Overhead-Aware Multilayer Graph Learning for Network-Managed Multi-Attack Detection in RPL-Based Low-Power IoT Networks

This paper proposes an overhead-aware multilayer graph learning framework (Attn-ML-GCN) that models RPL-based IoT networks as four-layer graphs to effectively detect multiple attack families by capturing structural and temporal attack propagation, achieving significantly higher detection accuracy than flat-feature baselines while providing interpretable insights into network overhead impacts.

Self-Optimizing Enterprise RAG+SQL Knowledge Agents: Unified Retrieval, Schema-Aware Query Translation, Event Graph Reasoning, and Adaptive Model Routing

This paper presents a Self-Optimizing Enterprise RAG+SQL Knowledge Agent, a middleware architecture that unifies schema-aware SQL translation, hybrid document and graph retrieval, and adaptive model routing to treat complex enterprise question answering as a self-optimizing control problem over heterogeneous knowledge tools.

Specification-first convergence with an AI coding agent: a case study of dismantling a core architectural invariant across 189 files in a 717k-line codebase with no test oracle and no human code review

This paper presents a case study demonstrating that an AI coding agent, operating under a specification-first protocol with no human code review or pre-existing test oracle, successfully dismantled a core architectural invariant across 189 files in a 717k-line TypeScript codebase by iteratively refining a formal specification and correcting 201 defects over three days for $2,430.

Adversarial Contingency Auctions: Strategic Multi-Robot Task Allocation under Inconsistent Beliefs and Adversarial Path Blockages

This paper introduces Adversarial Contingency Auctions (ACA), a decentralized multi-robot task allocation framework that integrates contingency branching trees and Bayesian belief modeling to enable autonomous, localized recovery from adversarial path blockages without requiring global re-auctions, thereby significantly improving task completion rates and reducing communication overhead in dynamic, uncertain environments.

Leveraging Large Language Models for Assessments Grading and Personalised Feedback Generation: A Case of Software Engineering

This study evaluates the effectiveness of LLMs (ChatGPT-4 and Gemini 2.5) in grading Software Engineering assessments and generating personalized feedback, finding that while they produce high-quality feedback and preliminary scores, their limited correlation with instructor grading suggests they are best suited for a hybrid model that supports rather than replaces human instructors.

Machine Learning Approaches for Hourly Emergency Department Patient Arrival Forecasting: A Multi-Horizon Comparison with Operational Benchmarking at a Norwegian Hospital

This study demonstrates that machine learning models, particularly a Direct LSTM+Optuna architecture that avoids the "frozen-feature" problem inherent in recursive autoregressive approaches, significantly outperform Norway's operational calendar-based baseline for hourly emergency department patient arrival forecasting across both short and extended planning horizons.

Ecological Proportionality in Generative AI: The Ethics of Marginal Capability and Environmental Sufficiency

This article proposes an "Ecological Capability Proportionality Test" and a corresponding governance framework to ethically guide the selection of generative AI models by requiring that developers avoid significantly higher environmental costs unless the marginal ecological burden is justified by a proportionate, context-specific increase in capability.
