MapReduce is commonly used as a parallel massive data processing model. When deploying it as a service over the open systems, the computational integrity of the participants is becoming an important issue due to the untrustworthy workers. Current duplication-based solutions can effectively solve non-collusive attacks, yet most of them require a centralized worker to re-compute additional sampled tasks to defend collusive attacks, which makes the worker a bottleneck. In this paper, we try to explore a trusted worker scheduling framework, named VAWS, to detect collusive attackers and assure the integrity of data processing without extra re-computation. Based on the historical results of verification, we construct an Integrity Attestation Graph (IAG) in VAWS to identify malicious mappers and remove them from the framework. To further improve the efficiency of identification, a verification-couple selection method with the IAG guidance is introduced to detect the potential accomplices of the confirmed malicious worker. We have proven the effectiveness of our proposed method on the improvement of system performance in theoretical analysis. Intensive experiments show the accuracy of VAWS is over 97% and the overhead of computation is closed to the ideal value of 2 with the increasing of the number of map tasks in our scheme.

Optical Network-on-Chip (ONoC) is a promising emerging technology, which can solve the bottlenecks faced by electrical on-chip interconnection. However, the existing proposals of ONoC are mostly built on fixed topologies, which are not flexible enough to support various applications. To make full use of the limited resource and provide a more efficient approach for resource allocation, RONoC (Reconfigurable Optical Network-on-Chip) is proposed in this letter. The topology can be reconfigured to meet the requirement of different applications. An 8×8 nonblocking router is also designed, together with the communication mechanism. The simulation results show that the saturation load of RONoC is 2 times better than mesh, and the energy consumption is 25% lower than mesh.

As a hierarchical network framework, clustering aims to divide nodes with similar mobility characteristics into the same cluster to form a more structured hierarchical network, which can effectively solve the problem of high dynamics of the network topology caused by the high-speed movement of nodes in aeronautical ad hoc networks. Based on this goal, we propose a multi-hop distributed clustering algorithm based on link duration. The algorithm is based on the idea of multi-hop clustering, which ensures the coverage and stability of clustering. In the clustering phase, the link duration is used to accurately measure the degree of stability between nodes. At the same time, we also use the link duration threshold to filter out relatively stable links and use the gravity factor to let nodes set conditions for actively creating links based on neighbor distribution. When selecting the cluster head, we select the most stable node as the cluster head node based on the defined node stability weight. The node stability weight comprehensively considers the connectivity degree of nodes and the link duration between nodes. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, we compare them with the N-hop and K-means algorithms from four indicators: average cluster head duration, average cluster member duration, number of cluster head changes, and average number of intra-cluster link changes. Experiments show that the proposed method can effectively improve the stability of the topology.
