A Nonuniform Sensor Distribution Strategy for Avoiding Energy Holes in Wireless Sensor Networks by Guoxi Ma, Zhengsu Tao

“…The single non-uniform nodes distribution strategy can alleviate the energy hole problem well by setting more nodes in networks to achieve energy balance, yet it may result in low energy efficiency and high cost of the networks. …”

A Hole-Tolerant Redundancy Scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks by Juhua Pu, Yu Gu, Yi Zhang, Jia Chen, Zhang Xiong

“…This HRS scheme can tolerate some coverage holes when determining redundancy eligibility, so it shuts down more nodes when hole tolerance is higher. Our work takes into account both homoradius WSNs and heteroradius WSNs. …”

Geographical linkage and trade disruption within global photovoltaic supply chains by Weilong Li, Meng Zhang, Mengyao Han

“…The complexity of photovoltaic supply chains increases significantly with the addition of more nodes and edges in the networks. The vulnerability of critical photovoltaic supply chains tends to intensify with the increasing concentration of global supply chains in a geographic sense. …”

Sparse connectivity enables efficient information processing in cortex-like artificial neural networks by Rieke Fruengel, Rieke Fruengel, Marcel Oberlaender, Marcel Oberlaender

“…We explore the origins of these surprising findings and show that conventional dense ANNs distribute information across only a very small fraction of nodes, whereas sparse ANNs distribute information across more nodes. We show that sparsity is most critical in networks with fixed excitatory and inhibitory nodes, mirroring neuronal cell types in cortex. …”

Hierarchical proxy consensus optimization for IoV based on blockchain and trust value by Baoqin ZHAI, Jian WANG, Lei HAN, Jiqiang LIU, Jiahao HE, Tianhao LIU

“…With the rapid development of Internet of vehicles, 5G and artificial intelligence technologies, intelligent transportation has become the development trend of transportation technology.As a vehicle-vehicle and vehicle-road information interaction platform, the Internet of vehicles is the basic support platform for intelligent traffic information sharing and processing.At the same time, the security of Internet of vehicles has attracted much attention, especially data security which may cause user privacy leakage.The blockchain technology has become a solution, but it still faces new challenges in efficiency, security and other aspects.With the increase of vehicle nodes and information, how to efficiently achieve information consensus in high-speed vehicle moving environment has become a key problem.Then a bottom-up RSU (road side unit) chain consensus protocol was proposed based on blockchain and trust value.Several typical consensus structures were compared, and bottom-up two-layer consensus structure was adopted according to the actual scenarios of the Internet of vehicles.Moreover, a group leader node election algorithm was proposed which is based on node participation, work completion and message value.The system security was ensured by assigning trust value to each vehicle.Following the consensus structure and algorithm work mentioned above, the specific process of the protocol was comprehensively described, which was divided into six steps: region division, group leader node selection, local consensus, leader primary node selection, global consensus, and intra-domain broadcast.Then the experiments were analyzed from four aspects: security, communication complexity, consensus algorithm delay and fault tolerance rate.Experiments showed that, compared with other schemes, the proposed protocol can effectively reduce communication complexity and shorten consensus delay under the condition of resisting conspiracy attack, witch attack and other attacks.On the premise of security, the protocol improves fault tolerance rate and enables more nodes to participate in information sharing to satisfy the requirements of Internet of vehicles scenarios.…”

Multi-objective game for fighting against Distributed Reflection DoS attacks in software-defined network by Vianney Kengne Tchendji, Mthulisi Velempini, Priva Chassem Kamdem

“…This approach is a non-cooperative multi-objective game between the attacker which aims to (1) compromise more nodes to scale the volume of its attack, (2) launch a volumetric-based DrDoS in the network, and the defender which aims to avoid it. …”

“…However, one of the main challenges in the research of this kind of networks is to offer increased scalability, this is why the quality of service (QoS) plays an important factor on its implementation, because the increase of the nodes implies that there is an increase of delay, since the packets must pass through more nodes to their final destination. To avoid this problem, it is important to consider the correct use of metrics that are appropriate for each type of service. …”
