We examine data-intensive real-time applications, such as forest fire detection, medical emergency services, oil pipeline monitoring, etc., that require relatively low response time in processing data from the Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Typically, in such circumstances, the edge computing paradigm is utilised to drastically reduce the processing delay of such applications. However, with the growing IoT devices, the edge device cluster needs to be configured properly such that the real-time requirements are met. Therefore, the cluster configuration must be dynamically adapted to the changing network topology of the edge cluster in order to minimise the observed overall communication delay incurred by edge devices when processing data from IoT devices. To this end, we propose an intelligent assignment of IoT devices to edge devices based on Reinforcement Learning such that communication delay is minimised and none of the edge devices is overloaded. We demonstrate, with some preliminary results, that our algorithm outperforms the state-of-the-art.

When multiple applications are running on a platform with shared resources like multicore CPUs, the behaviour of the running application can be altered by the co-runners. In this case, the system resources need to be managed (e.g. by repartitioning the cache space, re-schedule applications in distinct cores, modifying the prefetcher configuration, etc.) to reduce the inter-application interference in order to minimize the performance losses over isolated execution. In this context, a main challenge in different computing scenarios like the public cloud or soft real-time systems is knowing the performance impact of a given management action on each application with respect to its isolated execution. With this aim, in this work we present a neuralnetwork-based approach that estimates the performance an application would have had in isolation from multi-program executions. Experimental results show that the proposal dynamically adapts to changes in application behavior. On average, the predicted performance presents an error deviation by 11.7% and 2.3% for MAPE and MSE respectively.

Chiplet-based convolution neuralnetwork (CNN) accelerators have emerged as a promising solution to provide substantial processing power and on-chip memory capacity for CNN inference. The performance of these accelerators is often limited by inter-chiplet metallic interconnects. Emerging technologies such as photonic interconnects can overcome the limitations of metallic interconnects due to several superior properties including high bandwidth density and distance-independent latency. However, implementing photonic interconnects in chiplet-based CNN accelerators is challenging and requires combined effort of network architectural optimization and CNN dataflow customization. In this article, we propose SPRINT, a chiplet-based CNN accelerator that consists of a global buffer and several accelerator chiplets. SPRINT introduces two novel designs: (1) a photonic inter-chiplet network that can adapt to specific communication patterns in CNN inference through wavelength allocation and waveguide reconfiguration, and (2) a CNN dataflow that can leverage the broadcasting capability of photonic interconnects while minimizing the costly electrical-to-optical and optical-to-electrical signal conversions. Simulations using multiple CNN models show that SPRINT achieves up to 76% and 68% reduction in execution time and energy consumption, respectively, as compared to other state-of-the-art chiplet-based architectures with either metallic or photonic interconnects.

Recent developments in machine learning (ML) allow for efficient data stream processing and also help in meeting various privacy requirements. Traditionally, predefined privacy policies are enforced in resource-rich and homogeneous environments such as in the cloud to protect sensitive information from being exposed. However, large amounts of data streams generated from heterogeneous IoT devices often result in high computational costs, cause network latency, and increase the chance of data interruption as data travels away from the source. Therefore, this article proposes a novel privacy-enforcing framework for transforming data streams by executing various privacy policies close to the data source. To achieve our proposed framework, we enable domain experts to specify high-level privacy policies in a human-readable form. Then, the edge-based runtime system analyzes data streams (i.e., generated from nearby IoT devices), interprets privacy policies (i.e., deployed on edge devices), and transforms data streams if privacy violations occur. Our proposed runtime mechanism uses a Deep neuralnetworks (DNN) technique to detect privacy violations within the streamed data. Furthermore, we discuss the framework, processes of the approach, and the experiments carried out on a real-world testbed to validate its feasibility and applicability.

From brains to science itself, distributed representational systems store and process information about the world. In brains, complex cognitive functions emerge from the collective activity of billions of neurons, and in science, new knowledge is discovered by building on previous discoveries. In both systems, many small individual units—neurons and scientific concepts—interact to inform complex behaviors in the systems they comprise. The patterns in the interactions between units are telling; pairwise interactions not only trivially affect pairs of units, but they also form structural and dynamic patterns with more than just pairs, on a larger scale of the network. Recently, network science adapted methods from graph theory, statistical mechanics, information theory, algebraic topology, and dynamical systems theory to study such complex systems. In this dissertation, we use such cutting-edge methods in network science to study complex distributed representational systems in two domains: cascading neuralnetworks in the domain of neuroscience and concept networks in the domain of science of science. In the domain of neuroscience, the brain is a system that supports complex behavior by storing and processing information from the environment on long time scales. Underlying such behavior is a network of millions of interacting neurons. Many recent studies measure neural activity on the scale of the whole brain with brain regions as units or on the scale of brain regions with individual neurons as units. While many studies have explored the neural correlates of behaviors on these scales, it is less explored how neural activity can be decomposed into low-level patterns. network science has shown potential to advance our understanding of large-scale brain networks, and here, we apply network science to further our understanding of low-level patterns in small-scale neuralnetworks. Specifically, we explore how the structure and dynamics of biological neuralnetworks suppor

This paper studies an advanced machine learning method, specifically few-shot classification with meta-learning, applied to distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) data. The study contributes two key aspects: (i) an investigation of different pre-processing methods for DAS data and (ii) the implementation of a neuralnetwork model based on meta-learning to learn a representation of the processed data. In the context of urban infrastructure monitoring, we develop a few-shot classification framework that classifies query samples with only a limited number of support samples. The model consists of an embedding network trained on a meta dataset for feature extraction and is followed by a classifier for performing few-shot classification. This research thoroughly explores three types of data pre-processing, that is, decomposed phase, power spectral density, and frequency energy band, as inputs to the neuralnetwork. Experimental results show the efficient learning capabilities of the embedding model when working with various pre-processed data, offering a range of pre-processing options. Furthermore, the results demonstrate outstanding few-shot classification performance across a large number of event classes, highlighting the framework's potential for urban infrastructure monitoring applications.

In this paper, two accurate hybrid islanding detection schemes are proposed based on Wavelet Transform and Stockwell transform (S-transform). The proposed methods use the potential of sequence voltage (negative) retrieved at the target distributed Generation (DG) location of the distribution network under study. In one of the schemes, DiscreteWavelet transform (DWT) is applied to process the negative sequence voltage signal and for its decomposition, which is further used to extract six statistical features like energy, entropy, mean, kurtosis, standard deviation, and skewness from the reconstructed DWT coefficients. Test and train data sets are generated with the wide variation of loading conditions, and optimal features are chosen from the full feature set by forward feature selection method (FFS) during the training process by an artificial neuralnetwork (ANN). After that, the trained system is tested to get the detection result. Another scheme presented in this paper for islanding detection is based on S-transform, which is used to decompose the negative sequence voltage signal. Amplitude, frequency, and phase are the three coefficients acquired from the pre-processing of the raw signal by S-transform. Then the cumulative sums of the energy content of the S-transform coefficients are determined and are compared with a threshold value to get the detection result. The proposed schemes are tested in a distribution network consisting of two 9MWwind farm driven by six 1.5MW wind turbine connected to 120 kV main grid through a 25 kV, 30 km feeder. Several cases have been investigated like normal condition, islanding, DG line trip, disconnection of point of common coupling, and sudden change in load to test the performance of the proposed schemes. It can be observed from the results that both the approaches gave high accuracy in the detection of islanding conditions and demarcates properly from the non-islanding state. However, results show that the S-transform based
