In scenarios where devices are too small to support MIMO antenna arrays, symbol-level cooperation may be used to pool the resources of distributed single-antenna devices to create a virtual MIMO antenna array. We address design fundamentals…
On the Internet large service providers tend to control the digital identities of users. These defacto identity authorities wield significant power over users, compelling them to comply with non-negotiable terms, before access to services…
Science is increasingly dominated by teams. Understanding patterns of scientific collaboration and their impacts on the productivity and evolution of disciplines is crucial to understand scientific processes. Electronic bibliography offers…
Proliferation of systems that generate enormous amounts of data and operate in real time has led researchers to rethink the current organization of the cloud. Many proposed solutions consist of a number of small data centers in the vicinity…
Complex networks are frequently employed to model physical or virtual complex systems. When certain entities exist across multiple systems simultaneously, unveiling their corresponding relationships across the networks becomes crucial. This…
With the advances in sensors and computer networks an increased number of Mixed Reality (MR) applications require large amounts of information from the real world. Such information is collected through sensors (e.g. position and orientation…
Sharing of telecommunication network data, for example, even at high aggregation levels, is nowadays highly restricted due to privacy legislation and regulations and other important ethical concerns. It leads to scattering data across…
The Internet and the Web are being increasingly used in proactive social care to provide people, especially the vulnerable, with a better life and services, and their derived social services generate enormous data. However, the strict…
The expansion of AI toward the edge increasingly exposes the cost and fragility of cen- tralised intelligence. Data transmission, latency, energy consumption, and dependence on large data centres create bottlenecks that scale poorly across…
Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe the EU programs supporting research and innovation through collaboration between companies, academic institutions, and research organisations. This paper introduces a novel methodology using open data on…
We inhabit a world that is not only small but supports efficient decentralized search - an individual using local information can establish a line of communication with another completely unknown individual. Here we augment a hierarchical…
Intelligent Agents act in open and thus risky environments, hence making the appropriate decision about who to trust in order to interact with, could be a challenging process. As intelligent agents are gradually enriched with Semantic Web…
A scalable framework is developed to allocate radio resources across a large number of densely deployed small cells with given traffic statistics on a slow timescale. Joint user association and spectrum allocation is first formulated as a…
This study introduces a novel methodology for mapping scientific communities at scale, addressing challenges associated with network analysis in large bibliometric datasets. By leveraging enriched publication metadata from the French…
This paper investigates International Research Collaboration (IRC) among European Union (EU) countries from 2011 to 2022, with emphasis on gender-based authorship patterns. Drawing from the Web of Science Social Science Citation Index…
The reproduction and replication of reported scientific results is a hot topic within the academic community. The retraction of numerous studies from a wide range of disciplines, from climate science to bioscience, has drawn the focus of…
The rapid growth of wearable sensor technologies holds substantial promise for the field of personalized and context-aware Human Activity Recognition. Given the inherently decentralized nature of data sources within this domain, the…
User association, the problem of assigning each user device to a suitable base station, is increasingly crucial as wireless networks become denser and serve more users with diverse service demands. The joint optimization of user association…
Resource allocation and scheduling in multi-agent systems present challenges due to complex interactions and decentralization. This survey paper provides a comprehensive analysis of distributed algorithms for addressing the distributed…
Demands on the disaster response capacity of the European Union are likely to increase, as the impacts of disasters continue to grow both in size and frequency. This has resulted in intensive research on issues concerning spatially-explicit…
