On the Theory and Practice of Modern Secure Messaging

Billions of people now have conversations daily over the Internet. A large portion of this communication takes place via secure messaging protocols that offer "end-to-end encryption'" guarantees and resilience to compromise like the widely-used Double Ratc ...

Human-Robot Swarm Interaction: An Explorative Path to Foster Complex Systems Understanding

Hala Khodr

Order, regularities, and patterns are ubiquitous around us. A flock of birds maneuvering in the sky, the self-organization of social insects, a global pandemic or a traffic jam are examples of complex systems where the macroscopic patterns arise from the m ...

Hypergraph-Based Fast Distributed AC Power Flow Optimization

Colin Neil Jones, Yuning Jiang, Yingzhao Lian, Xinliang Dai

This paper presents a novel distributed approach for solving AC power flow (PF) problems. The optimization problem is reformulated into a distributed form using a communication structure corresponding to a hypergraph, by which complex relationships between ...

Uncooperative Rendezvous in Space: Design of an Electronic Architecture for High Performance Avionic with Multi Sensor Input and Intensive Data Rate.

Michaël Yannick Juillard

Active Debris Removal missions consist of sending a satellite in space and removing one or more debris from their current orbit. A key challenge is to obtain information about the uncooperative target. By gathering the velocity, position, and rotation of t ...

Critical node selection method for efficient Max-Pressure traffic signal control in large-scale congested networks

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Dimitrios Tsitsokas, Anastasios Kouvelas

Decentralized signal control of congested traffic networks based on the Max-Pressure (MP) controller is theoretically proven to maximize throughput, stabilize the system and balance queues for single intersections under specific conditions. However, its pe ...

Efficient Max-Pressure Traffic Management for Large-Scale Congested Urban Networks

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Dimitrios Tsitsokas, Anastasios Kouvelas

Traffic responsive signal control systems bear high potential in reducing delays in congested networks due to their ability of dynamically adjusting right-of-way assignment among conflicting movements, based on real-time traffic measurements. In this work, ...

Optimal routing and design of CO2 based district anergy networks

Andrea Valle

One of the main global goals is the reduction of the energy consumption and the most appropriate way for achieving this aim is to target one of most critical sectors, the residential. The selected technology for this work is the district energy network, wh ...

Geometry of the Loss Landscape in Overparameterized Neural Networks: Symmetries and Invariances

Wulfram Gerstner, Clément Hongler, Johanni Michael Brea, Francesco Spadaro, Berfin Simsek, Arthur Jacot

We study how permutation symmetries in overparameterized multi-layer neural networks generate `symmetry-induced' critical points. Assuming a network with
