Abstract Security-sensitive functions are the basis for building a taint-style vulnerability model. Current approaches for extracting security-sensitive functions either don’t analyze data flow accurately, or not conducting pattern analyzing of conditions, resulting in higher false positive rate or false negative rate, which increased manual confirmation workload. In this paper, we propose a security sensitive function mining approach based on preconditon pattern analyzing. Firstly, we propose an enhanced system dependency graph analysis algorithm for precisely extracting the conditional statements which check the function parameters and conducting statistical analysis of the conditional statements for selecting candidate security sensitive functions of the target program.… More >

Abstract Mobile commerce (m-commerce) contributes to increasing the popularity of electronic commerce (e-commerce), allowing anybody to sell or buy goods using a mobile device or tablet anywhere and at any time. As demand for e-commerce increases tremendously, the pressure on delivery companies increases to organise their transportation plans to achieve profits and customer satisfaction. One important planning problem in this domain is the multi-vehicle profitable pickup and delivery problem (MVPPDP), where a selected set of pickup and delivery customers need to be served within certain allowed trip time. In this paper, we proposed hybrid clustering algorithms with the greedy randomised adaptive… More >

Abstract In order to study deeply the prominent problems faced by China’s clean government work, and put forward effective coping strategies, this article analyzes the network information of anti-corruption related news events, which is based on big data technology. In this study, we take the news report from the website of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) as the source of data. Firstly, the obtained text data is converted to word segmentation and stop words under preprocessing, and then the pre-processed data is improved by vectorization and text clustering, finally, after text clustering, the key… More >

Abstract Satellite observation schedule is investigated in this paper. A mission planning algorithm of task clustering is proposed to improve the observation efficiency of agile satellite. The newly developed method can make the satellite observe more targets and therefore save observation resources. First, for the densely distributed target points, a pre-processing scheme based on task clustering is proposed. The target points are clustered according to the distance condition. Second, the local observation path is generated by Tabu algorithm in the inner layer of cluster regions. Third, considering the scatter and cluster sets, the global observation path is obtained by adopting Tabu… More >

Abstract Due to the slow processing speed of text topic clustering in stand-alone architecture under the background of big data, this paper takes news text as the research object and proposes LDA text topic clustering algorithm based on Spark big data platform. Since the TF-IDF (term frequency-inverse document frequency) algorithm under Spark is irreversible to word mapping, the mapped words indexes cannot be traced back to the original words. In this paper, an optimized method is proposed that TF-IDF under Spark to ensure the text words can be restored. Firstly, the text feature is extracted by the TF-IDF algorithm combined CountVectorizer… More >

Abstract In recent years, the volume of information in digital form has increased tremendously owing to the increased popularity of the World Wide Web. As a result, the use of techniques for extracting useful information from large collections of data, and particularly documents, has become more necessary and challenging. Text clustering is such a technique; it consists in dividing a set of text documents into clusters (groups), so that documents within the same cluster are closely related, whereas documents in different clusters are as different as possible. Clustering depends on measuring the content (i.e., words) of a document in terms of… More >

Abstract A single model cannot satisfy the high-precision prediction requirements given the high nonlinearity between variables. By contrast, ensemble models can effectively solve this problem. Three key factors for improving the accuracy of ensemble models are namely the high accuracy of a submodel, the diversity between subsample sets and the optimal ensemble method. This study presents an improved ensemble modeling method to improve the prediction precision and generalization capability of the model. Our proposed method first uses a bagging algorithm to generate multiple subsample sets. Second, an indicator vector is defined to describe these subsample sets. Third, subsample sets are selected… More >

Abstract Aiming at the problem that the traditional collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm does not fully consider the influence of correlation between projects on recommendation accuracy, this paper introduces project attribute fuzzy matrix, measures the project relevance through fuzzy clustering method, and classifies all project attributes. Then, the weight of the project relevance is introduced in the user similarity calculation, so that the nearest neighbor search is more accurate. In the prediction scoring section, considering the change of user interest with time, it is proposed to use the time weighting function to improve the influence of the time effect of the evaluation,… More >

Abstract With the development of various navigation systems (such as GLONASS, Galileo, BDS), there is a sharp increase in the number of visible satellites. Accordingly, the probability of multiply gross measurements will increase. However, the conventional RAIM methods are difficult to meet the demands of the navigation system. In order to solve the problem of checking and identify multiple gross errors of receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM), this paper designed full matrix of single point positioning by QR decomposition, and proposed a new RAIM algorithm based on fuzzy clustering analysis with fuzzy c-means (FCM). And on the condition of single or… More >
