This surge in data has created new opportunities to enhance the quality of service in machine learning applications within the IIoT through data sharing. Among these applications, anomaly detection in transaction networks utilizing graph neural networks (GNNs) has emerged as a prominent research topic. However, most current anomaly detection methods either focus exclusively on single-faceted transaction information or assume that multiple types of transaction network data are centrally stored or shared. In the field of IIoT scenario, privacy concerns and legal restrictions frequently hinder data centralization, resulting in data islands, which refer to decentralized multisource transaction information.

Specifically, the training process is bifurcated: client-side privacy temporal transaction network feature extraction is conducted locally at its corresponding client, while privacy-protected feature aggregation from all clients occurs on a trusted server. To facilitate more effective anomaly detection, each client initially models edge features and temporal transaction information as node attributes, along with network snapshots for subsequent graph feature computation with GNNs. During the integration process, the server integrates the node-level embedding and computes multisource transaction network features from all clients following a differential privacy mechanism to ensure client-side data security.

Previous research primarily equated actual bike usage with demand and focused on cost-efficiency, which overlooks unmet demand and system-wide optimization. This study proposes a comprehensive framework to optimize FFBS availability at URT stations, particularly during peak hours, through 1) demand prediction, 2) time-based scheduling, 3) priority scheduling strategy, and 4) system-wide optimization. The proposed method incorporates URT ridership as a pivotal feature to enhance the accuracy of bike-sharing demand prediction in URT transfer scenarios. To achieve bike-scheduling benefits, this study introduces a grid-based approach to convert ride data into predictive orders for bike scheduling, measuring time savings across transit modes. Additionally, a prioritization strategy for bike redistribution is designed based on the classification of bus routes around URT stations, ensuring a balanced integration of FFBS and other public transport modes. A multi-objective optimization model is designed to minimize operating costs and maximize passenger time savings, which is addressed with the NSGA-III algorithm. A numerical study using Shenzhen’s public transportation data reveals that prioritizing selected stations leads to a 19.4% greater average time savings per order compared to non-priority stations, along with a 7.60% reduction in total passenger travel time.

This study addresses these challenges through integrating oncologist consultation and chemotherapy scheduling by determining appointment times for a daily list of patients. A two-stage stochastic mixed-integer programming model is developed, considering stochastic factors such as infusion durations and the statuses of chemotherapy treatment approvals after consultations. In the first stage of the model, patients of each oncologist are organized in a sequence, and appointment times are set. In the second stage, patients are assigned to chairs and nurses using an optimal myopic policy. The objective function penalizes the expected weighted sum of the total working time of the OCC and the waiting times of patients. To represent the original scenario set by a reduced scenario set, a scenario reduction algorithm is employed. The algorithm, a Wasserstein Distance-Based Local Search Algorithm (WD-LSA), is tested using real data from a major academic oncology hospital in Turkey. The performance of the WD-LSA algorithm is demonstrated by comparing with CPLEX for smaller number of scenarios and with heuristic algorithms for larger number of scenarios. We find that the gap is quite small when compared with CPLEX solutions and the solutions are much better than the solutions found by the practical scheduling heuristics from the literature. The trade-off between patient waiting time and total working time is assessed. The dependency of the performance measures to the number of oncologists and nurses is investigated.

This paper presents a novel integration of decentralized smart lockers into crowdshipping operations, uniquely leveraging their excess capacity as ad hoc transshipment points to improve delivery networks. Specifically, parcels are transferred via smart lockers by one or more crowdshippers, reducing trip detours and expanding geographical coverage. Unlike prior studies, our approach eliminates the need for time-synchronized parcel handovers, significantly enhancing operational flexibility. A mixed-integer programming (MIP) model is developed to optimize driver-parcel assignments and routing for the entire system without imposing a single-transshipment assumption. However, to address scalability challenges in large instances, we introduce a rolling-horizon framework and two tailored column-generation algorithms—complete (CCG) and greedy (GCG)—which assume at most one transshipment per parcel. In experiments with 900 drivers and 300 parcels, the CCG achieves exact solutions in 20 min under this assumption, while the GCG demonstrates a 12.1% cost reduction with a 1–2% optimality gap, requiring significantly less computation time. Although the MIP and rolling-horizon models can only solve smaller instances, they validate the effectiveness of the algorithms.

In the aggregation phase, a regret theory-based expert weight determination model is constructed to derive the weights of experts, and the individual decision matrices provided by individual experts are further aggregated into a collective decision matrix. Then, the heterogeneous information in the collective decision matrix is uniformly converted into intervals, which are represented as variables with unknown parameters.
