Scalable load balancing algorithms are of great interest in cloud networks and data centers, necessitating the use of tractable techniques to compute optimal load balancing policies for good performance. However, most existing scalable techniques, especially asymptotically scaling methods based on mean field theory, have not been able to model large queueing networks with strong locality. Meanwhile, general multi-agent reinforcement learning techniques can be hard to scale and usually lack a theoretical foundation. In this work, we address this challenge by leveraging recent advances in sparse mean field theory to learn a near-optimal load balancing policy in sparsely connected queueing networks in a tractable manner, which may be preferable to global approaches in terms of wireless communication overhead. Importantly, we obtain a general load balancing framework for a large class of sparse bounded-degree wireless topologies. By formulating a novel mean field control problem in the context of graphs with bounded degree, we reduce the otherwise difficult multi-agent problem to a single-agent problem. Theoretically, the approach is justified by approximation guarantees. Empirically, the proposed methodology performs well on several realistic and scalable wireless network topologies as compared to a number of well-known load balancing heuristics and existing scalable multi-agent reinforcement learning methods.

The widespread adoption of microservice architectures has given rise to a new set of software security challenges. These challenges stem from the unique features inherent in microservices. It is important to systematically assess and address software security challenges such as software security risk assessment. However, existing approaches prove inefficient in accurately evaluating the security risks associated with microservice architectures. To address this issue, we propose CyberWise Predictor, a framework designed for predicting and assessing security risks associated with microservice architectures. Our framework employs deep learning-based natural language processing models to analyze vulnerability descriptions for predicting vulnerability metrics to assess security risks. Our experimental evaluation shows the effectiveness of CyberWise Predictor, achieving an average accuracy of 92% in automatically predicting vulnerability metrics for new vulnerabilities. Our framework and findings serve as a guide for software developers to identify and mitigate security risks in microservice architectures.

A simultaneously transmitting and reflecting reconfigurable intelligent surface (STAR-RIS) assisted simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) system is proposed. More particularly, an STAR-RIS is deployed to assist in the information/power transfer from a multi-antenna access point (AP) to multiple single-antenna information users (IUs) and energy users (EUs), where two practical STAR-RIS operating protocols, namely energy splitting (ES) and time switching (TS), are employed. Under the imperfect channel state information (CSI) condition, a multi-objective optimization problem (MOOP) framework, that simultaneously maximizes the minimum data rate and minimum harvested power, is employed to investigate the fundamental rate-energy trade-off between IUs and EUs. To obtain the optimal robust resource allocation strategy, the MOOP is first transformed into a single-objective optimization problem (SOOP) via the {\epsilon}-constraint method, which is then reformulated by approximating semi-infinite inequality constraints with the S-procedure. For ES, an alternating optimization (AO)-based algorithm is proposed to jointly design AP active beamforming and STAR-RIS passive beamforming, where a penalty method is leveraged in STAR-RIS beamforming design. Furthermore, the developed algorithm is extended to optimize the time allocation policy and beamforming vectors in a two-layer iterative manner for TS. Numerical results reveal that: 1) deploying STAR-RISs achieves a significant performance gain over conventional RISs, especially in terms of harvested power for EUs; 2) the ES protocol obtains a better user fairness performance when focusing only on IUs or EUs, while the TS protocol yields a better balance between IUs and EUs; 3) the imperfect CSI affects IUs more significantly than EUs, whereas TS can confer a more robust design to attenuate these effects.

In cellular networks, it can become necessary for authorities to physically locate user devices for tracking criminals or illegal devices. While cellular operators can provide authorities with cell information the device is camping on, fine-grained localization is still required. Therefore, the authorized agents trace the device by monitoring its uplink signals. However, tracking the uplink signal source without its cooperation is challenging even for operators and authorities. Particularly, three challenges remain for fine-grained localization: i) localization works only if devices generate enough uplink traffic reliably over time, ii) the target device might generate its uplink traffic with significantly low power, and iii) cellular repeater may add too much noise to true uplink signals. While these challenges present practical hurdles for localization, they have been overlooked in prior works. In this work, we investigate the impact of these real-world challenges on cellular localization and propose an Uncooperative Multiangulation Attack (UMA) that addresses these challenges. UMA can 1) force a target device to transmit traffic continuously, 2) boost the target's signal strength to the maximum, and 3) uniquely distinguish traffic from the target and the repeaters. Notably, the UMA technique works without privilege on cellular operators or user devices, which makes it operate on any LTE network. Our evaluations show that UMA effectively resolves the challenges in real-world environments when devices are not cooperative for localization. Our approach exploits the current cellular design vulnerabilities, which we have responsibly disclosed to GSMA.

