[more ▼] Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are in increasing demand thanks to their applicability in a wide range of domains. However, to fully exploit such potential, UAVs should be capable of intelligently planning their collision-free paths as that impacts greatly the execution quality of their applications. While being a problem well addressed in literature, most presented solutions are either computationally complex centralised approaches or ones not suitable for the multiobjective requirements of most UAV use-cases. This extended abstract introduces ongoing research on a novel distributed Pareto path planning algorithm incorporating a dynamic multi-criteria decision matrix allowing each UAV to plan its collision-free path relying on local knowledge gained via digital stigmergy. The article presents some initial simulations results of a distributed UAV Traffic Management system (UTM) on a weighted multilayer network.

[more ▼] Early approaches of community detection algorithms often depend on the network’s global structure with a time complexity correlated to the network size. Local algorithms emerged as a more efficient solution to deal with large-scale networks with millions to billions of nodes. This methodology has shifted the attention from global structure towards the local level to deal with a network using only a portion of nodes. Investigating the state-of-the-art, we notice the absence of a standard definition of locality between community detection algorithms. Different goals have been explored under the local terminology of community detection approaches that can be misunderstood. This paper probes existing contributions to extract the scopes where an algorithm performs locally. Our purpose is to interpret the concept of locality in community detection algorithms. We propose a locality exploration scheme to investigate the concept of locality at each stage of an existing community detection workflow. We summarized terminologies concerning the locality in the state-of-the-art community detection approaches. In some cases, we observe how different terms are used for the same concept. We demonstrate the applicability of our algorithm by providing a review of some algorithms using our proposed scheme. Our review highlights a research gap in community detection algorithms and initiates new research topics in this domain.

[more ▼] We consider the problem of automatizing network generation from inter-organizational research collaboration data. The resulting networks promise to obtain crucial advanced insights. In this paper, we propose a method to convert relational data to a set of networks using a single parameter, called Linkage Threshold (LT). To analyze the impact of the LT-value, we apply standard network metrics such as network density and centrality measures on each network produced. The feasibility and impact of our approach are demonstrated by using a real-world collaboration data set from an established research institution. We show how the produced network layers can reveal insights and patterns by presenting a correlation matrix.

[more ▼] Surprising insights in community structures of complex networks have raised tremendous interest in developing various kinds of community detection algorithms. Considering the growing size of existing networks, local community detection methods have gained attention in contrast to global methods that impose a top-down view of global network information. Current local community detection algorithms are mainly aimed to discover local communities around a given node. Besides, their performance is influenced by the quality of the source node. In this paper, we propose a community detection algorithm that outputs all the communities of a network benefiting from a set of local principles and a self-defining source node selection. Each node in our algorithm progressively adjusts its community label based on an even more restrictive level of locality, considering its neighbours local information solely. Our algorithm offers a computational complexity of linear order with respect to the network size. Experiments on both artificial and real networks show that our algorithm gains moreover networks with weak community structures compared to networks with strong community structures. Additionally, we provide experiments to demonstrate the ability of the self-defining source node of our algorithm by implementing various source node selection methods from the literature.

[more ▼] This article explores the application of evolutionary algorithms and agent-oriented programming to solve the problem of searching and monitoring objectives through a fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles. The subproblem of static off-line planning is studied to find initial flight plans for each vehicle in the fleet, using evolutionary algorithms to achieve compromise values between the size of the explored area, the proximity of the vehicles, and the monitoring of points of interest defined in the area. The results obtained in the experimental analysis on representative instances of the surveillance problem indicate that the proposed techniques are capable of computing effective flight plans.

[more ▼] For large scale systems, such as data centers, energy efficiency has proven to be key for reducing capital, operational expenses and environmental impact. Power drainage of a system is closely related to the type and characteristics of workload that the device is running. For this reason, this paper presents an automatic software tuning method for parallel program generation able to adapt and exploit the hardware features available on a target computing system such as an HPC facility or a cloud system in a better way than traditional compiler infrastructures. We propose a search based approach combining both exact methods and approximated heuristics evolving programs in order to find optimized configurations relying on an ever-increasing number of tunable knobs i.e., code transformation and execution options (such as the num- ber of OpenMP threads and/or the CPU frequency settings). The main objective is to outperform the configurations generated by traditional compiling infrastructures for selected KPIs i.e., performance, energy and power usage (for both for the CPU and DRAM), as well as the runtime. First experimental results tied to the local optimization phase of the proposed framework are encouraging, demonstrating between 8% and 41% improvement for all considered metrics on a reference benchmark- ing application (i.e., Linpack). This brings novel perspectives for the global optimization step currently under investigation within the presented framework, with the ambition to pave the way toward automatic tuning of energy-aware applications beyond the performance of the current state-of-the-art compiler infrastructures.

[more ▼] The rapid adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) has encouraged the integration of new connected devices such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to the ubiquitous network. UAVs promise a pragmatic solution to the limitations of existing terrestrial IoT infrastructure as well as bring new means of delivering IoT services through a wide range of applications. Owning to their potential, UAVs are expected to soon dominate the low-altitude airspace over populated cities. This introduces new research challenges such as the safe management of UAVs operation under high traffic demands. This paper proposes a novel way of structuring the uncontrolled, low-altitude airspace, with the aim of addressing the complex problem of UAV traffic management at an abstract level. The work, hence, introduces a model of the airspace as a weighted multilayer network of nodes and airways and presents a set of experimental simulation results using three UAV traffic management heuristics.
