This manuscript presents a semantic-web–enhanced hybrid learning framework for university career planning, embedding ontology-driven modelling and knowledge-graph representation into AI-based recommendation. The framework (i) constructs a domain ontology to organize skills, roles, and behavioral features, (ii) applies natural language processing to curate and semantically align heterogeneous resources, (iii) integrates a gradient-boosted decision tree for skill-to-role matching with a transformer-based sequence model for progression forecasting, and (iv) employs a closed-loop optimization that updates ontology weights and model parameters from longitudinal outcomes. An interpretable recommendation interface provides semantic rationales to support counsellor–student dialogue, while governance measures incorporate privacy-by-design and role-based access control. In deployment with 800 final-year students, the system improved first-round interview hit rate by 27% and six-month job satisfaction by 22% compared with a matched control cohort. Ablation confirms the complementary value of structured academic records and unstructured behavioral logs.

In practical validation on a provincial power trading platform, this protocol outperformed traditional solutions in key metrics such as quantum security strength, protocol conversion delay, consensus convergence efficiency, and anomaly detection accuracy, demonstrating superior dynamic adaptability, attack resistance, and system compatibility.

A bidirectional gatedrecurrent unit (BiGRU) algorithm combined with an attention mechanism called the BiGRU-Att emotion classification algorithm was proposed to classify positive and negative public opinions. The negative public opinions were used to form time series data. A BiGRU-Att-Kalman filtering algorithm was designed to predict the spread of negative public opinions. It was found that the BiGRU-Att algorithm exhibited an F1 value of 0.9248 in sentiment classification, outperforming classification algorithms such as support vector machine.

MATLAB simulations under mixed urban arterial (60%) and highway (40%) scenarios reveal that platoon spacing errors increase from 0.1 m to 0.78 m as delays rise from 0 ms to 8 ms, with speed errors reaching 0.6 m/s and acceleration fluctuations widening to [−4.8, 2.2] m/s<sup>2</sup> at a 30% packet loss rate. Notably, the proposed Bernoulli-based delay model improves scenario fitting accuracy by 23% compared to static models, while an RTP-aware adaptive controller reduces acceleration fluctuations by 41 % under high loss conditions.

Traditional transmission protocols struggle to balance low latency and high stability in dynamic scenarios. In response to this challenge, this paper proposes a low latency adaptive communication protocol (MLACP), which constructs a multilayer control system consisting of a physical access layer, a resource scheduling layer, and an adaptive decision layer. Through a cross layer feedback mechanism combined with RNN based short-term state prediction and DQN based strategy optimization, dynamic adjustment of resource slicing, distributed collaboration, and path selection is achieved. The protocol design is implemented in the system level simulation environment of a 3GPP UMi SC channel model and a Poisson cluster process, and integrated with ZeroMQ and PyTorch on the NS-3.36 platform. The experiment covered different user densities and link states, with each scenario running independently 10 times and taking the average. The results showed that under high-density conditions of 1500 UE/km<sup>2</sup>, MLACP outperformed TCP Reno, QUIC, and the URLLC simplification scheme in terms of end-to-end latency, peak throughput, packet loss rate, path stability, and energy consumption. Moreover, it maintained controllable performance degradation in robustness tests such as link interruption, prediction bias, and base station failure. This result validates the feasibility and adaptability of the proposed protocol in dynamic and interference complex UDN environments, providing methodological references and an experimental basis for the design of low latency and intelligent communication systems.","PeriodicalId":36697,"journal":{"name":"Journal of ICT Standardization","volume":"13 2","pages":"157-180"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11267159","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145584679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this transformation has outpaced the development of interoperable and secure interface standards. Existing regulatory frameworks like PSD2 and Open Banking have initiated progress through data-sharing APIs, but practical deployments remain fragmented due to proprietary implementations, incompatible schemas, and insufficient governance across multi-actor environments. This paper addresses the critical gap in interface-level standardization by proposing a novel, layered architecture: the standardized interface frame-work for intelligent financial platforms (SIFFP). SIFFP integrates acquisition, knowledge, interoperability, intelligent service, and support layers, drawing inspiration from IoT architectural paradigms while tailoring them to the specific demands of financial systems. The framework is validated through a comprehensive proof-of-concept deployment in an e-commerce context, showcasing a working API suite (e.g., /loan/apply, /payment, /risk/analyze) with embedded metadata covering security (OAuth 2.0, mTLS), compliance (ISO 20022, Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS)), and schema formats (JSON/XML). Interoperability assessments demonstrate full compatibility with ISO/IEC 19941, and performance benchmarks confirm low-latency transaction processing under concurrent user conditions. Moreover, the work introduces a stakeholder-standards heatmap and standards lifecycle mapping, aligning the framework with pre-standardization best practices and demonstrating its readiness for engagement with formal standards bodies. By bridging theoretical architecture with implementation, SIFFP provides a scalable, extensible, and regulatorily aligned foundation for next-generation financial platforms. This research contributes not only a blueprint for modular financial system design but also a concrete pathway to de facto and formal standard development, laying the groundwork for future interoperability in embedded lending, insurance, and open finance ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":36697,"journal":{"name":"Journal of ICT Standardization","volume":"13 2","pages":"181-210"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11267163","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145584636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