Predicting the performance of various infrastructure design options in complex federated infrastructures with computing sites distributed over a wide area network that support a plethora of users and workflows, such as the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG), is not trivial. Due to the complexity and size of these infrastructures, it is not feasible to deploy experimental test-beds at large scales merely for the purpose of comparing and evaluating alternate designs. An alternative is to study the behaviours of these systems using simulation. This approach has been used successfully in the past to identify efficient and practical infrastructure designs for High Energy Physics (HEP). A prominent example is the Monarc simulation framework, which was used to study the initial structure of the WLCG. New simulation capabilities are needed to simulate large-scale heterogeneous computing systems with complex networks, data access and caching patterns. A modern tool to simulate HEP workloads that execute on distributed computing infrastructures based on the SimGrid and WRENCH simulation frameworks is outlined. Studies of its accuracy and scalability are presented using HEP as a case-study. Hypothetical adjustments to prevailing computing architectures in HEP are studied providing insights into the dynamics of a part of the WLCG and candidates for improvements.

This paper studies causal inference with observational network data. A challenging aspect of this setting is the possibility of interference in both potential outcomes and selection into treatment, for example due to peer effects in either stage. We therefore consider a nonparametric setup in which both stages are reduced forms of simultaneous-equations models. This results in high-dimensional network confounding, where the network and covariates of all units constitute sources of selection bias. The literature predominantly assumes that confounding can be summarized by a known, low-dimensional function of these objects, and it is unclear what selection models justify common choices of functions. We show that graph neural networks (GNNs) are well suited to adjust for high-dimensional network confounding. We establish a network analog of approximate sparsity under primitive conditions on interference. This demonstrates that the model has low-dimensional structure that makes estimation feasible and justifies the use of shallow GNN architectures.

Network slicing, a cornerstone technology for future networks, enables the creation of customized virtual networks on a shared physical infrastructure. This fosters innovation and agility by providing dedicated resources tailored to specific applications. However, current orchestration and management approaches face limitations in handling the complexity of new service demands within multi-administrative domain environments. This paper proposes a future vision for network slicing powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) and multi-agent systems, offering a framework that can be integrated with existing Management and Orchestration (MANO) frameworks. This framework leverages LLMs to translate user intent into technical requirements, map network functions to infrastructure, and manage the entire slice lifecycle, while multi-agent systems facilitate collaboration across different administrative domains. We also discuss the challenges associated with implementing this framework and potential solutions to mitigate them.

The overall objective of the main project is to propose and develop a system of facial authentication in unlocking phones or applications in phones using facial recognition. The system will include four separate architectures: face detection, face recognition, face spoofing, and classification of closed eyes. In which, we consider the problem of face recognition to be the most important, determining the true identity of the person standing in front of the screen with absolute accuracy is what facial recognition systems need to achieve. Along with the development of the face recognition problem, the problem of the anti-fake face is also gradually becoming popular and equally important. Our goal is to propose and develop two loss functions: LMCot and Double Loss. Then apply them to the face authentication process.

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.

To solve the information explosion problem and enhance user experience in various online applications, recommender systems have been developed to model users preferences. Although numerous efforts have been made toward more personalized recommendations, recommender systems still suffer from several challenges, such as data sparsity and cold start. In recent years, generating recommendations with the knowledge graph as side information has attracted considerable interest. Such an approach can not only alleviate the abovementioned issues for a more accurate recommendation, but also provide explanations for recommended items. In this paper, we conduct a systematical survey of knowledge graph-based recommender systems. We collect recently published papers in this field and summarize them from two perspectives. On the one hand, we investigate the proposed algorithms by focusing on how the papers utilize the knowledge graph for accurate and explainable recommendation. On the other hand, we introduce datasets used in these works. Finally, we propose several potential research directions in this field.
