Authors: Daniel Casini, Jian-Jia Chen, Jing Li, Federico Reghenzani, and Harun Teper

Published in: LITES, Volume 11, Issue 1 (2026). Leibniz Transactions on Embedded Systems, Volume 11, Issue 1

Abstract
The Robot Operating System 2 (ROS 2) has emerged as a relevant middleware framework for robotic applications, offering modularity, distributed execution, and communication. In the last six years, ROS 2 has drawn increasing attention from the real-time systems community and industry. This survey presents a comprehensive overview of research efforts that analyze, enhance, and extend ROS 2 to support real-time execution. We first provide a detailed description of the internal scheduling mechanisms of ROS 2 and its layered architecture, including the interaction with DDS-based communication and other communication middleware. We then review key contributions from the literature, covering timing analysis for both single- and multi-threaded executors, metrics such as response time, reaction time, and data age, and different communication modes. The survey also discusses community-driven enhancements to the ROS 2 runtime, including new executor algorithm designs, real-time GPU management, and microcontroller support via micro-ROS. Furthermore, we summarize techniques for bounding DDS communication delays, message filters, and profiling tools that have been developed to support analysis and experimentation. To help systematize this growing body of work, we introduce taxonomies that classify the surveyed contributions based on different criteria. This survey aims to guide both researchers and practitioners in understanding and improving the real-time capabilities of ROS 2.

On the Computational Cost of Knowledge Graph Embeddings

Authors: Victor Charpenay, Mansour Zoubeirou A Mayaki, and Antoine Zimmermann

Published in: TGDK, Volume 4, Issue 1 (2026). Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 4, Issue 1

Abstract
Over a decade, numerous Knowledge Graph Embedding (KGE) models have been designed and evaluated on reference datasets, always with increasing performance. In this paper, we re-evaluate these models with respect to their computational efficiency during training, by estimating the computational cost of the procedure expressed in floating-point operations. We design a cost model based on analytical expressions and apply it on a collection of 20 KGE models, representative of the state-of-the-art. We show that dimensionality or parameter efficiency, used in the literature to compare models with each other, are not suitable to evaluate the true cost of models. Through fixed-budget experiments, a novel approach to evaluate KGE models based on cost estimates, we re-assess the relative performance of model families compared to the state-of-the-art. Bilinear models such as ComplEx underperform with a low computational budget while hyperbolic linear models appear to offer no particular benefit compared to simpler Euclidian models, especially the MuRE model. Neural models, such as ConvE or CompGCN, achieve reasonable performance in the literature but their high computational cost appears unnecessary when compared with other models. The trade-off between efficiency and expressivity of both linear and neural models is to be further explored.

SEKHMET: Hash-Chained Perception Contracts for Heterogeneous Real-Time Edge Clusters

Authors: Mohamed El-Hadedy

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 140, 7th Workshop on Next Generation Real-Time Embedded Systems (NG-RES 2026)

Abstract
Real-time perception pipelines on edge clusters are often scheduled as ordinary latency-sensitive pods, even when safety depends on sustained throughput and stable model outputs. This paper presents SEKHMET (Scheduling Edge Kubernetes with Hash-chained Monitoring of End-to-end Telemetry), a perception-aware orchestration layer for lightweight Kubernetes (K3s) clusters that exports window-level perception status as a control-plane signal. SEKHMET evaluates a perception-integrity contract (PIC) once per fixed-duration window and commits each window outcome into a hash-chained perception root that is published to an otherwise unmodified K3s control plane. The prototype uses a Raspberry Pi 5 perception-root node with a Hailo-8L accelerator, USB camera, and GPS receiver running a YOLOv8s detector, while up to five additional nodes generate elastic interference via swarm-stress. Under contract-unaware scheduling with multi-node interference, the end-to-end perception loop delivers ∼0.8-2.2 FPS and violates the PIC timing requirement in most of 214 windows, despite apparently healthy CPU and memory metrics. Under the same and heavier interference, SEKHMET sustains 27-30 FPS with contract_ok = True across 400 protected windows while publishing one 96-byte record per T=5s window (19.2 B/s control-plane payload). These results show that making perception requirements control-plane-visible can turn fragile best-effort perception into a protected cluster-level resource on commodity edge hardware.

