One of the most serious problems encountered in Naval steam plants following World War II was the unreliable performance of boiler and main feedpump pneumatic control systems. In addition to control component and system design deficiencies, these control systems suffered from inadequate methods to measure and adjust system alignment. This paper describes the development of a set of procedures for on-line alignment verification (OLV) of pneumatic main boiler and feedpump control systems. The procedures are designed for use by N avy control system technicians and, in addition to on-line alignment verification, provide guidance for troubleshooting and for performing system alignment. Procedure static checks measure steady state steaming performance and OLV procedure dynamic checks measure the ability of the boiler and control systems to respond to load changes. The paper describes typical control system characteristics that influence OLV procedure content and the supporting analysis that was used to establish alignment criteria ranges that satisfy both steady state and transient performance requirements. Also described is the alignment criteria tolerance analysis along with the steps involved in a typical OLV check procedure development. Descriptions of the various OLV checks, troubleshooting procedures and alignment procedures are provided. Typical shipboard implementation requirements are described and experience to date with the procedures is provided along with a status report on OLV procedure implementations.

The emergence of Vision Transformers (ViTs) has marked a significant advancement in machine learning, particularly in applications requiring robust visual recognition capabilities, such as traffic sign detection for autonomous driving systems. But, deploying these models in adversarial environments where robustness is critical remains a challenge. This survey provides a comprehensive review of the integration of ViTs in traffic sign detection and recognition, emphasizing their vulnerability to adversarial attacks and the methods developed to enhance their robustness. This paper also presents a compressive comparison of ViTs in a tabular form for side-by-side comparison.

Edge intelligence (EI) integrates edge computing and artificial intelligence empowering service providers to deploy deep neural networks (DNNs) on edge servers in proximity to users to provision intelligent applications (e.g., autonomous driving) for ubiquitous Internet of Things (IoT) in smart cities, which facilitates the quality of experience (QoE) of users and improves the processing and energy efficiency. However, considering DNN is typically computational-intensive and resource-hungry, conventional placement approaches ignore the influence of multi-dimensional resource requirements (processor, memory, etc.), which may degrade the real-time performance. Moreover, with the increasing scale of geo-distributed edge servers, centralized decision-making is still challenging to find the optimal strategies effectively. To overcome these shortcomings, in this paper we propose a game theoretic DNN placement approach in EI-enabled IoT. First, a DNN placement optimization problem is formulated to maximize system benefits, which is proven to be \(\mathcal {N}\mathcal {P}\)-hard and model the original problem as an exact potential game (EPG). Moreover, an EPG-based DNN model placement algorithm, named EPOL, is designed for edge servers to make sub-optimal strategies independently and theoretical analysis is possessed to guarantee the performance of EPOL. Finally, real-world dataset based experimental results corroborate the superiority and effectiveness of EPOL.

With the increasing technological advancements and deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in different applications (e.g., delivery services, surveillance, critical infrastructure monitoring, military operations, and search-and-rescue operations), a robust, lightweight, and accurate system for UAV state identification and trajectory prediction is becoming a mandate. This work introduces an onboard real-time multi-task learning framework that combines Transformer neural networks and reservoir computing (RC) architectures to enhance outdoor UAV operations. The proposed system employs the Transformer-based architecture to capture the temporal dependencies in sequential data for long-term horizons, while RC-based networks are utilized to ensure robust and real-time performance. Specifically, custom multi-task models are implemented and fine-tuned to collect multi-modal sensor measurements, aiming to enhance the two-fold objective of simultaneous UAV state identification and trajectory prediction through shared feature learning. A dataset comprised of measurements collected from real-world UAV operations (in 3D space) under various conditions is employed to train and evaluate the proposed system. Further, a prototype onboard UAV system is implemented and tested in real-world field experiments. Extensive evaluations of the experimental results demonstrate that the onboard framework achieves accuracy close to the ground truth in both state identification and trajectory prediction, consequently showcasing its potential for practical applications.

The Web 3.0 and metaverse can empower intelligent application of Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs). The adoption of edge computing can contribute to the low latency interaction between CAVs and the metaverse. Microservices are widely deployed on edge networks and the cloud nowadays. User's requests from CAVs are typically fulfilled through the composition of microservices, which may be hosted by contiguous edge nodes. Requests may differ on their required resources at runtime. Consequently, when requests are continuously injected into edge networks, the usage of heterogenous resources, including CPU, memory, and network bandwidth, may not be the same, or differ significantly, on certain edge nodes. This happens especially when burst requests are injected into the network to be satisfied concurrently. Therefore, the usage of heterogenous resources provided by edge nodes should be co-optimized through re-scheduling microservices. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a Web 3.0-enabled Microservice Re-Scheduling approach (called MRS), which is a migration-based mechanism integrating a placement strategy. Specifically, we formulate the microservice re-scheduling task as a multi-objective and multi-constraint optimization problem, which can be solved through a penalty signal-integrated framework and an improved pointer network. Extensive experiments are conducted on two real-world datasets. Evaluation results show that our MRS performs better than the counterparts with improvements of at least 7.7%, 2.4% and 2.2% in terms of network throughput, latency and energy consumption.

The Transactions on Pattern Languages of Programming subline aims to publish papers on patterns and pattern languages as applied to software design, development, and use, throughout all phases of the software life cycle, from requirements and design to implementation, maintenance and evolution. The primary focus of this LNCS Transactions subline is on patterns, pattern collections, and pattern languages themselves. The journal also includes reviews, survey articles, criticisms of patterns and pattern languages, as well as other research on patterns and pattern languages. This book, the third volume in the Transactions on Pattern Languages of Programming series, presents five papers that have been through a careful peer review process involving both pattern experts and domain experts. The papers present various pattern languages and a study of applying patterns and represent some of the best work that has been carried out in design patterns and pattern languages of programming over the last few years.
