENG, Ning LU

“…Utilizing a UAV to build aerial mobile small cell can provide more flexible and efficient access services for ground terminal users.Constrained by the coverage and limited energy of the UAV,it is necessary to study how to build a fast,efficient and energy-saving air-ground collaborative network.To deal with complex dynamic scenarios,the UAV needs to deploy an optimal coverage position,and meanwhile reduce both path loss and energy consumption in the deployment process.Based on the deep reinforcement learning,a strategy of autonomous UAV deployment and efficiency optimization was proposed.The coverage state set of UAV was established,and the energy efficiency was used as a reward function.Depth neural network and Q-learning were used to guide UAV to make autonomous decision and deploy the optimal position.The simulation results show that the deployment time of the proposed method can be effectively reduced by 60%,while the energy consumption can be reduced by 10%~20%.…”

The territorial dimension of transactions in the Canary Islands’ grape market by Dirk Godenau, Gloria Martín-Rodríguez, José Ignacio González-Gómez, José Juan Cáceres-Hernández

“…This is a market fragmented into different wine-grape zones and institutionally organised through protected designations of origin (PDOs) which, except in the case of one that is regional in scope, restrict the spatial mobility of grapes. We use information from the harvest declarations submitted by grape growers, which indicate the location of the vineyard plots, and production declarations submitted by the wine producers, which indicate the grape grower who supplies grapes to their winery, as well as from harvest reports, which contain a record that facilitates the traceability of the grape's journey from the plot of origin to the winery of destination. …”
