Decentralized Multi-Robot Relative Navigation in Unknown, Structurally Constrained Environments under Limited Communication
Multi-robot navigation in unknown, structurally constrained, and GPS-denied environments presents a fundamental trade-off between global strategic foresight and local tactical agility, particularly under limited communication. Centralized methods achieve global optimality but suffer from high communication overhead, while distributed methods are efficient but lack the broader awareness to avoid deadlocks and topological traps. To address this, we propose a fully decentralized, hierarchical rela…

A Framework for Distributed Resource Allocation in Quantum Networks
We introduce a distributed resource allocation framework for the Quantum Internet that relies on feedback-based, fully decentralized coordination to serve multiple co-existing applications. We develop quantum network control algorithms under the mathematical framework of Quantum Network Utility Maximization (QNUM), where utility functions quantify network performance by mapping entanglement rate and quality into a joint optimization objective. We then introduce QPrimal-Dual, a decentralized, sc…

India is rolling out millions of smart meters that are doing more than tracking energy use—they're fundamentally reshaping the grid.
As rooftop solar and EVs spread, decentralized RF mesh networks connect devices affordably while multiple vendors collaborate to keep the system resilient. The focus: financial sustainability and renewable energy ambitions.

India’s smart metering boom reshapes grid through decentralized IoT
India’s power system is rapidly decentralizing as electricity demand, rooftop solar, electric vehicles, and distributed generation expand, turning a one-way grid into a dynamic network that increasingly depends on decentralized data systems such as RF mesh networks.

MeshCore is opensource
The foundation of MeshCore is developed primarily by a single developer who is incredibly hardworking, dedicated and idealistic about keeping everything he does fully open. The firmware and protocol specification are completely open, allowing anyone to create a client app or perform security audits on the device firmware implementation. Just hop over to the meshcore-dev github repo and have a look. There are also open source command line, python and javascript cl…

Are Voters Willing to Collectively Secure Elections? Unraveling a Practical Blockchain Voting System
Ensuring ballot secrecy is critical for fair and trustworthy electronic voting systems, yet achieving strong secrecy guarantees in decentralized, large-scale elections remains challenging. This paper proposes the concept of collectively secure voting, in which voters themselves can opt in as secret holders to protect ballot secrecy. A practical blockchain-based collectively secure voting system is designed and implemented. Our design strikes a balance between strong confidentiality guarantees a…

GCVE-BCP-05 - GCVE Vulnerability Format (Updated CVE Record Format) has been published as DRAFT and ready for public review.
The standard is similar to the @… record format with some extensions (via the X_ prefixes) for GCVE format and the reference implementation vulnerability-lookup. This allows some flexibility and innovation in GNA - GCVE space w…
