Speech Title: Metaverse supported IoT & ChatGPT via blockchained federated learning
Abstract: We present a blockchained federated learning decision-making system with convolution neural nets and machine learning, which can be applied to Metaverse supported IoT & ChatGPT service systems, 6G/6G+ wireless communications, etc. The design and analysis of an optimal policy computing algorithm for smart contracts within the blockchain supported with cloud computing will be the focus. Inside the system, each order associated with a demand may simultaneously require multiple service items from different suppliers and the corresponding arrival rate may depend on blockchain history data represented by a long-range dependent stochastic process. The optimality of the computed dynamic policy on maximizing the expected infinite-horizon discounted profit is proved concerning both demand and supply rate controls with dynamic pricing and sequential packaging scheduling in an integrated fashion. Our policy is a pathwise oriented one and can be easily implemented online. The effectiveness of our optimal policy is supported by simulation comparisons.

Speech Title:New Sensing Systems for Securing Virtual Walls at Outdoor Based on True Differential Digital TMOS
Abstract: This paper presents a non-imaging differential digital passive Infra-Red (PIR) remote sensing system using CMOS-SOI-MEMS transistors as the thermal sensor. The mosaic sensors, which are manufactured by nano-fabrication methods in CMOS FABs, exhibit enhanced performance and robust manufacturing in wafer-level processing and vacuum packaging. Two identical large pixels are differentially measured. Optics forms “cockeyed” vision. Thus environmental “noise” cancels. This sensor outperforms thermopiles and pyroelectric sensors at outdoor operation. The overall performance features render the True Differential Digital TMOS most suitable for securing virtual walls outdoors and maybe use for securing fences and surroundings of important zones.

Speech Title: Improving Metaheuristic Algorithms Using Information Feedback Model
Abstract: In most metaheuristic algorithms, the individual update process does not (fully) utilize the individual information generated in previous iterations. If this useful information can be fully utilized in subsequent optimization processes, the quality of the feasible solutions produced by the algorithm will be greatly improved. Based on this, a method of reusing available information of previous individuals to guide subsequent search is proposed. In this method, the previous useful information is fed back to the individual update process, and then six information feedback models are proposed. In these models, the individuals of previous iterations are selected in a fixed or random way, and then the useful information of the selected individuals is applied to the individual update process. Then, based on the individuals generated and selected by the basic algorithm, a simple fitness weighting method is used to generate new individuals. Six different information feedback models are applied to 10 metaheuristic algorithms to generate new algorithms and verify the performance of the proposed information feedback model. Experiments show that these new algorithms are significantly better than the basic algorithms on 14 standard test functions and 10 CEC 2011 real world problems, and further prove the effectiveness of the proposed information feedback model. At the same time, the model is applied to solve many-objective optimization methods (MOEA/D and NSGA-III), and good results are achieved.

Speech Title: Travel Behavior Profiling based on Spatio-Temporal Graph Learning
Abstract: A modern city is a ternary space that contains the physical world, human society, and information space. Urban spatio-temporal data is the foundation of urban travel intelligence. Based on urban spatio-temporal data, the accurate description of travel information in cities is the premise of forecasting/warning and decision-making assistance. Crowd travel knowledge and information are extracted via integrating, analyzing and mining of multi-source trajectory data obtained by mobile crowd sensing. This brings new idea to solve the challenges fro smart transportation, improve the efficiency of urban resource utilization, optimize urban management and services, and improve residents' lives quality towards smart cities. This report will explore the research frontiers of spatio-temporal graph learning-based trajectory big data mining and analysis and its application in crowd travel behavior profiling, and introduce some related work.
