Malware homology identification based on a gene perspective Research Papers

Bing-lin ZHAO, Zheng SHAN, Fu-dong LIU, Bo ZHAO, Yi-hang CHEN, Wen-jie SUN

Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2019, Volume 20, Issue 6, Pages 801-815 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.1800523

Abstract:

Malware homology identification is important in attacking event tracing, emergency response scheme generation, and event trend prediction. Current malware homology identification methods still rely on manual analysis, which is inefficient and cannot respond quickly to the outbreak of attack events. In response to these problems, we propose a new malware homology identification method from a gene perspective. A malware gene is represented by the subgraph, which can describe the homology of malware families. We extract the key subgraph from the function dependency graph as the malware gene by selecting the key application programming interface (API) and using the community partition algorithm. Then, we encode the gene and design a frequent subgraph mining algorithm to find the common genes between malware families. Finally, we use the family genes to guide the identification of malware based on homology. We evaluate our method with a public dataset, and the experiment results show that the accuracy of malware classification reaches 97% with high efficiency.

A New Way to Study the Three Essential Factors of Forest Fire

Zhao Xianwen

Strategic Study of CAE 2000, Volume 2, Issue 5, Pages 66-71

Abstract:

This thesis took the three essential factors of forest fire (fire source, environment, and litter) as the point of departure,and has approached the forecast method of forest fire in tropical area of southwest China in a macroscopic scale.

This study supported by mathematical method was from a new angle. For example,in the aspect of forest fire forecast, the main cause of forest fire was artificial fire, which had lots of randomness. So Markov random processes could be employed in the study. In the aspect of the analysis of environment that contributes to forest fire,correlation would reveal the relation among cosmos earth and life,for instance,the relation between the El Nino (or La Nina) and the forest fire. Especially in the aspect of estimating the amount of litter,a new estimate method based on space remote sensing data was raised. It provided an effective and quantitative way with higher reliability for forest fire forecast on region scale.

Research on engineering ethics in perspective of engineering community

Wang Jin

Strategic Study of CAE 2013, Volume 15, Issue 11, Pages 97-102

Abstract:

Micro-ethics in engineering focuses on engineers' personal responsibility and professional ethics, while the rapid development of science and technology stimulates the extensively double spiral between project creation and social development, but the impact of engineering on human and nature shows a runaway trend. Therefore, it is imperative to construct macro-ethics in engineering panoramically from the perspective of engineering community groups. This transformation from micro-ethics to macro-ethics includes four aspects: the relationship between overall project and society;engineers' professional responsibility in a broader, social context; the influence of engineering decision-making in sociopolitical level; the effort of providing high- quality and sustainable environment for future generations. This will be helpful for engineers to put the codes of ethics about using their knowledge and skills to promote human welfare into practice, and for making engineering meet human's "near by" expectation and "far vision" concern.

Christos G. Cassandras

Engineering 2016, Volume 2, Issue 2, Pages 156-158 doi: 10.1016/J.ENG.2016.02.012

Abstract:

The emerging prototype for a Smart City is one of an urban environment with a new generation of innovative services for transportation, energy distribution, healthcare, environmental monitoring, business, commerce, emergency response, and social activities. Enabling the technology for such a setting requires a viewpoint of Smart Cities as cyber-physical systems (CPSs) that include new software platforms and strict requirements for mobility, security, safety, privacy, and the processing of massive amounts of information. This paper identifies some key defining characteristics of a Smart City, discusses some lessons learned from viewing them as CPSs, and outlines some fundamental research issues that remain largely open.

Analysis of Market Demand, Opportunities, and Challenges for Railway Construction in Iran from a Chinese Enterprises’ Perspective

Lei Yang, Huang Chengfeng, Zhang Xuejin

Strategic Study of CAE 2019, Volume 21, Issue 4, Pages 124-130 doi: 10.15302/J-SSCAE-2019.04.021

Abstract:

After over a century’s development, railway transportation is now occupying an important position in the comprehensive transportation system in Iran. To serve the demands for domestic economic and social development and give full play to the regional advantages as an international transportation hub, Iran has formulated a ten-year railway development plan. By the end of 2025, all the existing railway lines in Iran are expected to be electrified, the rate of double track railways will be increased to 100%, and the railway mileage in Iran will be doubled. This Iranian railway upgrading plan has provided favorable opportunities for Chinese enterprises to enter the Iranian engineering construction market. Meanwhile, Chinese enterprises are facing various challenges, including the uncertainty of The Iranian Nuclear Deal, unsound business environment, competition from nations that are strong in railway construction, and Iran’s preference of technical standards. Therefore, Chinese enterprises should carefully assess the existing risks while observantly seizing the opportunities, and make rational decisions by comprehensively analyzing the international political and economic situations and comprehensively weighting the costs and benefits, thereby steadily “going global” under the “Belt and Road” initiative.

