Transactive Energy Systems (TES) are modern mechanisms in electric power systems that allow disparate control agents to utilize distributed generation units (DGs) to engage in energy transactions and provide ancillary services to the grid.…
We evaluate the tendency for different voting methods to promote political compromise and reduce tensions in a society by using computer simulations to determine which voters candidates are incentivized to appeal to. We find that Instant…
This work aspires to provide a trustworthy solution for target localization in adverse environments, where malicious nodes, capable of manipulating distance measurements (i.e., performing spoofing attacks), are present, thus hindering…
Recently, as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, dependence on Contact Tracing (CT) models has significantly increased to prevent spread of this highly contagious virus and be prepared for the potential future ones. Since the spreading…
Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) use smart contracts to foster communities working toward common goals. Existing definitions of decentralization, however-the 'D' in DAO-fall short of capturing key properties characteristic of…
Existing toxic detection models face significant limitations, such as lack of transparency, customization, and reproducibility. These challenges stem from the closed-source nature of their training data and the paucity of explanations for…
In Internet of Vehicles (IoV), data sharing among vehicles is essential to improve driving safety and enhance vehicular services. To ensure data sharing security and traceability, highefficiency Delegated Proof-of-Stake consensus scheme as…
The data-driven computing paradigm initially introduced by Kirchdoerfer & Ortiz (2016) is extended by incorporating locally linear tangent spaces into the data set. These tangent spaces are constructed by means of the tensor voting method…
Bitcoin, as a decentralized digital currency, has caused extensive research interest. There are many studies based on related protocols on Bitcoin, Bitcoin-based voting protocols also received attention in related literature. In this paper,…
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) networks must meet strict reliability, latency, and low energy consumption requirements. However, traditional low-power wireless protocols are ineffective in finding a sweet spot for balancing these…
The review and analysis of large collections of documents and the periodic monitoring of new additions thereto has greatly benefited from new developments in computer software. This paper demonstrates how using random vectors to construct a…
\textbf{BEAVR} is an open-source, bimanual, multi-embodiment Virtual Reality (VR) teleoperation system for robots, designed to unify real-time control, data recording, and policy learning across heterogeneous robotic platforms. BEAVR…
Mature push button tools have emerged for checking trace properties (e.g. secrecy or authentication) of security protocols. The case of indistinguishability-based privacy properties (e.g. ballot privacy or anonymity) is more complex and…
Mobile crowdsensing takes advantage of pervasive mobile devices to collect and process data for a variety of applications (e.g., traffic monitoring, spectrum sensing). In this study, a socially-aware crowdsensing system is advocated, in…
This article analyses three methods of remote voting in an uncontrolled environment: postal voting, internet voting and hybrid voting. It breaks down the voting process into different stages and compares their vulnerabilities considering…
The Metaverse is a virtual world, an immersive experience, a new human-computer interaction, built upon various advanced technologies. How to protect Metaverse personal information and virtual properties is also facing new challenges, such…
Distributed Real-Time (DRT) systems are among the most complex software systems to design, test, maintain and evolve. The existence of components distributed over a network often conflicts with real-time requirements, leading to design…
A simultaneously transmitting and reflecting surface (STARS) enabled edge caching system is proposed for reducing backhaul traffic and ensuring the quality of service. A novel Caching-at-STARS structure, where a dedicated smart controller…
A decentralised organisation (DO) is a multi-stakeholder institution where decision making is assigned to various levels of the organisation. Decentralised stakeholders play an important role in the governance of a decentralised…
Voting is the primary mechanism through which Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (DAO) reach decisions. Although transparent, the voting process can be complex: it can involve many interacting smart contracts. The nexus of the…
