Empowering Water Engineers to Develop XR Learning Applications with the WATERLINE Project by Gareth Lewis, Matt B. Johns, Lydia S. Vamvakeridou-Lyroudia, Albert S. Chen, Slobodan Djordjević, Dragan A. Savić

“…The over-arching goal of the WATERLINE project is the creation of a European Digital Water Higher Education Institution (HEI) Alliance, with a core part of this goal being the development and delivery of meaningful water engineering education through extended reality technology, allowing students to engage with virtualised water engineering models, such as flume tanks and water distribution networks in a manner that will promote engaged deep learning. To realise this goal, researchers need to engage with pedagogic, creative, and technical considerations to ensure that water engineering students are presented with engaging applications that provide the “right” knowledge and provide experiences where deep and memorable learning can take place.…”

Heterogeneous Wireless Network Resource Management Algorithm Based on Reinforcement Learning by Chenwei Feng, Jiangnan Yuan

“…In order to make full use of the resources of all kinds of wireless network，the integration of heterogeneous network is necessary.However，when it comes to the heterogeneous network integration，the problems of call request access control and resource management emerge.A reinforcement-learning-based algorithm was presented for heterogeneous wireless network resource management.D2D （device-to-device）communication was introduced into the proposed algorithm and the appropriate network for access could be selected according to different traffic types，terminal mobility，network load status and so on.Meanwhile，to reduce the storage requirement，the neural network technology was used to solve the problem of continuous state space.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has an efficient learning ability to achieve autonomous radio resource management，which effectively improves the spectrum utility and reduces the blocking probability.…”
