Blockchain is a shared distributed ledger that promises tamper-proof secure transactions over the highly available and resilient network involving multiple participants. Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) has revolutionized the blockchain technology. Owing to its optimized validation mechanism, high scalability, efficient provenance, support for IoT and multiparty involvement, DAG is rapidly over-shadowing traditional blockchain architecture. In this paper, we present a comparative analysis of most popular DAG based blockchain architectures including Nxt, IOTA, Orumesh, DagCoin, Byteball, Nano and XDAG. The comparison is based on the functional data structures for maintaining the ledger, consensus algorithms, transaction validation, ledger size, scalability and popularity. Extracting the best features various DAG based blockchains, we move on to outline the best of all worlds DAG-based blockchain architecture.

We developed a 2D convolution object detection network called CLN layer to let a network with a small amount of parameters and have a better detection result as well. Compared to YOLOv2 detector and SSD with lightweight Pvalite network, the proposed Classification and Localization network (CLN) layer has better accuracy and higher recall on the object which is located on the border of image. Additionally, we revise the original open source to make this architecture more platform portable than other architectures. The proposed system is implemented on the embedded platforms with the performance of 640x480@10 fps under nVidia Jetson TX-2 and 480x320@5fps under Renesas R-car H3.

This paper presents a contemporary review of communication architectures and topographies for MANET-connected Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems. Routing protocols for multi-hop MANETs are analyzed with a focus on the standardized Routing Protocol for Low-power and Lossy networks. Various security threats and vulnerabilities in current MANET routing are described and security enhanced routing protocols and trust models presented as methodologies for supporting secure routing. Finally, the paper identifies some key research challenges in the emerging domain of MANET-IoT connectivity.

Cloud-based computing technology is one of the most significant technical advents of the last decade and extension of this facility towards access networks by aggregation of cloudlets is a step further. To fulfill the ravenous demand for computational resources entangled with the stringent latency requirements of computationally-heavy applications related to augmented reality, cognitive assistance and context-aware computation, installation of cloudlets near the access segment is a very promising solution because of its support for wide geographical network distribution, low latency, mobility and heterogeneity. In this paper, we propose a novel framework, Cloudlet Cost OptiMization over PASSIve Optical network (CCOMPASSION), and formulate a nonlinear mixed-integer program to identify optimal cloudlet placement locations such that installation cost is minimized whilst meeting the capacity and latency constraints. Considering urban, suburban and rural scenarios as commonly used network deployment models, we investigate the feasibility of the proposed model over them and provide guidance on the overall cloudlet facility installation over optical access network. We also study the percentage of incremental energy budget in the presence of cloudlets of the existing network. The final results from our proposed model can be considered as fundamental cornerstones for network planning with hybrid cloudlet networkarchitectures.

Recent works in deep learning have been driven broadly by the desire to attain high accuracy on certain challenge problems. The network architecture and other hyper-parameters of many published models are typically chosen by trial-and-error experiments with little considerations paid to resource constraints at deployment time. We propose a fully automated model learning approach that (1) treats architecture selection as part of the learning process, (2) uses a blend of broad-based random sampling and adaptive iterative refinement to explore the solution space, (3) performs optimization subject to given memory and computational constraints imposed by target deployment scenarios, and (4) is scalable and can use only a practically small number of GPUs for training. We present results that show graceful model degradation under strict resource constraints for object classification problems using CIFAR-10 in our experiments. We also discuss future work in further extending the approach.

Deep neural networks have been proven to be very effective in various classification problems and show great promise for emotion recognition from speech. Studies have proposed various architectures that further improve the performance of emotion recognition systems. However, there are still various open questions regarding the best approach to building a speech emotion recognition system. Would the system's performance improve if we have more labeled data? How much do we benefit from data augmentation? What activation and regularization schemes are more beneficial? How does the depth of the network affect the performance? We are collecting the MSP-Podcast corpus, a large dataset with over 30 hours of data, which provides an ideal resource to address these questions. This study explores various dense architectures to predict arousal, valence and dominance scores. We investigate varying the training set size, width, and depth of the network, as well as the activation functions used during training. We also study the effect of data augmentation on the network's performance. We find that bigger training set improves the performance. Batch normalization is crucial to achieving a good performance for deeper networks. We do not observe significant differences in the performance in residual networks compared to dense networks.

Foreign currency exchange plays a vital role for trading of currency in the financial market. Due to its volatile nature, prediction of foreign currency exchange is a challenging task. This paper presents different machine learning techniques like Artificial Neural network (ANN), Recurrent Neural network (RNN) to develop prediction model between Nepalese Rupees against three major currencies Euro, Pound Sterling and US dollar. Recurrent Neural network is a type of neural network that have feedback connections. In this paper, prediction model were based on different RNN architectures, feed forward ANN with back propagation algorithm and then compared the accuracy of each model. Different ANN architecture models like Feed forward neural network, Simple Recurrent Neural network (SRNN), Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) were used. Input parameters were open, low, high and closing prices for each currency. From this study, we have found that LSTM networks provided better results than SRNN and GRU networks.

Analyzing large amounts of traffic at the packet or flow level is an important part of managing and monitoring cloud network infrastructure. Common scenarios that require low-level packet analysis are troubleshooting problems, accounting traffic, and security applications such as intrusion detection systems or firewalls. Moreover, researchers often analyze traffic for scientific purposes. For such low-level traffic analyses, tracking flows is a feature required for both commercial and scientific purposes. However, there is no good shared library available to implement this functionality in an efficient, configurable, and dynamic way that is suitable for real-time analysis. We implement a high-performant generic flow tracker that can track millions of simultaenous flows based on arbitrarily complex definitions of a flow. We make this implementation available as open source in our traffic analysis tool FlowScope. The highly efficient real-time tracking of flows by arbitrarily complex user-defined flow criteria and filters is enabled by just-in-time (JIT) compilation of flow tracking rules. The code and evaluation scripts are available as free and open source at: https://***/emmericp/FlowScope
