Authors - Monica Alonso, Hortensia Amaris, Maria Angeles Moreno, Farzaneh Abdollahi, Lucia Gauchia Abstract - This paper introduces a novel approach to applying artificial intelligence algorithms based on Reinforcement Learning (RL) for microgrid energy management. Two energy storage systems are considered: stationary battery storage and electric vehicle batteries with G2V/V2G capability. The proposed energy management algorithm considers (i) the uncertainty of photovoltaic energy production, (ii) fluctuations in electricity market prices, and (iii) driver anxiety concerning the vehicle’ range at departure time. The significance of specific parameters, such as time horizon selection and the constant value related to the electric vehicle driver’s anxiety, are examined to optimise the RL reward. Results demonstrate the algorithm's excellent performance under different scenarios.

Authors - Shahin Doroudian, Mohsen Dorodchi Abstract - Firefighting operations in hazardous environments demand agile and adaptive strategies to effectively combat fires while safeguarding the lives of firefighters and civilians. Traditional approaches often rely on predetermined protocols, which may not adapt well to dynamic and unpredictable situations. This paper proposes a novel framework utilizing Reinforcement Learning (RL) to optimize rescue mission strategies. By harnessing the power of RL, this approach enables AI agents to learn and adapt their behavior based on environmental cues and feedback, leading to more effective and responsive rescue operations. The framework integrates various factors such as terrain and path complexity and the presence of hazards, like fire and smoke, into the decision-making process. Through iterative learning, agents evolve their strategies, identifying optimal paths and rescue tactics. Furthermore, this proposal discusses the potential benefits of employing DRL in rescue missions, including enhanced adaptability, scalability, and robustness in diverse and challenging environments. The adoption of RL to optimize strategies for rescue missions represents a significant opportunity to progress in the disaster response domain. At the end, our results show that the RL-driven method enhances rescue operation outcomes and safety by reducing rescue times, increasing the number of people rescued, optimizing resource utilization, and boosting overall efficiency.
Authors - Yijun Shao, Ying Yin, Debby Tsuang, Phillip Ma, Edward Zamrini, Ali Ahmed, Charles Faselis, Katherine Wilson, Karl Brown, Qing Zeng-Treitler Abstract - This study involved the development and evaluation of a novel Deep Neural Network (DNN) model for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) phenotyping. The model was initially trained on a large cohort of 100,000 cases and controls and subsequently fine-tuned using a smaller, expert reviewed dataset of 1,200 individuals. The final fine-tuned model achieved an Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.832. For further validation, the model's predictive capability was assessed in a separate randomly selected patient cohort comprising individuals without an ADRD diagnosis from 2009 to 2018. The survival analysis shows that patients with higher predicted ADRD risk scores exhibited a significantly increased incidence of developing ADRD after their index date within five years.

Authors - Dmitry A. Zaitsev, Alistair A. McEwan, Alexander A. Kostikov Abstract - Real-time embedded applications are normally viewed as continuous processes and are often specified using Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) and with certain boundary conditions. In this paper we present techniques for fast mass-parallel numerical solving of PDEs. We compose specialized lattices based on the integer number approximation specified with Sleptsov nets to be implemented as dedicated hardware, which we prototype on an FPGA. For mass-parallel solving of PDEs, we employ ad-hoc finite-difference schemes and iteration methods that allow us to recalculate the lattice values in a single time cycle with appropriate accuracy suitable for control of hypersonic objects and thermonuclear reactions.
Authors - Md Amirul Islam, Giovanni Stea Abstract - Recent advancements in industry underscore the growing demand for systems that provide both high computational performance and real-time assurances, despite these objectives traditionally being seen as conflicting. To support the complex task of designing such Network-on-Chip (NoC) systems with both performance and Quality of Service (QoS) requirements, frameworks such as ARM MPAM envisage systems with hardware support for resource partitioning and the observation of its effects. It enables new application areas for traditional QoS techniques. Network Calculus (NC) uses transformation operations to model traffic profiles through network nodes. It enables the estimation of the minimum service guaranteed to a flow as it moves through flow-controlled nodes. This paper proposes using Network Calculus to derive insights from traces of traffic samples and to evaluate service curves for QoS validation and worst-case delay analysis in NoC architectures. The derived worst-case performance bound is compared with existing works based on Queueing Theory (QT) and Network Calculus (NC). This comparison demonstrates a significant improvement in the accuracy of the delay bounds over the existing QT and NC approaches.

