Reliable and scalable wireless transmissions for Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) are technically challenging. Each vehicle, from driver-assisted to automated one, will generate a flood of information, up to thousands of times of that by a person. Vehicle density may change drastically over time and location. Emergency messages and real-time cooperative control messages have stringent delay constraints, while […]
Major breakthroughs in the field of biophotonics, genomics, and stem cell biology are enabling the control ofbiological processes through light. By incorporating light-actuated and light-emitting proteins into cells, keybiological processes at the single-cell level can be controlled in real-time. In parallel to such developments,nanotechnology is providing the engineering community with a new set of tools […]
The Internet is an open distributed network, used daily for many online services: to communicate, find information, do transactions, and be entertained. This very openness poses some vulnerabilities, allowing attacks such as ID theft, denial of service, industrial espionage, and extortion.Internet of Things (IoT) is the most disruptive event in communications since the advent of […]
Layers of smartness—using technology and data—are being built into cities to make them safer,more efficient, and sustainable. Developed cities around the world are actively launching smartsolutions, while new and emerging cities are integrating intelligent, connected systems from thestart. The big cities of today may not be those of tomorrow. The opportunities areimmense—across infrastructure, mobility, energy, […]
