Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Machine learning techniques can be applied to solve various issues in computer networks. Recently, researchers have advanced the study of Network Intrusion Detection, Network Traffic Optimization, Fault Detection, Network Resource Management, and QoS Management utilizing various ML techniques ranging from reinforcement learning to federated learning. As an example, machine learning algorithms can be used to analyze network traffic and detect anomalies or suspicious activities that may indicate an intrusion or malicious behavior. By training models on labeled datasets of normal and attack traffic, machine learning can help identify patterns and classify network traffic in real-time. Similarly, machine learning can be applied to optimize network traffic and improve network performance. By analyzing historical data, machine learning algorithms can identify patterns in network traffic, predict network congestion, and optimize routing protocols to ensure efficient data transmission. Therefore, the editors seek original submissions on the following topics: FL for network resource management; ML for network traffic and content analysis; resource management using ML for fog, edge and cloud computing; network traffic prediction for resource allocation; QoS and energy management of network resources; identifying anomalous traffic patterns in IoT; and enabling blockchain-based applications for large-scale networks.

With the rise in traffic congestion in urban centers, predicting accidents has become paramount for city planning and public safety. This work comprehensively studied the efficacy of modern deep learning (DL) methods in forecasting traffic accidents and enhancing Level-4 and Level-5 (L-4 and L-5) driving assistants with actionable visual and language cues. Using a rich dataset detailing accident occurrences, we juxtaposed the Transformer model against traditional time series models like ARIMA and the more recent Prophet model. Additionally, through detailed analysis, we delved deep into feature importance using principal component analysis (PCA) loadings, uncovering key factors contributing to accidents. We introduce the idea of using real-time interventions with large language models (LLMs) in autonomous driving with the use of lightweight compact LLMs like LLaMA-2 and Zephyr-7b-α. Our exploration extends to the realm of multimodality, through the use of Large Language-and-Vision Assistant (LLaVA)—a bridge between visual and linguistic cues by means of a Visual Language Model (VLM)—in conjunction with deep probabilistic reasoning, enhancing the real-time responsiveness of autonomous driving systems. In this study, we elucidate the advantages of employing large multimodal models within DL and deep probabilistic programming for enhancing the performance and usability of time series forecasting and feature weight importance, particularly in a self-driving scenario. This work paves the way for safer, smarter cities, underpinned by data-driven decision making. Full article