Authors - Mikhail Ola Adisa, Sonny Rosenthal, Ifeoma Adaji, Shola Oyedeji, Jari Porras Abstract - Civic campaigns and technology interventions are increasingly recognized as powerful drivers of sustainable waste management behaviors. This study investigates how civic campaigns and persuasive technologies interact to promote sustainable waste practices in Finland. Drawing on a mixed-methods approach, the study combines survey data from 255 residents with interviews from civic organizations to explore the role of engagement levels, campaign effectiveness, and ICT interventions in shaping pro-environmental behavior. Findings reveal that while residents generally exhibit strong recycling habits, sustained participation depends on continued civic outreach, awareness of environmental concerns, and value-based motivation. Digital persuasive tools, such as mobile/web apps, social media, and innovative technologies, were found to be effective for raising waste awareness and supporting sustainable efforts but do not independently drive behavioral change. The study highlights the importance of integrating civic strategies with persuasive technologies to bridge the intention-action gap, scale engagement, and reinforce sustainability norms. The paper contributes to the literature on ICT for sustainability by demonstrating how tailored civic-tech can complement grassroots efforts to foster long-term sustainable behavior change.

Authors - Saravana Kumari Shanmuga Sundaram, Shyam A V Abstract - e-Sanjeevani is India's national telemedicine system. It had its modest origin during the COVID lockdown and is now the biggest recorded platform worldwide for primary healthcare, especially for underprivileged communities. For the design, implementation, and assessment, this article investigates the two service models of the platform: e-Sanjeevani OPD (patient-to-doctor) and e-Sanjeevani HWC (doctor-to-doctor). This study assesses e-Sanjeevani's scalability, usage patterns, and integration with the more extensive health system, such as the Ayushman Bharat Health Accounts (ABHA), and National Digital Health Mission (NDHM) frameworks, based on research literature, secondary data from official sources, and policy documents. For those who do not have access to primary healthcare, the platform has provided several advantages. However, there have been difficulties reaching the system's maximum efficiency. By early 2025, the platform had helped over 342 million individuals throughout India, supporting several aspects of healthcare delivery like diabetic foot, caries in elderly persons, and so on. The research suggests a conceptual framework for incorporating Large Language Models (LLMs) into e-Sanjeevani, addressing the existing challenges and extending the solution’s possibilities. The framework includes LLM-driven features, including clinical decision support, real-time translation, automated documentation, and individualized patient education. It comprises a layered architecture effortlessly incorporated into telehealth, supporting artificial intelligence augmentation at pre-consultation, consultation, and post-consultation phases. This integration can significantly increase provider efficiency, lower workload, and raise the general quality of treatment. The results underline present achievements and the transforming opportunities of LLM-enabled fair telemedicine for India and other low- and middle-income nations.
Authors - Fredy Gavilanes-Sagnay, Edison Loza-Aguirre, Henry N. Roa, Narcisa de Jesus Salazar Alvarez Abstract - This study investigates the performance of various channel estimation and signal detection techniques, including Kalman Filtering, Convolutional Neural Net-works (CNNs), and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs); with a focus on their application in 5G/6G networks. We evaluate these methods based on key metrics, including Bit Error Rate (BER), Mean Squared Error (MSE), and computational complexity, under different Signal-to-Noise Ratio conditions. Our results demonstrate that Deep Learning models (CNNs and RNN) significantly outperform traditional methods in terms of accuracy, achieving lower BER and MSE values. However, these improvements come at the cost of increased computational complexity, making them less feasible for real-time applications in resource-constrained environments. Reinforcement Learning models also show promise, offering real-time adaptability for dynamic spectrum management and beam tracking but they also face challenges regarding computational efficiency. Despite some limitations, Kalman Filtering remains valuable for applications where low latency and computational efficiency are critical. Our findings highlight the importance of optimizing these models to balance accuracy and computational load for large-scale 5G/6G networks.
