Now,we describe the latencymeasurement pipeline for desktop GPUs, Jetson, serverCPUs, and mobile phone. Furthermore, evenwith the same GPU device, the correlation scores are not high ifthebatch sizes are different. Figure A.1: Visualization of 10 reference neural architectures we used for NAS-Bench-201 search space. Werandomlyselected10reference architectures for each search space (NAS-Bench-201, FBNet, and MobileNetV3) and used them across all experiments and devices of the same search space. In Figure A.1, we visualize 10 reference architectures that we used in NAS-Bench-201 search space.

Previous NAS algorithms designed for image search spaces incorporate resource constraints directly into the reinforcement learning (RL) rewards.

The emergence of foundation models (FMs) has enabled the development of highly capable and autonomous agents, unlocking new application opportunities across a wide range of domains. Evaluating the architecture of agents is particularly important as the architectural decisions significantly impact the quality attributes of agents given their unique characteristics, including compound architecture, autonomous and non-deterministic behaviour, and continuous evolution. However, these traditional methods fall short in addressing the evaluation needs of agent architecture due to the unique characteristics of these agents. Therefore, in this paper, we present AgentArcEval, a novel agent architecture evaluation method designed specially to address the complexities of FM-based agent architecture and its evaluation. Moreover, we present a catalogue of agent-specific general scenarios, which serves as a guide for generating concrete scenarios to design and evaluate the agent architecture. We demonstrate the usefulness of AgentArcEval and the catalogue through a case study on the architecture evaluation of a real-world tax copilot, named Luna.

-- There is an exponential growth of connected Internet of Things (IoT) devices. These have given rise to applications that rely on real time data to make critical decisions quickly. Enterprises today are adopting cloud at a rapid pace. There is a critical need to develop secure and efficient strategy and architectures to best leverage capabilities of cloud and edge assets. This paper provides an end to end secure edge to cloud data and analytics strategy. To enable real life implementation, the paper provides reference architectures for device layer, edge layer and cloud layer. The industries across verticals are making a tectonic shift towards cloud migration.

Abstract--The evolution toward Level 4 (L4) Autonomous Networks (AN) represents a strategic inflection point in telecommunications, where networks must transcend reactive automation to achieve genuine cognitive capabilities--fulfilling AN's vision of self-configuring, self-healing, and self-optimizing systems that deliver zero-wait, zero-touch, and zero-fault services. This work bridges the gap between architectural theory and operational reality by implementing Joseph Sifakis's AN Agent reference architecture in a functional cognitive system, deploying coordinated proactive-reactive runtimes driven by hybrid knowledge representation. Specifically, the system demonstrates sub-10 ms real-time control in 5G NR sub-6 GHz environments. Empirical results show a 4% increase in downlink throughput over Outer Loop Link Adaptation (OLLA) algorithms for enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB). Furthermore, for the ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) scenario, the agent achieves an 85% reduction in Block Error Rate (BLER). These improvements confirm the architecture's viability in overcoming traditional autonomy barriers and advancing critical L4-enabling capabilities toward next-generation objectives. UTONOMOUS Networks (AN), a purpose-specific telecommunications technology pioneered by the TM Forum (TMF) in 2019, target networks with intrinsic self-configuration, self-healing, and self-optimization capabilities--collectively termed the Three-Self Capabilities [1]. These fundamental properties enable the realization of zero-wait, zero-touch, and zero-fault network services, known as the Three-Zero Objectives, which collectively deliver optimal user experiences while maximizing resource utilization throughout the entire network lifecycle. By strategically integrating emerging general-purpose technologies including artificial intelligence (AI), digital twins, and big data analytics, AN not only transforms conventional network operations but fundamentally reorients value creation paradigms from traditional device-centric and management-centric models toward customer-oriented, service-driven, and business-focused frameworks.

Insufficient data volume and quality are particularly pressing challenges in the adoption of modern subsymbolic AI. To alleviate these challenges, AI simulation uses virtual training environments in which AI agents can be safely and efficiently developed with simulated, synthetic data. Digital twins open new avenues in AI simulation, as these high-fidelity virtual replicas of physical systems are equipped with state-of-the-art simulators and the ability to further interact with the physical system for additional data collection. In this article, we report on our systematic survey of digital twin-enabled AI simulation. By analyzing 22 primary studies, we identify technological trends and derive a reference framework to situate digital twins and AI components. Based on our findings, we derive a reference framework and provide architectural guidelines by mapping it onto the ISO 23247 reference architecture for digital twins. Finally, we identify challenges and research opportunities for prospective researchers.
