AI Article Synopsis
- Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) enable a flexible separation between hardware and network functions, moving away from traditional, rigid vendor-dependent systems.
- With VNFs, network operations can be dynamically deployed, scaled, and integrated much like cloud computing, enhancing efficiency and responsiveness.
- The text presents a new blockchain design that aims to resolve the incompatibility issues of existing blockchain systems in elastic environments, proposing a temporal blockchain based on federated byzantine agreement that can function as a VNF for 5G networks.
Article Abstract
Virtual Network Functions allow the effective separation between hardware and network functionality, a strong paradigm shift from previously tightly integrated monolithic, vendor, and technology dependent deployments. In this virtualized paradigm, all aspects of network operations can be made to deploy on demand, dynamically scale, as well as be shared and interworked in ways that mirror behaviors of general cloud computing. To date, although seeing rising demand, distributed ledger technology remains largely incompatible in such elastic deployments, by its nature as functioning as an immutable record store. This work focuses on the structural incompatibility of current blockchain designs and proposes a novel, temporal blockchain design built atop federated byzantine agreement, which has the ability to dynamically scale and be packaged as a Virtual Network Function (VNF) for the 5G Core.

Accurate measurement of the vibrotactile acuities of the human torso is the key to designing effective torso-worn vibrotactile displays for healthcare applications such as navigation aids for visually impaired persons. Although efforts have been made to measure vibrotactile acuities, there remains a lack of systematic studies addressing the spatial, temporal, and intensity-related aspects of vibrotactile sensitivity on the human torso. In this work, a torso-worn vibrotactile belt consisting of two crossed coin motor arrays was designed and a psychophysical study was carried out to measure the spatial, temporal, and intensity-related vibrotactile acuities of a set of human subjects wearing the designed belt.

Accurate recognition of tool state is important for maximizing tool life. However, the tool sensor data collected in real-life scenarios has unbalanced characteristics. Additionally, although graph neural networks (GNNs) show excellent performance in feature extraction in the spatial dimension of data, it is difficult to extract features in the temporal dimension efficiently.

The complexity of fMRI signals quantifies temporal dynamics of spontaneous neural activity, which has been increasingly recognized as providing important insights into cognitive functions and psychiatric disorders. However, its heritability and structural underpinnings are not well understood. Here, we utilize multi-scale sample entropy to extract resting-state fMRI complexity in a large healthy adult sample from the Human Connectome Project.

Background: Computational intelligence (CI) based prediction models increase the efficient and effective utilization of resources for wind prediction. However, the traditional recurrent neural networks (RNN) are difficult to train on data having long-term temporal dependencies, thus susceptible to an inherent problem of vanishing gradient. This work proposed a method based on an advanced version of RNN known as long short-term memory (LSTM) architecture, which updates recurrent weights to overcome the vanishing gradient problem.
