Special Issue Call for Papers
Artificial Intelligence and Patterns(AsianPLoP 2025)
Theme
The primary source of submissions for this special issue will be the refined versions of selected papers originally presented at the 11th Asian Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs, People & Practices (AsianPLoP 2025). AsianPLoP, the Asian edition of PLoP, is a premier event for pattern enthusiasts to gather, discuss, and learn. Focused initially on software-related patterns and pattern languages, PLoP has expanded into all aspects of the built world anything designed and made by people, including organizations, culture, and individual practice. The recent, wide-ranging developments led the Hillside Group to rename PLoP to Pattern Languages of Programs, People & Practices starting in 2024.
Now, we are at another juncture where patterns and pattern languages can help make a difference. Artificial intelligence (AI) has developed rapidly recently, especially with large language models (LLMs) permeating various fields. An important research direction will be to utilize pattern languages to describe the design of AI and LLM-based applications across different domains. Therefore, the central theme of AsianPLoP 2025 will focus on AI Patterns and related issues. We hope to bring together researchers from Asia and other regions of the world come together to explore this new direction. Of course, submissions on the more traditional patterns and pattern languages are welcome, too. This special issue also welcomes submissions from authors beyond those participating in the conference.

IoT in Enhancing Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Operations for Marine Research
Aim and Scope
Autonomous underwater vehicles may travel underwater without the need for human assistance. With their sophisticated sensors, cameras, and mapping systems, they give academics a plethora of data regarding the ocean environment. Unmanned underwater vehicles are extensively employed in underwater scientific, commercial, and military purposes are certain uses necessitate precise positioning and control of the course. The main focus of research and development for these vehicles is still on modelling, system identification, and control. AUV hulls are often constructed from composite materials or metal alloys like titanium and aluminium alloy. The advantages of composite materials, such as their light weight, resistance to corrosion, and design freedom, are well known. Underwater vehicles that can function underwater without a human occupant are identified as unmanned underwater vehicles, sometimes referred to as underwater drones and uncrewed underwater vehicles. These vehicles can be separated into two groups are autonomous underwater vehicles and remotely operated underwater vehicles.
AUVs can be deployed in difficult littoral waters for surveying, classifying, and mapping purposes, with the goal of obtaining useful data. By using the sonar images they collect, operators can reduce danger and save time by making more informed decisions. The development of autonomous vehicle technology, which attempts to lessen traffic, energy use, pollution, and collisions while also improving accessibility for transportation, is now a possibility thanks to these technologies. Increased safety is the first advantage that an autonomous future would bring. If autonomous vehicles were to become widely deployed, it is likely that the number of crashes resulting from careless and unexpected driving would drastically decline. This reduces the risk that drivers of vehicles face when travelling to various locations. AUVs are very beneficial for carrying out challenging activities in the water. An AUV primary benefit is that it can operate without a human operator. As a result, it costs less than a vehicle driven by a human and can perform tasks that would be too risky for a human to perform. Propellers or accelerators are powered by onboard electrical sources in fully autonomous operations, which allow the vehicle to move through the water.
The weight of an AUV can vary greatly, weighing anything from a few hundred to several thousand kilograms. They could glide from the ocean surface to its depths and return, or they could come to a standstill, hover, and then take off into the air like blimps or aircraft. Power is carried onboard by fully autonomous operations. Devices can wirelessly link to a cloud system thanks to the Internet of Things. For example, the vehicle is connected to an Internet of Things based technological system that transmits data on the road the vehicle is travelling on as well as the vehicle itself while it is in motion. The development of autonomous vehicle technology, which attempts to lessen traffic, energy use, pollution, and collisions while also improving accessibility for transportation, is now a possibility thanks to these technologies. It may be possible for autonomous cars to lower the amount of accidents brought on by human mistake. Contributions are invited from a range of disciplines and perspectives, including, but not restricted to: Role of IoT in Enhancing Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Operations for Marine Research.
Topics
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Self driving surface vehicles as satellites for locating and communications in the maritime environment Move in the direction of the underwater Internet.

Pattern Recognition in Real-Time Video Surveillance Systems Using Soft Computing
Aim and Scope
Real-time video surveillance systems have created pattern recognition, a crucial feature in today's security infrastructure. These systems can quickly collect and analyse video data to identify and anticipate unusual behaviour or possible safety threats using soft computing approaches. The increasing interest in enhanced security in both public and private areas has led to a significant demand for advanced video surveillance systems. Traditional methods often fail in two domains such as large data sets and changing situations. Soft computing approaches are perfect for real-time surveillance applications because they are flexible, robust, and have the capacity to learn from data. Integrating pattern recognition in video surveillance for enhancing video quality and filtering noise through preprocessing, capturing video footage with cameras, finding relevant features from the video frames, and utilizing algorithms to detect patterns and anomalies.
Advanced technologies are used by video surveillance systems to effectively recognize things and identify patterns. They use support vector machines to classify objects, genetic algorithms to improve detection accuracy, and fuzzy logic to handle uncertainty in video data. For optimal performance, several systems combine these techniques. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs), is a type of deep learning model, utilized for tasks including object detection in motion pictures and facial recognition. Edge computing reduces latency and internet consumption by processing data closer to its source. YOLO and Faster R-CNN are two examples of innovative neural network designs that have improved object detection capabilities significantly. The combination of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and video surveillance has improved monitoring capabilities, increasing the effectiveness and responsiveness of surveillance.
Future developments in AI and machine learning, such as more efficient real-time analytics algorithms, increased accuracy with less false positives, and the development of fully autonomous surveillance systems that make decisions without the need for human intervention, may be facilitated by pattern recognition in video surveillance. Despite its potential, it has several challenges include ensuring data privacy, handling massive amounts of data and large-scale deployments, and adapting to various conditions. To overcome these challenges, advanced encryption is required to protect data, creating scalable and flexible modular systems, and incorporating adaptive algorithms to learn continuously and evolve with new data. However, the field of security is being revolutionized by pattern recognition in real-time video surveillance systems using soft computing. We accept submissions from a variety of fields and viewpoints, such as but not limited to: Pattern Recognition in Real-Time Video Surveillance Systems Using Soft Computing.

