The rapid proliferation of emotion-aware web services has necessitated the analysis of multimodal user interactions. However, this introduces new vulnerabilities where adversaries exploit emotional signals to circumvent fraud detection systems. Despite its improved utility, the robustness of multimodal fraud detection against emotion-driven adversarial manipulation remains significantly underexplored. Existing paradigms often treat emotional cues as static features, overlooking the adversary's capability to strategically modulate multimodal signals (e.g., facial micro-expressions, vocal intonation, and textual styles) to mimic genuine behavior. Furthermore, prevalent evaluations are typically confined to unimodal perturbations and fail to account for context-consistent, cross-modal attacks, thereby compromising system reliability in real-world deployments. To bridge this gap, we propose Context-Emotion Adversarial Training (CEAT), a robust framework designed to fortify multimodal fraud detection against emotion-based attacks. CEAT leverages a Transformer-based architecture to synergistically model emotional features (e.g., visual dynamics and acoustic prosody) alongside semantic context derived from text, yielding a unified representation. Crucially, CEAT introduces a context-aware perturbation mechanism that injects noise into the emotional latent space during training. This process preserves semantic consistency while encouraging the learning of emotion-invariant and discriminative representations. Additionally, a contrastive learning objective is integrated to maximize the distributional divergence between genuine and adversarial samples within the latent manifold. Extensive experiments on multimodal benchmarks demonstrate that CEAT significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, exhibiting superior robustness under simulated emotion-driven attack scenarios.

Modern cloud applications, from interative web services to mobile and WoT workloads, generate highly dynamic multi-tenant network demands. Guaranteeing priority-aware bandwidth remains challenging: legacy shapers like Linux Traffic Control Hierarchical Token Bucket are static and unscalable, while cloud-native solutions such as Cilium offer only coarse-grained rate limiting. We present BeeQoS, a cloud-native QoS system that delivers low-latency, adaptive, and scalable multi-priority bandwidth guarantees. BeeQoS consists of an eBPF-powered data plane for high-performance, fine-grained per-packet shaping, a demand-aware control plane that senses real-time flow requirements and adaptively reallocates bandwidth, and seamless Kubernetes integration for expressive policy specification and cluster-wide scalable deployment. Evaluation shows that BeeQoS scales to 1K+ flows with stable performance, boosts high-/medium-priority throughput by 14.6%/36.4%, cuts median latency by 72.4%, reduces deployment overhead, and improves video QoE by 27.3% over state-of-practice baselines.

While existing far memory and disaggregated memory solutions provide a foundation for addressing limitations of single-node memory capacity and inefficient resource allocation in data centers, they predominantly focus on host memory, overlooking the critical demands of GPU-centric workloads. A key bottleneck in scaling GPU memory is the lack of connectivity and interoperability between GPUs, which is exacerbated by their heterogeneity. To bridge this gap, this paper proposes UHM, a unified data transferring and memory pooling scheme for heterogeneous GPU memories. UHM establishes the communication channels between heterogeneous GPU/host memories and leverages double data buffers for pipelined and reliable transfer. Furthermore, UHM unifies both local and remote memories to build a memory pool. The pooling scheme effectively integrates local and remote resources, performs efficient caching management in local memory, and optimizes memory block management for remote memory resources. Evaluation on a heterogeneous GPU cluster demonstrates that UHM significantly reduces the data transfer latency (up to 87.2%), improves the cache hit ratio, reduces runtime memory allocation latency (up to 94.7%), while enhancing the overall memory utilization (24.7%).

As network scale and complexity continue to increase, managing network configurations has become an increasingly challenging task. Existing configuration tools often depend on low-level, abstract intermediate representations, which require users to have substantial technical expertise. This reliance not only increases the learning curve but also heightens the risk of configuration errors. Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong potential for automating tasks across various domains. However, their applications to network configuration generation remain limited due to several challenges, including hallucination, restricted context length, and insufficient adaptability to domain-specific requirements. To address these issues, we propose ConfAgent, an advanced network configuration generation system powered by a multi-model intelligent agent. ConfAgent comprises four key components: a conflict detector, an information extractor, a routing algorithm coder, and a formal synthesizer. These components collaborate to accurately interpret complex configuration intents, detect potential conflicts, and generate robust code and network configurations through intuitive natural language interactions. Extensive experiments conducted on the NetConfEval benchmark demonstrate that ConfAgent consistently outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods by margins ranging from 36 % to 100 %, particularly excelling in configuration tasks for large-scale network topologies.

