agroString: Visibility and Provenance through a Private Blockchain Platform for Agricultural Dispense towards Consumers

Article discusses the large quantities of farm and meat products that rot and are wasted if correct actions are not taken leading to serious health concerns if consumed. Because there is no proper system for tracking and communicating the status of goods to consumers, a right which according to the authors should be a given, they propose a method of increased communication using Corda private blockchain.

Autoencoder Composite Scoring to Evaluate Prosthetic Performance in Individuals with Lower Limb Amputation (open access)

Autoencoder Composite Scoring to Evaluate Prosthetic Performance in Individuals with Lower Limb Amputation

Authors of the article created an overall assessment metric using a deep learning autoencoder to directly compare clinical outcomes in a comparison of lower limb amputees using two different prosthetic devices—a mechanical knee and a microprocessor-controlled knee. The proposed methods were used on data collected from ten participants with a dysvascular transfemoral amputation recruited for a prosthetics research study.

An experimental design to study decommitment in a collaborative multi-agent system in a scheduling domain (open access)

An experimental design to study decommitment in a collaborative multi-agent system in a scheduling domain

This article describes the theoretical background and experimental design of new research based on previous multi-agent research on collaborative agents. The research extends the concept of agent decommitment into a resource scheduling domain. The problem is no longer time constrained, however, the number of agents is increased dramatically. The actual experimentation is yet to be performed. The authors state that results of the experimentation will be reported in a future article.

Privacy-Preserving Object Detection with Secure Convolutional Neural Networks for Vehicular Edge Computing (open access)

Privacy-Preserving Object Detection with Secure Convolutional Neural Networks for Vehicular Edge Computing

Article discusses how with the wider adoption of edge computing services, intelligent edge devices, and high-speed V2X communication, compute-intensive tasks for autonomous vehicles, such as object detection using camera, LiDAR, and/or radar data, can be partially offloaded to road-side edge servers. The authors aim to address the privacy problem by protecting both vehicles' sensor data and the detection results.
