Lifelong Federated Reinforcement Learning: A Learning Architecture for Navigation in Cloud Robotic Systems
This paper was motivated by the problem of how to make robots fuse and
transfer their experience so that they can effectively use prior knowledge and
quickly adapt to new environments. To address the problem, we present a
learning architecture for navigation in cloud robotic systems: Lifelong
Federated Reinforcement Learning (LFRL). In the work, We propose a knowledge
fusion algorithm for upgrading a shared model deployed on the cloud. Then,
effective transfer learning methods in LFRL are introduced. LFRL is consistent
with human cognitive science and fits well in cloud robotic systems.
Experiments show that LFRL greatly improves the efficiency of reinforcement
learning for robot navigation. The cloud robotic system deployment also shows
that LFRL is capable of fusing prior knowledge. In addition, we release a cloud
robotic navigation-learning website based on LFRL

Abstract
In response to the new challenges in the design and operation of communication networks, and taking inspiration from how living beings deal with complexity and scalability, in this paper we introduce an innovative system concept called COgnition-BAsed NETworkS (COBANETS). The proposed approach develops around the systematic application of advanced machine learning techniques and, in particular, unsupervised deep learning and probabilistic generative models for system-wide learning, modeling, optimization, and data representation. Moreover, in COBANETS, we propose to combine this learning architecture with the emerging network virtualization paradigms, which make it possible to actuate automatic optimization and reconfiguration strategies at the system level, thus fully unleashing the potential of the learning approach. Compared with the past and current research efforts in this area, the technical approach outlined in this paper is deeply interdisciplinary and more comprehensive, calling for the synergic combination of expertise of computer scientists, communications and networking engineers, and cognitive scientists, with the ultimate aim of breaking new ground through a profound rethinking of how the modern understanding of cognition can be used in the management and optimization of telecommunication network
A fog computing solution for context-based privacy leakage detection for android healthcare devices
Intelligent medical service system integrates wireless internet of things (WIoT), including medical sensors, wireless communications, and middleware techniques, so as to collect and analyze patients' data to examine their physical conditions by many personal health devices (PHDs) in real time. However, large amount of malicious codes on the Android system can compromise consumers' privacy, and further threat the hospital management or even the patients' health. Furthermore, this sensor-rich system keeps generating large amounts of data and saturates the middleware system. To address these challenges, we propose a fog computing security and privacy protection solution. Specifically, first, we design the security and privacy protection framework based on the fog computing to improve tele-health and tele-medicine infrastructure. Then, we propose a context-based privacy leakage detection method based on the combination of dynamic and static information. Experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve higher detection accuracy and lower energy consumption compared with other state-of-art methods.This work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (General Program) under Grant No.61572253, the 13th Five-Year Plan Equipment Pre-Research Projects Fund under Grant No.61402420101HK02001, and the Aviation Science Fund under Grant No. 2016ZC52030
