Research on formal description and verification of automated trust negotiation by GUAN Shang-yuan 1, WU Wei-guo 1, DONG Xiao-she 1, QIAN De-pei1

“…First,a unified ATN formal framework was presented,into which typical negotiation strategies could be reduced.Second,the formal verification of ATN was defined based on the formal framework.The objectives and procedures of the formal verification of ATN were described.Third,several typical negotiation strategies were discussed,and the computational complexity of the corresponding verification problems was shown,several conclusions had been obtained.Last,the formal verification of ATN was implemented by using logic programming and model checking methods.The experimental results show that the number of rules is a crucial factor in determining the runtime.Both logic programming and model checking are efficient when the number of transition rules is small,and logic programming does not scale as well as model checking.…”

Joint optimization of edge computing and caching in NDN by Yu ZHANG, Min CHENG

“…Named data networking (NDN) is architecturally easier to integrate with edge computing as its routing is based on content names and its nodes have caching capabilities.Firstly, an integrated framework was proposed for implementing dynamic coordination of networking, computing and caching in NDN.Then, considering the variability of content popularity in different regions, a matrix factorization-based algorithm was proposed to predict local content popularity, and deep reinforcement learning was used to solve the the problem of joint optimization for computing and caching resource allocation and cache placement policy with the goal of maximizing system operating profit.Finally, the simulation environment was built in ndnSIM.The simulation results show that the proposed scheme has significant advantages in improving cache hit rate, reducing the average delay and the load on the remote servers.…”
