The cities in the world are in the process of quick transition toward more smart, automatic, responsive, and flexible societies. The Internet-of-Things (IoT) are expected to improve the intelligence of the cities, promote the interaction between the human and the environment, enhance the reliability, resilience, operational efficiency, and energy efficiency, as well as reduce costs and resource consumption. The development, adoption, and application of IoT technology into smart cities is of huge interest. local authorities have partnered with startups, technology companies, research institutions, and universities to test and deploy IoT across all dimensions of urban life such as smart grid (SG), smart buildings, water management, connected healthcare and patient monitoring, environment/climate monitoring, connected cars, and smart transportation.
In Mobile Social networks (MSNs), people contact each other through mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, while they move freely. The communication takes place on-the-fly by the opportunistic contacts betwe...

Detecting community structures has become very important to help us understand the characteristics of the complex networks. local Fitness Method (LFM) may generate some homeless nodes because of its backtracking step. local Fitness Method Extension (LFMEX) was proposed to improve LFM by adopting a new fitness value of nodes that determines if the neighbor node should be joined into the expanding community. The new fitness value of nodes removes the backtracking step and considers the indirect relationship, direct relationship, exclusive relationship between the node and community. By locally optimizing the fitness function, the raw community partition is got, which may has some near duplicated communities. These duplicated communities reduce the modularity of community partition and need to be merged together. A new community similarity criteria is proposed to evaluate the similarity between two communities from the random graph based probability theory. It considered the difference between real edges and expected edges between communities. The community similarity measure can be used to merge similar communities efficiently and improve the modularity of final community partition. Experiments showed that the method improves modularity performance and normalized mutual information in community detection.

This brief investigates the online solving problem for linear algebraic equation Ax = b by means of the principle of consensus in multi-agent systems, where A ∈ ℝ m×n and b ∈ Rn. To be specific, we choose m autonomous agents and agent i knows only the i-th row of [A b] under a fixed and connected undirected communication topology. Under local interactions, by designing an implicit gradient neural network based algorithm, it is shown that all the agents' states which starting from any different initial conditions can converge exponentially fast to one of the solutions to Ax = b, if the matrix A has full row rank. It is worth noting that the proposed algorithm is fully distributed. In addition, it is shown that the proposed algorithm is effective in obtaining least square solutions for no-solution cases. Finally, computer simulations verify and demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed methods for solving linear algebraic equations.

Mobile edge computing (MEC) has been an emerging paradigm to support low-latency applications in vehicular networks by offloading resources at network edge. However, it is still challenging to apply MEC-based architecture to implement multimedia services due to varying wireless communication, high vehicle mobility and heterogeneous resource integration. In this paper, we investigate adaptive-bitrate (ABR)-based multimedia services (MS) in MEC-based vehicular networks, where each multimedia file is divided into multiple chunks and can be requested at different bitrate levels. Further, MEC servers can satisfy local vehicular requests by integrating heterogeneous cache and communication resources. Based on the above observation, we formulate joint resource optimization (JSO) problem by synthesizing cache placement, wireless bandwidth allocation and chunk quality adaptation. On this basis, we propose a reinforcement-learning-based cache placement (RLCP) algorithm, which determines the optimal offloaded chunks by learning the global knowledge of cache reward in an iterative way. Further, we design an adaptive-quality-based chunk selection (AQCS) algorithm, which can be adaptive to time-varying wireless channel by dynamically adjusting bandwidth allocation and quality level based on real-time service workload. Lastly, we build the simulation model and conduct an extensive performance evaluation, which demonstrates the superiority of proposed algorithms.

Compressed Imaging is a framework for image signal acquisition and reconstruction based on Compressed Sensing theory. Existing reconstruction algorithms in compressed imaging are optimization problem solvers based on specific prior constraints. The computation burdens of these optimization algorithms are enormous and the solutions are usually local optimums. It is also inconvenient to deploy these algorithms on cloud. In this paper, we propose a novel distributed reconstruction algorithm based on the sparse random projection, which enables efficient reconstruction on cloud. We first build the projection matrix according to the sampling procedure and propose the sparse random projection (SRP) reconstruction algorithm. Then we derive ways to accelerate SRP algorithm. We finally generalize the SRP to a distributed version called Cloud-SRP(CSRP). Experiments on real ghost imaging reconstruction reveal that our algorithm is effective.

The rise of big data processing and storage bring new challenges for privacy protection. More data, especially personal information, being hosted online such as in cloud, which is out of control. In this paper, we propose an edge-based model for big data processing, taking sensor-cloud data as an example, in which the raw data from wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is differentially processed by algorithms on edge servers. A small quantity of core data is stored on edge and local servers while the rest is transmitted to cloud for storage. In this way, the benefits are twofold. First, the data privacy is preserved since the original data cannot be retrieved even if the data stored in cloud is leaked. Second, implemented by a differential storage method, compared to the state of the art, the edge-based model sends less data to the cloud and reduces the cost of communication and storage. Both theoretical analyses and extensive experiments validate our proposed method.

Geometric 3D scene classification is a very challenging task. Current methodologies extract the geometric information using only a depth channel provided by an RGB-D sensor. These kinds of methodologies introduce possible errors due to missing local geometric context in the depth channel. This work proposes a novel Residual Attention Graph Convolutional Network that exploits the intrinsic geometric context inside a 3D space without using any kind of point features, allowing the use of organized or unorganized 3D data. Experiments are done in NYU Depth v1 and SUN-RGBD datasets to study the different configurations and to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms current state-of-the-art in geometric 3D scene classification tasks.