Quantum Advantage from Sampling Shallow Circuits: Beyond Hardness of Marginals

Authors: Daniel Grier, Daniel M. Kane, Jackson Morris, Anthony Ostuni, and Kewen Wu

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 362, 17th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2026)

Abstract
We construct a family of distributions {𝒟_n}_n with 𝒟_n over {0, 1}ⁿ and a family of depth-7 quantum circuits {C_n}_n such that 𝒟_n is produced exactly by C_n with the all zeros state as input, yet any constant-depth classical circuit with bounded fan-in gates evaluated on any binary product distribution has total variation distance 1 - e^{-Ω(n)} from 𝒟_n. Moreover, the quantum circuits we construct are geometrically local and use a relatively standard gate set: Hadamard, controlled-phase, CNOT, and Toffoli gates. All previous separations of this type suffer from some undesirable constraint on the classical circuit model or the quantum circuits witnessing the separation. Our family of distributions is inspired by the Parity Halving Problem of Watts, Kothari, Schaeffer, and Tal (STOC, 2019), which built on the work of Bravyi, Gosset, and König (Science, 2018) to separate shallow quantum and classical circuits for relational problems.

Identity Testing for Circuits with Exponentiation Gates

Authors: Jiatu Li and Mengdi Wu

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 362, 17th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2026)

Abstract
Motivated by practical applications in the design of optimization compilers for neural networks, we initiated the study of identity testing problems for arithmetic circuits augmented with exponentiation gates that compute the real function x↦ e^x. These circuits compute real functions of form P(→x)/P'(→x), where both P(→x) and P'(→x) are exponential polynomials ∑_{i = 1}^k f_i(→x)⋅ exp((g_i(→x))/(h_i(→x))), for polynomials f_i(→x),g_i(→x), and h_i(→x). We formalize a black-box query model over finite fields for this class of circuits, which is mathematical simple and reflects constraints faced by real-world neural network compilers. We proved that a simple and efficient randomized identity testing algorithm achieves perfect completeness and non-trivial soundness. Concurrent with our work, the algorithm has been implemented in the optimization compiler Mirage by Wu et al. (OSDI 2025), demonstrating promising empirical performance in both efficiency and soundness error. Finally, we propose a number-theoretic conjecture under which our algorithm is sound with high probability.

Time-Optimal and Energy-Efficient Deterministic Consensus

Authors: Shachar Meir, Hugo Mirault, David Peleg, and Peter Robinson

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 361, 29th International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems (OPODIS 2025)

Abstract
We study fault-tolerant consensus in a variant of the synchronous message passing model, where, in each round, every node can choose to be awake or asleep. This is known as the sleeping model (Chatterjee, Gmyr, Pandurangan PODC 2020) and defines the awake complexity (also called energy complexity), which measures the maximum number of rounds that any node is awake throughout the execution. Only awake nodes can send and receive messages in a given round and all messages sent to sleeping nodes are lost. We present new deterministic consensus algorithms that tolerate up to f < n crash failures, where n is the number of nodes. Our algorithms match the optimal time complexity lower bound of f+1 rounds. For multi-value consensus, where the input values are chosen from some possibly large set, we achieve an energy complexity of 𝒪(⌈ f² / n ⌉) rounds, whereas for binary consensus, we show an algorithm to achieve 𝒪(⌈ f / √n ⌉) energy complexity.

Where to Place Your TEE? In Search of a Censorship-Resilient Design for Rollup Sequencers

Authors: Andrei Arusoaie, Claudiu-Nicu Bărbieru, Oana-Otilia Captarencu, Pascal Felber, Corentin Libert, Emanuel Onica, Etienne Rivière, Valerio Schiavoni, and Peterson Yuhala

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 361, 29th International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems (OPODIS 2025)

