The Search for Relevance: A Context-Aware Paradigm Shift in Semantic and Task-Oriented V2X Communications
The design of communication systems has traditionally focused on the reliable and timely delivery of data. However, the scalability challenges faced by the evolution to a 6G-driven society demand new communication paradigms that carefully curate the content being transmitted. This paper envisions a joint semantic and task-oriented communication paradigm where Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) transmit only the information necessary to convey the desired meaning that is relevant to the in…

Functional vs. Object-Oriented: Comparing How Programming Paradigms Affect the Architectural Characteristics of Systems
After decades of dominance by object-oriented programming (OOP), functional programming (FP) is gaining increasing attention in the software industry. This study compares the impact of OOP and FP on the architectural characteristics of software systems. For that, it examines the design and implementation of a Digital Wallet system, developed in Kotlin (representing OOP) and Scala (representing FP). The comparison is made through both qualitative and quantitative analyses to explore how each par…

Russian developer Yegor from yegor256.com uses a simple example of two similar approaches to modeling an action, and their implications from an object-oriented design and programming patterns perspective. One of the two approaches provides superior extensibility, data encapsulation, and more flexible error handling.

LightCom: A Generative AI-Augmented Framework for QoE-Oriented Communications
Data-intensive and immersive applications, such as virtual reality, impose stringent quality of experience (QoE) requirements that challenge traditional quality of service (QoS)-driven communication systems. This paper presents LightCom, a lightweight encoding and generative AI (GenAI)-augmented decoding framework, designed for QoE-oriented communications under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions. LightCom simplifies transmitter design by applying basic low-pass filtering for source codi…
