Foundations for Energy-Aware Zero-Energy Devices: From Energy Sensing to Adaptive Protocols
Zero-energy devices (ZEDs) are key enablers of sustainable Internet of Things networks by operating solely on harvested ambient energy. Their limited and dynamic energy budget calls for protocols that are energy-aware and intelligently adaptive. However, designing effective energy-aware protocols for ZEDs requires theoretical models that realistically reflect device constraints. Indeed, existing approaches often oversimplify key aspects such as energy information (EI) acquisition, task-level va…

The Xeno Sutra: Can Meaning and Value be Ascribed to an AI-Generated "Sacred" Text?
This paper presents a case study in the use of a large language model to generate a fictional Buddhist "sutr"', and offers a detailed analysis of the resulting text from a philosophical and literary point of view. The conceptual subtlety, rich imagery, and density of allusion found in the text make it hard to causally dismiss on account of its mechanistic origin. This raises questions about how we, as a society, should come to terms with the potentially unsettling possibility of a technology th…

Bruchsal treibt auch im Süden Windpark-Ausbau voran
Für den Windpark im Süden von Bruchsal beginnt jetzt die Ausschreibung. Das gefällt nicht jedem. Auch ein Bürgerbegehren ist im Gespräch.
