Herbert Simon suggested that we are ＂bounded rational＂. However, it is very difficult to quantify ＂bounded rationality＂, and therefore it is difficult to pinpoint its impact to all those economic theories that depend on the assumption of full rationality. Ariel Rubinstein proposed to model bounded rationality by explicitly specifying the decision makers＇ decision-making procedures. This paper takes a computational point of view to Rubinstein＇s approach. From a computational point of view, decision procedures can be encoded in algorithms and heuristics. We argue that, everything else being equal, the effective rationality of an agent is determined by its computational power - we refer to this as the computational intelligence determines effective rationality （CIDER） theory. This is not an attempt to propose a unifying definition of bounded rationality. It is merely a proposal of a computational point of view of bounded rationality. This way of interpreting bounded rationality enables us to （computationally） reason about economic systems when the full rationality assumption is relaxed.展开更多

After these devices are plugged into a network, they initially advertise their presence and capabilities in the form of services so that they can be discovered and, if desired, exploited by the user or other networked devices. With the increasing number of these devices attached to the network, the complexity to configure and control them increases, which may lead to major processing and communication overhead. Hence, the devices are no longer expected to just act as primitive stand-alone appliances that only provide the facilities and services to the user they are designed for, but also offer complex services that emerge from unique combinations of devices. This creates the necessity for these devices to be equipped with some sort of intelligence and self-awareness to enable them to be self-configuring and self-programming. However, with this ＂smart evolution＂, the cognitive load to configure and control such spaces becomes immense. One way to relieve this load is by employing artificial intelligence （AI） techniques to create an intelligent ＂presence＂ where the system will be able to recognize the users and autonomously program the environment to be energy efficient and responsive to the user＇s needs and behaviours. These AI mechanisms should be embedded in the user＇s environments and should operate in a non-intrusive manner. This paper will show how computational intelligence （CI）, which is an emerging domain of AI, could be employed and embedded in our living spaces to help such environments to be more energy efficient, intelligent, adaptive and convenient to the users.展开更多

The aircraft noise problem is firstly reviewed in this article. The review is followed by a description and assessment of a number of sound propagation methods suitable for applications with a background mean flow field pertinent to aircraft noise. Of the three main areas of the noise problem, i.e. generation, propagation, and ra- diation, propagation provides a vital link between near-field noise generation and far-field radiation. Its accurate assessment ensures the overall validity of a prediction model. Of the various classes of propagation equations, linearised Euler equations are often casted in either time domain or frequency domain. The equations are often solved numerically by computational aeroacoustics techniques, bur are subject to the onset of Kelvin-Helmholtz （K-H） instability modes which may ruin the solutions. Other forms of linearised equations, e.g. acoustic perturbation equations have been proposed, with differing degrees of success.展开更多

Accordingly, some preliminary results have been obtained that pressure loss increases with porosity descent as nearly a hyperbolic trend, rising flow velocity of the input makes the pressure loss increasing with parabola trend, diameter of holes affects little about pressure loss of the muffler. Otherwise, the holes on the perforated pipes make the air flow gently and meanly, which decreases the air impact to the wall and pipes in the muffler. A practical perforated muffler is used to illustrate the available of this method for pressure loss computation, and the comparison shows that the computation results with the method of CFD has reference value for muffler design.展开更多

