• Abstract: In a globalized and interconnected world, interoperability has become a key concept for advancing tactical scenarios. Federated Coalition Networks (FCN) enable cooperation between entities from multiple nations while allowing each to maintain control over their systems. However, this interoperability necessitates the sharing of increasing amounts of information between different tactical assets, raising the need for higher security measures. Emerging technologies like blockchain drive a revolution in secure communications, paving the way for new tactical scenarios. In this work, we propose a blockchain-based framework to enhance the resilience and security of the management of these networks. We offer a guide to FCN design to help a broad audience understand the military networks in international missions by a use case and key functions applied to a proposed architecture. We evaluate its effectiveness and performance in information encryption to validate this framework.

• Asynchronous Perception-Action-Communication with Graph Neural Networks [93.58250297774728]
  Collaboration in large robot swarms to achieve a common global objective is a challenging problem in large environments. The robots must execute a Perception-Action-Communication loop -- they perceive their local environment, communicate with other robots, and take actions in real time. Recently, this has been addressed using Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) for applications such as flocking and coverage control. This paper proposes a framework for asynchronous PAC in robot swarms, where decentralized GNNs are used to compute navigation actions and generate messages for communication.

• A Blockchain-based Decentralized Federated Learning Framework with Committee Consensus [20.787163387487816]
  In mobile computing scenarios, federated learning protects users from exposing their private data, while cooperatively training the global model for a variety of real-world applications. Security of federated learning is increasingly being questioned, due to the malicious clients or central servers' constant attack to the global model or user privacy data. We propose a decentralized federated learning framework based on blockchain, i.e., a Committee consensus (BFLC) framework.
