Most countries today emphasize scientific research and invest heavily in it. As a result, the number of scholarly documents has increased dramatically. Both academics and industry professionals seek to retrieve relevant papers efficiently. However, identifying relevant documents on a given topic using current academic search systems is challenging. The reasons include the exponential growth of research publications, ambiguity and limitations in searchers’ keywords, and the complexity of citation networks. Over the past decades, several methods have been proposed to ease the laborious task of searching for relevant papers. Various books and review articles summarize these methodologies, findings, and implications. However, they often fail to provide a detailed retrospective of recent advances, including their evolution, current state, and challenges. This article addresses that gap by reviewing the most relevant and authoritative literature on advances in academic search systems. It proposes a generic layered architecture of scholarly retrieval systems and provides a detailed analysis of ranking methodologies, datasets, and evaluation methods. Additionally, it identifies critical open research challenges and issues, offering a promising foundation for future research and development in this vital field.

In this paper, we investigate an accurate synchronization between a physical network and its digital network twin (DNT), which serves as a virtual representation of the physical network. The considered network includes a set of base stations (BSs) that must allocate its limited spectrum resources to serve a set of users while also transmitting its partially observed physical network information to a cloud server to generate the DNT. Since the DNT can predict the physical network status based on its historical status, the BSs may not need to send their physical network information at each time slot, allowing them to conserve spectrum resources to serve the users. However, if the DNT does not receive the physical network information of the BSs over a large time period, the DNT’s accuracy in representing the physical network may degrade. To this end, each BS must decide when to send the physical network information to the cloud server to update the DNT, while also determining the spectrum resource allocation policy for both DNT synchronization and serving the users. We formulate this resource allocation task as an optimization problem, aiming to maximize the total data rate of all users while minimizing the asynchronization between the physical network and the DNT. The formulated problem is challenging to solve by traditional optimization methods, as each BS can only observe a partial physical network, making it difficult to find an optimal spectrum allocation strategy for the entire network. To address this problem, we propose a method based on the gated recurrent units (GRUs) and the value decomposition network (VDN). The GRU component allows the DNT to predict future status using the historical data, effectively updating itself when the BSs do not transmit the physical network information. The VDN algorithm enables each BS to learn the relationship between its local observation and the team reward of all BSs, allowing it to collaborate with others in determining whe

One of the solutions for rewriting blockchain data is to replace the standard hash function with a chameleon hash function. This enables users with the trapdoor to generate hash collision for rewriting operation. However, such rewritable blockchain solution may allow users to have unlimited rewriting permissions. This is undesirable as rewritable blockchains should still maintain a certain degree of immutability. In this paper, we propose a fine-grained one-time rewritable blockchain scheme that supports traitor tracing and bilateral access control. The proposed solution is the first that combines one-time chameleon hash function and traceable attribute-based encryption to realize one-time rewriting blockchain at the same time tracking for malicious users who leak the private key. Furthermore, our solution offers bilateral access control by integrating with fog computing. We also verify the performance of the proposed scheme with experimental analysis.

Instant delivery has become a fundamental service in people's daily lives. Different from the traditional express service, the instant delivery has a strict shipping time constraint after being ordered. However, the labor shortage makes it challenging to realize efficient instant delivery. To tackle the problem, researchers have studied to introduce vehicles (i.e., taxis) or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs or drones) into instant delivery tasks. Unfortunately, the delivery detour of taxis and the limited battery of UAVs make it hard to meet the rapidly increasing instant delivery demands. Under this circumstance, this paper proposes an air-ground cooperative instant delivery paradigm to maximize the delivery performance and meanwhile minimize the negative effects on the taxi passengers. Specifically, a data-driven delivery potential-demands-aware cooperative strategy is designed to improve the overall delivery performance of both UAVs and taxis as well as the taxi passengers' experience. The experimental results show that the proposed method improves the delivery number by 30.1% and 114.5% compared to the taxi-based and UAV-based instant delivery respectively, and shortens the delivery time by 35.7% compared to the taxi-based instant delivery.
