Digital Twins (DTs) have emerged as a powerful tool for modeling Large Complex Systems (LCSs). Their strength lies in the detailed virtual models that enable accurate predictions, presenting challenges in traditionally centralized approaches due to the immense scale and decentralized ownership of LCSs. This paper proposes a framework that leverages the prevalence of individual DTs within LCSs. By facilitating the exchange of decisions and predictions, this framework fosters collaboration among autonomous DTs, enhancing performance. Additionally, a trust-based mechanism is introduced to improve system robustness against poor decision-making within the collaborative network. The framework's effectiveness is demonstrated in a virtual power plant (VPP) scenario. The evaluation results confirm the system's objectives across various test cases and show scalability for large deployments.

The growth of e-commerce has altered how consumers shop, providing a digital space where convenience, vast product offerings, and competitive pricing converge. In today’s world, e-commerce websites are transitioning from traditional search-driven methods to customized and intuitive approaches via product suggestions. Product recommendation systems are vital in e-commerce, from bringing new business to retaining existing ones. Our three-part recommendation system is designed so that new users have a great and engaging experience as the Product Popularity -Based System shows them carefully chosen products that are in demand. Collaborative Filtering Recommendations are highly personalized recommendations given to people who have already made their first purchases based on their prior actions and preferences. The K-Means Clustering-Based Recommendation System uses textual clustering analysis to deliver contextually relevant recommendations. We use a variety of evaluation metrics, such as click-through rates, user engagement, and the Silhouette Score, to assess the effectiveness and accuracy of our recommendation systems. Our findings show significant increases in user engagement, conversion rates, and relevant recommendations. Our findings demonstrate the transformative power of well-designed recommendation systems, which improve user experiences and retention and provide invaluable solutions for businesses entering the e-commerce space. This paper provides an in-dept. examination of the multifaceted landscape of e-commerce recommendations, shedding light on their far-reaching implications for customer acquisition and retention in this dynamic digital era.

Distributed Machine Learning (DML) at the edge of the network involves model learning and inference across networking nodes over distributed data. One type of model learning could be the delivery of predictive analytics services to formulate intelligent environments, however, those environments heavily rely on real-time inference and are significantly influenced by changes in the underlying data (concept drifts). Moreover, the quality of service and availability in DML environments are directly tied to each node’s reliability, since such environments are highly susceptible to the impact of node failures. Even if such challenges can be tackled with distributed resilience mechanisms, their effectiveness and efficiency, due to concept drifts, should be maintained to ensure continuous and sustained quality of service. DML systems operate in dynamic environments, thus, they require their models to be updated according to the novel trends embedded in the new data they encounter. We, therefore, introduce several model maintenance mechanisms to ensure resilient DML systems in the long term when concept drifts emerge. We provide a comprehensive experimental evaluation of our resilience maintenance mechanisms over synthetic and real data showcasing their importance and applicability in edge learning environments.

The objective of this work was the investigation of multiscale Amplitude Modulation - Frequency Modulation (AM-FM) analysis based on Difference of Gaussians (DoG) filterbanks representations in order to predict the risk of stroke by analysing carotid plaques ultrasound images of individuals with asymptomatic carotid stenosis. We computed the instantaneous amplitude, instantaneous phase and the magnitude of instantaneous frequency to extract histogram features on each plaque region. The Support Vectors Machine classifier was implemented to classify asymptomatic versus symptomatic plaques. A dataset of 100 carotid plaque images (50 asymptomatic and 50 symptomatic) were tested, and showed that the AM-FM features based on DoG filterbanks and simple histograms performed better than the traditional AM-FM features. Best results were obtained when an eight scale filterbank with a combination of scales was used reaching the accuracy of 75%.

Many index advisors have recently been proposed to build indexes automatically to improve query performance. However, they mainly consider performance improvement in static scenarios. Their robustness, i.e., stable performance in dynamic scenarios (e.g., with minor workload changes), has not been well investigated. This paper addresses the challenges of assessing the index advisor's robustness from the following aspects. First, we introduce perturbation-based workloads for robustness assessment and identify three typical perturbation constraints that occur in real scenarios. Second, with the perturbation constraints, we formulate the generation of perturbed queries as a sequence-to-sequence problem and propose TRAP (Tailored Robustness assessment via Adversarial Perturbation) to pinpoint the performance loopholes of index advisors. Third, to generalize to various index advisors, we place TRAP in an opaque-box setting (i.e., with little knowledge of the index advisors' internal design), and we propose a two-phase training paradigm to efficiently train TRAP without elaborately annotated data. Fourth, we conduct comprehensive robustness assessments on standard benchmarks and real workloads for ten existing index advisors. Our findings reveal that these index advisors are vulnerable to the workloads generated by TRAP. Finally, based on the assessment results, we shed light on insights to enhance the robustness of different index advisors. For example, learning-based index advisors can benefit from adopting a fine-grained state representation and a candidate pruning strategy.
