The paper presents an Edge-AI-driven decentralized task‑allocation framework for circular smart manufacturing. It combines a resource‑aware heuristic, a regression‑based Edge‑AI bid approximation, and a compact autoencoder‑regularized pairwise ranking model to evaluate tasks at the machine level. Simulation results show that the ranking method improves task completion, reduces tardiness and deadline misses, and lowers energy per completed task compared to the heuristic baseline.

The paper introduces a novel end‑to‑end, size‑agnostic graph reinforcement learning framework for the one‑dimensional bin packing problem (1D‑BPP). It models packing as a Markov decision process on an item‑compatibility graph, where a graph neural network actor‑critic policy learns to merge compatible partial bins. Empirical results on the BPPLIB benchmark show that the learned policy reduces the mean optimality gap of a constructive heuristic from 2.66 % to 2.31 %, performs competitively against other learned methods, and outperforms a state‑of‑the‑art learned solver on the hardest benchmark family.
arXiv:2607. 18288v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Load imbalance across edge and cloud layers degrades latency performance in hierarchical edge-cloud computing (HECC) systems under dynamic task arrivals and heterogeneous resources, leading to severe queuing delays and inefficient resource utilization.
The paper introduces Hierarchical Reinforcement and Collective Learning (HRCL), a framework that combines multi‑agent reinforcement learning (MARL) with decentralized coordination. HRCL uses MARL at a high level to generate strategic guidance that limits the decision space for low‑level agents, enabling efficient short‑term coordination while considering long‑term effects. Experiments on synthetic, energy‑management, and drone‑swarm scenarios demonstrate faster convergence and significant reductions in system‑wide and individual costs compared to standalone MARL.
