Modern telco networks have experienced a significant paradigm shift in the past decade, thanks to the proliferation of network softwarization. Despite the benefits of softwarized networks, the constituent software data planes cannot always guarantee predictable performance due to resource contentions in the underlying shared infrastructure. performance predictions are thus paramount for network operators to fulfill Service-Level Agreements (SLAs), especially in high-speed regimes (e.g., Gigabit or Terabit Ethernet). Existing solutions heavily rely on in-band feature collection, which imposes non-trivial engineering and data-path overhead. This paper proposes a non-invasive performance prediction approach, which complements state-of-the-art solutions by measuring and analyzing low-level features ubiquitously available in the network infrastructure. Accessing these features does not hamper the packet data path. Our approach does not rely on prior knowledge of the input traffic, VNFs' internals, and system details. We show that (i) low-level hardware features exposed by the NFV infrastructure can be collected and interpreted for performance issues, (ii) predictive models can be derived with classical ML algorithms, (iii) and can be used to predict performance impairments in real NFV systems accurately. Our code and datasets are publicly available (1).

As industrial controlsystems become more prevalent, cybersecurity concerns have gained significant attention. Mimic defense technology, serving as an effective security measure, combats network threats by continuously switching between functionally identical entities. However, current mimic controlsystems still have various shortcomings in executor design and judgment techniques, such as fixed heterogeneous executors and inefficient arbitration processes. In response to these challenges, this study introduces a component-based architecture for mimic controlsystems, enabling dynamic executor generation through modularized communication while minimizing system invasiveness. Additionally, a multi-level 2-mode judgment algorithm is designed, consider both real-time performance and security requirements, dynamically balancing decision efficiency and result reliability. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach not only enhances the decision efficiency of mimic industrial controlsystems but also improves the judgment efficiency of mimic systems.

The tracking performance and line-of-sight stabilization of electro-optical stabilized servo tracking systems are often affected by various disturbances and uncertainties. To address the problems, a robust motion control scheme is developed. The control strategy effectively amalgamates sliding mode control (SMC), extended state observer (ESO), and adaptive radial basis function (RBF) neural network. Specifically, an ESO is constructed to estimate unknown disturbances and uncertainties in the system. An RBF neural network is employed to correct the estimation accuracy of ESO for time-varying disturbances. Furthermore, the sliding model control strategy is combined with ESO and RBF neural network to mitigate the impact of multi-source disturbances and uncertainties on control precision. The asymptotic stability of the system is demonstrated through Lyapunov theory and LaSalle invariance principle. Finally, simulations are implemented to illustrate the superiority and effectiveness of the proposed control method compared to the traditional SMC-ESO method.

This paper proposes a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) method for path tracking control of autonomous vehicles under network-induced delays while taking into account the roll dynamics to improve both the driving safety and the passenger comfort. The steering control is directly applied to the front wheels, while the anti-roll moment is exerted by an active suspension. The asynchronous phenomenon caused by the sampling process and the time-varying vehicle speed are explicitly taken into account in the control design using a polytopic linear parameter-varying (LPV) control approach. Moreover, to avoid using costly vehicle sensors and complex control structures, a static output feedback (SOF) control scheme is considered. An effective event-triggering mechanism is also proposed to alleviate the communication burden of the vehicle networked control system. Based on augmented Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, the control design conditions are derived to guarantee the vehicle closed-loop stability under the effects of transmission delays, event-triggered control signals and time-varying parameters. The design procedure is reformulated as an iterative optimization problem involving linear matrix inequality (LMI) constraints, which can be effectively solved with available numerical solvers. The proposed event-triggered SOF controller is evaluated with the vehicle dynamics simulation software CarSim under several dynamic scenarios. A comparative study with related vehicle control results is performance to emphasize the effectiveness of the control method in terms of path tracking performance, driving safety and comfort, and data communication efficiency of the vehicle networked control system.

Modern GPUs have integrated multilevel cache hierarchy to provide high bandwidth and mitigate the memory wall problem. However, the benefit of on-chip cache is far from achieving optimal performance. In this article, we investigate existing cache architecture and find that the cache utilization is imbalanced and there exists serious data duplication among L1 cache *** order to exploit the duplicate data, we propose an intergroup cache cooperation (ICC) method to establish the cooperation across L1 cache groups. According the cooperation scope, we design two schemes of the adjacent cache cooperation (ICC-AGC) and the multiple cache cooperation (ICC-MGC). In ICC-AGC, we design an adjacent cooperative directory table to realize the perception of duplicate data and integrate a lightweight network for communication. In ICC-MGC, a ring bi-directional network is designed to realize the connection among multiple groups. And we present a two-way sending mechanism and a dynamic sending mechanism to balance the overhead and efficiency involved in request probing and *** results show that the proposed two ICC methods can reduce the average traffic to L2 cache by 10% and 20%, respectively, and improve overall GPU performance by 19% and 49% on average, respectively, compared with the existing work.

Quadruped robots can perform various tasks across diverse terrains but face limitations due to the difficulty of interacting with environments. Adding manipulation capabilities allows these robots to handle more complex and varied tasks. However, designing a controller for legged manipulation is challenging due to the high degrees of freedom and model complexities, especially in challenging terrains. To address these issues, we present DreamTEAM, a novel framework for robust whole-body control in legged manipulation through learned terrain estimation. Utilizing deep reinforcement learning, DreamTEAM integrates an asymmetric actor-critic structure with a unified policy for both locomotion and manipulation, enabling quadruped robots to operate effectively using only proprioceptive sensors. Key features include a terrain estimator network that accurately estimates frontal terrain heights and an adaptive reward curriculum encouraging the robot to tackle more difficult manipulation tasks without compromising locomotion performance. The proposed method, DreamTEAM, validated its robustness and legged manipulation performance compared with other state-of-the-art methods through simulation experiments. Ablation studies highlight the importance of each module in the framework, showing how they contribute to overall stability and adaptability. This framework represents a substantial advancement in locomotion and manipulation, enhancing performance in challenging environments.
