The tile-based multiplayer game Mahjong is widely played in Asia and has also become increasingly popular worldwide. Face-to-face or online, each player begins with a hand of 13 tiles and players draw and discard tiles in turn until they complete a winning hand. An important notion in Mahjong is the deficiency number(*** number in Japanese Mahjong) of a hand, which estimates how many tile changes are necessary to complete the hand into a winning hand. The deficiency number plays an essential role in major decision-making tasks such as selecting a tile to discard. This paper proposes a fast algorithm for computing the deficiency number of a Mahjong hand. Compared with the baseline algorithm, the new algorithm is usually 100 times faster and, more importantly,respects the agent's knowledge about available tiles. The algorithm can be used as a basic procedure in all Mahjong variants by both rule-based and machine learning-based Mahjong AI.

Regression testing of software systems is an important and critical activity yet expensive and resource-intensive. An approach to enhance its efficiency is Regression Test Selection (RTS), which selectively re-executes a subset of relevant tests that are impacted by code modifications. Previous studies on static and dynamic RTS for Java software have shown that selecting tests at the class level is more effective than using finer granularities like methods or statements. Nevertheless, RTS at the package level, which is a coarser granularity than class level, has not been thoroughly investigated or evaluated for Java projects. To address this gap, we propose PKRTS, a static package-level RTS approach that utilizes the structural dependencies of the software system under test to construct a package-level dependency graph. PKRTS analyzes dependencies in the graph and identifies relevant tests that can reach modified packages, i.e., packages containing altered classes. In contrast to conventional static RTS techniques, PKRTS implicitly considers dynamic dependencies, such as Java reflection and virtual method calls, among classes belonging to the same package by treating all those classes as a single cohesive node in the dependency graph. We evaluated PKRTS on 885 revisions of 9 open-source Java projects, with its performance compared to Ekstazi, a state-of-the-art dynamic class-level approach, and STARTS, a state-of-the-art static class-level approach. We used Ekstazi as the baseline to measure the safety and precision violations of PKRTS and STARTS. The results indicated that PKRTS outperformed static class-level RTS in terms of safety violation, which measures the extent to which relevant test cases are missed. PKRTS showed an average safety violation of 2.29% compared to 5.94% safety violation of STARTS. Despite this, PKRTS demonstrated lower precision violation and lower reduction in test suite size than class-level RTS, as it selects higher number of irrelevant te

As a pivotal enabler of intelligent transportation system(ITS), Internet of vehicles(Io V) has aroused extensive attention from academia and industry. The exponential growth of computation-intensive, latency-sensitive,and privacy-aware vehicular applications in Io V result in the transformation from cloud computing to edge computing,which enables tasks to be offloaded to edge nodes(ENs) closer to vehicles for efficient execution. In ITS environment,however, due to dynamic and stochastic computation offloading requests, it is challenging to efficiently orchestrate offloading decisions for application requirements. How to accomplish complex computation offloading of vehicles while ensuring data privacy remains challenging. In this paper, we propose an intelligent computation offloading with privacy protection scheme, named COPP. In particular, an Advanced Encryption Standard-based encryption method is utilized to implement privacy protection. Furthermore, an online offloading scheme is proposed to find optimal offloading policies. Finally, experimental results demonstrate that COPP significantly outperforms benchmark schemes in the performance of both delay and energy consumption.

The increasing global prevalence of diabetes necessitates the development of accurate, reliable, and miniaturised glucose sensing technologies. Microwave-based sensors offer a promising alternative to conventional electrochemical methods due to their less invasive nature and real-time monitoring capabilities. However, previous microwave glucose sensors have often lacked comprehensive validation, limiting their practical usability. Many existing studies rely on simplified simulations without detailed parametric studies or fail to establish a strong correlation between theoretical models and experimental results, resulting in discrepancies in sensor performance. This study introduces a Cross-Slot Substrate Integrated Waveguide (CSSIW) sensor that overcomes these limitations by implementing a rigorous multi-level validation approach, including analytical modeling, full-wave electromagnetic simulations, and experimental verification. The sensor’s X-slot structure enhances electric field concentration, significantly improving sensitivity while maintaining a compact form factor (13×9 mm). Through eigenmode analysis and parametric studies, the sensor’s resonant frequency shift is optimised to detect glucose concentration variations with high precision. Experimental validation using glucose solutions at physiological concentrations (20–200 mg/dL) demonstrates a sensitivity of 0.563 MHz/(mg/dL), closely aligning with simulated results (0.415 MHz/(mg/dL)), confirming its accuracy and robustness. Compared to previous works, this study addresses prior shortcomings by providing a detailed investigation of field interactions, quality factor evaluation, and environmental dependencies, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the CSSIW sensor’s performance. The findings confirm that the proposed sensor achieves low insertion loss (1.13 dB), strong impedance matching (-18.7 dB return loss), and full physiological range coverage, making it a promising candidate for next-generation g
