Compression of Bio-Signals for IoMT Systems
Bio-signals are records of biological events inside the human body, such as a heartbeat or muscle contraction. These signals are used to detect whether there is a problem or disorder in a human organ.

QoS Monitoring in IoT Edge Devices Driven Healthcare
Smart healthcare is altering the delivery of healthcare by combining the benefits of IoT, mobile, and cloud computing. Cloud computing has tremendously helped the health industry connect healthcare facilities, caregivers, and patients for information sharing. The main drivers for implementing effective healthcare systems are low latency and faster response times. Thus, quick responses among healthcare organizations are important in general, but in an emergency, significant latency at different stakeholders might result in disastrous situations. Thus, cutting-edge approaches like edge computing and artificial intelligence (AI) can deal with such problems. A packet cannot be sent from one location to another unless the “quality of service” (QoS) specifications are met.

Knowledge-Based Robot Manipulation and Knowledge-Graph Embedding
Autonomous indoor service robots are affected by multiple factors when they are directly involved in manipulation tasks in daily life, such as scenes, objects, and actions. It is of self-evident importance to properly parse these factors and interpret intentions according to human cognition and semantics.

Deformable Object Manipulation in Caregiving Scenarios
The growing importance of deformable object manipulation (DOM) in caregiving settings can be attributed to various factors. One significant driving force is the aging population, which has led to increasing demand for caregiving services. In addition to supporting the elderly, deformable object manipulation technologies can assist individuals with disabilities and special needs, improving their quality of life and promoting independence. Another essential aspect of deformable object manipulation in caregiving scenarios is the potential to enhance precision and safety in medical procedures. These technologies can reduce the physical strain experienced by human caregivers, preventing injuries and enabling them to provide better patient care.

Smoke and Fire Detection Approaches
Forest fires rank among the costliest and deadliest natural disasters globally. Identifying the smoke generated by forest fires is pivotal in facilitating the prompt suppression of developing fires. Nevertheless, succeeding techniques for detecting forest fire smoke encounter persistent issues, including a slow identification rate, suboptimal accuracy in detection, and challenges in distinguishing smoke originating from small sources.

Social Exclusion in Human-Robot Interaction
As the technology for social robots is maturing at a rapid rate, one expects that scenarios for human–robot teams, which so far have remained in the realm of fiction (for example, The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells), will become a reality soon. Philosophers are discussing ways to redefine the concept of friendship to include robots as well. To prepare for this inevitable future, it is necessary that we study cognitive and affective aspects of how humans respond to robot team members.

Deep Convolutional Neural Networks and Retinal Vessels
Accurate segmentation of retinal vessels is an essential prerequisite for the subsequent analysis of fundus images. Recently, a number of methods based on deep learning have been proposed and shown to demonstrate promising segmentation performance, especially U-Net and its variants. However, tiny vessels and low-contrast vessels are hard to detect due to the issues of a loss of spatial details caused by consecutive down-sample operations and inadequate fusion of multi-level features caused by vanilla skip connections.

Managing Access to Confidential Documents
User adoption and usage of end-to-end encryption tools is an ongoing research topic. A subset of such tools allows users to encrypt confidential emails, as well as manage their access control using features such as the expiration time, disabling forwarding, persistent protection, and watermarking.

Alert Correlation and Attack Scenario Recognition
Planned and targeted attacks, such as the advanced persistent threat (APT), are highly sophisticated forms of attack. They involve numerous steps and are intended to remain within a system for an extended length of period before progressing to the next stage of action. Anticipating the next behaviors of attackers is a challenging and crucial task due to the stealthy nature of advanced attack scenarios, in addition to the possible high volumes of false positive alerts generated by different security tools such as intrusion detection systems (IDSs).
