The vast array of cloud providers present in today’s market proffer a suite of High-Performance Computing (HPC) services. However, these offerings are characterized by significant variations in execution times and cost structures. Consequently, selecting the optimal cloud provider and configuring the features of the chosen computing instance (e.g. virtual machines) proves to be a challenging task for users intending to execute HPC workloads. This paper introduces a novel component designed for effortless integration with existing HPC scheduling systems. This module’s primary function is to facilitate the selection of the most appropriate cloud provider for each distinct job, thereby empowering dynamic and adaptive cost-minimization strategies. Through the application of data augmentation techniques and the employment of Continuous Machine Learning, the system is endowed with the capability to operate efficiently with cloud providers that have not been previously utilized. Furthermore, it is capable of tracking the evolution of jobs over time. Our results show that this component can achieve consistent economic savings, based on the quality of the data used in the training phase.

Federated edge learning (FEEL) has been introduced for training machine learning models on distributed datasets for applications such as human monitoring. However, some challenges exist concerning the number of communication rounds and communication energy consumption involved in transmiting gradients during the training process. Moreover, over-the-air computation (AirComp) technology has gained attention recently, benefiting from superposition characteristic of wireless channels to compute functions over the air. While primarily designed for analog systems, there is potential for applying this technology in digital systems with embedded modulation schemes. This paper addresses these challenges by proposing a digital AirComp system for federated learning aggregation. The system employs a multi-bit quantization scheme to modulate gradients, adhering to a maximum transmission power constraint. An adaptive quantization scheme is also introduced, which considers the impact of quantization error and the error induced by additive white Gaussian noise. We derive closed-form expressions for pre-processing coefficients at devices and post-processing scaler at the access point (AP) to minimize the mean-squared error between high-precision and quantized qradients under the maximum transmission power constraint. Finally, the performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated in terms of achieved test accuracy, mean-squared error (MSE), and energy consumption, demonstrating its potential effectiveness compared to the benchmark schemes.

the paper demonstrates the process of developing mathematical models for identifying breakdowns of electric motors using machine learning methods. The authors have developed three mathematical models for identifying breakdowns of electric drives with a power of 55 kW, 1500 rpm on the example of sugar production: model for quadratic discriminant analysis; binary classification decision tree; feed-forward neural network model. The best structures and parameters of the models were determined by machine learning methods. The performance of the models on the training and test sets was more than 96% by F-score. It was proposed to use all three models independently for diagnosing breakdowns of electric drives, while the decision maker makes the final decision on the replacement or repair of electrical equipment. This approach is justified and effective because of the diversity of models. The developed models, except for assessing the state of the engine, can also be used for simulation modelling, forecasting, and serve as information support for process operators in organizing equipment maintenance. The availability of real-time information about the state of equipment in production will allow timely repair or replacement of equipment, thereby reducing the risks of stopping production and increasing the resource efficiency of technological processes.

In Advanced Driver-Assistance systems (ADAS) and automatic driving, it is important to accurately recognize objects around the vehicle. DETReg is one of the unsupervised pre-training methods using Transformer, which is self-supervised by combining localization and categorization. DETReg performs self-supervised learning on unlabeled images. Then, it extracted a wide range of features from rich aspects of the data and gained the flexibility to adapt to many variations. Fine tuning then used the labeled dataset of the target task to fine tune the model to fit the specific dataset. This allowed DETReg to achieve higher accuracy in the object detection task. However, it is difficult to learn DETReg efficiently because of its slow learning time. In this paper, we propose a new pre-training method for object detection, called Semi-DETReg, that utilizes a few supervised labels during self-supervised learning. We incorporate semi-supervised learning into DETReg by using a portion of the supervised training data in the pre-training to improve efficiency. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method by conducting experiments and comparing our method to a similarly trained DETReg.

The share of renewable energy sources in the energy mix worldwide is gradually increasing. And even though they all have a highly variable nature, they can be forecasted statistically. The wind energy potential was investigated in this article in the Bulgarian Danube region, located between Ruse and Silistra. Two years of meteorological data, including the wind speed at 10 m height and the ambient temperature was used to estimate the average wind energy for each month of the year at three geographic locations – Ruse, Staro Selo (near Tutrakan), and Calarasi, Romania (near Silistra). The results showed that Staro Selo has the highest energy potential, reaching up to 0.75 kWh/day/m 2 in February, followed by Calarasi with 0.38 kWh/day/m 2 . The city of Ruse showed the lowest wind potential with the highest average monthly value reaching only 0.0027 kWh/day/m 2 . The obtained results showed that the regions around Tutrakan and Silistra are appropriate for the application of micro wind turbines.

In this paper, a novel approach to visual servo control robotic systems is proposed. It is focused on developing a solution using 3D point features without recovering the rigid object’s pose. Pose-free motion is achieved using motion parameterization techniques based on dual numbers and dual vectors. Considering an imposed velocity field over the motion of the 3D point features ensemble, this work proposes a close-form solution to a visual servoing problem. The solution provides stable motion control while preserving the image features in the field of view. However, when some point features leave the field of view, their contribution to the control law is dropped without losing stability. The proposed solution is easy to tune and implement. Various scenarios are used in simulations and real experiments to show how the proposed solution overcomes classic servoing problems.

Repetitive control can lead to high performance by attenuating periodic disturbances completely, yet it may amplify non-periodic disturbances. The aim of this paper is to achieve both fast learning and low errors in repetitive control. To this end, a nonlinear learning filter is introduced that distinguishes between periodic and non-periodic errors based on their typical amplitude characteristics to adapt the extent to which they are included in the repetitive controller. Convergence conditions for the nonlinear repetitive control system are derived by casting the resulting closed-loop as a discrete-time convergent system. Simulation results of the proposed approach demonstrate fast learning and small errors.

The growing interconnectivity in controlsystems due to robust wireless communication and cloud usage paves the way for exciting new opportunities such as data-driven control and service-based decision-making. At the same time, connected systems are susceptible to cyberattacks and data leakages. Against this background, encrypted control aims to increase the security and safety of cyber- physical systems. A central goal is to ensure confidentiality of process data during networked controller evaluations, which is enabled by, e.g., homomorphic encryption. However, the integration of advanced cryptographic systems renders the design of encrypted controllers an inter-disciplinary challenge. This code-driven tutorial paper aims to facilitate the access to encrypted control by providing exemplary realizations based on popular homomorphic cryptosystems. In particular, we discuss the encrypted implementation of state feedback and PI controllers using the Paillier, GSW, and CKKS cryptosystem.
