With the quickly developing data centers in smart cities, reducing energy consumption and improving network performance, as well as economic benefits, are essential research topics. In particular, Data Center Networks do not always run at full capacity, which leads to significant energy consumption. This paper experiments with a range of optimization tools to find the optimal solutions for the Integer Linear Programming (ILP) model of network power consumption. The study reports on experiments under three communication patterns (near, long, and random), measuring runtime and memory consumption in order to evaluate the performance of different ILP solvers.While the results show that, for near traffic pattern, most of the tools rapidly converge to the optimal solution, CP-SAT provides the most stable performance and outperforms the other solvers for the long traffic pattern. On the other hand, for random traffic pattern, Gurobi can be considered to be the best choice, since it is able to solve all the benchmark instances under the time limit and finds solutions faster by 1 or 2 orders of magnitude than the other solvers do.
随着智慧城市数据中心的快速发展,降低能耗、提高网络性能、提高经济效益是必不可少的研究课题。特别是,数据中心网络并不总是满负荷运行,这会导致大量的能源消耗。本文尝试了一系列优化工具来寻找网络功耗整数线性规划(ILP)模型的最优解。该研究报告了三种通信模式(近、长、随机)下的实验,测量了运行时和内存消耗,以评估不同ILP求解器的性能。结果表明,对于近交通模式,大多数工具都能快速收敛到最优解,而对于长交通模式,CP-SAT提供了最稳定的性能并优于其他求解器。另一方面,对于随机的流量模式,Gurobi可以被认为是最好的选择,因为它能够在时间限制内解决所有的基准实例,并且比其他求解器更快地找到解决方案1到2个数量级。

Refined Fuzzy Profile Matching 改进模糊轮廓匹配
Q4 Computer Science Pub Date : 2023-09-18 DOI: 10.14232/actacyb.277380
Gábor Rácz, Attila Sali, Klaus-Dieter Schewe
A profile describes a set of properties, e.g. a set of skills a person may have or a set of skills required for a particular job. Profile matching aims to determine how well a given profile fits to a requested profile and vice versa. Fuzzyness is naturally attached to this problem. The filter-based matching theory uses filters in lattices to represent profiles, and matching values in the interval [0,1], so the lattice order refers to subsumption between the concepts in a profile. In this article the lattice is extended by additional information in form of weighted extra edges that represent partial quantifiable relationships between these concepts. This gives rise to fuzzy filters, which permit a refinement of profile matching. Another way to introduce fuzzyness is to treat profiles as fuzzy sets. In the present paper we combine these two aproaches. Extra edges may introduce directed cycles in the directed graph of the ontology, and the structure of a lattice is lost. We provide a construction grounded in formal concept analysis to extend the original lattice and remove the cycles such that matching values determined over the extended lattice are exactly those resulting from the use of fuzzy filters in case of crisp profiles. For fuzzy profiles we show how to modify the weighting construction while eliminating the directed cycles but still regaining the matching values. We also give sharp estimates for the growth of the number of vertices in this construction.
概要文件描述了一组属性,例如,一个人可能拥有的一组技能,或者一项特定工作所需的一组技能。配置文件匹配的目的是确定给定的配置文件与请求的配置文件的匹配程度,反之亦然。这个问题自然带有模糊性。基于滤波器的匹配理论使用格中的滤波器来表示轮廓,匹配值在区间[0,1]内,因此格的顺序是指轮廓中概念之间的包容。在这篇文章中,晶格被以加权额外边的形式的附加信息扩展,这些额外边表示这些概念之间的部分可量化关系。这就产生了模糊过滤器,它允许对轮廓匹配进行细化。引入模糊性的另一种方法是将概要文件视为模糊集。在本文中,我们将这两种方法结合起来。多余的边可能会在本体的有向图中引入有向环,从而丢失一个格的结构。我们提供了一种基于形式概念分析的构造,以扩展原始晶格并去除循环,从而在扩展晶格上确定的匹配值正是在清晰轮廓的情况下使用模糊滤波器产生的值。对于模糊轮廓,我们展示了如何修改权重结构,同时消除有向循环,但仍然恢复匹配值。我们还对这种结构中顶点数量的增长给出了尖锐的估计。

