Less is More: Variance-Gated Client Rejection for Faster Convergence in Federated Learning

This paper proposes VGCR-FL, a method that speeds up federated learning by filtering out client updates that deviate strongly from the rest of the cohort. The filter uses a threshold that adapts each round, plus a check on whether the update points in the same direction as the cohort. This keeps useful updates from min...

THE EL-RAKHAWI DOCTRINE OF SELF-GOVERNING UBIQUITOUS SYSTEMS From Technical Infrastructure to Comprehensive Legal Governance

The El-Rakhawi Doctrine of Self-Governing Ubiquitous Systems presents a unified normative-theoretical framework addressing the critical gap between rapidly evolving autonomous computing technologies and inadequate legal governance structures. As ubiquitous systems transition from passive instruments to self-governing a...

THE EL-RAKHAWI SOVEREIGN PROTOCOL (ERSP) An Open Scientific-Technical Framework for Building Ethically Guaranteed, Ecologically Sustainable, and Human-Centric Digital Systems A Foundational Protocol Specification Unifying Formal Verification, Sovereign Data Architecture, Green Computing, Algorithmic Accountability, and Cognitive Dignity into a Single Open Standard for Global Digital Civilization

The El-Rakhawi Sovereign Protocol (ERSP) (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.23235007) is an open scientific-technical specification designed to build ethically guaranteed, ecologically sustainable, and human-centric digital systems. Analogous to TCP/IP, the ERSP provides a unified five-layer architecture for digital integrity: (1) S...

A Blockchain and AI-Driven Framework for Decentralized Peer-to-Peer Skill Exchange Ecosystems

This chapter, per the authors, introduces the Decentralized Skill Exchange Network (DSEN), a unified sociotechnical framework reconstituting peer-mediated learning on Web3 foundations. Centralized learning platforms consolidate credential authority, behavioral data, and recommendation logic within single institutional...

Intelligent Data Analytics and Federated Learning in Vehicular Networks

Human-Centered AI and Decision Support in Security Operations Centers

The growing complexity of cyber threats has made Security Operations Centers (SOCs) essential for real-time threat detection, incident response, and infrastructure protection. However, traditional black-box AI models often reduce trust and transparency in cybersecurity decisions. This chapter explores human-centered Ex...

D3MI: an efficient and powerful federated imputation method for bias reduction in the analysis of distributed incomplete data by accounting for within-site correlation and between-site heterogeneity

Electronic health records (EHRs) collected from diverse healthcare institutions offer a rich and representative data source for clinical research. Federated learning enables analysis of these distributed data without sharing sensitive patient-level information, preserving privacy. However, missing data remain a major c...

Retrieval-Augmented Generation Applications and Development in the Field of Electronic Test Instruments

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), especially the fast iteration and widespread deployment of large language models (LLMs), has ushered in a new paradigm for the intelligent augmentation of electronic test instruments and automatic test systems (ATS). By combining the powerful reasoning and generati...

Federated Learning in the Era of Large Models: Core Challenges, Representative Solutions, and Emerging Directions

With the rapid advancement of the Internet and the emergence and popularity of large language models, the demands for high-quality data, communication capacity and security and privacy have increased significantly. However, a large amount of data is distributed across different devices, and cannot be collected legally...

Intelligent Technologies as Proponents of Global Development and Sustainability: An Approach Based on India's Digital Infrastructure

The seventeen core goals of the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development demand the need for collective action along social, economic, and environmental fronts. Artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, along with cloud/edge computing are notable examples of intelligent technologies an...

Diagnostic Performance of Deep Learning Models for Ocular Toxoplasmosis Using Fundus Photography: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

BACKGROUND Ocular toxoplasmosis (OT) is the leading infectious cause of posterior uveitis worldwide, yet diagnosis remains challenging without a universal gold standard. Although deep learning (DL) shows significant promise for automated image analysis, a rigorous synthesis of its diagnostic accuracy across heterogeneo...
