Intent2Tc: Automated Intent-to-Traffic Control Translation with Language Models

Intent2Tc is a closed‑loop, language‑model‑driven framework that translates high‑level business traffic‑shaping intents into executable Linux traffic‑control (tc) configurations. It uses an AQM‑based digital twin semantic model, automated metadata extraction, critique‑driven refinement, and Retrieval‑Augmented Generation to improve semantic consistency and configuration reliability. Evaluation on 100 RFC 9315‑compliant intents shows high semantic fidelity and deployment readiness, with Claude Sonnet‑4.6 achieving 0.98 semantic similarity and 0.045 normalized edit distance, while RAG reduces token consumption and latency for compact models.

Constrained Bayesian Optimization for Hierarchical Federated Learning in IoT Networks for Plant Disease Classification

The paper introduces a constrained Bayesian Optimization framework to efficiently configure Hierarchical Federated Learning (HFL) for plant disease classification in IoT networks. It jointly optimizes the deep learning backbone, aggregation strategy, and communication rounds while respecting energy, execution time, and accuracy constraints. Experiments on an IoT-based plant disease task show the method explores only 11.11% of the search space yet finds solutions within 1% of exhaustive search, achieving a mean optimality gap of 0.056%.

One Request, Multiple Experts: LLM Orchestrates Domain Specific Models via Adaptive Task Routing

The paper introduces ADN‑Agent, an architecture that uses a large language model to orchestrate multiple domain‑specific models (DSMs) for active distribution network (ADN) management. It features adaptive intent recognition, task decomposition, and a unified communication interface for heterogeneous DSMs, along with a pipeline for fine‑tuning small language models on language‑intensive subtasks. Experiments show ADN‑Agent outperforms existing LLM application paradigms in coordinating DSMs for complex ADN operations.

Robust Federated Learning Under Real-World Client Churn

arXiv:2607. 06979v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) enables training shared models on private, on-device data, but production deployments remain constrained to slow, multi-day refresh cycles due to the complexity of coordinating massive client populations.

FLoKD: Adaptive Knowledge Distillation for Federated Low-Rank LLM over Wireless Networks

FLoKD is an adaptive knowledge‑distillation framework designed for federated fine‑tuning of low‑rank LLMs over wireless networks. It transmits intermediate LoRA activations instead of full parameters or token‑level logits, and uses transformer block importance scoring plus dataset selection to reduce communication. Experiments on WikiText‑103, PTB, and Dialog show a 50‑65% reduction in communication while maintaining competitive perplexity.