文摘To support the explosive growth of Information and Communications Technology(ICT),Mobile Edge Comput-ing(MEC)provides users with low latency and high bandwidth service by offloading computational tasks to the network’s edge.However,resource-constrained mobile devices still suffer from a capacity mismatch when faced with latency-sensitive and compute-intensive emerging applications.To address the difficulty of running computationally intensive applications on resource-constrained clients,a model of the computation offloading problem in a network consisting of multiple mobile users and edge cloud servers is studied in this paper.Then a user benefit function EoU(Experience of Users)is proposed jointly considering energy consumption and time delay.The EoU maximization problem is decomposed into two steps,i.e.,resource allocation and offloading decision.The offloading decision is usually given by heuristic algorithms which are often faced with the challenge of slow convergence and poor stability.Thus,a combined offloading algorithm,i.e.,a Gini coefficient-based adaptive genetic algorithm(GCAGA),is proposed to alleviate the dilemma.The proposed algorithm optimizes the offloading decision by maximizing EoU and accelerates the convergence with the Gini coefficient.The simulation compares the proposed algorithm with the genetic algorithm(GA)and adaptive genetic algorithm(AGA).Experiment results show that the Gini coefficient and the adaptive heuristic operators can accelerate the convergence speed,and the proposed algorithm performs better in terms of convergence while obtaining higher EoU.The simulation code of the proposed algorithm is available:https://github.com/Grox888/Mobile_Edge_Computing/tree/GCAGA.
文摘Due to the recent developments in communications technology,cognitive computations have been used in smart healthcare techniques that can combine massive medical data,artificial intelligence,federated learning,bio-inspired computation,and the Internet of Medical Things.It has helped in knowledge sharing and scaling ability between patients,doctors,and clinics for effective treatment of patients.Speech-based respiratory disease detection and monitoring are crucial in this direction and have shown several promising results.Since the subject’s speech can be remotely recorded and submitted for further examination,it offers a quick,economical,dependable,and noninvasive prospective alternative detection approach.However,the two main requirements of this are higher accuracy and lower computational complexity and,in many cases,these two requirements do not correlate with each other.This problem has been taken up in this paper to develop a low computational complexity-based neural network with higher accuracy.A cascaded perceptual functional link artificial neural network(PFLANN)is used to capture the nonlinearity in the data for better classification performance with low computational complexity.The proposed model is being tested for multiple respiratory diseases,and the analysis of various performance matrices demonstrates the superior performance of the proposed model both in terms of accuracy and complexity.
文摘The rapid development of Internet of Things(IoT)technology has led to a significant increase in the computational task load of Terminal Devices(TDs).TDs reduce response latency and energy consumption with the support of task-offloading in Multi-access Edge Computing(MEC).However,existing task-offloading optimization methods typically assume that MEC’s computing resources are unlimited,and there is a lack of research on the optimization of task-offloading when MEC resources are exhausted.In addition,existing solutions only decide whether to accept the offloaded task request based on the single decision result of the current time slot,but lack support for multiple retry in subsequent time slots.It is resulting in TD missing potential offloading opportunities in the future.To fill this gap,we propose a Two-Stage Offloading Decision-making Framework(TSODF)with request holding and dynamic eviction.Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)-based task-offloading request prediction and MEC resource release estimation are integrated to infer the probability of a request being accepted in the subsequent time slot.The framework learns optimized decision-making experiences continuously to increase the success rate of task offloading based on deep learning technology.Simulation results show that TSODF reduces total TD’s energy consumption and delay for task execution and improves task offloading rate and system resource utilization compared to the benchmark method.

文摘Phishing attacks present a serious threat to enterprise systems,requiring advanced detection techniques to protect sensitive data.This study introduces a phishing email detection framework that combines Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers(BERT)for feature extraction and CNN for classification,specifically designed for enterprise information systems.BERT’s linguistic capabilities are used to extract key features from email content,which are then processed by a convolutional neural network(CNN)model optimized for phishing detection.Achieving an accuracy of 97.5%,our proposed model demonstrates strong proficiency in identifying phishing emails.This approach represents a significant advancement in applying deep learning to cybersecurity,setting a new benchmark for email security by effectively addressing the increasing complexity of phishing attacks.
文摘Rationality is a fundamental concept in economics. Most researchers will accept that human beings are not fully rational. Herbert Simon suggested that we are ＂bounded rational＂. However, it is very difficult to quantify ＂bounded rationality＂, and therefore it is difficult to pinpoint its impact to all those economic theories that depend on the assumption of full rationality. Ariel Rubinstein proposed to model bounded rationality by explicitly specifying the decision makers＇ decision-making procedures. This paper takes a computational point of view to Rubinstein＇s approach. From a computational point of view, decision procedures can be encoded in algorithms and heuristics. We argue that, everything else being equal, the effective rationality of an agent is determined by its computational power - we refer to this as the computational intelligence determines effective rationality （CIDER） theory. This is not an attempt to propose a unifying definition of bounded rationality. It is merely a proposal of a computational point of view of bounded rationality. This way of interpreting bounded rationality enables us to （computationally） reason about economic systems when the full rationality assumption is relaxed.

