Edge computing solves such questions as the massive multisource data and resource consuming computing tasks in edge devices. Some new security problems especially the data security and privacy issues have been introduced into the edge computing scenario. Through analyzing the biological immune principles, a novel idea for the problem of intrusion detection in edge computing is provided. Specifically, an edge intrusion detection system (Edge IDS) with a distributed structure, which has the characteristics of an imprecise model, self-learning, and strong interactivity, is constructed in a systematic way inspired by the biological immune principles. Moreover, a newly proposed gene immune detection algorithm (GIDA) is designed. In order that Edge IDS can deal with the dynamic data problem efficiently, the key functional components such as the remaining gene, niching strategy, and extracting vaccine are embedded into the GIDA algorithm. Furthermore, extensive simulation experiments are conducted, and the results show that the proposed Edge IDS can be adapted to the domain of edge computing with comparative performance advantages. 1. Introduction (1) Due to the need for computing at the edge, privacy data needs to be transmitted to third parties (e.g., Nowadays, the Internet is dramatically growing with the pro- the edge servers operated by certain commercial liferation of a wide variety of network-connected devices companies).

For example, it is Edge IDS), and the third one is the device layer difficult for the Edge IDS to establish a precise detection (e.g., host firewall).

It proposes Although edge computing reduces the scale of data in the way of the remaining gene, niching strategy, and cloud computing, it is difficult to solve the problem of multi- abstracting vaccine, so as to deal with dynamic data source data in edge computing in many IDSs.

The influence of the thickness of ice film on the response of the QCM was investigated by an impedance analysis method. It is shown that part of freshly prepared amorphous ice film on QCM is disappeared gradually during a stimulant convection process at -18 C. We report a mulriple resonance phenomenon in QCM with unsymmetrical mass loading. The shape of the conductance- frequency spectrum of QCM depends on the thickness and distribution of the ice film deposited. After adsorption of ethanol vapor, the rigidity of the ice film is decreased gradually.

  • Detecting Spamming Stores by Analyzing Their Suspicious Behaviors
    1 Detecting Spamming Stores by Analyzing Their Suspicious Behaviors Ji Chengzhang*, Dae-Ki Kang** *Weifang University of Science & Technology, Weifang 262700, China **Dongseo University, 47 Churye Ro, Sasang-Gu, Busan 617-716, Republic of Korea [email protected], [email protected] Abstract— The purpose of this paper is to detect the stores with spamming behaviors. We identify suspicious behaviors of these stores to detect spamming stores. These suspicious behaviors are from the two following observations. First, spamming stores may target quantity of sale and product reviews to influence consumers' decisions. Second, they tend to deviate from the other stores in quantity of the sale and reviews. From those observations, we propose a novel scoring methods to find spamming stores, and they are applied on AliExpress dataset. Our experiment results show that our proposed methods are effective in finding spamming stores.

    2020 International Symposium on Education and Social Sciences (ESS 2020) The Empirical Assessment Study on the Quality of Undergraduate Education in Shandong Province Jiaming Wang a,*, Yunfei Zhang b, Yong Zhang c School of Chinese Law and Economics Management, Shengli College China University of Petroleum, Dongying Shandong, China a,*[email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. Higher education assessment has always been the focus of research by experts and scholars. Based on this, combined with the previous evaluation index system of undergraduate education quality constructed by using the index loop method, a data envelopment analysis model was constructed to conduct empirical evaluations of ordinary undergraduate colleges, private colleges, and independent colleges in Shandong Province, and visualize the results and discussion. Keywords: Data Envelopment Analysis, Undergraduate Education, Quality Assessment. 1. Introduction As for the evaluation of the quality of higher education, the most evaluations focus on output, but there is a large gap between the input of various types of universities. Insufficient investment in higher education institutions is likely to be lower. This article uses this as a starting point, combined with the indicator system that was previously constructed using the indicator loop method, from the perspective of input and output, to construct and improve the indicator system for the evaluation of educational quality in colleges and universities. References and supplements, contribute to the evaluation of the quality of higher education and improve the level. 2. Data Envelopment Analysis Data envelope analysis was proposed by A.
