This article introduces the term augmented artificial intelligence (A2I) to emphasize the integration of AI with human judgment and ethical considerations, proposing that if AI underpins the Fourth Industrial Revolution, then A2I should serve as the ...

We analyze the impact of poisoning attacks on autonomous drones and demonstrate how explainable artificial intelligence techniques can be employed to detect them. We then delve into the risks, opportunities, and research challenges, ultimately paving the ...

We wrap up the call for formal analysis of the new security handshake protocol EDHOC by providing an overview of the protocol, a summary of the formal security analyses, and a discussion on open venues for future work.

We analyze the existing safety standard, ISO 26262, for automotive applications, determining the certifiability of machine learning (ML) approaches used in low-risk automotive applications. This can help assuring the security and safety of ML-based ...

IT is evolving new business models and ecosystems, such as on-demand ecologic mobility and artificial intelligence-based diagnostics. Devices are connected by the Internet of Things toward flexible services. Companies must converge competences to keep ...

This article combines Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) with zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) for edge networks. Several advantages are also highlighted that come with incorporating DAI into ZTP in the context of edge networks. Further, we draw ...

Industry is a leading application domain for the Internet of Things. The wide availability of industrial control systems (operational technology) combined with the Internet revolutionizes infrastructures and services, especially critical ones, providing ...

Northern Virginia holds the distinction of being recognized as the global hub of the Internet. Although the region’s data centers have yielded significant economic advantages, skeptics have voiced sustainability issues.

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) could potentially have a broader transformational effect than mere blockchain because they challenge the traditional notions of ownership and is, therefore, a more fundamental challenge to our established economic and social ...

This paper proposes a novel service-oriented integration paradigm for Internet of Video Things (referred to as Video as a Service), which orchestrates network slicing and utilizes multi-agent deep reinforcement learning to customize and maximize video ...

We propose a consensus mechanism based on the consistent hash algorithm for multiple master nodes. The consensus mechanism uses a consistent hash algorithm to select consensus group nodes and common nodes and further selects multiple master nodes on this ...

Ethereum is the single largest programmable blockchain platform today. Ethereum nodes operate the blockchain, relying on a vast supply chain of third-party software dependencies. In this article, we perform an analysis of the software supply chain of Java ...

In recent years, owing to important improvements, the applicability of supervisor synthesis has significantly increased. We discuss notable developments that were pivotal in the application of supervisor synthesis to large infrastructural systems.

We quantify and derive a general model for the collaboration stability of human mobility and demonstrate its importance for networking applications. Our results demonstrate that collaboration opportunities are highly dependent on the context where they ...

Recent years have witnessed an exponential growth of the commercial space industry, including rocket launch, satellite network deployment, private space travel, and even extraterrestrial colonization. Several trends are predicted in this unprecedented ...

We discuss the differences and commonalities between network technologies used in supercomputers and data centers and outline a path to convergence at multiple layers. We predict that emerging smart networking solutions will accelerate that convergence.

In the emerging era of transportation, the Internet of Vehicles envisions a large ecosystem where vehicles, traffic infrastructure, smart city sensors, and citizens will interoperate, providing safe and fast transportation services. How close are we to ...

A well-known fact is that Bitcoin’s blockchain maintenance using proof-of-work mining consumes a lot of energy. This article explains how this energy expense is inherent to Bitcoin’s design whose purpose is to induce a truly distributed peer-to-peer ...
