To curtail the rising tide of antiscience threatening health and progress society, scientists are increasingly engaging with public. Here, we describe our approach to write accessible books based on personal stories as a means help spread scientific literacy those who normally do not read science. The dismal response coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in some technologically advanced societies...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are quickly gaining popularity because they are potentially low-cost solutions that can be used in a variety of application areas. However, they are highly susceptible to attacks and it is very probable that an intruder catches already existing security measures out. AWISSENET (Ad-hoc personal area network & WIreless Sensor SEcure NETwork) is a project funded by ...

In this paper, the stability analysis and control design of heterogeneous traffic flow is considered. It is assumed that the traffic flow consists of infinite number of cooperative non-identical vehicular platoons. Two different networks are investigated in stability analysis of heterogeneous traffic flow: 1) inter-platoon network which deals with the communication topology of lead vehicles and...

VideoProbe is an example of a technology probe, which combines the goals of gathering data about daily family life, inspiring ideas for new communication technologies and testing them in real-world settings. Family members living in remote households can share pictures and personal information with each other via a closed, secure network. This paper reports our experiences installing videoProbe...

Communication networks have been developed based on two networking approaches: bridging and routing. The convergence to an all-Ethernet paradigm in Personal and Local Area Networks and the increasing heterogeneity found in these networks emphasizes the current and future applicability of bridging. When bridging is used, a single active spanning tree needs to be defined. A Minimum Routing Cost T...

This paper describes the Virtual City Portal prototype that is developed within the SOFTNET project. The system allows automobile users to request information or communication services using different wireless access systems. We integrate, broadcast networks like DVB-T for area-wide broadband delivery of general information, Wireless LAN for hot spot access and ad-hoc communication between vehi...