Paper evolution graph: multi-view structural retrieval for academic literature None

Dan-ping LIAO, Yun-tao QIAN

Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2019, Volume 20, Issue 2, Pages 187-205 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.1700105

Abstract:

Academic literature retrieval concerns about the selection of papers that are most likely to match a user’s information needs. Most of the retrieval systems are limited to list-output models, in which the retrieval results are isolated from each other. In this paper, we aim to uncover the relationships between the retrieval results and propose a method to build structural retrieval results for academic literature, which we call a paper evolution graph (PEG). The PEG describes the evolution of diverse aspects of input queries through several evolution chains of papers. By using the author, citation, and content information, PEGs can uncover various underlying relationships among the papers and present the evolution of articles from multiple viewpoints. Our system supports three types of input queries: keyword query, single-paper query, and two-paper query. The construction of a PEG consists mainly of three steps. First, the papers are soft-clustered into communities via metagraph factorization, during which the topic distribution of each paper is obtained. Second, topically cohesive evolution chains are extracted from the communities that are relevant to the query. Each chain focuses on one aspect of the query. Finally, the extracted chains are combined to generate a PEG, which fully covers all the topics of the query. Experimental results on a real-world dataset demonstrate that the proposed method can construct meaningful PEGs.

Robust object tracking with RGBD-based sparse learning Article

Zi-ang MA, Zhi-yu XIANG

Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2017, Volume 18, Issue 7, Pages 989-1001 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.1601338

Abstract: Robust object tracking has been an important and challenging research area in the field of computer vision for decades. With the increasing popularity of affordable depth sensors, range data is widely used in visual tracking for its ability to provide robustness to varying illumination and occlusions. In this paper, a novel RGBD and sparse learning based tracker is proposed. The range data is integrated into the sparse learning framework in three respects. First, an extra depth view is added to the color image based visual features as an independent view for robust appearance modeling. Then, a special occlusion template set is designed to replenish the existing dictionary for handling various occlusion conditions. Finally, a depth-based occlusion detection method is proposed to efficiently determine an accurate time for the template update. Extensive experiments on both KITTI and Princeton data sets demonstrate that the proposed tracker outperforms the state-of-the-art tracking algorithms, including both sparse learning and RGBD based methods.

The Globalization of Traditional Medicines: Perspectives Related to the European Union Regulatory Environment Perspective

Werner Knoess, Jacqueline Wiesner

Engineering 2019, Volume 5, Issue 1, Pages 22-31 doi: 10.1016/j.eng.2018.11.012

Abstract:

In the Member States of the European Union (EU), a harmonized legislation on medicinal products has been enforced, which specifically defines herbal medicinal products and traditional herbal medicinal products. The scope was to create a regulatory environment that takes into account the particular characteristics of herbal medicinal products. The harmonization of standards is intended to harmonize assessment and facilitate access to the market in different Member States. The standards defined by the EU herbal monographs of the Committee on Herbal Medicinal Products (HMPC) and the quality requirements laid down in the European Pharmacopoeia represent an excellent model of multinational harmonization of the regulatory environment for herbal and traditional medicines. It has also been demonstrated that this framework is at least partially applicable for herbal and traditional medicines from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to gain access to the EU market. Moreover, the HMPC provides specific guidance documents and pilot projects on monographs on the safety and efficacy of Chinese herbal drugs. In the European Pharmacopoeia, the number of quality monographs of herbal drugs with an origin in TCM is continuously growing. These developments indicate that globalization of traditional medicines is an ongoing process. Communication and cooperation between regulators, the scientific community, and interested stakeholders will set the stage for the convergence of diverse regulatory environments. This will contribute to worldwide availability of traditional medicines based on appropriate standards.