Corner-Based Implicit Patches 基于角的隐式补丁
Q4 Computer Science Pub Date : 2023-06-26 DOI: 10.14232/actacyb.299598
Ágoston Sipos
Free-form multi-sided surfaces are often defined by side interpolants (also called ribbons), requiring that the surface has to connect to them with a prescribed degree of smoothness. I-patches represent a family of implicit surfaces defined by an arbitrary number of ribbons. While in the case of parametric surfaces describing ribbons is a well-discussed problem, defining implicit ribbons is a different task. In this paper, we introduce a new representation, corner I-patches, where implicit corner interpolants are blended together. Corner interpolants are usually simpler, lower-degree surfaces than ribbons. The shape of the patch depends on a handful of scalar parameters; constraining them ensures continuity between adjacent patches. Corner I-patches have several favorable properties that can be exploited for design, volume rendering, or cell-based approximation of complex shapes.
自由形式的多边面通常由边插值(也称为带)定义,要求表面必须以规定的平滑度连接到它们。i -patch表示由任意数量的条带定义的隐式曲面族。在参数曲面的情况下,描述带状是一个讨论得很好的问题,而定义隐式带状是另一项任务。 在本文中,我们引入了一种新的表示,角i -patch,其中隐式角插值混合在一起。角插值通常是比色带更简单、度更低的曲面。贴片的形状取决于一些标量参数;约束它们可以确保相邻补丁之间的连续性。角i -patch有几个有利的特性,可以用于设计、体积渲染或基于单元的复杂形状近似。

Towards Abstraction-based Probabilistic Program Analysis 基于抽象的概率程序分析
IF 0.4 Q4 Computer Science Pub Date : 2023-06-02 DOI: 10.14232/actacyb.298287

Probabilistic programs that can represent both probabilistic and non-deterministic choices are useful for creating reliability models of complex safety-critical systems that interact with humans or external systems. Such models are often quite complex, so their analysis can be hindered by state-space explosion. One common approach to deal with this problem is the application of abstraction techniques. We present improvements for an abstraction-refinement scheme for the analysis of probabilistic programs, aiming to improve the scalability of the scheme by adapting modern techniques from qualitative software model checking, and make the analysis result more reliable using better convergence checks. We implemented and evaluated the improvements in our Theta model checking framework.

A family is the smallest entity that formed the world with specific characteristics. The characteristics of a family are that the member can/may share some similar DNA and leads to similar physical appearances, including similar facial features. This paper proposed a dual convolutional neural network (CNN) with a pyramid attention network for image-based kinship verification problems. The dual CNN classifier is formed by paralleling the FaceNet CNN architecture followed by family-aware features extraction network and three final fully-connected layers. A channel-wise pyramid attention network is added after the last convolutional layers of FaceNet CNN architecture. The family-aware features extraction network is used to learn family-aware features using the SphereFace loss function. The final features used to classify the kin/non-kin pair are joint aggregation features between the pyramid attention features and family-aware features. At the end of the fully connected layer, a softmax loss layer is attached to learn kinship verification via binary classification problems. To analyze the performance of our proposed classifier, we performed experiments heavily on the Family in The Wild (FIW) kinship verification dataset. The FIW kinship verification dataset is the largest dataset for kinship verification currently available. Experiments of the FIW dataset show that our proposed classifier can achieve the highest average accuracy of 68.05% on a single classifier scenario and 68.73% on an ensemble classifier scenario which is comparable with other state-of-the-art methods. 
家庭是构成具有特定特征的世界的最小实体。一个家庭的特征是成员可以/可能拥有一些相似的DNA,并导致相似的外貌,包括相似的面部特征。本文提出了一种具有金字塔关注网络的双卷积神经网络(CNN)来解决基于图像的亲属关系验证问题。双CNN分类器由并行FaceNet CNN架构,然后是家族感知特征提取网络和三个最终的全连接层组成。在FaceNet CNN架构的最后一层卷积层之后,添加了一个通道式金字塔注意力网络。家族感知特征提取网络利用SphereFace损失函数学习家族感知特征。最后用于分类亲缘/非亲缘对的特征是金字塔注意特征和家族意识特征之间的联合聚集特征。为了分析我们提出的分类器的性能,我们在Family in the Wild (FIW)亲属关系验证数据集上进行了大量实验。FIW亲属关系验证数据集是目前可用的最大的亲属关系验证数据集。FIW数据集的实验表明,我们提出的分类器在单个分类器场景下可以达到68.05%的最高平均准确率,在集成分类器场景下可以达到68.73%的最高平均准确率,与其他最先进的方法相当。

