In this paper, we propose an opportunistic user scheduling scheme in a multi-user reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) aided wireless system to improve secrecy. We derive the secrecy outage probability (SOP) and its asymptotic expression in approximate closed form. The asymptotic analysis shows that the SOP does not depend on the transmitter-to-RIS distance and saturates to a fixed value depending on the ratio of the path loss of the RIS-to-destination and RIS-to-eavesdropper links and the number of users at high signal-to-noise ratio. It is shown that increasing the number of RIS elements leads to an exponential decrease in the SOP. We also compare our scheme with that of a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) scheduling scheme, which chooses a pair of users to schedule in each time slot. The comparison shows that the SOP of all of the NOMA users is compromised, and that our proposed scheduling scheme has better performance.

This paper proposes to learn Multi-task, Multi-modal Direct Acyclic Graphs (MM-DAGs), which are commonly observed in complex systems, e.g., traffic, manufacturing, and weather systems, whose variables are multi-modal with scalars, vectors, and functions. This paper takes the traffic congestion analysis as a concrete case, where a traffic intersection is usually regarded as a DAG. In a road network of multiple intersections, different intersections can only have some overlapping and distinct variables observed. For example, a signalized intersection has traffic light-related variables, whereas unsignalized ones do not. This encourages the multi-task design: with each DAG as a task, the MM-DAG tries to learn the multiple DAGs jointly so that their consensus and consistency are maximized. To this end, we innovatively propose a multi-modal regression for linear causal relationship description of different variables. Then we develop a novel Causality Difference (CD) measure and its differentiable approximator. Compared with existing SOTA measures, CD can penalize the causal structural difference among DAGs with distinct nodes and can better consider the uncertainty of causal orders. We rigidly prove our design's topological interpretation and consistency properties. We conduct thorough simulations and one case study to show the effectiveness of our MM-DAG.

In federated learning (FL), distributed clients can collaboratively train a shared global model while retaining their own training data locally. Nevertheless, the performance of FL is often limited by the slow convergence due to poor communications links when FL is deployed over wireless networks. Due to the scarceness of radio resources, it is crucial to select clients precisely and allocate communication resource accurately for enhancing FL performance. To address these challenges, in this paper, a joint optimization problem of client selection and resource allocation is formulated, aiming to minimize the total time consumption of each round in FL over a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) enabled wireless network. Specifically, considering the staleness of the local FL models, we propose an age of update (AoU) based novel client selection scheme. Subsequently, the closed-form expressions for resource allocation are derived by monotonicity analysis and dual decomposition method. In addition, a server-side artificial neural network (ANN) is proposed to predict the FL models of clients who are not selected at each round to further improve FL performance. Finally, extensive simulation results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed schemes over FL performance, average AoU and total time consumption.

Centrality measures are fundamental tools of network analysis as they highlight the key actors within the network. This study focuses on a newly proposed centrality measure, Expected Force (EF), and its use in identifying spreaders in network-based epidemic models. We found that EF effectively predicts the spreading power of nodes and identifies key nodes and immunization targets. However, its high computational cost presents a challenge for its use in large networks. To overcome this limitation, we propose two parallel scalable algorithms for computing EF scores: the first algorithm is based on the original formulation, while the second one focuses on a cluster-centric approach to improve efficiency and scalability. Our implementations significantly reduce computation time, allowing for the detection of key nodes at large scales. Performance analysis on synthetic and real-world networks demonstrates that the GPU implementation of our algorithm can efficiently scale to networks with up to 44 million edges by exploiting modern parallel architectures, achieving speed-ups of up to 300x, and 50x on average, compared to the simple parallel solution.

Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-empowered communication is an emerging technology that has recently received growing attention as a potential candidate for next-generation wireless communications. Although RISs have shown the potential of manipulating the wireless channel through passive beamforming, it is shown that they can also bring undesired side effects, such as reflecting the electromagnetic interference (EMI) from the surrounding environment to the receiver side. In this study, we propose a novel EMI cancellation scheme to mitigate the impact of the EMI by exploiting its special time-domain structure and considering a clever passive beamforming method at the RIS. Compared to its benchmark, computer simulations show that the proposed scheme achieves superior performance in terms of the average signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and outage probability (OP), especially when the EMI power is comparable to the power of the information signal impinging on the RIS surface.

