  1. Data volumes are exploding as sensors proliferate and become more capable. Edge computing is envisioned as a path to distribute processing and reduce latency. Many models of Edge computing consider small devices running conventional software. Our model includes a more lightweight execution engine for network microservices and a network scheduling framework to configure network processing elements to process streams and direct the appropriate traffic to them. In this article, we describe INDIANA, a complete framework for in-network microservices. We will describe how the two components-the INDIANA network Processing Element (InPE) and the Flange Network Operating System (NOS)-work together to achieve effective in-network processing to improve performance in edge to cloud environments. Our processing elements provide lightweight compute units optimized for efficient stream processing. These elements are customizable and vary in sophistication and resource consumption. The Flange NOS provides first-class flow based reasoning to drive function placement, network configuration, and load balancing that can respond dynamically to network conditions. We describe design considerations and discuss our approach and implementations. We evaluate the performance of stream processing and examine the performance of several exemplar applications on networks of increasing scale and complexity.

  2. This paper aims to enhance the computational efficiency of safety verification of neural network control systems by developing a guaranteed neural network model reduction method. First, a concept of model reduction precision is proposed to describe the guaranteed distance between the outputs of a neural network and its reduced-size version. A reachability-based algorithm is proposed to accurately compute the model reduction precision. Then, by substituting a reduced-size neural network controller into the closed-loop system, an algorithm to compute the reachable set of the original system is developed, which is able to support much more computationally efficient safety verification processes. Finally, the developed methods are applied to a case study of the Adaptive Cruise Control system with a neural network controller, which is shown to significantly reduce the computational time of safety verification and thus validate the effectiveness of the method.