文摘Large-scale multi-objective optimization problems(MOPs)that involve a large number of decision variables,have emerged from many real-world applications.While evolutionary algorithms(EAs)have been widely acknowledged as a mainstream method for MOPs,most research progress and successful applications of EAs have been restricted to MOPs with small-scale decision variables.More recently,it has been reported that traditional multi-objective EAs(MOEAs)suffer severe deterioration with the increase of decision variables.As a result,and motivated by the emergence of real-world large-scale MOPs,investigation of MOEAs in this aspect has attracted much more attention in the past decade.This paper reviews the progress of evolutionary computation for large-scale multi-objective optimization from two angles.From the key difficulties of the large-scale MOPs,the scalability analysis is discussed by focusing on the performance of existing MOEAs and the challenges induced by the increase of the number of decision variables.From the perspective of methodology,the large-scale MOEAs are categorized into three classes and introduced respectively:divide and conquer based,dimensionality reduction based and enhanced search-based approaches.Several future research directions are also discussed.
文摘Our living environments are being gradually occupied with an abundant number of digital objects that have networking and computing capabilities. After these devices are plugged into a network, they initially advertise their presence and capabilities in the form of services so that they can be discovered and, if desired, exploited by the user or other networked devices. With the increasing number of these devices attached to the network, the complexity to configure and control them increases, which may lead to major processing and communication overhead. Hence, the devices are no longer expected to just act as primitive stand-alone appliances that only provide the facilities and services to the user they are designed for, but also offer complex services that emerge from unique combinations of devices. This creates the necessity for these devices to be equipped with some sort of intelligence and self-awareness to enable them to be self-configuring and self-programming. However, with this ＂smart evolution＂, the cognitive load to configure and control such spaces becomes immense. One way to relieve this load is by employing artificial intelligence （AI） techniques to create an intelligent ＂presence＂ where the system will be able to recognize the users and autonomously program the environment to be energy efficient and responsive to the user＇s needs and behaviours. These AI mechanisms should be embedded in the user＇s environments and should operate in a non-intrusive manner. This paper will show how computational intelligence （CI）, which is an emerging domain of AI, could be employed and embedded in our living spaces to help such environments to be more energy efficient, intelligent, adaptive and convenient to the users.

文摘The cloud radio access network(C-RAN) and the fog computing have been recently proposed to tackle the dramatically increasing traffic demands and to provide better quality of service(QoS) to user equipment(UE).Considering the better computation capability of the cloud RAN(10 times larger than that of the fog RAN) and the lower transmission delay of the fog computing,we propose a joint resource allocation and coordinated computation offloading algorithm for the fog RAN(F-RAN),which takes the advantage of C-RAN and fog computing.Specifically,the F-RAN splits a computation task into the fog computing part and the cloud computing part.Based on the constraints of maximum transmission delay tolerance,fronthaul and backhaul capacity limits,we minimize the energy cost and obtain optimal computational resource allocation for multiple UE,transmission power allocation of each UE and the event splitting factor.Numerical results have been proposed with the comparison of existing methods.
文摘Noise generated by civil transport aircraft during take-off and approach-to-land phases of operation is an environmental problem. The aircraft noise problem is firstly reviewed in this article. The review is followed by a description and assessment of a number of sound propagation methods suitable for applications with a background mean flow field pertinent to aircraft noise. Of the three main areas of the noise problem, i.e. generation, propagation, and ra- diation, propagation provides a vital link between near-field noise generation and far-field radiation. Its accurate assessment ensures the overall validity of a prediction model. Of the various classes of propagation equations, linearised Euler equations are often casted in either time domain or frequency domain. The equations are often solved numerically by computational aeroacoustics techniques, bur are subject to the onset of Kelvin-Helmholtz （K-H） instability modes which may ruin the solutions. Other forms of linearised equations, e.g. acoustic perturbation equations have been proposed, with differing degrees of success.
文摘Ca^2＋ dysregulation is an early event observed in Alzheimer＇s disease（AD） patients preceding the presence of its clinical symptoms.Dysregulation of neuronalCa^2＋ will cause synaptic loss and neuronal death,eventually leading to memory impairments and cognitive decline.Treatments targetingCa^2＋ signaling pathways are potential therapeutic strategies against AD.The complicated interactions make it challenging and expensive to study the underlying mechanisms as to how Ca^2＋ signaling contributes to the pathogenesis of AD.Computational modeling offers new opportunities to study the signaling pathway and test proposed mechanisms.In this mini-review,we present some computational approaches that have been used to study Ca^2＋ dysregulation of AD by simulating Ca^2＋signaling at various levels.We also pointed out the future directions that computational modeling can be done in studying the Ca^2＋ dysregulation in AD.
文摘The pressure loss of cross-flow perforated of physical modeling, simulation and data processing. muffler has been computed with the procedure Three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics （CFD） has been used to investigate the relations of porosities, flow velocity and diameter of the holes with the pressure loss. Accordingly, some preliminary results have been obtained that pressure loss increases with porosity descent as nearly a hyperbolic trend, rising flow velocity of the input makes the pressure loss increasing with parabola trend, diameter of holes affects little about pressure loss of the muffler. Otherwise, the holes on the perforated pipes make the air flow gently and meanly, which decreases the air impact to the wall and pipes in the muffler. A practical perforated muffler is used to illustrate the available of this method for pressure loss computation, and the comparison shows that the computation results with the method of CFD has reference value for muffler design.
