However, the outsourced industrial data in remote cloud contain strongly sensitive information of manufacturing and are essential for decisions with analysis. Unauthorized access by malicious users or even destruction to these data will cause severe privacy leakage or manufacturing negligence. Thus, access control, privacy preserving and data integrity are of great significance to industrial data sharing in Cloud-assisted IIoT. Although Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE) is a powerful tool for cloud data sharing, it incurs several limitations when used in industry field. Many existing schemes lack the ability to deal with data integrity violation, malicious user revocation and user privacy leakage of cleartext access policy simultaneously. Meanwhile, the key escrow is also an important security risk. As a countermeasure, in this paper, we propose an Auditable and Privacy Preserving Data Sharing Framework (APPD) for Cloud-assisted IIoT. In our framework, we devise a novel decentralized CP-ABE scheme with large universe and data auditing to achieve both fine-grained access control with key escrow resistance over unbounded attributes and data integrity guarantee. The full policy hiding and user revocation mechanisms are employed to prevent user privacy from being leaked by access policy and malicious users. At last, we present detailed formal security analysis for our proposal and the thorough performance assessment also demonstrates its feasible in IIoT application.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55975,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Information Integration","volume":"51 ","pages":"Article 101084"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146110394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first-layer interpretable paradigm (FLIP) embeds human prior knowledge into smart equipment, which is one of intelligent paradigms guided by customized manufacturing and embodied intelligence. It consists of first-layer interpretable modules, backbones, loss metrics. However, existing efforts rely on single-source information, an absence of interpretable backbones, an inability to feature fusion, thereby struggling with multi-excitation, coupled signals. To bridge this gap, a FLIP-based one-stage multi-view capsule fusion network (PIFCapsule) is proposed. Firstly, a signal processing prior-empowered first-layer interpretable module is devised to realize automatic parameter optimization and highlight the complementarity between multi-view features from different signal processing algorithms. Secondly, an interpretable capsule network serves as the backbone. To overcome the inefficiency and shortage of information fusion, an efficient attention fusion routing (AFR) is proposed to reduce the parameters (about 5.72 times) and the complexity (about 2.93 times) in contrast to the vanilla capsule-based networks. In response to the lack of physics-based constraints during training, a noise threshold amplitude ratio (NTAR) is posed as a regularization, which enhances weak periodic transient pulses by suppressing learned noises. The effectiveness and reliability are verified through three real-world rail transit vehicle datasets: PIFCapsule outperforms the state-of-the-art by 6.77% in accuracy with only ten samples. Given the lightweight nature, it holds substantial promise to be deployed in intelligent edge devices.

Through a mixed-methods analysis of 419 cross-border e-commerce firms employing structural equation modeling, importance-performance mapping, fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis, and executive interviews, we uncover counterintuitive dynamics in human-technology information integration. Results demonstrate that AI agent autonomy enhances operational transparency and reduces algorithmic dehumanization by creating audit-ready information architectures and filtering impersonal computational tasks from human-centric work. However, human-centric governance mechanisms introduce bureaucratic friction that paradoxically weakens these positive integration effects. We identify two mechanisms—\"enlightened autonomy,\" wherein sophisticated systems necessitate built-in information traceability, and \"humanity-enabling filters,\" wherein automation redirects human attention toward relational tasks. These findings challenge prevailing assumptions about AI opacity in industrial information systems and reveal that governance structures intended to safeguard ethical integration may inadvertently undermine the benefits of advanced industrial informatization.

To address these challenges, we propose FedAHPIP, a federated learning framework that integrates secure aggregation with personalized learning. Our approach includes an adaptive hot parameter identification mechanism that dynamically identifies sensitive parameters (hot parameters) based on their update momentum, layer semantics, and potential label leakage risks. By focusing encryption on these hot parameters, FedAHPIP drastically reduces the privacy leakage surface. We also develop a personalized anchoring strategy that allows each agent to retain its critical parameters while assimilating knowledge from the global model, effectively balancing personalization and collaboration.

First, a three-dimensional semantic graph is constructed from BIM data by integrating geometric, topological, and attribute information to explicitly represent relationships such as containment, embedding, and contact among components. Then, an enhanced GraphSAGE model is employed to learn implicit precedence dependencies, replacing static rule templates and improving the adaptability and generalization of scheduling logic. Furthermore, a Dynamic Layering Scheduling Algorithm (DLSA) is designed to exploit spatial adjacency and parallel constructability, enabling structured and controllable scheduling.
