While parameter freezing has emerged as a popular approach, utilizing fine-grained parameters as aggregation objects, existing methods suffer from issues such as a lack of thawing strategy, lag and inflexibility in the thawing process, and underutilization of frozen parameters’ updates. To address these challenges, we propose Gradient-Wise Parameter Freezing (GWPF), a mechanism that wisely controls frozen periods for different parameters through parameter freezing and thawing strategies. GWPF globally freezes parameters with insignificant gradients and excludes frozen parameters from global updates during the frozen period, reducing communication overhead and accelerating training. The thawing strategy, based on global decisions by the server and collaboration with clients, leverages real-time feedback on the locally accumulated gradients of frozen parameters in each round, achieving a balanced approach between mitigating communication and enhancing model accuracy. We provide theoretical analysis and a convergence guarantee for non-convex objectives. Extensive experiments confirm that our mechanism achieves a speedup of up to 4.52 times in time-to-accuracy performance and reduces communication overhead by up to 48.73%. It also improves final model accuracy by up to 2.01% compared to the existing fastest method APF.

Current research emphasizes maintaining communication quality while minimizing total energy consumption and optimizing UAV flight trajectories. However, several issues remain: First, the energy consumption objective function lacks comprehensiveness, neglecting the impact of UAV flight energy consumption; second, an effective Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) algorithm has not been employed to address the non-convexity of the objective function; third, there is insufficient discussion regarding the practical significance of the proposed approach. To address these issues, this paper formulates an objective function aimed at minimizing MEC energy consumption by considering task offloading decisions, communication delays, computational energy consumption, and UAV flight energy consumption. We propose a Population Diversity-based Particle Swarm Optimization-Double Delay Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (PDPSO-TD3) algorithm to find the optimal solution, enhance UAV flight trajectories through optimized offloading decisions, ensure efficient communication, and minimize the total energy consumption of the MEC system. Furthermore, we discuss the practical applicability of PDPSO-TD3 in detail and present the proposed scheme. Experimental results demonstrate that compared to the Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) algorithm, for transmission delay, MEC energy consumption, UAV flight energy consumption, and User Equipments (UEs) access rate metrics.

Few deep learning based solutions that are proposed, have not explored its alternatives and existing data modalities in data centers, resulting in inefficient models. Existing literature only proposes solutions based on unimodal tabular data. Therefore, we propose a multimodal architecture that considers different underlying data modalities in data centers to increase the model’s efficiency and predict correct server temperatures. The increasing production of data and the need for storage and processing units has led to the development of distributed data centers. Existing techniques are limited to individual data centers which fail to consider the data privacy restrictions that arise while dealing with distributed scenarios. Findings from our simulations affirm our proposed scheme in terms of the objectives mentioned above. We propose a federated learning architecture that efficiently deals with distributed data centers while ensuring privacy.

This innovation aims to facilitate logical resource allocation, accommodating the anticipated surge in network resource requirements. This will harness automatic processing, scheduling, and orchestration for efficient management. To overcome the challenge of managing network resources under heavy demand, slice providers need to leverage both artificial intelligence and slice admission control strategies. While 5G network resources can be allocated to maintain a slice, the logical allocation and real-time network evaluation must be continuously examined and adjusted if network resilience is to be maintained. The complex task of leveraging slice admission control to maintain 5G network resilience has not been fully investigated. To tackle this problem, we propose a machine learning approach for slice admission control and resource allocation optimization so as to maintain network resilience. Machine learning algorithms offer a powerful tool for making robust and autonomous decisions, which are crucial for effective slice admission control. By intelligently allocating resources based on real-time demand and network conditions, these algorithms can help ensure long-term network resilience and achieve key objectives. While various machine learning algorithms hold promise for 5G resource management and admission control, reinforcement learning (RL) has emerged as a particularly exciting solution. Its ability to mimic human learning processes makes it a versatile solution, well-suited to tackle the complex challenges of network control. To fill this gap, we propose a new technique known as sequential twin actor critic (STAC).

This gap underscores the urgent need for designing and implementing robust incentive mechanisms in redactable blockchains. Incentive mechanisms can motivate and guide entities to participate and perform desired behaviors through awards and punishments. This paper proposes Concordit, the first deployable credit-based incentive mechanism for redactable blockchains. Its purpose is to encourage submitters to submit legal redaction requests, modifiers to perform legal redaction operations, and verifiers to maintain the behavior consistent with the consensus algorithm. In the context of permissioned blockchains, Concordit utilizes a credit value system for awards and punishments. Additionally, we use a game theory-based mechanism to analyze and model participants’ behavior utilities in the redactable blockchain. Meanwhile, we evaluate the credibility of nodes by combining their static initial credit values and dynamic behavior-related credit values. This system prioritizes high-credibility nodes as participants, thereby enhancing the completion rate for redaction tasks.
