Abstract The future of driving is autonomous. It requires a comprehensive stack embedded software components, enabled by open-source and proprietary platforms at different abstraction layers, then operating within larger ecosystem. Autonomous demands connectivity, cooperation automation to form the cornerstone autonomous mobility solutions. Platform economy principles have revolutionized way we produce, deliver consume products services worldwide. More more businesses in field transport...

Attack graphs show possible paths that an attacker can use to intrude into a target network and gain privileges through series of vulnerability exploits. The computation attack suffers from the state explosion problem occurring most notably when number vulnerabilities in grows large. Parallel be utilized attenuate this problem. When employed online security evaluation, triggered with correlated intrusion alerts received sensors scattered throughout network. In such cases, distributed becomes...

In this paper we define a new metric for quantifying the degree of anonymity collectively afforded to users an anonymous communication system. We show how our metric, based on permanent matrix, can be useful in evaluating amount information needed by observer reveal pattern as whole. also model extended include probabilistic learned attacker about possible sender-recipient relationships. Our work is intended serve complementary tool existing information-theoretic metrics, which typically...

We propose an architecture as a robot»s decision-making mechanism to anticipate human»s state of mind, and so plan accordingly during human-robot collaboration task. At the core lies novel stochastic that implements partially observable Markov decision process anticipating mind in two-stages. In first stage it anticipates task related availability, intent (motivation), capability collaboration. second, further reasons about these states true need for help. Our contribution ability our model...

A limitation for collaborative robots (cobots) is their lack of ability to adapt human partners, who typically exhibit an immense diversity behaviors. We present autonomous framework as a cobot's real-time decision-making mechanism anticipate variety characteristics and behaviors, including errors, toward personalized collaboration. Our handles such behaviors in two levels: 1) short-term are adapted through our novel Anticipatory Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (A-POMDP) models,...

Power system frequency plays a pivotal role in ensuring the security, adequacy, and integrity of power system. While some response services are automatically delivered to maintain within stipulated limits, certain cases may require that operators (SOs) manually intervene-against clock-to take necessary preventive or corrective actions. As such, SOs can be greatly aided by practical tools afford them greater temporal leeway. To this end, we propose methodology forecast subsequent minute. We...

This paper presents a comprehensive study on generating subjective inquiries for news media posts to empower public engagement with trending topics. While previous studies primarily focused factual and objective questions explicit or implicit answers in the text, this research concentrates automatically directly elicit personal preference from individuals based given text. The methodology involves application of fine-tuning techniques across multiple iterations flan-T5 GPT3 architectures...

The current trend in wireless communication networks involves the integration of different access technologies into a single operator network. possible leveraging high deployment costs, and possibility to increase revenue have also introduced concept network sharing between operators. problem optimal allocation bandwidth multimedia applications over networks, is augmented with using other operators who are willing share bandwidth.We formulate within distribution excess among as cooperative...

The widespread use of heterogeneous wireless technologies and their integration with multi-mode terminals enable users get associated to the best available networks according user preferences application specific requirements.

Connecting a massive number of sensors and actuators with energy transmission constraints is only possible by providing reliable connection despite the increase in data traffic due to Internet Things, guaranteeing maximum end-to-end delay for applications real-time constraints. Next generation network architectures need satisfy these two requirements while connecting IoT sources producing at scales cloud resources that provide capability process store this data. For reason, realization next...

While multi-agent frameworks can provide many advanced features, they often suffer from not being able to seamlessly interact with the outside world, e.g., web-services or other frameworks. This may be one factor that hinders a broader application of systems in production systems. A possible solution this problem is combination concepts micro-services and containerization, providing language-agnostic open interfaces, as well encapsulation modularity. In paper, we propose an API reference...
