Receiving RISs: Enabling Channel Estimation and Autonomous Configuration
This chapter focuses on a hardware architecture for semi-passive Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) and investigates its consideration for boosting the performance of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) communication systems. The architecture incorporates a single or multiple radio-frequency chains to receive pilot signals via tunable absorption phase profiles realized by the metasurface front end, as well as a controller encompassing a baseband processing unit to carry out channel es…

A Systematic Literature Review on Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD) for Secure Cloud Computing
As cloud environments become widespread, cybersecurity has emerged as a top priority across areas such as networks, communication, data privacy, response times, and availability. Various sectors, including industries, healthcare, and government, have recently faced cyberattacks targeting their computing systems. Ensuring secure app deployment in cloud environments requires substantial effort. With the growing interest in cloud security, conducting a systematic literature review (SLR) is critica…

My least favorite work interactions are with customers’ 3rd party “rockstar” consultants. I never know how to respond to certain sorts of queries. Ones where I could answer the question as asked but it really implies a deeper misunderstanding. I feel like I want to write him a treatise on VPNs: what they are and how they work. And Cc his boss (who shares his surname…) to communicate the depth of the problem.
I’m letting my boss handle it. He’s the networking guy anyway…

Multimodal Sensing and Machine Learning to Compare Printed and Verbal Assembly Instructions Delivered by a Social Robot
In this paper, we compare a manual assembly task communicated to workers using both printed and robot-delivered instructions. The comparison was made using physiological signals (blood volume pulse (BVP) and electrodermal activity (EDA)) collected from individuals during an experimental study. In addition, we also collected responses of individuals using the NASA Task Load Index (TLX) survey. Furthermore, we mapped the collected physiological signals to the responses of participants for NASA TL…

Identification of RIS-Assisted Paths for Wireless Integrated Sensing and Communication
Distinguishing between reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) assisted paths and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) paths is a fundamental problem for RIS-assisted integrated sensing and communication. In this work, we propose a pattern alternation scheme for the RIS response that uses part of the RIS as a dynamic part to modulate the estimated channel power, which can considerably help the user equipments (UEs) to identify the RIS-assisted paths. Under such a dynamic setup, we formulate the detection …