We provide an analytical characterization of the coverage region of simultaneously transmitting and reflecting reconfigurable intelligent surface (STAR-RIS)-aided two-user downlink communication systems. The cases of orthogonal multiple access (OMA) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) are considered, under the energy-splitting (ES) protocol. Results confirm that the use of STAR-RISs is beneficial to extend the coverage region, and that the use of NOMA provides a better performance compared to the OMA counterpart.

Games and simulators can be a valuable platform to execute complex multi-agent, multiplayer, imperfect information scenarios with significant parallels to military applications: multiple participants manage resources and make decisions that command assets to secure specific areas of a map or neutralize opposing forces. These characteristics have attracted the artificial intelligence (AI) community by supporting development of algorithms with complex benchmarks and the capability to rapidly iterate over new ideas. The success of artificial intelligence algorithms in real-time strategy games such as StarCraft II have also attracted the attention of the military research community aiming to explore similar techniques in military counterpart scenarios. Aiming to bridge the connection between games and military applications, this work discusses past and current efforts on how games and simulators, together with the artificial intelligence algorithms, have been adapted to simulate certain aspects of military missions and how they might impact the future battlefield. This paper also investigates how advances in virtual reality and visual augmentation systems open new possibilities in human interfaces with gaming platforms and their military parallels.

Vast amount of data generated from networks of sensors, wearables, and the Internet of Things (IoT) devices underscores the need for advanced modeling techniques that leverage the spatio-temporal structure of decentralized data due to the need for edge computation and licensing (data access) issues. While federated learning (FL) has emerged as a framework for model training without requiring direct data sharing and exchange, effectively modeling the complex spatio-temporal dependencies to improve forecasting capabilities still remains an open problem. On the other hand, state-of-the-art spatio-temporal forecasting models assume unfettered access to the data, neglecting constraints on data sharing. To bridge this gap, we propose a federated spatio-temporal model -- Cross-Node Federated Graph Neural Network (CNFGNN) -- which explicitly encodes the underlying graph structure using graph neural network (GNN)-based architecture under the constraint of cross-node federated learning, which requires that data in a network of nodes is generated locally on each node and remains decentralized. CNFGNN operates by disentangling the temporal dynamics modeling on devices and spatial dynamics on the server, utilizing alternating optimization to reduce the communication cost, facilitating computations on the edge devices. Experiments on the traffic flow forecasting task show that CNFGNN achieves the best forecasting performance in both transductive and inductive learning settings with no extra computation cost on edge devices, while incurring modest communication cost.

Heterogeneous graph neural networks (HGNNs) as an emerging technique have shown superior capacity of dealing with heterogeneous information network (HIN). However, most HGNNs follow a semi-supervised learning manner, which notably limits their wide use in reality since labels are usually scarce in real applications. Recently, contrastive learning, a self-supervised method, becomes one of the most exciting learning paradigms and shows great potential when there are no labels. In this paper, we study the problem of self-supervised HGNNs and propose a novel co-contrastive learning mechanism for HGNNs, named HeCo. Different from traditional contrastive learning which only focuses on contrasting positive and negative samples, HeCo employs cross-viewcontrastive mechanism. Specifically, two views of a HIN (network schema and meta-path views) are proposed to learn node embeddings, so as to capture both of local and high-order structures simultaneously. Then the cross-view contrastive learning, as well as a view mask mechanism, is proposed, which is able to extract the positive and negative embeddings from two views. This enables the two views to collaboratively supervise each other and finally learn high-level node embeddings. Moreover, two extensions of HeCo are designed to generate harder negative samples with high quality, which further boosts the performance of HeCo. Extensive experiments conducted on a variety of real-world networks show the superior performance of the proposed methods over the state-of-the-arts.

Events are happening in real-world and real-time, which can be planned and organized occasions involving multiple people and objects. Social media platforms publish a lot of text messages containing public events with comprehensive topics. However, mining social events is challenging due to the heterogeneous event elements in texts and explicit and implicit social network structures. In this paper, we design an event meta-schema to characterize the semantic relatedness of social events and build an event-based heterogeneous information network (HIN) integrating information from external knowledge base, and propose a novel Pair-wise Popularity Graph Convolutional Network (PP-GCN) based fine-grained social event categorization model. We propose a Knowledgeable meta-paths Instances based social Event Similarity (KIES) between events and build a weighted adjacent matrix as input to the PP-GCN model. Comprehensive experiments on real data collections are conducted to compare various social event detection and clustering tasks. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed framework outperforms other alternative social event categorization techniques.
