Blockchain technology can construct a decentralised architecture design for diverse software applications. Nevertheless, the defects of on-chain algorithmic autonomy and subsequent tedious arguments for fixing the bugs raised concerns about whether blockchain can operate in a trustworthy way. Although multiple architectural patterns for blockchain governance have been summarised, concentrating on different governance dimensions (i.e., decision rights, incentives, and accountability), there is a need for guidance on the adoption of these patterns. In this paper, we present a set of decision models that can assist architects and developers in selecting appropriate patterns, to achieve governance in blockchain systems. This study provides a mapping between governance-related problems and each architectural pattern, and clarifies the trade-offs and conditions. The proposed decision models were evaluated based on expert opinions regarding the usability, correctness, and completeness collected via interviews.

The key-value separation is renowned for its significant mitigation of the write amplification inherent in traditional LSM trees. However, KV separation potentially increases performance overhead in the management of Value region, especially for garbage collection (GC) operation that is used to reduce the redundant space occupation. In response, many efforts have been made to optimize the GC mechanism for KV separation. However, our analysis indicates that such solution based on trade-offs between CPU and I/O overheads cannot simultaneously satisfy the three requirements of KV separated systems in terms of throughput, tail latency, and space usage. This limitation hinders their real-world *** this paper, we introduce AegonKV, a "three-birds-one-stone" solution that comprehensively enhances the throughput, tail latency, and space usage of KV separated systems. AegonKV first proposes a SmartSSD-based GC offloading mechanism to enable asynchronous GC operations without competing with LSM read/write for bandwidth or CPU. AegonKV leverages offload-friendly data structures and hardware/ software execution logic to address the challenges of GC offloading. Experiments demonstrate that AegonKV achieves the largest throughput improvement of 1.28-3.3 times, a significant reduction of 37%-66% in tail latency, and 15%-85% in space overhead compared to existing KV separated systems.

This paper further explores our previous wake word spotting system ranked 2-nd in Track 1 of the MISP Challenge 2021. First, we investigate a robust unimodal approach based on 3D and 2D convolution and adopt the simple attention module (SimAM) for our system to improve performance. Second, we explore different combinations of data augmentation methods for better performance. Finally, we study the fusion strategies, including score-level, cascaded and neural fusion. Our proposed multimodal system leverages multimodal features and uses the complementary visual information to mitigate the performance degradation of audio-only systems in complex acoustic scenarios. Our system obtains a false reject rate of 2.15% and a false alarm rate of 3.44% in the evaluation set of the competition database, which achieves the new state-of-the-art performance by 21% relative improvement compared to previous systems.

Exploratory data analysis (EDA) is usually human-in-the-loop and time tedious since identifying insights that show interesting characteristics and trends in data is laborious. Insight discovery helps users gain structured knowledge when understanding the dataset by categorizing interesting characteristics and trends into commonnesses and exceptions. However, existing insight discovery methods cannot interact with users when discovering insights. More importantly, the efficiency of insight discovery for these methods is low. In this paper, we propose a framework that supports and accelerates interactive insight discovery. We first divide the dataset into multiple subsets, and precompute the pattern snippets that include the distribution characteristics of subsets. Considering efficiency, we only pre-compute for subsets that cannot be further split. Then we design a novel cube structure, called InsightCube, to store precomputed pattern snippets. In order to accelerate insight discovery, we reuse the precomputed pattern snippets stored in InsightCube to infer the pattern of subsets that cannot be split. Furthermore, during insight discovery, we propose pruning strategies to accelerate the pattern inference for subsets that can be split. Experimental results on real-world datasets show that InsightCube improves the insight discovery efficiency by up to $2.5 \times$ compared to the state-of-the-art insight discovery method.

The increasing speed of Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) development requires framework approaches that secure, efficient, and scalable for healthcare data management. The study presents FogMedX-Transform as a Transformer-based task interoperability framework purposebuilt for energy-efficient fog-enabled IoMT systems. A customized Transformer design utilizing multi-head selfattention allows the framework to deliver timely critical healthcare data processing alongside optimized energy usage. This model demonstrated a 98.7% task interoperability success rate coupled with a 97.5% anomaly detection accuracy that exceeded results from conventional models based in fog environments and the cloud. The framework improved performance through latency reduction between 50% and 70% and energy consumption minimization reached between 25% to 40% thus proving its effectiveness in resource administration. The scalability tests proved steady system functionality when dealing with different device quantities and built-in security features blocked data breaches and had a false positive rate of 2.3% during testing. FogMedX-Transform demonstrates the capability for healthcare transformation through its union of fog computing and deep learning technology integration according to test results.

This paper describes the system developed by the WHU-Alibaba team for the Multimodal Information Based Speech Processing (MISP) 2022 Challenge. We extend the Sequence-to-Sequence Target-Speaker Voice Activity Detection framework to simultaneously detect multiple speakers’ voice activities from audio-visual signals. The final system achieves a diarization error rate (DER) of 8.82% on the evaluation set of the competition database, which ranks 1st in the speaker diarization track of the MISP 2022, ICASSP Signal Processing Grand Challenge.