Servitization in Construction and its Transformation Pathway: A Value-Adding Perspective Article

Dian Liu, Hongwei Wang, Botao Zhong, Lieyun Ding

Engineering 2022, Volume 19, Issue 12, Pages 166-179 doi: 10.1016/j.eng.2021.09.013

Abstract:

Against the current social and technological background dominated by services and technology, new opportunities are opening up for the industrial transformation and upgrading of the construction industry. Considering the successful transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry through servitization, scholars and practitioners have begun to explore the possibility of servitization in the construction industry. Current practices and theory show that different understandings of servitization in the construction sector exist; however, they are still in their infancy and lack a deep and systematic awareness, which does not benefit the transformation and upgrading of construction through servitization. Therefore, this paper systematically analyzes the motivation, definition, and implications of servitization in construction based on the value-adding nature of servitization and considers the problems confronting the construction industry. To facilitate this development, transformation pathways for servitization in construction are analyzed from multiple angles, including value co-creation, service innovation, and networked operation, which are in line with the new trends in digital construction. In addition, based on the supporting elements of construction, which include finance, human resources, technology, materials, and equipment, this paper examines the impact of servitization on the construction industry’s ecology. In short, we expect that this systematic analysis and exposition can provide a holistic view of servitization in construction from the inside out for scholars and practitioners and can help to promote servitization in construction.

A Spatial–Temporal Network Perspective for the Propagation Dynamics of Air Traffic Delays Article

Qing Cai, Sameer Alam, Vu N. Duong

Engineering 2021, Volume 7, Issue 4, Pages 452-464 doi: 10.1016/j.eng.2020.05.027

Abstract:

Intractable delays occur in air traffic due to the imbalance between ever-increasing air traffic demand and limited airspace capacity. As air traffic is associated with complex air transport systems, delays can be magnified and propagated throughout these systems, resulting in the emergent behavior known as delay propagation. An understanding of delay propagation dynamics is pertinent to modern air traffic management. In this work, we present a complex network perspective of delay propagation dynamics. Specifically, we model air traffic scenarios using spatial-temporal networks with airports as the nodes. To establish the dynamic edges between the nodes, we develop a delay propagation method and apply it to a given set of air traffic schedules. Based on the constructed spatial–temporal networks, we suggest three metrics—magnitude, severity, and speed—to gauge delay propagation dynamics. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we carry out case studies on domestic flights in the Southeastern Asia region (SAR) and the United States. Experiments demonstrate that the propagation magnitude in terms of the number of flights affected by delay propagation and the amount of propagated delays for the US traffic are respectively five and ten times those of the SAR. Experiments further reveal that the propagation speed for US traffic is eight times faster than that of the SAR. The delay propagation dynamics reveal that about six hub airports in the SAR have significant propagated delays, while the situation in the United States is considerably worse, with a corresponding number of around 16. This work provides a potent tool for tracing the evolution of air traffic delays.

The Low-Carbon Transition of Energy Systems: A Bibliometric Review from an Engineering Management Perspective Review

Peng Zhou, Yue Lv, Wen Wen

Engineering 2023, Volume 29, Issue 10, Pages 147-158 doi: 10.1016/j.eng.2022.11.010

Abstract:

As a major solution to climate change, the low-carbon transition of energy systems has received growing attention in the past decade. This paper presents a bibliometric review of the literature on the low-carbon transition of energy systems from an engineering management perspective. First, the definition and boundaries of the energy system transition are clarified, covering transformation of the energy structure, decarbonization of fossil fuel utilization, and improvement in energy efficiency. Second, a systematic search of the related literature and a bibliometric analysis are conducted to reveal the research trends. It is found that the number of related publications has been growing exponentially during the past decade, with researchers from China, the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, and the Netherlands comprising the majority of authors. Related studies with interdisciplinary characteristics appear in journals focusing on energy engineering, environmental science, and social science related to energy issues. Four major research themes are identified by clustering the existing literature: ① low-carbon transition pathways with different spatiotemporal scales and transition constraints; ② low-carbon technology diffusion with a focus on renewable energy technologies, pollution control technologies, and other technologies facilitating the energy transition; ③ infrastructure network planning for energy systems covering various sectors and regions; and ④transition-driving mechanisms from the political, economic, social, and natural perspectives. These four topics play distinct but mutually supportive roles in facilitating the low-carbon transition of energy systems, and require more in-depth research on designing resilient low-carbon transition pathways with coordinated goals, promoting low-carbon technologies with cost-effective and reliable infrastructure network deployment, and balancing multi-level risks in various systems. Finally, business models, nongovernment actors, energy justice, deep decarbonization, and zeroenergy buildings are recognized as emerging hot topics.