Abstract In recent years, with the development of low‐earth orbit broadband satellites, the combination of multi‐path transmission and software‐defined networking (SDN) for satellite networks has seen rapid advancement. The integration of SDN and multi‐path transmission contributes to improving the efficiency of transmission and reducing network congestion. However, the current SDN controllers do not support the multi‐path QUIC protocol (MPQUIC), and the routing algorithm used in current satellite networks based on minimum hop count struggles to meet the real‐time requirements for some applications. Therefore, this paper designs and implements an SDN controller that supports the MPQUIC protocol and proposes a multi‐objective optimization‐based routing algorithm. This algorithm selects paths with lower propagation delays and higher available bandwidth for subflow transmission to improve transmission throughput. Considering the high‐speed mobility of satellite nodes and frequent link switching, this paper also designs a flow table update algorithm based on the predictability of satellite network topology. It enables proactive rerouting upon link switching, ensuring stable transmission. The performance of the proposed solution is evaluated through satellite network simulation environments. The experimental results highlight that SDN‐MPQUIC significantly improves performance metrics: it reduces average completion time by 37.3% to 59.3% compared to QSMPS and by 52.8% to 72.4% compared to Disjoint for files with different sizes. Additionally, SDN‐MPQUIC achieves an average throughput improvement of 81.4% compared to QSMPS and 147.8% compared to Disjoint, while demonstrating a 26.3% lower retransmission rate than QSMPS.

Information-centric satellite networks play a crucial role in remote sensing applications, particularly in the transmission of remote sensing images. However, the occurrence of burst traffic poses significant challenges in meeting the increased bandwidth demands. Traditional content delivery networks are ill-equipped to handle such bursts due to their pre-deployed content. In this paper, we propose an optimal replication strategy for mitigating burst traffic in information-centric satellite networks, specifically focusing on the transmission of remote sensing images. Our strategy involves selecting the most optimal replication delivery satellite node when multiple users subscribe to the same remote sensing content within a short time, effectively reducing network transmission data and preventing throughput degradation caused by burst traffic expansion. We formulate the content delivery process as a multi-objective optimization problem and apply Markov decision processes to determine the optimal value for burst traffic reduction. To address these challenges, we leverage federated reinforcement learning techniques. Additionally, we use bloom filters with subdivision and data identification methods to enable rapid retrieval and encoding of remote sensing images. Through software-based simulations using a low Earth orbit satellite constellation, we validate the effectiveness of our proposed strategy, achieving a significant 17% reduction in the average delivery delay. This paper offers valuable insights into efficient content delivery in satellite networks, specifically targeting the transmission of remote sensing images, and presents a promising approach to mitigate burst traffic challenges in information-centric environments.

With the reduction in manufacturing and launch costs of low Earth orbit satellites and the advantages of large coverage and high data transmission rates, satellites have become an important part of data transmission in air-ground networks. However, due to the factors such as geographical location and people’s living habits, the differences in user’ demand for multimedia data will result in unbalanced network traffic, which may lead to network congestion and affect data transmission. In addition, in traditional satellite network transmission, the convergence of network information acquisition is slow and global network information cannot be collected in a fine-grained manner, which is not conducive to calculating optimal routes. The service quality requirements cannot be satisfied when multiple service requests are made. Based on the above, in this paper artificial intelligence technology is applied to the satellite network, and a software-defined network is used to obtain the global network information, perceive network traffic, develop comprehensive decisions online through reinforcement learning, and update the optimal routing strategy in real time. Simulation results show that the proposed reinforcement learning algorithm has good convergence performance and strong generalizability. Compared with traditional routing, the throughput is 8% higher, and the proposed method has load balancing characteristics.
