MULTI-OBJECTIVE PARAMETER OPTIMIZATION OF μ-EDM ON GREY RELATIONAL ANALYSIS AND ENTROPY WEIGHT METHOD (MT) by MO YuanDong, LIAN HaiShan, WANG YaZhi, HUANG ShuQi, ZHONG JiaJun

“…In order to meet the requirements of machining accuracy indexes such as the entry, exit and shape of micro-hole, a multi-objective parameter optimization weigh method for micro electrical discharge machining（EDM） based on grey relational analysis（GRA） and entropy weight method is proposed.By designing orthogonal experiment and processing test for H62 brass, the grey relational coefficient of each index of the experiment result sequence is calculated.The entropy weight method and grey relational analysis method are used to comprehensively evaluate the model, and the grey relational degree of each experiment sequence is obtained, and the mean value analysis is carried out to realize the transformation from multi-objective optimization to single objective optimization.The research results show that the entry Overcut（EnOV）, exit Overcut（ExOV） and taper（TA） of the optimized process parameters are reduced by 8.97%, 4.11% and 8.33% respectively compared with those of the H-22 group with the largest grey relational degree, and the machining accuracy of micropores is improved.…”

Cloud data secure deduplication scheme via role-based symmetric encryption by Jinbo XIONG, Yuanyuan ZHANG, Youliang TIAN, Zuobin YING, Qi LI, Rong MA

“…The rapid development of cloud computing and big data technology brings prople to enter the era of big data,more and more enterprises and individuals outsource their data to the cloud service providers.The explosive growth of data and data replicas as well as the increasing management overhead bring a big challenge to the cloud storage space.Meanwhile,some serious issues such as the privacy disclosure,authorized access,secure deduplication,rekeying and permission revocation should also be taken into account.In order to address these problems,a role-based symmetric encryption algorithm was proposed,which established a mapping relation between roles and role keys.Moreover,a secure deduplication scheme was proposed via role-based symmetric encryption to achieve both the privacy protection and the authorized deduplication under the hierarchical architecture in the cloud computing environment.Furthermore,in the proposed scheme,the group key agreement protocol was utilized to achieve rekeying and permission revocation.Finally,the security analysis shows that the proposed role-based symmetric encryption algorithm is provably secure under the standard model,and the deduplication scheme can meet the security requirements.The performance analysis and experimental results indicate that the proposed scheme is effective and efficient.…”
