Network Virtualization (NV) has proved a promising technology that allows multiple heterogeneous Virtual Networks (VNs) to operate simultaneously on the same infrastructure. Dynamic Virtual Network Embedding (NVE) has emerged as an enabler of elasticity and scalability in the VN deployment and resource allocation of the physical infrastructure. However, the key challenge in realizing NV in a sustainable way is how to dynamically embed VNs efficiently into physical network, which is defined as the VNE problem. To address this challenge, this paper proposes an approach that leverages Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) to solve the dynamic VNE of VNs for 5G/6G communication systems. The proposed framework consists of multiple horizontally distributed RL agents that co-operate to devise temporally dynamic VNE placements. The key contributions of this work are introducing a novel dynamic VNE orchestration framework for multi-domain networks based on Distributed RL, providing a scalable VNE framework targeted to Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC) services, evaluating and comparing the proposed algorithm with existing solutions in the state of the art. The paper concludes that there is a significant improvement in latency of 144.191% when compared to the baselines.

Within the paradigm of Evolving and Adaptive Intelligent systems, the Electrical Power System (EPS) represents a Critical Infrastructure demanding robust reliability metrics. This study pioneers the application of Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) heuristic to the Optimal Switch Allocation (OSA) problem in the EPS. Adapting neighborhood structures and local search methods, we consider the joint allocation of Manual Switches and Remote-Controlled switches, addressing interdependencies. Results highlight VNS efficacy in navigating OSA challenges, showcasing its adaptability in an evolving system. Comparative analyses endorse VNS as a valuable tool for addressing EPS reliability within the dynamic landscape of evolving and adaptive intelligent systems.

Nowadays, photonic analog computing in the form of neuromorphic photonics or photonic neural networks has resulted in powerful hardware platforms that accelerate difficult tasks with marginal power consumption. Although linear transformations are efficiently carried out in the optical domain, nonlinear transformations are also of paramount importance. Here, we propose four wave mixing (FWM) process as an elegant solution for the generation of diverse nonlinear higher order products of an original signal. On one hand, these products can act as activation functions in different types of neural networks, either recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and reservoir computers or in any other type of brain-inspired frameworks. On the other hand, the same products can form the basis for polynomial regression which is a very powerful technique used in machine learning in different tasks i.e. for the prediction of COVID-19 transmission [1].

We introduce LDL, a fast and robust algorithm that localizes a panorama to a 3D map using line segments. LDL focuses on the sparse structural information of lines in the scene, which is robust to illumination changes and can potentially enable efficient computation. While previous line-based localization approaches tend to sacrifice accuracy or computation time, our method effectively observes the holistic distribution of lines within panoramic images and 3D maps. Specifically, LDL matches the distribution of lines with 2D and 3D line distance functions, which are further decomposed along principal directions of lines to increase the expressiveness. The distance functions provide coarse pose estimates by comparing the distributional information, where the poses are further optimized using conventional local feature matching. As our pipeline solely leverages line geometry and local features, it does not require costly additional training of line-specific features or correspondence matching. Nevertheless, our method demonstrates robust performance on challenging scenarios including object layout changes, illumination shifts, and large-scale scenes, while exhibiting fast pose search terminating within a matter of milliseconds. We thus expect our method to serve as a practical solution for line-based localization, and complement the well-established point-based paradigm. The code for LDL is available through the following link: https://***/82magnolia/panoramic-localization.

In the last decade, there has been a surge of research interest in feature extraction using random sampling. These techniques are fast and scalable and, at the same time, have practical favorability in low-sample size and high-dimensional training data. Convolutional Kitchen Sinks-based methods are promising random feature extractors for time series data. Since these methods are data-independent, many of the extracted features are redundant. To address this problem, we propose a simple and efficient feature selection method based on knee/elbow detection in the curve of ordered coefficients in linear regression. Our empirical studies show that without significant loss in accuracy, the proposed feature selector, on average, prunes more than 84 percent of randomly generated features.

Tea cultivation stands out as one of the most significant export products that contribute to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In the previous decades, the substantial work-force gradually transitioned to different occupations. Compared to other crops, tea cultivation demands costly and meticulous upkeep. With a shortage of labor, maintaining tea estates grew tougher, leading to decreased yields. In reaction, estate owners transitioned to cultivating low-maintenance crops. The TeaBot is an advanced robot designed to replace human labor for watering and fertilizing vast tea estates. The TeaBot distinguishes itself by operating in rough outdoor terrain and infrastructure-free navigation in real tea plantations. Given that tea plants demand continuous hydration and nutrients for optimal crop yield, TeaBot plays a pivotal role in enhancing efficiency while reducing water and fertilizer wastage. Mainly four motor-powered wheels move accurately by translating linear and angular velocities using a precise motor control algorithm. An autonomous navigation algorithm was developed using two distinct approaches, which include deep learning-based computer vision and classical computer vision. The selection of the classical computer vision method was predicated upon its notable attributes, including high precision, minimal resource utilization, and optimal efficiency. A deep learning-based stem identification model was trained based on MobileNetV2 architecture to detect where the plant stem meets the ground for efficient hydration of individual plants. This lightweight model achieved 90% detection accuracy. The precise results of stem detection have made the liquid fertilization process more efficient.

The automation of processes in greenhouses provides a significant advantage to the agricultural sector. Due to the rapid growth of the population, increasing demand for food and labor shortage make the autonomous monitoring and management of agricultural work more important. Capsicum is a largely consumed vegetable in South Asia, which can be efficiently grown in greenhouses. Although there are many capsicum farms, they lack quality and efficient production to match the increasing demand. This paper proposes a robotic system for use in capsicum greenhouses that can navigate and monitor the plants to identify diseases, track the yield, and take remediation actions. The robot navigates to each plant in the greenhouse autonomously by using the SLAM approach with the use of laser range sensor data. The 4 DoF robotic arm of the robot has a camera and a sprayer attached to its end to investigate plants and spray remedies to diseased plants. The robotic arm moves around the plant to capture the images to detect deceases and count the pods to estimate the yield. The sprayer of the robot sprays remedies precisely to targeted plants to control pests and diseases. The system was successfully implemented and tested with the proposed functions.
