Data Extraction Approach for Empirical Agent-Based Model Development
Agent-based model (ABM) development needs information on system components and interactions. Qualitative narratives contain contextually rich system information beneficial for ABM conceptualization. Traditional qualitative data extraction is manual, complex, and time- and resource-consuming. Moreover, manual data extraction is often biased and may produce questionable and unreliable models. A possible alternative is to employ automated approaches borrowed from Artificial Intelligence.

Classifications of Routing Protocols in Ad hoc Networks
Wireless Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (WANETs-MANETs) are one of the most in-demand networks in our day and age, being widely used in military fields, disaster environments, autonomous robots, vehicular networks, rural and urban environments, and UAV applications. This is due to the remarkable features of versatility, robustness, and self-configuration with no infrastructure. Such networks' main objective is to deliver reliable data transmission directly to nodes such routers, access points, smartphones, and vehicles with dynamically adjusting the data routes in accordance with the network conditions and GPS information. However, mobility in ad hoc networks is yet the crucial issue due to the dynamic changes of the network topology; this makes data routing a substantial challenge. To this end, choosing or design the proper routing protocol plays important role in establishing robust, secure and efficient data communication for randomly distributed and unrestricted movement of nodes. In this regard, we will briefly introduce the main types of routing protocols that can be utilized in various types of ad hoc networks such as MANET, VANET or FANET or SANET; and how to evaluate them based on their pros, cons and operation.

Sensor-Based Human Action Recognition
Sensor-based Human Action Recognition (HAR) is a fundamental component in human–robot interaction and pervasive computing. It achieves HAR by acquiring sequence data from embedded sensor devices (accelerometers, magnetometers, gyroscopes, etc.) of multiple sensor modalities worn at different body locations for data processing and analysis.

Shape-Informed Dimensional Reduction in Airfoil/Hydrofoil Modeling Approachs
Parametric models have been widely used in pertinent literature for reconstructing, modifying and representing a wide range of airfoil and/or hydrofoil profile geometries. Design spaces corresponding to these models can be exploited for modeling and profile-shape optimization under various performance criteria. Accuracy requirements, along with the need for modeling local features, often lead to high-dimensional design spaces that hinder the process of shape optimization and design through analysis.

Stepping-Stone Intrusion Detection Resistant to Intruders’ Chaff-Perturbation
Using stepping-stone intrusion (SSI), the intruder’s identity is very difficult to discover as it is concealed by a long interactive connection chain of hosts. An effective approach for SSI detection (SSID) is to determine how many connections are contained in a connection chain.

IoT Environment Using a Blockchain-Based Local-Global Consensus Manager
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network of interconnected devices that can communicate and share data over the Internet. The widespread adoption of smart devices within Internet of Things (IoT) networks poses considerable security challenges for their communication. To address these issues, blockchain technology, known for its decentralized and distributed nature, offers potential solutions within consensus-based authentication in IoT networks.

Deep Learning Models in Prostate Cancer Diagnosis
Prostate imaging refers to various techniques and procedures used to visualize the prostate gland for diagnostic and treatment purposes. Deep learning (DL) architectures have shown promising effectiveness and relative efficiency in prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis due to their ability to analyze complex patterns and extract features from medical imaging data.

Agricultural Image Segmentation
The Segment Anything Model (SAM) is a versatile image segmentation model that enables zero-shot segmentation of various objects in any image using prompts, including bounding boxes, points, texts, and more. However, studies have shown that the SAM performs poorly in agricultural tasks like crop disease segmentation and pest segmentation. To address this issue, the agricultural SAM adapter (ASA) is proposed, which incorporates agricultural domain expertise into the segmentation model through a simple but effective adapter technique.