Information Centric Wireless Communication (ICWC) with Edge Fog Computing for 5G and beyond IoT Applications
Aim and Scope
With the growing number of connected devices and the increasing volume of data generated by IoT applications, traditional network architectures are unable to handle the data traffic efficiently. Edge fog computing provides a distributed computing infrastructure at the edge of the network, enabling data to be processed and analyzed closer to the source, reducing latency and improving network performance. Additionally, ICWC allows for content-centric communication, enabling more efficient data distribution and reducing network congestion, making it a critical technology for enabling the success of 5G and beyond IoT applications. The combination of ICWC and edge fog computing is particularly suited for IoT applications, where data is generated and consumed at the edge of the network. For example, in smart homes, sensors generate data that needs to be processed and analyzed in real-time to enable automation and control. With ICWC and edge fog computing, the processing and analysis can be done at the edge of the network, reducing the need for data to be transmitted to a centralized server, which can be slow and unreliable.
On the other hand, ICWC and edge fog computing also offer several benefits for 5G applications, such as ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) and massive machine-type communication (mMTC). In URLLC applications, such as remote surgery and autonomous vehicles, low latency is critical for ensuring real-time communication and decision-making. With edge fog computing, data can be processed and analyzed closer to the source, reducing latency and improving network performance. Similarly, in mMTC applications, such as smart cities and industrial automation, ICWC can enable efficient data distribution and reduce network congestion. One of the challenges of implementing ICWC with edge fog computing is the need for a new network architecture that supports content-centric communication. This requires new protocols and standards for data naming, caching, and distribution, as well as a distributed computing infrastructure at the edge of the network. Additionally, privacy and security concerns must be addressed to ensure that data is protected and only accessed by authorized parties.
This special issue on Information Centric Wireless Communication with Edge Fog Computing for 5G and beyond IoT applications aims to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to share their latest findings, innovations, and challenges related to the development, deployment, and evaluation of Information Centric Wireless Communication with Edge Fog Computing for 5G and beyond IoT applications. The special issue welcomes contributions that focus on novel protocols, architectures, algorithms, and use cases related to ICWC and edge fog computing, and encourages interdisciplinary research that addresses the technical, social, economic, and environmental aspects of the technology. The goal is to advance the state-of-the-art in ICWC and edge fog computing, and to facilitate the integration of these technologies into practical applications and systems that can benefit society and the industry.

Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Development of new protocols for content-centric communication in wireless networks
- Design of edge fog computing architectures for real-time data processing in IoT applications
- Evaluation of the performance of edge fog computing architectures in terms of latency, bandwidth, and energy consumption

Special Issue on Automated Data Acquisition and Analysis of Satellite Imagery
Theme
With the advent of new technology and satellites that can provide high-quality, daily updated imagery, we are moving into a new era in automated data acquisition and analysis of satellite imagery. Satellite imagery has become an important tool for managing environmental and climate change risks, but it is costly and time-consuming to collect. New Era is a disruptive technology that automates satellite imagery collection, processing, and analysis. This enables businesses to reduce costs and gain intelligence more quickly. The possibility to capture and process large amounts of data from Earth observation satellites, even though it is difficult to store and archive, has opened up new opportunities to create a range of applications that use remote sensing data and products. In recent years, several attempts have been made to develop automated methods for satellite image acquisition and analysis. Data acquisition is performed employing an automated system that can be deployed in any location where there is direct access to a satellite antenna. The system receives information on the latitude, longitude and elevation of the single locations where it is deployed so that the position of each source pixel may be determined automatically using photogrammetric methods. Automatic image analysis systems allow users to extract information from satellite images. Still, they are difficult to program because they require complex algorithms along with multiple parameters related to the physical characteristics of the area being analyzed.
Current systems are inadequate to acquire, analyze and disseminate local Earth observations. These systems demand high levels of availability and security, which drives up the costs of space operation. Satellite images may provide information on crop conditions, soil moisture, and other parameters which can be used to predict drought. The current research methods need to be standardized for reproducible results, especially automated methods of data acquisition and analysis. Therefore new research is needed to improve automated data acquisition and analysis of satellite imagery so that we can access information faster and cheaper. There is a need for systematic and standardized methods of automated data acquisition and analysis of satellite imagery. More research is needed on assessing the quality of remotely sensed data, improving methods of extracting information from remote sensing datasets, better understanding object detection algorithms, and improving evaluation methods to develop a more accurate assessment for crop yield and quality estimations.
The advent of modern satellites, coupled with machine learning algorithms, has spawned a new era in remote sensing. This special issue aims to explore this new era in satellite image analysis and demonstrate its impact on our understanding of Earth processes such as land use/land cover change, social-ecological systems, and water quality monitoring. We welcome research papers on any aspect related to this theme that can further our understanding of how remote sensing data can complement traditional fieldwork methodologies.
Scope
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Satellite image analysis with machine learning algorithms
