The CASE Framework -- A New Architecture for Participatory Research and Digital Health Surveillance
We present the CASE framework, an open-source platform for adaptive, context-aware participatory research, and pandemic preparedness.

The framework supports a broad range of research needs, from simple one-time questionnaires to complex longitudinal studies with advanced conditional logic. …

Investigating A Geometrical Solution to the Vergence-Accommodation Conflict for Targeted Movements in Virtual Reality
While virtual reality (VR) holds significant potential to revolutionize digital user interaction, how visual information is presented through VR head-mounted displays (HMDs) differs from naturalistic viewing and interactions in physical environments, leading to performance decrements. One critical challenge in VR development is the vergence-accommodation conflict (VAC), which arises due to the intrinsic constraints of approximating the natural viewing geometry through digital displays.

Understanding and Embracing Imperfection in Physical Learning Networks
Performing machine learning (ML) with analog instead of digital signals offers advantages in speed and energy efficiency, but component and measurement imperfections can make nonlinear analog networks difficult to train. As a result, most schemes involve a precise digital model, either to train alone or in tandem with experiments.

OptGM: An Optimized Gate Merging Method to Mitigate NBTI in Digital Circuits
This paper presents OptGM, an optimized gate merging method designed to mitigate negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) in digital circuits. First, the proposed approach effectively identifies NBTI-critical internal nodes, defined as those with a signal probability exceeding a predefined threshold. Next, based on the proposed optimized algorithm, the sensitizer gate (which drives the critical node) and the sensitive gate (which is fed by it) are merged into a new complex gate. This comple…

Data-driven agriculture, which integrates technology and data into agricultural practices, has the potential to improve crop yield, disease resilience, and long-term soil health. However, privacy concerns, such as adverse pricing, discrimination, and resource manipulation, deter farmers from sharing data, as it can be used against them. To address this barrier, we propose a privacy-preserving framework that enables secure data sharing and collaboration for research and development while mitigat…

The Composition of Digital Twins for Systems-of-Systems: a Systematic Literature Review
Digital Twins (DTs) are increasingly used to model complex systems, especially in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and System-of-Systems (SoS), where effective integration is key. This systematic literature review investigates DT composition and verification and validation (V&V) methodologies. Analyzing 21 studies from 2022-2024, we examined composition mechanisms, SoS characteristics, and V&V formality, scope, and challenges. While composition is discussed, formalization is limited. V&V approaches…

A Practical Approach to Power Saving in Hearables Using Sub-Nyquist Sampling with Bandwidth Extension
Hearables are wearable computers that are worn on the ear. Bone conduction microphones (BCMs) are used with air conduction microphones (ACMs) in hearables as a supporting modality for multimodal speech enhancement (SE) in noisy conditions. However, existing works don't consider the following practical aspects for low-power implementations on hearables: (i) They do not explore how lowering the sampling frequencies and bit resolutions in analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) of hearables jointly im…

Unpacking Digital Sovereignty: How to avoid fueling the nationalist rise
With the new ruling coalition of Trump, Musk and Big Tech, European digital sovereignty seems to be the widely accepted solution to break free from US companies that are used to threaten European governments. The EU is reviving industrial policy and is willing to invest a lot of money into digital sovereignty - but which problems exactly should it address, and what should be part of the solution? This talk shows that digital sovereignty is prone to open the door to a nationalist agenda which fa…

An Expert Survey on Models and Digital Twins
Digital Twins (DTs) are becoming increasingly vital for future industrial applications, enhancing monitoring, control, and optimization of physical assets. This enhancement is made possible by integrating various Digital Models (DMs) within DTs, which must interoperate to represent different system aspects and fulfill diverse application purposes. However, industry perspectives on the challenges and research needs for integrating these models are rarely obtained. Thus, this study conducts an ex…

The stablecoin evangelist: Katie Haun's fight for digital dollars | TechCrunch
In 2018, when Bitcoin was trading around $4,000 and most Americans, at least, thought cryptocurrency was a fad, Katie Haun found herself on a debate stage in Mexico City opposite Paul Krugman, the Nobel Prize-winning economist. As Krugman focused on Bitcoin's wild price swings, Haun steered the conversation toward something else — stablecoins.
