Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: Learning the Observation Function
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide an explicit statement or link to its own open-source code. It links to a third-party tool (Cluster 3.0 software) used in the experiments, but not the authors' own implementation.
Open Datasets No The paper describes a simulation setup where data is generated internally: "We evaluate our POMDP model using the Veins simulator..., which combines OMNe T++ for vehicle-to-vehicle communication simulation, and SUMO for road traffic microsimulation." It does not mention using a publicly available dataset with concrete access information (link, DOI, or specific citation to a benchmark).
Dataset Splits No The paper describes simulation periods and data collection intervals but does not specify explicit train/validation/test dataset splits (e.g., percentages or sample counts) needed for reproduction in a traditional machine learning sense. The learning of the observation function occurs dynamically over time in the simulation, rather than on fixed splits.
Hardware Specification No The paper mentions using simulators (Veins, OMNeT++, SUMO) but does not provide any specific hardware details (e.g., CPU, GPU models, memory, or cloud instance types) on which these simulations were run.
Software Dependencies Yes K-means clustering is performed by Cluster 3.0 software5. 5http://bonsai.hgc.jp/~mdehoon/software/cluster/software.htm
Experiment Setup Yes The values for rewards used in our experiments are: R(r = yes, RE) = R(r = yes, IG) = 30, R(r = no, IG) = R(r = no, RE) = 20 and R(r, Q) = 1. The ground truth update delay from centralized map service is set to 60s. The freshness is fresh if the trustworthiness is updated within 30 seconds (s) and old otherwise. The time window W is set to 60s.
