Denial of Deadline: Network-Driven Accuracy Collapse in Distributed Inference Pipelines

arXiv:2607. 24692v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Inference systems increasingly combine a fast path that returns predictions within the application's latency deadline together with a higher-accuracy slow path that runs higher-compute methods on stronger, remote hardware, so its results can be returned on time and combined with the fast path predictions.

TALSC: Timeliness-Aware Large-Small VLM Collaboration for Infrastructure-Assisted Autonomous Driving

The deployment of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) in autonomous driving (AD) systems is constrained by on-board computing power, restricting vehicles to small VLMs (SVLMs) with limited perception and reasoning capabilities. Infrastructure-assisted AD alleviates this resource constraint by enabling collaboration with large VLMs (LVLMs) at edge servers.

CADET: A Modular Platform for Evaluating Distributed Cooperative Autonomy in Connected Autonomous Vehicles

arXiv:2606. 04072v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep learning models are increasingly central to autonomous vehicle (AV) pipelines, yet their integration has traditionally followed a monolithic design where perception, planning, and control execute on a single onboard computer.

A Survey of Adversarial Efficiency Degradation for Vision Transformer by Exploiting Input-adaptive Optimization

Vision Transformers (ViTs) increasingly rely on input-adaptive inference, such as token pruning and early halting, to meet energy and latency budgets. This survey examines a recent class of adversarial efficiency degradation attacks that target these mechanisms to increase computation without necessarily degrading accuracy.

AI-Native Closed-Loop Security for 6G-Enabled Cyber-Physical Systems: From Edge Detection to Network-Wide Mitigation

arXiv:2606. 08173v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In sixth-generation (6G) networks, billions of cyber-physical systems (CPSs) - autonomous vehicles, smart grids, industrial robots, and remote-surgical equipment - will run over ultra-reliable low-latency slices, collapsing the gap between a remote breach and physical harm to milliseconds, a budget perimeter firewalls and centralised security operations centres cannot meet.

Achieving Near-Zero-Overhead Multi-Model Hierarchical Classification in Real-Time Detection Pipelines

arXiv:2608. 11770v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Edge-deployed vision systems in target recognition, surveillance, autonomous vehicles, and drone domains require hierarchical inference pipelines where a detection model identifies objects of interest and downstream classifiers provide fine-grained attribute analysis.
