Dynamical systems consisting of a set of autonomous agents face the challenge of having to accomplish a global task, relying only on local information. While centralized controllers are readily available, they face limitations in terms of scalability and implementation, as they do not respect the distributed information structure imposed by the network system of agents. Given the difficulties in finding optimal decentralized controllers, we propose a novel framework using graph neuralnetworks (GNNs) to learn these controllers. GNNs are well-suited for the task since they are naturally distributed architectures and exhibit good scalability and transferability properties. We show that GNNs learn appropriate decentralized controllers by means of imitation learning, leverage their permutation invariance properties to successfully scale to larger teams and transfer to unseen scenarios at deployment time. The problems of flocking and multi-agent path planning are explored to illustrate the potential of GNNs in learning decentralized controllers.

A kernel interpolation method for the acoustic transfer function (ATF) between regions constrained by the physics of sound while being adaptive to the data is proposed. Most ATF interpolation methods aim to model the ATF for fixed source by using techniques that fit the estimation to the measurements while not taking the physics of the problem into consideration. We aim to interpolate the ATF for a region-to-region estimation, meaning we account for variation of both source and receiver positions. By using a very general formulation for the reproducing kernel function, we have created a kernel function that considers both directed and residual fields as two separate kernel functions. The directed field kernel considers a sparse selection of reflective field components with large amplitudes and is formulated as a combination of directional kernels. The residual field is composed of the remaining densely distributed components with lower amplitudes. Its kernel weight is represented by a universal approximator, a neuralnetwork, in order to learn patterns from the data freely. These kernel parameters are learned using Bayesian inference both under the assumption of Gaussian priors and by using a Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation method to perform inference in a more directed manner. We compare all established kernel formulations with each other in numerical simulations, showing that the proposed kernel model is capable of properly representing the complexities of the ATF.

Accurate precipitation predictions are crucial for addressing climate change impacts on water resources, especially in arid regions like Oman. Therefore, this study evaluates three machine learning models-Random Forest (RF), Multilayer Perceptron neuralnetworks (MLP-ANN), and Kolmogorov-Arnold neuralnetworks (KANNs)- to downscale and predict precipitation patterns under climate scenarios SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, and SSP5-8.5. We assessed each model's ability to reproduce past trends and predict future precipitation using historical data from 1995 to 2014 and projections from 2020 to 2099. The KANN model demonstrated exceptional proficiency in forecasting extreme precipitation occurrences, especially in the most severe scenario (SSP5-8.5). The MLP-ANN model offered a balanced methodology, yielding dependable forecasts that are adaptive to fluctuating situations, even amongst small increases in precipitation and uncertainty. The RF model generated the most reliable forecasts, suggesting small increases in future precipitation while closely correlating with historical data. The study indicates distinct seasonal patterns, with peak precipitation occurring during the monsoon season from June to August. The RF model predicted more intense and uniformly distributed precipitation during this period, demonstrating its advanced data processing capabilities. The geographical patterns predicted by each model exhibited temporal stability, highlighting their consistent reliability, which is essential for precise climate predictions. This comparative research highlights the significance of choosing a suitable machine learning model according to distinct forecasting requirements. Effective downscaling methodologies are essential for informed water resources management, particularly in areas susceptible to cyclones and water shortages. These results provide essential direction for policymakers to improve climate resilience, optimize water infrastructure, and formulate adaptation measur

Industrial Internet of Things (I-IoT) has become an emerging driver to operate industrial systems and a primary empowerer to future industries. With the advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning widely used in IoT, the Industrial IoT is also witnessing changes driven by new technologies. Generally, AI technologies require centralized data collection and processing to learn from the data to obtain viable models for application. In industrial IoT, data security and privacy problems associated with reliable and interconnected end devices are being faced and reliable solutions are urgently needed. A trusted execution environment in IoT devices is gradually becoming a feasible approach, and a distributed solution is a natural choice for artificial intelligence technologies in I-IoT. Moreover, Federated Learning as a distributed machine learning paradigm with privacy-preserving properties can be used in I-IoT. This paper introduces a feasible secure data circulation and sharing scheme for I-IoT devices in a trusted implementation platform by employing federated learning. The suggested framework has proved to be efficient, reliable, and accurate.

Gathering information is the primary purpose of a Sensor network. The task is performed by spatially distributed nodes equipped with sensing, processing, and communication capabilities. However, data gathered from a sensor network must be processed, and often the collective computation capability of nodes forming the sensor network is neglected in favor of data processing on cloud systems. Nowadays, Edge Computing has emerged as a new paradigm aiming to migrate data processing close to data sources. In this contribution, we focus on the development of a sensor network designed to detect a person's fall. We named this sensor network the smart floor. Fall detection is tackled with a Convolutional neuralnetwork, and we propose an approach for in-networkprocessing of convolution layers on grid-shaped sensor networks. The proposed approach could lead to the development of a sensor network that detects falls by performing CNN inference processing on the edge. We complement our work with a simulation using the simulator ns-3. The simulation is designed to emulate the communication overhead of the proposed approach applied to a wired sensor network that resembles the smart floor. Simulation results provide evidence on the feasibility of the proposed concept applied to wired grid shaped sensor networks.

The growing use of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) in a plethora of domains (e.g. healthcare, industry, smart homes, transportation, etc.) triggers an urgent demand for simulation frameworks that can simulate in an integrated manner all the components (i.e. CPUs, Memories, networks, Physical Environment) of a system-under-design(SuD). By utilizing such a simulator, software design can proceed in parallel with physical development which results in the reduction of the so important time-to-market. The main problem, however, is that currently there is a shortage of such simulation frameworks;most simulators used for modelling the digital aspects of CPS applications (i.e. full-system CPU/Mem/Peripheral simulators) lack any support of the CPS physical aspects and vice versa. The presented fully-distributed simulation framework (APOLLON) is the first known open-source, high-performance simulator that can handle holistically complex CPSs including processors, peripherals, networks and physical aspects of them. APOLLON is an extension of the COSSIM simulation framework and it integrates, in a novel and efficient way, a combined processing and network simulator with the widely-used Ptolemy physical simulator, in a transparent way. Our highly integrated approach is further augmented with Machine Learning capabilities by implementing Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) recurrent neuralnetworks in both the Cyber and Physical domains, enabling users to develop their complex recurrent neuralnetworks significantly fast and accurately. APOLLON has been evaluated when executing a number of benchmarks and real-world use cases;the end results demonstrate that the presented approach has up to 99% accuracy in the reported SuD aspects.

We present our work on developing and training scalable, trustworthy, and energy-efficient predictive graph foundation models (GFMs) using HydraGNN, a multi-headed graph convolutional neuralnetwork architecture. HydraGNN expands the boundaries of graph neuralnetwork (GNN) computations in both training scale and data diversity. It abstracts over message passing algorithms, allowing both reproduction of and comparison across algorithmic innovations that define nearest-neighbor convolution in GNNs. This work discusses a series of optimizations that have allowed scaling up the GFMs training to tens of thousands of GPUs on datasets consisting of hundreds of millions of graphs. Our GFMs use multitask learning (MTL) to simultaneously learn graph-level and node-level properties of atomistic structures, such as energy and atomic forces. Using over 154 million atomistic structures for training, we illustrate the performance of our approach along with the lessons learned on two state-of-the-art US Department of Energy (US-DOE) supercomputers, namely the Perlmutter petascale system at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center and the Frontier exascale system at Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility. The HydraGNN architecture enables the GFM to achieve near-linear strong scaling performance using more than 2000 GPUs on Perlmutter and 16,000 GPUs on Frontier.
