Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Intelligent methods associated with computational intelligence, such as artificial neural networks, fuzzy and rough sets and evolutionary computation, are nowadays used widely in different industrial environments. They allow us to gain a competitive advantage and enable sustainable and uninterrupted growth. Despite the advantages intelligent methods offer over the statistical methods used traditionally, such as an ability to learn from experience, self-organise or adapt in response to dynamically changing conditions, they still have not been utilised by the electronics industry on a large scale. This Special Issue therefore aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art, analytical models, case studies, software and hardware solutions, data analytics through design methodologies and technical solutions or practical applications.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Intelligent design of microelectronic and optoelectronic devices;
  • Intelligent quality assurance of electronic devices;
  • Intelligent software-defined networks;
  • Intelligent network performance analysis;
  • Intelligent network routing and capacity planning;
  • Intelligent fulfilment of QoS requirements;
  • Intelligent smart IoT applications;
  • Intelligent cloud, edge and fog infrastructure;
  • Intelligent electronics for quantum computing;
  • Intelligent electronics for scientific experiments;
  • Intelligent pattern recognition in audio and video.

The application of queueing theory is very broad. Examples include electronic communication systems and devices. New technologies, electronic communication systems, and devices are used by many modern organizations. However, this implies certain requirements and risks. The requirements are, first and foremost, reliability, which accounts for the complexity and interdependence of the system. On the other hand, the stochastic characteristics and complexity of these systems introduce risks related to the demands of reliability control, transmission quality, availability, and security. The research conducted so far is concerned with relatively simple queueing models that require certain assumptions to be made about the stochastic nature of the event stream. This is because complex queueing systems are very difficult to analyze using analytical methods. Hence, this paper attempts to use timed Petri nets in the modeling and performance evaluation of queueing systems belonging to the PQS (Priority Queueing System) group. IntServ and DiffServ architectures are discussed, as well as queueing systems used in quality-of-service assurance. A weighted PQS that eliminates the possibility of blocking lower-priority traffic is investigated. Based on a Petri model, the performance characteristics of the studied system are obtained. The impact of data generation on the system performance was analyzed, showing that temporal Petri nets can be effectively used in the modeling and performance evaluation of PQS systems. Full article

In the manuscript, a probability distribution of the queue length is studied in a model with group Markov arrivals, arbitrarily distributed service times and finite waiting room. After the period of suspension of service due to lack of packets, each new busy period is preceded by a random setup time. Integral equations for time-dependent queue-length distribution are derived by identifying renewal moments in the operation of the system and by applying total probability law. The representation for the solution of the system is found in terms of Laplace transforms. Computational examples illustrating the impact of system parameters on the queue-length distribution are included. Full article

By operating over a large bandwidth, the terahertz (THz) frequency band (0.3–3 THz) promises to deliver extremely high data rates. While the use of this band in cellular communications systems is not expected to happen within the next decade, various other use-cases such as wireless backhauling and point-to-point wireless access are on the immediate horizon. In this study, we develop an analytical propagation model for the case of ground-to-aircraft communications by explicitly accounting for THz-specific propagation phenomena including path loss, attenuation by different types of clouds, and atmospheric absorption at different altitudes. To this aim, we first exhaustively characterize the geometric, molecular, and structural properties of clouds for different weather conditions and Earth regions. Then, by applying the tools of stochastic geometry, we present the closed-form expression for received power at the aircraft. Our numerical results show that the type of weather forming different compositions of clouds provides a major impact on the overall path losses and thus the attained data rates. Specifically, the difference between sunny and rainy conditions may reach 30–50 dB. The overall path loss also heavily depends on the region time and the difference may reach 10–30 dB. The worst conditions are logically provided by rain, where the additional attenuation on top of sunny conditions reaches 50 dB over the whole THz band. The Middle Earth zone is also the worst out of the considered regions with additional attenuation reaching 30 dB. The developed model can be used as a first-order approximation for ground-to-aircraft THz channel modeling. Full article
