Abstract: In order to meet the service requirements of the emerging applications such as extended reality, 8K ultra-high definition video transmission and industrial Internet of Things in terms of massive user access, heterogeneous mobile traffic processing, ultra-low latency, ultra-high reliability and other aspects, cloud-edge collaboration, as the core of cloud radio access networks (C-RAN), has been increasingly concerned and risen to the height of national development strategy. At present, the problem on cooperative allocation and optimization of cloud-edge-end resources in C-RAN is still in the initial research stage, lacking systematic and in-depth research, which makes it difficult to adaptively guarantee the differentiated service requirements of network business. Therefore, by sorting out and referring to the research ideas and methods related to cloud computing and fog computing, and drawing on future network concepts such as "separation of control and forwarding" in software-defined networking and "in-network caching" in information-centric networking, the project focuses on collaborative allocation and intelligent optimization mechanisms of service-driven C-RAN resources from the perspective of cross-layer and cross-domain cooperation. To improve the overall service capacity and satisfy the differentiated service requirements of massive applications, key technologies such as multi-user-oriented cross-layer collaboration allocation and intelligent optimization of cloud-edge-terminal resources, multi-business-oriented cross-layer collaboration and intelligent resource allocation, multi-business-oriented cross-domain collaboration and intelligent resource allocation will be solved in C-RAN environments, providing customized service for network applications.

Speech Title:Anti-Jamming Communication for UAV Swarms: Joint Resource Allocation and Trajectory Optimization Using Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning
Abstract:The Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) communication faces challenges arising from scarce spectrum resources and malicious jamming. This presentation introduces a novel spectrum-waterfall-assisted multi-agent anti-jamming framework for UAV swarms by designing joint resource allocation and trajectory optimization strategies. Based upon formulating the problem as a decentralized partially observable parameterized-action Markov Decision Process, a self-attention-based convolutional neural network is first employed to extract spatiotemporal spectrum-waterfall knowledge, and then a multi-agent hybrid Proximal Policy Optimization based anti-jamming scheme is proposed to maximize the long-term utility-cost trade-off. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the benchmarks in terms of both the convergence and the long-term utility-cost trade-off, while achieving higher success rate with lower energy consumption with varying numbers of channels.

Speech Title: The Forensic Examination and Recovery of Transient Messages in Android Social Media Applications
Abstract: This paper talks about requiring effective forensic recovery techniques for auto-deleted messages, such as Snapchat, WhatsApp, and Instagram, on the Android platform. Their temporality, coupled with encryption and deletion protocols, forms a great challenge for dilemmas in digital forensics and legal investigations. A specific specialised framework for Android forensics is then introduced to include rooting, memory extraction, and network analysis in the secured acquisition of transient messages legally. The paper assessed the effectiveness of the framework and highlighted the need for such techniques to improve the forensic capability so as to improve the balance between spending efforts to recover and preserve privacy.

Speech Title: Deepfake Image Detection: A Universal Approach via Vision-Language Models
Abstract: To address the issues of performance degradation and insufficient generalization ability of deepfake detection models when detecting fake images outside the training distribution, a general deepfake detection model (FEFA) based on vision-language models is proposed, aiming to leverage the zero-shot learning capability of vision-language models to improve forgery detection performance. The forgery-aware adapter (FAA) is integrated into the image encoder of the vision-language model to extract forgery features from both the image and frequency domains. In this work, a frequency band attention mechanism and a frequency detail enhancement component are further incorporated into the frequency domain branch of the FAA to enhance its capability in modeling frequency domain forgery characteristics. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves an average accuracy of 94.75% across multiple public datasets, representing an improvement of 10.84% compared to current baseline model, thereby validating the model's cross-dataset generalization.