The culpable cybersecurity practices that threaten leading organizations are logically prone to establishing countermeasures, including HoneyPots, and bestow research innovations in various dimensions such as ML-enabled threat predictions. This article proposes an explainable AI-assisted permissioned blockchain framework named EA-POT for predicting potential defaulters' IP addresses. EA-POT registers the predicted defaulters based on the suggestions levied by explainable AI and the approval of IP authorizers to blockchain database to enhance immutability. Experiments were carried out at IoT Cloud Research laboratory using three prediction models such as Random Forest Modeling (RFM), Linear Regression Modeling (LRM), and Support Vector Machines (SVM); and, the observed experimental results for predicting the AWS HoneyPots were explored. The proposed EA-POT framework revealed the procedure to include interpretable knowledge while blacklisting IPs that reach HoneyPots.

Adding Semantics to Measurements 为测量添加语义

The design and operation of modern software systems exhibit a shift towards virtualization, containerization and service-based orchestration. Performance capacity engineering and resource utilization tuning become priority requirements in such environments. Measurement-based performance evaluation is the cornerstone of capacity engineering and designing for performance. Moreover, the increasing complexity of systems necessitates rigorous performance analysis approaches. However, empirical performance analysis lacks sophisticated model-based support similar to the functional design of the system. The paper proposes an ontology-based approach for facilitating and guiding the empirical evaluation throughout its various steps. Hyperledger Fabric (HLF), an open-source blockchain platform by the Linux Foundation, is modelled and evaluated as a pilot example of the approach, using the standard TPC-C performance benchmark workload.

