The problem of determining soil parameters is considered. Their exact knowledge is of great importance for planning and managing water systems, assessing the possible size of catastrophic floods, etc. These parameters are proposed to be found by solving some optimal control problem, where the controlled process is described by the Richards equation. The objective function is mean-square deviation of the observed soil moisture values from its simulated values, which are obtained from the solution of the Richards equation with the selected parameters values. Numerical optimization is performed using Newton method. Derivatives of the objective function are calculated using fast automatic differentiation techniques.

The main difference between container-based and virtualization-based cloud environments is the way of the virtualization methods for OS and auxiliary resources. Software applications can be both deployed in a cloud on virtual machines or in local data centres on physical machines. Containers are based on OS-level virtualization. So, container applications can be deployed on a virtual machine in the cloud too. To deal with the growth of various, but functionally similar cloud environments, the TOSCA [1] (Topology and Orchestration for Cloud Applications) standard was created. It allows to describe deployment resources in a TOSCA Domain-specific language that does not depend on the provider. Kubernetes [8] is an open-source system for deployment automation, scaling, and management of containerized applications. TOSCA standard was created to describe cloud applications, but the model may be suitable for describing container applications that Kubernetes orchestrate. This paper considers Kubernetes as a cloud provider and examines the applicability of the TOSCA standard for unifying deployment and orchestration not only of resources provided by virtualization-based clouds but also of containerized ones.

This paper considers the problem of influential users detection in online social networks. Identifying of such key entities is of interest in many areas: marketing, politics, information security, business. The degree of the node of the corresponding graph is used as a popularity indicator in this work. Network query limitation is the main challenge in discovering their structure. Therefore, our task is to detect a percentage of the highest degree network nodes under a budget restriction. We propose a three-step crawling algorithm in two versions to solve the problem. We experimentally show its efficiency at various budget limits and superiority over known crawling strategies. For example, to detect top-1% of hubs with 90% precision, one needs to crawl 5% of graph nodes in average with our 3-StepBatch algorithm. We also show that our algorithm performs well for different target set sizes, from 0.01% to 10% of the graph.

This paper discusses thread-local garbage collection (GC), a technique of automatic memory management aimed at improving GC throughput and reducing GC pauses in managed runtimes. It exploits the observation that most objects do not escape the scope of the thread that allocated them; therefore, memory occupied by those objects can be reclaimed locally within the thread. Performance measurements demonstrate that the proposed scheme has an advantage over a highly optimized stop-the-world collector used in an experimental JVM on some throughput-oriented benchmarks.

Cryptographic protocols are utilized for establishing a secure session between “honest” agents which communicate strictly according to the protocol rules as well as for ensuring the authenticated and confidential transmission of messages. The specification of a cryptographic protocol is usually presented as a set of requirements for the sequences of transmitted messages including the format of such messages. Note that protocol can describe several execution scenarios. All these requirements lead to a huge formal specification for a real cryptographic protocol and therefore, it is difficult to verify the security of the whole cryptographic protocol at once. In this paper, to overcome this problem, we suggest verifying the protocol security for its fragments. Namely, we verify the security properties for a special set of so-called traces of the cryptographic protocol. Intuitively, a trace of the cryptographic protocol is a sequence of computations, value checks, and transmissions on the sides of “honest” agents permitted by the protocol. In order to choose such set of traces, we introduce an Adversary model and the notion of a similarity relation for traces. We then verify the security properties of selected traces with Tamarin Prover. Experimental results for the EAP and Noise protocols clearly show that this approach can be promising for automatic verification of large protocols.