Abstract
Ethereum is the dominant blockchain ecosystem capable of executing Turing-complete smart contracts. Rollups gained significant traction as the primary layer 2 (L2) solution meant to bring horizontal scalability to the main Ethereum network (L1). A core component of any rollup is the sequencer, which creates new L2 blocks to be submitted in rollup batches to L1. In most of the current rollup architectures, this component is centralised. As a result, these designs are prone to inconspicuous censorship practices by the sequencer. Trusted execution environments (TEEs) can guarantee the integrity of various sequencer components, which is instrumental in addressing censorship. However, the reaction of the system design to censorship attempts depends on where a TEE is integrated and which components it protects. In particular, this reaction is limited in the case of a monolithic TEE-protected sequencer design. Proposer-Builder Separation (PBS) is a non-monolithic paradigm adopted on L1, which separates the production of blocks from proposing them for inclusion in the blockchain. Recently, PBS has been considered for integration with L2 sequencers, with an impact on alleviating censorship. In this paper, we explore the design space of TEE-integrating PBS and non-PBS sequencer variants. First, we introduce a formal framework for the censorship actions that captures the specificity of the L2 sequencer. Then, we analyse to what extent the different designs address these censorship actions. Our main contribution is a novel design variation that allows for a precise observation of censored transactions. In the presence of TEEs, in a PBS setting, we demonstrate this precise observability, which is necessary to enable resilience to censorship.

Mining Inter-Document Argument Structures in Scientific Papers for an Argument Web

Authors: Florian Ruosch, Cristina Sarasua, and Abraham Bernstein

Published in: TGDK, Volume 3, Issue 3 (2025). Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 3, Issue 3

Abstract
In Argument Mining, predicting argumentative relations between texts (or spans) remains one of the most challenging aspects, even more so in the cross-document setting. This paper makes three key contributions to advance research in this domain. We first extend an existing dataset, the Sci-Arg corpus, by annotating it with explicit inter-document argumentative relations, thereby allowing arguments to be distributed over several documents forming an Argument Web; these new annotations are published using Semantic Web technologies (RDF, OWL). Second, we explore and evaluate three automated approaches for predicting these inter-document argumentative relations, establishing critical baselines on the new dataset. We find that a simple classifier based on discourse indicators with access to context outperforms neural methods. Third, we conduct a comparative analysis of these approaches for both intra- and inter-document settings, identifying statistically significant differences in results that indicate the necessity of distinguishing between these two scenarios. Our findings highlight significant challenges in this complex domain and open crucial avenues for future research on the Argument Web of Science, particularly for those interested in leveraging Semantic Web technologies and knowledge graphs to understand scholarly discourse. With this, we provide the first stepping stones in the form of a benchmark dataset, three baseline methods, and an initial analysis for a systematic exploration of this field relevant to the Web of Data and Science.

LLM-Supported Manufacturing Mapping Generation

Authors: Wilma Johanna Schmidt, Irlan Grangel-González, Adrian Paschke, and Evgeny Kharlamov

Published in: TGDK, Volume 3, Issue 3 (2025). Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 3, Issue 3

Abstract
In large manufacturing companies, such as Bosch, that operate thousands of production lines with each comprising up to dozens of production machines and other equipment, even simple inventory questions such as of location and quantities of a particular equipment type require non-trivial solutions. Addressing these questions requires to integrate multiple heterogeneous data sets which is time consuming and error prone and demands domain as well as knowledge experts. Knowledge graphs (KGs) are practical for consolidating inventory data by bringing it into the same format and linking inventory items. However, the KG creation and maintenance itself pose challenges as mappings are needed to connect data sets and ontologies. In this work, we address these challenges by exploring LLM-supported and context-enhanced generation of both YARRRML and RML mappings. Facing large ontologies in the manufacturing domain and token limitations in LLM prompts, we further evaluate ontology reduction methods in our approach. We evaluate our approach both quantitatively against reference mappings created manually by experts and, for YARRRML, also qualitatively with expert feedback. This work extends the exploration of the challenges with LLM-supported and context-enhanced mapping generation YARRRML [Schmidt et al., 2025] by comprehensive analyses on RML mappings and an ontology reduction evaluation. We further publish the source code of this work. Our work provides a valuable support when creating manufacturing mappings and supports data and schema updates.

NNP-NET: Accelerating t-SNE Graph Drawing for Very Large Graphs by Neural Networks

Authors: Ilan Hartskeerl, Tamara Mchedlidze, Simon van Wageningen, Peter Vangorp, and Alexandru Telea

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 357, 33rd International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2025)

Abstract
tsNET is a recent graph drawing (GD) method that creates high quality layouts but suffers from a very high runtime. We present a new GD method, NNP-NET, which reduces tsNET’s time complexity to generate layouts for very large graphs in seconds. Additionally, we extend tsNET to support drawing graphs with edge weights. We accomplish this by replacing tsNET’s t-SNE projection with Neural Network Projection (NNP), a fast dimensionality reduction (DR) method that can imitate any given DR method. Our experiments show that NNP-NET gets good quality results when compared to other state-of-the art GD methods while yielding a better computational scalability.

