文摘With the rapid development of Intelligent Transportation Systems(ITS),many new applications for Intelligent Connected Vehicles(ICVs)have sprung up.In order to tackle the conflict between delay-sensitive applications and resource-constrained vehicles,computation offloading paradigm that transfers computation tasks from ICVs to edge computing nodes has received extensive attention.However,the dynamic network conditions caused by the mobility of vehicles and the unbalanced computing load of edge nodes make ITS face challenges.In this paper,we propose a heterogeneous Vehicular Edge Computing(VEC)architecture with Task Vehicles(TaVs),Service Vehicles(SeVs)and Roadside Units(RSUs),and propose a distributed algorithm,namely PG-MRL,which jointly optimizes offloading decision and resource allocation.In the first stage,the offloading decisions of TaVs are obtained through a potential game.In the second stage,a multi-agent Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient(DDPG),one of deep reinforcement learning algorithms,with centralized training and distributed execution is proposed to optimize the real-time transmission power and subchannel selection.The simulation results show that the proposed PG-MRL algorithm has significant improvements over baseline algorithms in terms of system delay.

文摘The rapid adoption of machine learning in sensitive domains,such as healthcare,finance,and government services,has heightened the need for robust,privacy-preserving techniques.Traditional machine learning approaches lack built-in privacy mechanisms,exposing sensitive data to risks,which motivates the development of Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning(PPML)methods.Despite significant advances in PPML,a comprehensive and focused exploration of Secure Multi-Party Computing(SMPC)within this context remains underdeveloped.This review aims to bridge this knowledge gap by systematically analyzing the role of SMPC in PPML,offering a structured overviewof current techniques,challenges,and future directions.Using a semi-systematicmapping studymethodology,this paper surveys recent literature spanning SMPC protocols,PPML frameworks,implementation approaches,threat models,and performance metrics.Emphasis is placed on identifying trends,technical limitations,and comparative strengths of leading SMPC-based methods.Our findings reveal thatwhile SMPCoffers strong cryptographic guarantees for privacy,challenges such as computational overhead,communication costs,and scalability persist.The paper also discusses critical vulnerabilities,practical deployment issues,and variations in protocol efficiency across use cases.

文摘The Industrial Internet of Things(IIoT),combined with the Cyber-Physical Systems(CPS),is transforming industrial automation but also poses great cybersecurity threats because of the complexity and connectivity of the systems.There is a lack of explainability,challenges with imbalanced attack classes,and limited consideration of practical edge–cloud deployment strategies in prior works.In the proposed study,we suggest an Impact-Aware Taxonomy-Driven Machine Learning Framework with Edge Deployment and SHapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP)-based Explainable AI(XAI)to attack detection and classification in IIoT-CPS settings.It includes not only unsupervised clustering(K-Means and DBSCAN)to extract latent traffic patterns but also supervised classification based on taxonomy to classify 33 different kinds of attacks into seven high-level categories:Flood Attacks,Botnet/Mirai,Reconnaissance,Spoofing/Man-In-The-Middle(MITM),Injection Attacks,Backdoors/Exploits,and Benign.The three machine learning algorithms,Random Forest,XGBoost,and Multi-Layer Perceptron(MLP),were trained on a realworld dataset of more than 1 million network traffic records,with overall accuracy of 99.4%(RF),99.5%(XGBoost),and 99.1%(MLP).Rare types of attacks,such as injection attacks and backdoors,were examined even in the case of extreme imbalance between the classes.SHAP-based XAI was performed on every model to help gain transparency and trust in the model and identify important features that drive the classification decisions,such as inter-arrival time,TCP flags,and protocol type.A workable edge-computing implementation strategy is proposed,whereby lightweight computing is performed at the edge devices and heavy,computation-intensive analytics is performed at the cloud.This framework is highly accurate,interpretable,and has real-time application,hence a robust and scalable solution to securing IIoT-CPS infrastructure against dynamic cyber-attacks.
文摘The blockchain-based audiovisual transmission systems were built to create a distributed and flexible smart transport system(STS).This system lets customers,video creators,and service providers directly connect with each other.Blockchain-based STS devices need a lot of computer power to change different video feed quality and forms into different versions and structures that meet the needs of different users.On the other hand,existing blockchains can’t support live streaming because they take too long to process and don’t have enough computer power.Large amounts of video data being sent and analyzed put too much stress on networks for vehicles.A video surveillance method is suggested in this paper to improve the performance of the blockchain system’s data and lower the latency across the multiple access edge computing(MEC)system.The integration of MEC and blockchain for video surveillance in autonomous vehicles(IMEC-BVS)framework has been proposed.To deal with this problem,the joint optimization problem is shown using the actor-critical asynchronous advantage(ACAA)method and deep reinforcement training as a Markov Choice Progression(MCP).Simulation results show that the suggested method quickly converges and improves the performance of MEC and blockchain when used together for video surveillance in self-driving cars compared to other methods.

