At present, the interoperability between battlefield environment simulation system and command and control system is still imperfect, and the traditional simulation data model cannot meet war fighters’ high-efficient and accurate understanding and analysis on battlefield environment’s information. Therefore, a kind of task-orientated battlefield environment simulation process model needs to be construed to effectively analyze the key information demands of the command and control system. The structured characteristics of tasks and simulation process are analyzed, and the simulation process concept model is constructed with the method of object-orientated. The data model and formal syntax of GeoBML are analyzed, and the logical model of simulation process is constructed with formal language. The object data structure of simulation process is defined and the object model of simulation process which maps tasks is constructed. In the end, the battlefield environment simulation platform modules are designed and applied based on this model, verifying that the model can effectively express the real-time dynamic correlation between battlefield environment simulation data and operational tasks.展开更多

To reduce latency and energy consumption of edge computing, deep learning is used to learn the task offloading strategies by interacting with the entities. In actual application scenarios, users of edge computing are always changing dynamically. However, the existing task offloading strategies cannot be applied to such dynamic scenarios. To solve this problem, we propose a novel dynamic task offloading framework for distributed edge computing, leveraging the potential of meta-reinforcement learning (MRL). Our approach formulates a multi-objective optimization problem aimed at minimizing both delay and energy consumption. We model the task offloading strategy using a directed acyclic graph (DAG). Furthermore, we propose a distributed edge computing adaptive task offloading algorithm rooted in MRL. This algorithm integrates multiple Markov decision processes (MDP) with a sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) network, enabling it to learn and adapt task offloading strategies responsively across diverse network environments. To achieve joint optimization of delay and energy consumption, we incorporate the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) into our framework. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed solution, achieving a 21% reduction in time delay and a 19% decrease in energy consumption compared to alternative task offloading schemes. Moreover, our scheme exhibits remarkable adaptability, responding swiftly to changes in various network environments.展开更多

文摘This paper focuses on the problem of multi-station multi-robot spot welding task assignment,and proposes a deep reinforcement learning(DRL)framework,which is made up of a public graph attention network and independent policy networks.The graph of welding spots distribution is encoded using the graph attention network.Independent policy networks with attention mechanism as a decoder can handle the encoded graph and decide to assign robots to different tasks.The policy network is used to convert the large scale welding spots allocation problem to multiple small scale singlerobot welding path planning problems,and the path planning problem is quickly solved through existing methods.Then,the model is trained through reinforcement learning.In addition,the task balancing method is used to allocate tasks to multiple stations.The proposed algorithm is compared with classical algorithms,and the results show that the algorithm based on DRL can produce higher quality solutions.

文摘Methane(CH4),the predominant component of natural gas and shale gas,is regarded as a promising carbon feedstock for chemical synthesis[1].However,considering the extreme stability of CH4 molecules,it's quite challenging in simultaneously achieving high activity and selectivity for target products under mild conditions,especially when synthesizing high-value C2t chemicals such as ethanol[2].The conversion of methane to ethanol by photocatalysis is promising for achieving transformation under ambient temperature and pressure conditions.Currently,the apparent quantum efficiency(AQE)of solar-driven methane-to-ethanol conversion is generally below 0.5%[3,4].Furthermore,the stability of photocatalysts remains inadequate,offering substantial potential for further improvement.

