A long-standing vision in computer science has been to evolve computing devices into proactive assistants that enhance our productivity, health and wellness, and many other facets of our lives. User digitization is crucial in achieving this…
Recently, the IoT has gained great importance, which results in the evolution of communication technologies to meet the needs of different IoT applications. In addition, several domains integrate the IoT technologies in several applications…
Prior Internet designs encompassed the fixed, mobile and lately the things Internet. In a natural evolution to these, the notion of the Tactile Internet is emerging which allows one to transmit touch and actuation in real-time. With voice…
The iPhone was introduced only a decade ago in 2007 but has fundamentally changed the way we interact with online information. Mobile devices differ radically from classic command-based and point-and-click user interfaces, now allowing for…
A recent technology known as transparent screens is transforming windows into displays. These smart windows are present in buses, airports and offices. They can remain transparent, as a normal window, or display relevant information that…
By the blessing of our existing data communication system, we can communicate or share our information with each other in every nook and corner of the world within some few seconds but there are some limitations in our traditional data…
With the ongoing trends in the energy sector such as vehicular electrification and renewable energy, smart grid is clearly playing a more and more important role in the electric power system industry. One essential feature of the smart grid…
One major feature of social networks (e.g., massive online social networks) is the dissemination of information, such as news, rumors and opinions. Information can be propagated via natural connections in written, oral or electronic forms.…
Interactive communication (IC), i.e., the reciprocal exchange of information between two or more interactive partners, is a fundamental part of human nature. As such, it has been studied across multiple scientific disciplines with different…
We experience a major paradigm change in mobile networks. The infrastructure of cellular networks becomes mobile as it is densified by using mobile and nomadic small cells to increase coverage and capacity. Furthermore, the innovative…
Quantum communication systems support unique applications in the form of distributed quantum computing, distributed quantum sensing, and several cryptographic protocols. The main enabler in these communication systems is an efficient…
Water covers 71% of the Earth's surface, where the steady increase in oceanic activities has promoted the need for reliable maritime communication technologies. The existing maritime communication systems involve terrestrial, aerial, and…
In 2030, we are going to evidence the 6G mobile communication technology, which will enable the Internet of Everything. Yet 5G has to be experienced by people worldwide and B5G has to be developed; the researchers have already started…
For decades, the use of HPC systems was limited to those in the physical sciences who had mastered their domain in conjunction with a deep understanding of HPC architectures and algorithms. During these same decades, consumer computing…
The nature of computation and its role in our lives have been transformed in the past two decades by three remarkable developments: the emergence of public cloud utilities as a new computing platform; the ability to extract information from…
Human-computer interaction relies on mouse/touchpad, keyboard, and screen, but tools have recently been developed that engage sound, smell, touch, muscular resistance, voice dialogue, balance, and multiple senses at once. How might these…
In recent years, everyday activities such as work and socialization have steadily shifted to more remote and virtual settings. With the COVID-19 pandemic, the switch from physical to virtual has been accelerated, which has substantially…
In this work, we propose a new communication system for illuminated areas, indoors and outdoors. Light sources in our environments -such as light bulbs or even the sun- are our signal emitters, but we do not modulate data at the light…
Layering information spaces is a promising strategy to design intuitive and engaging interactive experiences. Although multi-layer displays enable promising interaction techniques through limited depth perception - achieved via slight…
A key functionality of emerging connected autonomous systems such as smart cities, smart transportation systems, and the industrial Internet-of-Things, is the ability to process and learn from data collected at different physical locations.…