文摘Non-panoramic virtual reality(VR)provides users with immersive experiences involving strong interactivity,thus attracting growing research and development attention.However,the demand for high bandwidth and low latency in VR services presents greater challenges to existing networks.Inspired by mobile edge computing(MEC),VR users can offload rendering tasks to other devices.The main challenge of task offloading is to minimize latency and energy consumption.Yet,in non-panoramic VR scenarios,it is essential to consider the Quality of Perceptual Experience(QOPE)for users.Simultaneously,one must also take into account the diverse requirements of users in real-world scenarios.Therefore,this paper proposes a QOPE model to measure the visual quality of non-panoramic VR users and models the non-panoramic VR task offloading problem based on MEC as a constrained multi-objective optimization problem(CMOP)that minimizes latency and energy consumption while providing a satisfied QOPE.And we propose an evolutionary algorithm(EA),GNSGA-II,to solve the CMOP.Simulation results show that the algorithm can effectively find various trade-off solutions among the objectives,satisfying the requirements of different users.

文摘An aileron is a crucial control surface for rolling.Any jitter or shaking caused by the aileron mechatronics could have catastrophic consequences for the aircraft’s stability,maneuverability,safety,and lifespan.This paper presents a robust solution in the form of a fast flutter suppression digital control logic of edge computing aileron mechatronics(ECAM).We have effectively eliminated passive and active oscillating response biases by integrating nonlinear functional parameters and an antiphase hysteresis Schmitt trigger.Our findings demonstrate that self-tuning nonlinear parameters can optimize stability,robustness,and accuracy.At the same time,the antiphase hysteresis Schmitt trigger effectively rejects flutters without the need for collaborative navigation and guidance.Our hardware-in-the-loop simulation results confirm that this approach can eliminate aircraft jitter and shaking while ensuring expected stability and maneuverability.In conclusion,this nonlinear aileron mechatronics with a Schmitt positive feedback mechanism is a highly effective solution for distributed flight control and active flutter rejection.
文摘This work proposes an adaptive quantum approximate optimization-based model predictive control(MPC)strategy for energy management in buildings equipped with battery energy storage and renewable energy generation systems.The learning-based parameter transfer scheme to realize adaptive quantum optimization leverages Bayesian optimization to predict initial quantum circuit parameters.When applied to the MPC problems formulated as quadratic unconstrained binary optimization problems,this approach computes optimal controls to minimize the net energy consumption levels in buildings and promotes decarbonization while reducing the computational efforts required for the quantum approximate optimization algorithm as the building energy system trajectory progresses.The energy efficiency and the decarbonization benefits of the proposed quantum optimization-based MPC strategy are demonstrated on buildings at the Cornell University campus.The proposed quantum computing-based technique to address MPC problems in buildings demonstrates energy-efficient and low-carbon building operation with a 6.8% improvement over deterministic MPC and presents opportunities for scaling to larger control problems with a significant reduction in utilized quantum computing resources.A reduction of 41.2% in carbon emissions is also achieved with the proposed control strategy facilitated by efficiently managing battery energy storage and renewable generation sources to promote a push toward carbonneutral building operations.
