Decision-Aware Semantic State Synchronization in Compute-First Networking

In Compute-First Networking (CFN), an Access Point (AP) makes task offloading decisions based on resource state information reported by a Service Node (SN). A fundamental challenge arises from the trade-off between update overhead and decision accuracy: Frequent state updates consume limited network resources, while infrequent updates lead to stale state views and degraded task performance, especially under high system load. Existing approaches based on periodic updates or Age of Information (AoI) mainly focus on temporal freshness and often overlook whether a state change is actually relevant to offloading decisions. This paper proposes SenseCFN, a decision-aware state synchronization framework for CFN. Instead of synchronizing raw resource states, SenseCFN focuses on identifying state changes that are likely to alter offloading decisions. To this end, we introduce a lightweight semantic state representation that captures decision-relevant system characteristics, along with a Semantic Deviation Index (SDI) to quantify the impact of state shifts on decision outcomes. Based on SDI, the SN triggers updates only when significant decision-impacting changes are detected. Meanwhile, the AP performs offloading decisions using cached semantic states with explicit awareness of potential staleness. The update and offloading policies are jointly optimized using a centralized training with distributed execution (CTDE) approach. Simulation results show that SenseCFN maintains a task success rate of up to 99.6% in saturation-prone scenarios, outperforming baseline methods by more than 25%, while reducing status update frequency by approximately 70% to 96%. These results indicate that decision-aware state synchronization provides an effective and practical alternative to purely time-based update strategies in CFN.

Unlocking air traffic flow prediction through microscopic aircraft-state modeling

Short-term air traffic flow prediction in terminal airspace is essential for proactive air traffic management. Existing approaches predominantly model traffic flow as aggregated time series, despite traffic dynamics being governed by aircraft states and interactions in continuous airspace. Such aggregation obscures fine-grained information including aircraft kinematics, boundary interactions, and control intent. Here we present AeroSense, a state-to-flow modeling framework that predicts future traffic flow directly from instantaneous airspace situations represented as dynamic sets of aircraft states derived from ADS-B trajectories. By establishing an end-to-end mapping from microscopic aircraft states to future regional traffic flow, AeroSense preserves aircraft-level dynamics while naturally accommodating varying traffic density without relying on historical look-back windows. Experiments on a large-scale real-world dataset show that AeroSense consistently improves predictive accuracy over aggregation-based forecasting approaches, particularly during high-density traffic periods. These findings suggest that instantaneous airspace situations provide an effective alternative to conventional time-series-based traffic forecasting paradigms.

Multiplex Heterogeneous Graph Convolutional Network

Heterogeneous graph convolutional networks have gained great popularity in tackling various network analytical tasks on heterogeneous network data, ranging from link prediction to node classification. However, most existing works ignore the relation heterogeneity with multiplex network between multi-typed nodes and different importance of relations in meta-paths for node embedding, which can hardly capture the heterogeneous structure signals across different relations. To tackle this challenge, this work proposes a Multiplex Heterogeneous Graph Convolutional Network (MHGCN) for heterogeneous network embedding. Our MHGCN can automatically learn the useful heterogeneous meta-path interactions of different lengths in multiplex heterogeneous networks through multi-layer convolution aggregation. Additionally, we effectively integrate both multi-relation structural signals and attribute semantics into the learned node embeddings with both unsupervised and semi-supervised learning paradigms. Extensive experiments on five real-world datasets with various network analytical tasks demonstrate the significant superiority of MHGCN against state-of-the-art embedding baselines in terms of all evaluation metrics.

Mutual Distillation Learning Network for Trajectory-User Linking

Trajectory-User Linking (TUL), which links trajectories to users who generate them, has been a challenging problem due to the sparsity in check-in mobility data. Existing methods ignore the utilization of historical data or rich contextual features in check-in data, resulting in poor performance for TUL task. In this paper, we propose a novel Mutual distillation learning network to solve the TUL problem for sparse check-in mobility data, named MainTUL. Specifically, MainTUL is composed of a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) trajectory encoder that models sequential patterns of input trajectory and a temporal-aware Transformer trajectory encoder that captures long-term time dependencies for the corresponding augmented historical trajectories. Then, the knowledge learned on historical trajectories is transferred between the two trajectory encoders to guide the learning of both encoders to achieve mutual distillation of information. Experimental results on two real-world check-in mobility datasets demonstrate the superiority of MainTUL against state-of-the-art baselines. The source code of our model is available at https://github.com/Onedean/MainTUL.

Online Discovery of Evolving Groups over Massive-Scale Trajectory Streams

The increasing pervasiveness of object tracking technologies leads to huge volumes of spatiotemporal data collected in the form of trajectory streams. The discovery of useful group patterns from moving objects' movement behaviours in trajectory streams is critical for real-time applications ranging from transportation management to military surveillance. Motivated by this, we first propose a novel pattern, called evolving group, which models the unusual group events of moving objects that travel together within density connected clusters in evolving streaming trajectories. Our theoretical analysis and empirical study on the Osaka Pedestrian data and Beijing Taxi data demonstrate its effectiveness in capturing the development, evolution, and trend of group events of moving objects in streaming context. Moreover, we propose a discovery method that efficiently supports online detection of evolving groups over massive-scale trajectory streams using a sliding window. It contains three phases along with a set of novel optimization techniques designed to minimize the computation costs. Furthermore, to scale to huge workloads over evolving streams, we extend our discovery method to a parallel framework by using a sector-based partition. Our comprehensive empirical study demonstrates that our online discovery framework is effective and efficient on real-world high-volume trajectory streams.

Scalable Motif Counting for Large-scale Temporal Graphs

One fundamental problem in temporal graph analysis is to count the occurrences of small connected subgraph patterns (i.e., motifs), which benefits a broad range of real-world applications, such as anomaly detection, structure prediction, and network representation learning. However, existing works focused on exacting temporal motif are not scalable to large-scale temporal graph data, due to their heavy computational costs or inherent inadequacy of parallelism. In this work, we propose a scalable parallel framework for exactly counting temporal motifs in large-scale temporal graphs. We first categorize the temporal motifs based on their distinct properties, and then design customized algorithms that offer efficient strategies to exactly count the motif instances of each category. Moreover, our compact data structures, namely triple and quadruple counters, enable our algorithms to directly identify the temporal motif instances of each category, according to edge information and the relationship between edges, therefore significantly improving the counting efficiency. Based on the proposed counting algorithms, we design a hierarchical parallel framework that features both inter- and intra-node parallel strategies, and fully leverages the multi-threading capacity of modern CPU to concurrently count all temporal motifs. Extensive experiments on sixteen real-world temporal graph datasets demonstrate the superiority and capability of our proposed framework for temporal motif counting, achieving up to 538* speedup compared to the state-of-the-art methods.
