Autonomous Vehicle (AV) decision-making in ur-ban environments is inherently challenging due to the dynamic interactions with surrounding vehicles. For safe planning, AV/ego must understand the weightage of various spatiotemporal interactions in a scene. Contemporary works use colos-sal transformer architectures to encode interactions mainly for trajectory prediction, resulting in increased computational complexity. To address this issue without compromising spatiotemporal understanding and performance, we propose the simple Deep Attention Driven Reinforcement Learning (DAD-RL) framework, which dynamically assigns and incorporates the significance of surrounding vehicles into the ego's RL-driven decision-making process. We introduce an AV-centric spatiotemporal attention encoding (STAE) mechanism for learning the dynamic interactions with different surrounding vehicles. To understand map and route context, we employ a context encoder to extract features from context maps. The spatiotemporal representations combined with contextual encoding provide a comprehensive state representation. The resulting model is trained using the Soft-Actor Critic (SAC) algorithm. We evaluate the proposed framework on the SMARTS urban benchmarking scenarios without traffic signals to demonstrate that DAD-RL outperforms recent state-of-the-art methods. Furthermore, an ablation study underscores the importance of the context-encoder and spatiotemporal attention encoder in achieving superior performance.

The adaptability of devices can be significant for a customer that inserts them in an industrial production line. The ability to modify an object bought along with a machine that can be personalized with its features can change how they want to do measurements for different reasons, like predictive maintenance. Fog computing local centers already exist in the market, but they are usually on-the-shelf products with no margin of change for any user. However, with the usage of Docker and containers, this can change. This paper describes a fog computing local central called Concentrator, which can not only execute its essential functions built-in by the producer but also be customized by the user to add in the elaborations on other external sensors, expanding its capabilities and usage. We wanted to improve the device already tested on a Linux PC on a Raspberry Pi and try its performance and characteristics, seeing if it could be transformed into an embedded architecture and an industrial feature.

Dependency effects between Critical Infrastructure (CI) elements are essential for predicting the impact of disturbances, but such data is often scarce. This study builds a dependency network of critical sectors using open data and guidelines from the US and EU Directives on Critical Infrastructures. Focusing on the Marche region (Italy), particularly the city of Ancona, the network is analyzed to identify key nodes critical for preventing cascading failures. Centrality measures highlight essential infrastructure like hospitals and transport hubs, which are crucial for network resilience. The insights provided can support decision-makers in prioritizing interventions and developing strategies to enhance infrastructure resilience and mitigate the risk of cascading failures.

RGB-Thermal Salient Object Detection (RGB-T SOD) aims to pinpoint prominent objects within aligned pairs of visible and thermal infrared images. A key challenge lies in bridging the inherent disparities between RGB and Thermal modalities for effective saliency map prediction. Traditional encoder-decoder architectures, while designed for cross-modality feature interactions, may not have adequately considered the robustness against noise originating from defective modalities, thereby leading to suboptimal performance in complex scenarios. Inspired by hierarchical human visual systems, we propose the CONTRINET, a robust Confluent Triple-Flow Network employing a "Divide-and-Conquer" strategy. This framework utilizes a unified encoder with specialized decoders, each addressing different subtasks of exploring modality-specific and modality-complementary information for RGB-T SOD, thereby enhancing the final saliency map prediction. Specifically, CONTRINET comprises three flows: two modality-specific flows explore cues from RGB and Thermal modalities, and a third modality-complementary flow integrates cues from both modalities. CONTRINET presents several notable advantages. It incorporates a Modality-induced Feature Modulator (MFM) in the modality-shared union encoder to minimize inter-modality discrepancies and mitigate the impact of defective samples. Additionally, a foundational Residual Atrous Spatial Pyramid Module (RASPM) in the separated flows enlarges the receptive field, allowing for the capture of multi-scale contextual information. Furthermore, a Modality-aware Dynamic Aggregation Module (MDAM) in the modality-complementary flow dynamically aggregates saliency-related cues from both modality-specific flows. Leveraging the proposed parallel triple-flow framework, we further refine saliency maps derived from different flows through a flow-cooperative fusion strategy, yielding a high-quality, full-resolution saliency map for the final prediction.

Mesothelioma is an extremely severe cancer that can easily transform into lung cancer. Mesothelioma diagnosis takes several months and treatment, including surgery, is expensive. Given the risk, early detection of Mesothelioma is essential for patient health, as it is connected to asbestos exposure. Various machine learning algorithms has been used in this research paper to compare with accurate results for mesothelioma detection. Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), Decision Tree (DT), k Nearest Neighbourhood (k-NN), and Linear Regression (LR) are some of the machine learning methods being used. For this research paper, dataset is available on UCI, called the University of California Irvine [1]. The test dataset contains 264 instances, 35 characteristics and 8 performance measures, which is used to evaluate the classifiers accuracy. The average accuracy of XGB, RF, DT, SGD, LR and Voting Classifier are 100% each. Combing all the classifiers, helps us to break through the Mesothelioma data and the creation of data driven insights to improve patient care.

Adopting Digital Twin (DT) technology in vehicular edge computing (VEC) enables efficient capture of real-time state information of applications, thereby addressing complex task scheduling problems. Existing literature studies considered only minimizing service latency for task offloading; however, there is room for exploring strategies to enhance user Quality of Experience (QoE) in timeliness and reliability domains. In this paper, we have developed an optimization framework using Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP), namely QuETOD, which minimizes service latency by allocating task execution responsibility to highly reliable and reputed vehicles in a DT-enabled VEC environment. The developed QuETOD framework clusters the vehicles based on the demand-supply theory of economics by considering computing resources and utilizing the multi-weighted subjective logic for getting the proper reputation update of the vehicles. The experimental results of the developed QuETOD system depict significant performance improvement in terms of QoE and reliability compared to the state-of-the-art works as high as 15% and 25%, respectively.
Generally available application monitoring solutions comprise basic aggregated metrics. This paper collects such metrics in the form of raw data. We have worked out a very primitive piece written in Golang, which...
