The challenging characteristics of the vehicular environment such as high mobility, diversity of applications, dynamic topologies, unreliable broadcast channels, and short-lived connectivity call into the need to extend the IP-based network to fulfill the user and VANETs requirements. Researchers are developing new network communication models to transfer the future internet. The information-centric networking (ICN) paradigm is a promising solution that may overcome the issues mentioned above. ICN involves a named content, name-based routing, in-network caching, and content-based security, which make it a suitable architecture for VANET applications. In this chapter, the authors present recent advances in VANET solutions that rely on named-data networking (NDN), which is the most active ICN implementation. The issues of the current host-centric model, mapping between NDN and VANET, is also discussed along with future research directions.

AbstractThe global collaboration and integration of online and offline channels have brought new challenges to the logistics industry. Thus, smart logistics has become a promising solution for handling the increasing complexity and volume of logistics operations. Technologies, such as the Internet of Things, information communication technology, and artificial intelligence, enable more efficient functions into logistics operations. However, they also change the narrative of logistics management. Scholars in the areas of engineering, logistics, transportation, and management are attracted by this revolution. Operations management research on smart logistics mainly concerns the application of underlying technologies, business logic, operation framework, related management system, and optimization problems under specific scenarios. To explore these studies, the related literature has been systematically reviewed in this work. On the basis of the research gaps and the needs of industrial practices, future research directions in this field are also proposed.

Future Internet is based on the concepts of autonomicity and cognition, where each network element is able to monitor its surrounding environment, evaluate the situation, and decide the action that should be applied. In such context, the traditional service provisioning approaches necessitate a paradigm shift so as to incorporate the Cognitive Cycle. Towards this end, in this chapter, we introduce a Cognitive Service Provision framework suitable for Future Internet Networks. The proposed approach supports cognition by modeling a service as an aggregation of software components bundled together through a graph. Consequently, each service is composed by various components and is tailored to the operational context of the requestor. In order to prove the viability and applicability of the proposed approach we also introduce the enhancement of the IP Multimedia Subsystem through our Cognitive Service Provision framework. Finally, based on our work, we discuss future research directions and the link between service and network management.

Smart, secure and energy-efficient data collection (DC) processes are key to the realization of the full potentials of future Internet of Things (FIoT)-based systems. Currently, challenges in this domain have motivated research efforts towards providing cognitive solutions for IoT usage. One such solution, termed cognitive sensing (CS) describes the use of smart sensors to intelligently perceive inputs from the environment. Further, CS has been proposed for use in FIoT in order to facilitate smart, secure and energy-efficient data collection processes. In this article, we provide a survey of different Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based techniques used over the last decade to provide cognitive sensing solutions for different FIoT applications. We present some state-of-the-art approaches, potentials, and challenges of AI techniques for the identified solutions. This survey contributes to a better understanding of AI techniques deployed for cognitive sensing in FIoT as well as future research directions in this regard.

Abstract Capicua (CIC) is an evolutionarily conserved transcription factor. CIC contains a high-mobility group (HMG) box that recognizes specific DNA sequences to regulate the expression of various target genes. CIC was originally identified in Drosophila melanogaster as a transcriptional repressor that suppresses the receptor tyrosine kinase signaling pathway. This molecule controls normal organ growth and tissue patterning as well as embryogenesis in Drosophila. Recent studies have also demonstrated its extensive functions in mammals. For example, CIC regulates several developmental and physiological processes, including lung development, abdominal wall closure during embryogenesis, brain development and function, neural stem cell homeostasis, T cell differentiation, and enterohepatic circulation of bile acids. CIC is also associated with the progression of various types of cancer and neurodegeneration in spinocerebellar ataxia type-1, systemic autoimmunity, and liver injury. In this review, I provide a broad overview of our current understanding of the regulation and functions of CIC in mammals and discuss future research directions.

The vehicular network is taking great attention from both academia and industry to enable the intelligent transportation system (ITS), autonomous driving, and smart cities. The system provides extremely dynamic features due to the fast mobile characteristics. While the number of different applications in the vehicular network is growing fast, the quality of service (QoS) in the 5G vehicular network becomes diverse. One of the most stringent requirements in the vehicular network is a safety-critical real-time system. To guarantee low-latency and other diverse QoS requirements, wireless network resources should be effectively utilized and allocated among vehicles, such as computation power in cloud, fog, and edge servers; spectrum at roadside units (RSUs); and base stations (BSs). Historically, optimization problems have mostly been investigated to formulate resource allocation and are solved by mathematical computation methods. However, the optimization problems are usually nonconvex and hard to be solved. Recently, machine learning (ML) is a powerful technique to cope with the complexity in computation and has capability to cope with big data and data analysis in the heterogeneous vehicular network. In this paper, an overview of resource allocation in the 5G vehicular network is represented with the support of traditional optimization and advanced ML approaches, especially a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) method. In addition, a federated deep reinforcement learning- (FDRL-) based vehicular communication is proposed. The challenges, open issues, and future research directions for 5G and toward 6G vehicular networks, are discussed. A multiaccess edge computing assisted by network slicing and a distributed federated learning (FL) technique is analyzed. A FDRL-based UAV-assisted vehicular communication is discussed to point out the future research directions for the networks.

As the first 5G networks are being deployed across the world, new services enabled by the superior performance of 5G in terms of throughput, latency and reliability are emerging. Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM) services are perhaps among the most demanding applications that 5G networks will have to support and their deployment, performance and potential for improvement has been well investigated over the past few years. However, CAM operation in multi-operator environments and the inevitable inter-PLMN handover caused by the inherent mobility of CAM services have not been studied in length. Moreover, the multiple domains, multi-vendor components and inherent high mobility of the cross-border vehicular environment, introduce multiple challenges in terms of network management and dynamic slicing, making Zero-touch network and Service Management (ZSM) solutions an attractive alternative for these environments. The work presented in this study attempts to analyse the requirements for cross-border CAM operation for the five main CAM use cases selected by 3GPP, based on input from key European stakeholders (Network Operators, vendors, Automotive Manufacturers etc.). A detailed analysis and categorization into four categories of the main challenges for cross-border CAM service provisioning is performed, namely Telecommunication, Application, Security/Privacy and Regulatory issues, while potential solutions based on existing and upcoming technological enablers are discussed for each of them. The role of standardization and relevant regulatory and administrative bodies is analysed, leading to insights regarding the most promising future research directions in the field of cross-border CAM services.
