Selective laser melting (SLM) equipment operates as a complex cyber–physical system, wherein strong implicit coupling among internal subsystems presents significant challenges for condition monitoring and fault diagnosis. Existing deep learning methods often suffer from feature submersion when processing multi-source heterogeneous data and lack the capability for system-level topological causal inference. To address these issues, we propose a multisystem coupling modeling and anomaly traceability method based on a decoupled graph attention network (ST-DBGAE). Independent local spatiotemporal feature alignment modules are constructed to map heterogeneous sensory data into a unified latent space. This eliminates dimensional discrepancies while strictly maintaining the feature independence of underlying hardware subsystems, such as optical and gas circuits. A dynamic graph attention mechanism with sparse priors is subsequently introduced to adaptively capture time-varying coupling weights triggered by implicit interactions (e.g., thermal fluids), bypassing the need for predefined rigid physical connections. Furthermore, a dual-branch two-stage decoupled optimization architecture is designed. By blocking the cross-interference of global backpropagation, this architecture outputs a continuous equipment health index (HI) based on reconstruction errors and employs a topological difference matrix inference mechanism to reversely anchor the root-cause nodes responsible for cross-system cascading degradation. Experimental results based on over 310,000 real operational monitoring records from industrial SLM equipment demonstrate that the proposed model achieves a comprehensive diagnostic Macro-F1 score of 96.5% across eight operating states. The single-class detection rates (ACCs) of specific underlying anomalies are significantly improved. This method not only enables high-precision equipment health warnings but also provides a physically interpretable microscopic fault propagation mapping for predictive maintenance. Full article

Coal-mine-gas-monitoring data exhibits missing phenomena due to the harsh underground operating environment. Accurate imputation of missing values in gas-monitoring sequences serves as a key data foundation for guaranteeing the continuity of gas data, enhancing the reliability of disaster early warning, and improving the accuracy of mine safety situation analysis and judgment. Aiming at the prevalent random and segmented missing issues in coal-mine-gas-monitoring time-series data, and the limitation that existing imputation methods struggle to accurately capture the nonlinear spatiotemporal correlations and long-range temporal dependencies of such data, this study proposes a missing data imputation method for coal mine gas time-series data based on the Spatio-Temporal Graph Attention Network—Echo State Network (ST-GAT-ESN). Firstly, this method extracts temporal features of the gas concentration sequence using a Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU). Subsequently, it models multiple monitoring points as graph nodes through a Graph Attention Network (GAT), constructs an adjacency matrix based on airflow propagation relationships, and adaptively learns the spatial dependency weights between monitoring points to realize the deep fusion of spatiotemporal features. Finally, it designs a dual-channel Echo State Network (ESN), synchronously inputs the spatiotemporal fusion features of the missing regions before and after, efficiently fits the nonlinear evolutionary trend of the data by virtue of the echo state property of the reservoir, and solves the output layer weights through ridge regression to achieve accurate imputation of missing values. Experimental results demonstrate that, compared with the single-ST-GAT-ESN, ESN, and ARIMA models, the proposed method achieves the optimal imputation performance in both random and segmented missing scenarios within the missing rate range of 5–50%. The three evaluation metrics—Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE)—are reduced by 30–80% compared with the benchmark models. Moreover, the imputation curve achieves the best fitting performance with the ground-truth curve at a 50% segmented missing rate. This study confirms that the ST-GAT-ESN model effectively enhances the adaptability and robustness to complex missing patterns via spatiotemporal collaborative modeling and a dual-channel fusion mechanism, providing a high-precision and highly stable technical solution for ensuring the integrity of coal-mine-gas-monitoring data, and also provides theoretical references and engineering insights for the missing-value processing of industrial time-series monitoring data.

Travel time prediction (TTP) is a fundamental pillar of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). However, deploying highly parameterized deep learning models in data-scarce environments—referred to as the “cold-start” problem—remains a critical bottleneck, frequently leading to overfitting and severe error accumulation on ultra-long trajectories. To surmount these limitations, this study proposes the Dual-Attentional Gated Residual Network (DAGRN), a data-efficient forecasting framework driven by a novel topology-temporal coordination mechanism. Specifically, the framework introduces three integrated innovations: (1) transforming the primal network into a physics-aware Line Graph to explicitly filter out illegal movements and dynamically modulating topological propagation via Feature-wise Linear Modulation (FiLM); (2) coupling a Bidirectional GRU backbone with a Multi-Head Attention module to simultaneously capture global trends and localized intersection delays; (3) employing a Gated Residual Fusion mechanism that preserves dimensional consistency and facilitates gradient flow in extensive sequences. To rigorously validate the model’s robustness, we conduct evaluations on a highly constrained, stratified dataset comprising merely 2000 trajectories. Experimental results demonstrate that DAGRN achieves state-of-the-art predictive precision with an RMSE of 415.485 s and an R² of 0.848, significantly outperforming 12 advanced baseline models and reducing error by up to 13.8% against the strongest graph baseline. Comprehensive ablation studies confirm the absolute necessity of the Multi-Head Attention module, whose removal causes the most severe performance degradation (RMSE surging to 521.495 s). Ultimately, DAGRN presents a readily deployable solution for sparse-data ITS regimes, actively paving the way for future hybrid integrations with microscopic traffic simulations and evolutionary road network optimization algorithms.

In cloud-based distributed systems, trace anomaly detection plays a vital role in maintaining system reliability by identifying early signs of performance degradation or faults. However, existing methods often fail to capture the complex temporal and structural dependencies inherent in trace data. To address this, we propose a novel dual-branch Transformer-based framework that integrates both temporal modeling and causal reasoning. The first branch encodes the original trace data to capture direct service-level dynamics, while the second employs phase-space reconstruction to reveal nonlinear temporal interactions by embedding time-delayed representations. To better capture how anomalies propagate across services, we introduce a causal propagation module that leverages directed service call graphs to enforce the time order and directionality during feature aggregation, ensuring anomaly signals propagate along realistic causal paths. Additionally, we propose a hybrid loss function combining the reconstruction error with symmetric Kullback–Leibler divergence between attention maps from the two branches, enabling the model to distinguish normal and anomalous patterns more effectively. Extensive experiments conducted on multiple real-world trace datasets demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in terms of precision, recall, and F1 score. The proposed framework proves robust across diverse scenarios, offering improved detection accuracy, and robustness to noisy or complex service dependencies. Full article

This paper conducts a focused probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) on the reliability of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) drones deployed for surveillance in areas with diverse radiation levels following a nuclear accident. The study employs the event tree/fault tree digraph approach, integrated with the dual-graph error propagation method (DEPM), to model sequences that could lead to loss of mission (LOM) scenarios due to combined hardware–software failures in the drone’s navigation system. The impact of radiation is simulated by a comparison of the total ionizing dose (TID) with the acceptable limit for each component. Errors are then propagated within the electronic hardware and software blocks to determine the navigation system’s reliability in different radiation zones. If the system is deemed unreliable, a strategy is suggested to identify the minimum radiation-hardening requirement for its subcomponents by reverse-engineering from the desired mission success criteria. The findings of this study can aid in the integration of COTS components into radiation-hardened (RAD-HARD) designs, optimizing the balance between cost, performance, and reliability in drone systems for nuclear-contaminated search and rescue missions.