Energy-Efficient Line Planning by Implementing Express Lines

Authors: Sarah Roth and Anita Schöbel

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 137, 25th Symposium on Algorithmic Approaches for Transportation Modelling, Optimization, and Systems (ATMOS 2025)

Abstract
While a shift from individual transport to public transport reduces greenhouse gas emissions, public transport itself also consumes a non-negligible amount of energy. Acceleration processes have a high part in that, especially in urban transportation networks where stops are not far from each other. Express lines which skip stops hence use less energy than a vehicle on a normal line on the same route. Additionally, they increase the attractiveness of public transport by reducing travel times. In this paper, we introduce the express line planning problem ELP which extends the well-known line planning problem by the additional planning of express lines and which stops they skip. The problem is stated in a bicriteria setting minimizing the passengers travel time and the energy consumption of the public transport system. We investigate the problem’s complexity and develop two different MIP formulations and show their equivalence. The models are tested numerically on medium sized instances.

Resilience in Knowledge Graph Embeddings

Authors: Arnab Sharma, N'Dah Jean Kouagou, and Axel-Cyrille Ngonga Ngomo

Published in: TGDK, Volume 3, Issue 2 (2025). Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 3, Issue 2

Abstract
In recent years, knowledge graphs have gained interest and witnessed widespread applications in various domains, such as information retrieval, question-answering, recommendation systems, amongst others. Large-scale knowledge graphs to this end have demonstrated their utility in effectively representing structured knowledge. To further facilitate the application of machine learning techniques, knowledge graph embedding models have been developed. Such models can transform entities and relationships within knowledge graphs into vectors. However, these embedding models often face challenges related to noise, missing information, distribution shift, adversarial attacks, etc. This can lead to sub-optimal embeddings and incorrect inferences, thereby negatively impacting downstream applications. While the existing literature has focused so far on adversarial attacks on KGE models, the challenges related to the other critical aspects remain unexplored. In this paper, we, first of all, give a unified definition of resilience, encompassing several factors such as generalisation, in-distribution generalization, distribution adaption, and robustness. After formalizing these concepts for machine learning in general, we define them in the context of knowledge graphs. To find the gap in the existing works on resilience in the context of knowledge graphs, we perform a systematic survey, taking into account all these aspects mentioned previously. Our survey results show that most of the existing works focus on a specific aspect of resilience, namely robustness. After categorizing such works based on their respective aspects of resilience, we discuss the challenges and future research directions.

GraphRAG on Technical Documents - Impact of Knowledge Graph Schema

Authors: Henri Scaffidi, Melinda Hodkiewicz, Caitlin Woods, and Nicole Roocke

Published in: TGDK, Volume 3, Issue 2 (2025). Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 3, Issue 2

Abstract
Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is seeing rapid adoption in industry to enable employees to query information captured in proprietary data for their organisation. In this work, we test the impact of domain-relevant knowledge graph schemas on the results of Microsoft’s GraphRAG pipeline. Our approach aims to address the poor quality of GraphRAG responses on technical reports rich in domain-specific terms. The use case involves technical reports about geology, chemistry and mineral processing published by the Minerals Research Institute of Western Australia (MRIWA). Four schemas are considered: a simple five-class minerals domain expert-developed schema, an expanded minerals domain schema, the Microsoft GraphRAG auto-generated schema, and a schema-less GraphRAG. These are compared to a conventional baseline RAG. Performance is evaluated using a scoring approach that accounts for the mix of correct, incorrect, additional, and missing content in RAG responses. The results show that the simple five-class minerals domain schema extracts approximately 10% more entities from the MRIWA reports than the other schema options. Additionally, both the five-class and the expanded eight-class minerals domain schemas produce the most factually correct answers and the fewest hallucinations. We attribute this to the minerals-specific schemas extracting more relevant, domain-specific information during the Indexing stage. As a result, the Query stage’s context window includes more high-value content. This contributes to the observed improvement in answer quality compared to the other pipelines. In contrast, pipelines with fewer domain-related entities in the KG retrieve less valuable information, leaving more room for irrelevant content in the context window. Baseline RAG responses were typically shorter, less complete, and contained more hallucinations compared to our GraphRAG pipelines. We provide a complete set of resources at https://github.com/nlp-tlp/GraphRAG-on-Minerals-Domain/tree/main. These resources include links to the MRIWA reports, a set of questions (from simple to challenging) along with domain-expert curated answers, schemas, and evaluations of the pipelines.