文摘Recently,one of the main challenges facing the smart grid is insufficient computing resources and intermittent energy supply for various distributed components(such as monitoring systems for renewable energy power stations).To solve the problem,we propose an energy harvesting based task scheduling and resource management framework to provide robust and low-cost edge computing services for smart grid.First,we formulate an energy consumption minimization problem with regard to task offloading,time switching,and resource allocation for mobile devices,which can be decoupled and transformed into a typical knapsack problem.Then,solutions are derived by two different algorithms.Furthermore,we deploy renewable energy and energy storage units at edge servers to tackle intermittency and instability problems.Finally,we design an energy management algorithm based on sampling average approximation for edge computing servers to derive the optimal charging/discharging strategies,number of energy storage units,and renewable energy utilization.The simulation results show the efficiency and superiority of our proposed framework.
文摘With the rapid expansion of social media,analyzing emotions and their causes in texts has gained significant importance.Emotion-cause pair extraction enables the identification of causal relationships between emotions and their triggers within a text,facilitating a deeper understanding of expressed sentiments and their underlying reasons.This comprehension is crucial for making informed strategic decisions in various business and societal contexts.However,recent research approaches employing multi-task learning frameworks for modeling often face challenges such as the inability to simultaneouslymodel extracted features and their interactions,or inconsistencies in label prediction between emotion-cause pair extraction and independent assistant tasks like emotion and cause extraction.To address these issues,this study proposes an emotion-cause pair extraction methodology that incorporates joint feature encoding and task alignment mechanisms.The model consists of two primary components:First,joint feature encoding simultaneously generates features for emotion-cause pairs and clauses,enhancing feature interactions between emotion clauses,cause clauses,and emotion-cause pairs.Second,the task alignment technique is applied to reduce the labeling distance between emotion-cause pair extraction and the two assistant tasks,capturing deep semantic information interactions among tasks.The proposed method is evaluated on a Chinese benchmark corpus using 10-fold cross-validation,assessing key performance metrics such as precision,recall,and F1 score.Experimental results demonstrate that the model achieves an F1 score of 76.05%,surpassing the state-of-the-art by 1.03%.The proposed model exhibits significant improvements in emotion-cause pair extraction(ECPE)and cause extraction(CE)compared to existing methods,validating its effectiveness.This research introduces a novel approach based on joint feature encoding and task alignment mechanisms,contributing to advancements in emotion-cause pair extraction.However,the study’s limitation lies in the data sources,potentially restricting the generalizability of the findings.

文摘The conventional Kibble–Zurek mechanism,describing driven dynamics across critical points based on the adiabatic-impulse scenario(AIS),has attracted broad attention.However,the driven dynamics at the tricritical point with two independent relevant directions have not been adequately studied.Here,we employ the time-dependent variational principle to study the driven critical dynamics at a one-dimensional supersymmetric Ising tricritical point.For the relevant direction along the Ising critical line,the AIS apparently breaks down.Nevertheless,we find that the critical dynamics can still be described by finite-time scaling in which the driving rate has a dimension of r_(μ)=z+1/v_(μ)with z and v_(μ)being the dynamic exponent and correlation length exponent in this direction,respectively.For driven dynamics along another direction,the driving rate has a dimension of r_(p)=z+1/v_(p)with v_(p)being another correlation length exponent.Our work brings a new fundamental perspective into nonequilibrium critical dynamics near the tricritical point,which could be realized in programmable quantum processors in Rydberg atomic systems.

文摘As the number of distributed power supplies increases on the user side,smart grids are becoming larger and more complex.These changes bring new security challenges,especially with the widespread adop-tion of data-driven control methods.This paper introduces a novel black-box false data injection attack(FDIA)method that exploits the measurement modules of distributed power supplies within smart grids,highlighting its effectiveness in bypassing conventional security measures.Unlike traditional methods that focus on data manipulation within communication networks,this approach directly injects false data at the point of measurement,using a generative adversarial network(GAN)to generate stealthy attack vectors.This method requires no detailed knowledge of the target system,making it practical for real-world attacks.The attack’s impact on power system stability is demonstrated through experiments,high-lighting the significant cybersecurity risks introduced by data-driven algorithms in smart grids.

文摘Blockchain technology,based on decentralized data storage and distributed consensus design,has become a promising solution to address data security risks and provide privacy protection in the Internet-of-Things(IoT)due to its tamper-proof and non-repudiation features.Although blockchain typically does not require the endorsement of third-party trust organizations,it mostly needs to perform necessary mathematical calculations to prevent malicious attacks,which results in stricter requirements for computation resources on the participating devices.By offloading the computation tasks required to support blockchain consensus to edge service nodes or the cloud,while providing data privacy protection for IoT applications,it can effectively address the limitations of computation and energy resources in IoT devices.However,how to make reasonable offloading decisions for IoT devices remains an open issue.Due to the excellent self-learning ability of Reinforcement Learning(RL),this paper proposes a RL enabled Swarm Intelligence Optimization Algorithm(RLSIOA)that aims to improve the quality of initial solutions and achieve efficient optimization of computation task offloading decisions.The algorithm considers various factors that may affect the revenue obtained by IoT devices executing consensus algorithms(e.g.,Proof-of-Work),it optimizes the proportion of sub-tasks to be offloaded and the scale of computing resources to be rented from the edge and cloud to maximize the revenue of devices.Experimental results show that RLSIOA can obtain higher-quality offloading decision-making schemes at lower latency costs compared to representative benchmark algorithms.
