Fog computing is a new computational paradigm that emerged from the need to reduce network usage and latency in the Internet of Things (IoT). Fog can be considered as a continuum between the cloud layer and IoT users that allows the execution of applications or storage/processing of data in network infrastructure devices. The heterogeneity and wider distribution of fog devices are the key differences between cloud and fog infrastructure. Genetic-based optimization is commonly used in distributed systems; however, the differentiating features of fog computing require new designs, studies, and experimentation. The growing research in the field of genetic-based fog resource optimization and the lack of previous analysis in this field have encouraged us to present a comprehensive, exhaustive, and systematic review of the most recent research works. Resource optimization techniques in fog were examined and analyzed, with special emphasis on genetic-based solutions and their characteristics and design alternatives. We defined a classification of the optimization scope in fog infrastructures and used this optimization taxonomy to classify the 70 papers in this survey. Subsequently, the papers were assessed in terms of genetic optimization design. Finally, the benefits and limitations of each surveyed work are outlined in this paper. Based on these previous analyses of the relevant literature, future research directions were identified. We concluded that more research efforts are needed to address the current challenges in data management, workflow scheduling, and service placement. Additionally, there is still room for improved designs and deployments of parallel and hybrid genetic algorithms that leverage, and adapt to, the heterogeneity and distributed features of fog domains.

Cross-Blockchain communication has gained traction due to the increasing fragmentation of blockchain networks and scalability solutions such as side-chaining and sharding. With SmartSync, we propose a novel concept for cross-blockchain smart contract interactions that creates client contracts on arbitrary blockchain networks supporting the same execution environment. Client contracts mirror the logic and state of the original instance and enable seamless on-chain function executions providing recent states. Synchronized contracts supply instant read-only function calls to other applications hosted on the target blockchain. Hereby, current limitations in cross-chain communication are alleviated and new forms of contract interactions are enabled. State updates are transmitted in a verifiable manner using Merkle proofs and do not require trusted intermediaries. To permit lightweight synchronizations, we introduce transition confirmations that facilitate the application of verifiable state transitions without re-executing transactions of the source blockchain. We prove the concept's soundness by providing a prototypical implementation that enables smart contract forks, state synchronizations, and on-chain validation on EVM-compatible blockchains. Our evaluation demonstrates SmartSync's applicability for presented use cases providing access to recent states to third-party contracts on the target blockchain. Execution costs scale sub-linearly with the number of value updates and depend on the depth and index of corresponding Merkle proofs.

Fish tracking based on computer vision is a complex and challenging task in fishery production and ecological studies. Most of the applications of fish tracking use classic filtering algorithms, which lack in accuracy and efficiency. To solve this issue, deep learning methods utilized deep neural networks to extract the features, which achieve a good performance in the fish tracking. Some one-stage detection algorithms have gradually been adopted in this area for the real-time applications. The transfer learning to fish target is the current development direction. At present, fish tracking technology is not enough to cover actual application requirements. According to the literature data collected by us, there has not been any extensive review about vision-based fish tracking in the community. In this paper, we introduced the development and application prospects of fish tracking technology in last ten years. Firstly, we introduced the open source datasets of fish, and summarized the preprocessing technologies of underwater images. Secondly, we analyzed the detection and tracking algorithms for fish, and sorted out some transferable frontier tracking model. Thirdly, we listed the actual applications, metrics and bottlenecks of the fish tracking such as occlusion and multi-scale. Finally, we give the discussion for fish tracking datasets, solutions of the bottlenecks, and improvements. We expect that our work can help the fish tracking models to achieve higher accuracy and robustness.

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm enabled edge computing is envisioned to be promising in the sixth generation wireless communication networks due to their wide application sensories and flexible deployment. However, most of the existing works focus on edge computing enabled by a single or a small scale UAVs, which are very different from UAV swarm-enabled edge computing. In order to facilitate the practical applications of UAV swarm-enabled edge computing, the state of the art research is presented in this article. The potential applications, architectures and implementation considerations are illustrated. Moreover, the promising enabling technologies for UAV swarm-enabled edge computing are discussed. Furthermore, we outline challenges and open issues in order to shed light on the future research directions.

Organisations use issue tracking systems (ITSs) to store their project documentation in unit-like pieces called "issues". This style of documentation encourages evolutionary refinement, as each issue can be independently: improved, commented on, linked to other issues, and progressed through the organisational workflow. Common ITSs studied include GitHub, GitLab, and Bugzilla; however, these issue trackers have been the subject of much research, while Jira, a wealth of information with additional benefits, has yet to receive such attention. Unfortunately, no public dataset of Jira repositories exists, likely due to the difficulty in finding and accessing these repositories. With this dataset paper, we release a dataset of 16 public Jiras with 1822 projects, spanning 2.7 million issues with a combined total of 32 million changes, 8 million comments, and 1 million issue links. We believe this Jira dataset will lead to many fruitful research projects investigating issue evolution, issue linking, cross-project analysis, and cross-tool analysis with the existing well-studied ITSs listed above.