Verifying Provable Stability Domains for Discrete-Time Systems Using Ellipsoidal State Enclosures 用椭球状态罩验证离散系统的可证明稳定域
IF 0.4 Q4 Computer Science Pub Date : 2022-05-16 DOI: 10.14232/actacyb.293871
A. Rauh, Auguste Bourgois, L. Jaulin
Stability contractors, based on interval analysis, were introduced in recent work as a tool to verify stability domains for nonlinear dynamic systems. These contractors rely on the property that - in case of provable asymptotic stability - a certain domain in a multi-dimensional state space is mapped into its interior after a certain integration time for continuous-time processes or after a certain number of discretization steps in a discrete-time setting. However, a disadvantage of the use of axis-aligned interval boxes in such computations is the omnipresent wrapping effect. As shown in this contribution, the replacement of classical interval representations by ellipsoidal domain enclosures reduces this undesirable effect. It also helps to find suitable ratios for the edge lengths if interval-based domain representations are investigated. Moreover, ellipsoidal domains naturally represent the possible regions of attraction of asymptotically stable equilibrium points that can be analyzed with the help of quadratic Lyapunov functions, for which stability criteria can be cast into linear matrix inequality (LMI) constraints. For that reason, this paper further presents possible interfaces of ellipsoidal enclosure techniques with LMI approaches. This combination aims at the maximization of those domains that can be proven to be stable for a discrete-time range-only localization algorithm in robotics. There, an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is applied to a system for which the dynamics are characterized by a discrete-time integrator disturbance model with additive Gaussian noise. In this scenario, the measurement equations correspond to the distances between the object to be localized and beacons with known positions.
在最近的工作中,引入了基于区间分析的稳定性承包商,作为验证非线性动态系统稳定性域的工具。这些承包商依赖于这样的性质,即在可证明渐近稳定性的情况下,多维状态空间中的某个域在连续时间过程的一定积分时间后或在离散时间设置中的一定数量的离散化步骤后被映射到其内部。然而,在这种计算中使用轴对齐的间隔框的缺点是无处不在的包裹效应。如该贡献所示,用椭球域包围代替经典区间表示减少了这种不期望的影响。如果研究基于区间的域表示,这也有助于找到合适的边长比率。此外,椭球域自然地表示渐近稳定平衡点的可能吸引区域,这些吸引区域可以借助于二次李雅普诺夫函数进行分析,其稳定性准则可以转化为线性矩阵不等式(LMI)约束。因此,本文进一步提出了椭球封闭技术与LMI方法的可能接口。这种组合旨在最大化那些可以被证明对于机器人中的仅离散时间范围的定位算法是稳定的领域。在那里,将扩展卡尔曼滤波器(EKF)应用于一个系统,该系统的动力学特征是具有加性高斯噪声的离散时间积分器扰动模型。在这种情况下,测量方程对应于待定位物体和具有已知位置的信标之间的距离。

Currently there are many attempts around the world to use computers, smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices in order to stop the spread of COVID-19. Most of these attempts focus on collecting information about infected people, in order to help healthy people avoid contact with them. However, social distancing decisions are still taken by the governments empirically. That is, the authorities do not have an automated tool to recommend which decisions to make in order to maximize social distancing and to minimize the impact for the economy. In this paper we address the aforementioned problem and we design an algorithm that provides social distancing methods (i.e., what schools, shops, factories, etc. to close) that are efficient (i.e., that help reduce the spread of the virus) and have low impact on the economy. On short: a) we propose several models (i.e., combinatorial optimization problems); b) we show some theoretical results regarding the computational complexity of the formulated problems; c) we give an algorithm for the most complex of the previously formulated problems; d) we implement and test our algorithm.
目前,世界各地都在尝试使用电脑、智能手机、平板电脑等电子设备来阻止新冠病毒的传播。这些尝试大多侧重于收集有关感染者的信息,以帮助健康人避免与他们接触。然而,保持社会距离的决定仍然是政府根据经验做出的。也就是说,当局没有一个自动工具来建议做出哪些决定,以最大限度地保持社会距离,并最大限度地减少对经济的影响。在本文中,我们解决了上述问题,并设计了一种算法,该算法提供了有效(即有助于减少病毒传播)且对经济影响较小的社交距离方法(即关闭哪些学校、商店、工厂等)。简而言之:a)我们提出了几个模型(即组合优化问题);B)我们展示了一些关于公式化问题的计算复杂性的理论结果;C)我们给出了一种算法来解决之前表述的最复杂的问题;D)我们实现并测试我们的算法。

In this paper, we are concerned with dense languages and non primitive words. A language L is said to be dense if any string can be found as a substring of element of L. In 2020, Ryoma Syn'ya proved that any regular language with positive asymptotic density always containsinfinitely many non-primitive words. Since positive asymptotic density implies density, it is natural to ask whether his result can be generalized for a wider class of dense languages. In this paper, we actually obtain such generalization.
在本文中,我们关注的是密集语言和非原始词。如果可以找到任何字符串作为L元素的子字符串,则称L语言是稠密的。2020年,Ryoma Syn'ya证明了任何具有正渐近密度的正则语言总是包含有限多个非原始词。由于正渐近密度意味着密度,所以很自然地会问他的结果是否可以推广到更广泛的一类稠密语言。在本文中,我们实际上得到了这样的推广。