Proxying Is Enough: Security of Proxying in TLS Oracles and AEAD Context Unforgeability

Authors: Zhongtang Luo, Yanxue Jia, Yaobin Shen, and Aniket Kate

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 354, 7th Conference on Advances in Financial Technologies (AFT 2025)

Abstract
TLS allows a client to securely obtain data from a server, but does not allow the client to offer the data provenance to an external node. TLS oracle protocols are used to solve the problem. Specifically, the verifier node, as an external node, is convinced that the data is indeed coming from a pre-defined TLS server, while remaining unable to access the client’s credentials (e.g., password). Previous TLS oracle protocols such as DECO (CCS 2020) enforced the communication pattern of server-client-verifier and utilized a novel three-party handshake process during TLS to ensure data integrity against potential tempering by the client. However, this approach introduces a significant performance penalty on the client and the verifier. Most recently, some works have proposed to reduce the overhead by putting the verifier (as a proxy) between the server and the client such that the correct TLS transcript is available to the verifier. Nevertheless, these works still rely on heavy two-party secure computations or zero-knowledge proofs. In this work, we push the proxy model to the extreme, where the verifier only needs to forward messages without performing any other heavy computational operations when only the credentials should be protected and the data retrieved from the server could be open to the verifier. Surprisingly, we prove that the thorough proxy model is enough to guarantee security in some common scenarios, allowing a saving of 60-90% in running time under common scenarios. We first formalize the proxy-based Oracle protocol and functionality that allows the verifier to directly proxy client-server TLS communication, without entering a three-party handshake or interfering with the connection in any way. We then show that for common TLS-based higher-level protocols such as HTTPS, data integrity to the verifier proxy is ensured by the variable padding built into the HTTP protocol semantics. On the other hand, if a TLS-based protocol comes without variable padding, we demonstrate that data integrity cannot be guaranteed. In this context, we then study the case where the TLS response is pre-determined and cannot be tampered with during the connection. We propose the concept of context unforgeability and show that data integrity can also be guaranteed as long as the underlying Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) satisfies context unforgeability. We further show that ChaCha20-Poly1305 satisfies the concept while AES-GCM does not.

Strategic Analysis of Just-In-Time Liquidity Provision in Concentrated Liquidity Market Makers

Authors: Bruno Llacer Trotti, Weizhao Tang, Rachid El-Azouzi, Giulia Fanti, and Daniel Sadoc Menasché

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 354, 7th Conference on Advances in Financial Technologies (AFT 2025)

Abstract
Liquidity providers (LPs) are essential figures in the operation of automated market makers (AMMs); in exchange for transaction fees, LPs lend the liquidity that allows AMMs to operate. While many prior works have studied the incentive structures of LPs in general, we currently lack a principled understanding of a special class of LPs known as Just-In-Time (JIT) LPs. These are strategic agents who momentarily supply liquidity for a single swap, in an attempt to extract disproportionately high fees relative to the remaining passive LPs. This paper provides the first formal, transaction-level model of JIT liquidity provision for a widespread class of AMMs known as Concentrated Liquidity Market Makers (CLMMs), as seen in Uniswap V3, for instance. We characterize the landscape of price impact and fee allocation in these systems, formulate and analyze a non-linear optimization problem faced by JIT LPs, and prove the existence of an optimal strategy. By fitting our optimal solution for JIT LPs to real-world CLMMs, we observe that in liquidity pools (particularly those with risky assets), there is a significant gap between observed and optimal JIT behavior. Existing JIT LPs often fail to account for price impact; doing so, we estimate they could increase earnings by up to 69% on average over small time windows. We also show that JIT liquidity, when deployed strategically, can improve market efficiency reducing slippage for traders, albeit at the cost of eroding passive LP profits by up to 44% per trade on average.