Owing to effective and flexible data acquisition, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has recently become a hotspot across the fields of computer vision (CV) and remote sensing (RS). Inspired by recent success of deep learning (DL), many advanced object detection and tracking approaches have been widely applied to various UAV-related tasks, such as environmental monitoring, precision agriculture, traffic management. This paper provides a comprehensive survey on the research progress and prospects of DL-based UAV object detection and tracking methods. More specifically, we first outline the challenges, statistics of existing methods, and provide solutions from the perspectives of DL-based models in three research topics: object detection from the image, object detection from the video, and object tracking from the video. Open datasets related to UAV-dominated object detection and tracking are exhausted, and four benchmark datasets are employed for performance evaluation using some state-of-the-art methods. Finally, prospects and considerations for the future work are discussed and summarized. It is expected that this survey can facilitate those researchers who come from remote sensing field with an overview of DL-based UAV object detection and tracking methods, along with some thoughts on their further developments.

AI is undergoing a paradigm shift with the rise of models (e.g., BERT, DALL-E, GPT-3) that are trained on broad data at scale and are adaptable to a wide range of downstream tasks. We call these models foundation models to underscore their critically central yet incomplete character. This report provides a thorough account of the opportunities and risks of foundation models, ranging from their capabilities (e.g., language, vision, robotics, reasoning, human interaction) and technical principles(e.g., model architectures, training procedures, data, systems, security, evaluation, theory) to their applications (e.g., law, healthcare, education) and societal impact (e.g., inequity, misuse, economic and environmental impact, legal and ethical considerations). Though foundation models are based on standard deep learning and transfer learning, their scale results in new emergent capabilities,and their effectiveness across so many tasks incentivizes homogenization. Homogenization provides powerful leverage but demands caution, as the defects of the foundation model are inherited by all the adapted models downstream. Despite the impending widespread deployment of foundation models, we currently lack a clear understanding of how they work, when they fail, and what they are even capable of due to their emergent properties. To tackle these questions, we believe much of the critical research on foundation models will require deep interdisciplinary collaboration commensurate with their fundamentally sociotechnical nature.

Edge intelligence refers to a set of connected systems and devices for data collection, caching, processing, and analysis in locations close to where data is captured based on artificial intelligence. The aim of edge intelligence is to enhance the quality and speed of data processing and protect the privacy and security of the data. Although recently emerged, spanning the period from 2011 to now, this field of research has shown explosive growth over the past five years. In this paper, we present a thorough and comprehensive survey on the literature surrounding edge intelligence. We first identify four fundamental components of edge intelligence, namely edge caching, edge training, edge inference, and edge offloading, based on theoretical and practical results pertaining to proposed and deployed systems. We then aim for a systematic classification of the state of the solutions by examining research results and observations for each of the four components and present a taxonomy that includes practical problems, adopted techniques, and application goals. For each category, we elaborate, compare and analyse the literature from the perspectives of adopted techniques, objectives, performance, advantages and drawbacks, etc. This survey article provides a comprehensive introduction to edge intelligence and its application areas. In addition, we summarise the development of the emerging research field and the current state-of-the-art and discuss the important open issues and possible theoretical and technical solutions.

Recently, the emergence of pre-trained models (PTMs) has brought natural language processing (NLP) to a new era. In this survey, we provide a comprehensive review of PTMs for NLP. We first briefly introduce language representation learning and its research progress. Then we systematically categorize existing PTMs based on a taxonomy with four perspectives. Next, we describe how to adapt the knowledge of PTMs to the downstream tasks. Finally, we outline some potential directions of PTMs for future research. This survey is purposed to be a hands-on guide for understanding, using, and developing PTMs for various NLP tasks.

The concept of smart grid has been introduced as a new vision of the conventional power grid to figure out an efficient way of integrating green and renewable energy technologies. In this way, Internet-connected smart grid, also called energy Internet, is also emerging as an innovative approach to ensure the energy from anywhere at any time. The ultimate goal of these developments is to build a sustainable society. However, integrating and coordinating a large number of growing connections can be a challenging issue for the traditional centralized grid system. Consequently, the smart grid is undergoing a transformation to the decentralized topology from its centralized form. On the other hand, blockchain has some excellent features which make it a promising application for smart grid paradigm. In this paper, we have an aim to provide a comprehensive survey on application of blockchain in smart grid. As such, we identify the significant security challenges of smart grid scenarios that can be addressed by blockchain. Then, we present a number of blockchain-based recent research works presented in different literatures addressing security issues in the area of smart grid. We also summarize several related practical projects, trials, and products that have been emerged recently. Finally, we discuss essential research challenges and future directions of applying blockchain to smart grid security issues.
