Assessment Automation of Complex Student Programming Assignments
Grading student programming assignments is not an easy task. This task is even more challenging when talking about complex programming assignments at university graduate level. By complex assignments, researchers mean assignments where students have to program a complete application from scratch. For example, building a complete web application with a client and server side, whereby the application uses multiple threads that gather data from some external service (like the REST service, IoT sensors, etc.), processes these data and store them in some storage (e.g., a database), implements a custom protocol over a socket or something similar, implements their own REST/SOAP/GraphQL service, then sends or receives JMS/MQTT/WebSocket messages, etc. Such assignments give students an inside view of building real Internet applications. On the other hand, assignments like these take a long time to be tested and graded manually, e.g., up to 1 h per student. To speed up the assessment process, there are different automation possibilities that can check for the correctness of some application parts without endangering the grading quality.

Advances in Non-Invasive Neuromodulation: Closed-Loop Vagus Nerve Stimulation
Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation therapy that eliminates the need for internal device implantation, presenting as a favorable therapeutic option. This method relies on electrical surface stimulation, bypassing the need for surgical procedures.

Attack-Aware Logical Link Assignment
Software-Defined Networking (SDN), which is used in Industrial Internet of Things, uses a controller as its “network brain” located at the control plane. This uniquely distinguishes it from the traditional networking paradigms because it provides a global view of the entire network. In SDN, the controller can become a single point of failure, which may cause the whole network service to be compromised.

Drone Based RGBT Tracking with Dual-Feature Aggregation Network
In the field of UAV-based object tracking, the use of infrared mode can improve the robustness of the tracker in the scene with severe illumination changes, occlusion and expand the applicable scenarios of UAV-based object tracking tasks. Inspired by the great achievements of Transformer architecture in the field of RGB object tracking, a dual-mode object tracking network based on Transformer can be designed.

Explainable AI for Health Care
Artificial intelligence (AI) have facilitated its widespread adoption in primary medical services, addressing the demand–supply imbalance in healthcare. Vision Transformers (ViT) have emerged as state-of-the-art computer vision models, benefiting from self-attention modules. However, compared to traditional machine learning approaches, deep learning models are complex and are often treated as a “black box” that can cause uncertainty regarding how they operate. Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) refers to methods that explain and interpret machine learning models’ inner workings and how they come to decisions, which is especially important in the medical domain to guide healthcare decision-making processes.

Security and Trust Management in the IoV
The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is a technology that is connected to the public internet and is a subnetwork of the Internet of Things (IoT) in which vehicles with sensors are connected to a mobile and wireless network. Numerous vehicles, users, things, and networks allow nodes to communicate information with their surroundings via various communication channels. IoV aims to enhance the comfort of driving, improve energy management, secure data transmission, and prevent road accidents.

Techniques for Credit Card Fraud Detection
Fraudulent activities are on the rise within the financial sector, with an escalating trend observed in credit card fraud. The incidence of credit card fraud is expanding swiftly in tandem with the increasing daily usage of credit cards. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) report underscores the severity of the issue, noting that 2021 marked the most challenging year in history for identity theft. It is crucial to note that many cases of identity theft go unreported, suggesting that the actual number may surpass the reported figures. The FTC report emphasises the need for innovative approaches to safeguard the financial well-being of both consumers and businesses. In the era of digital advancements, the escalation of credit card fraud necessitates the development of robust and efficient fraud detection systems.

A Smart Grid and the Vehicle-to-Grid/Grid-to-Vehicle Problem
The smart grid constitutes an important emerging application domain for artificial intelligence and multiagent systems (MAS). In the smart grid, energy and information both flow over electricity distribution and transmission networks in all possible directions. As such, buildings, as well as electric vehicles (EVs), become active energy consumers and/or producers, and the need for their effective integration into the system arises. Not only is the smart grid an electricity network with diverse consumers and producers, it is also a dynamic marketplace where heterogeneous devices appear and need to connect and interoperate.
