A robust and scalable crowd management infrastructure is crucial in addressing operational challenges when deploying high-density sensors and actuators in a smart city. While crowdsourcing is widely used in crowd management, conventional solutions, such as Upwork and Amazon Mechanical Turk, generally depend on a trusted third-party platform. There exist several potential security concerns(e.g., sensitive leakage, single point of failure and unfair judgment) in such a centralized paradigm. Hence, a recent trend in crowdsourcing is to leverage blockchain(a decentralized ledger technology) to address some of the existing limitations. A small number of blockchain-based crowdsourcing systems(BCSs) with incentive mechanisms have been proposed in the literature, but they are generally not designed with security in mind. Thus, we study the security and privacy requirements of a secure BCS and propose a concrete solution(i.e., SecBCS)with a prototype implementation based on JUICE.

The paper introduces a novel framework for safe and autonomous aerial physical interaction in industrial settings. It comprises two main components: a neural network-based target detection system enhanced with edge computing for reduced onboard computational load, and a control barrier function (CBF)-based controller for safe and precise maneuvering. The target detection system is trained on a dataset under challenging visual conditions and evaluated for accuracy across various unseen data with changing lighting conditions. Depth features are utilized for target pose estimation, with the entire detection framework offloaded into low-latency edge computing. The CBF-based controller enables the UAV to converge safely to the target for precise contact. Simulated evaluations of both the controller and target detection are presented, alongside an analysis of real-world detection performance.
We consider the problem of task offloading in multi-access edge computing (MEC) systems constituting N devices assisted by an edge server (ES), where the devices can split task execution between a local processor and ...

This paper presents an innovative approach to designing dual-frequency Metasurface (MTS) antennas. These antennas cater to the growing demand for multifrequency capabilities in applications like Earth science, satellite communications, and remote sensing. Traditional multifrequency antenna designs have limitations, often requiring external feeds. The paper outlines the foundational principles of single-layer, single frequency MTS antenna design and expands upon them to introduce a dual-band, dual-layered antenna configuration. The proposed design leverages Foster's reactance theorem to enable independent operation of two patterned metallic sheet at two widely separated frequencies with coplanar excitation. Simulation results demonstrate the antenna's performance, not only in broadside operation but also at various pointing angles. This approach offers a promising solution for compact multifrequency antennas in space-constrained applications, addressing the needs of modern communication systems.
Traditionally, Industrial Control Systems (ICS) have been operated as air-gapped networks, without a necessity to connect directly to the Internet. With the introduction of the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm, along...

A Photovoltaic-Battery-Green Hydrogen nanogrid system is designed and modeled to investigate its potential as a decentralized energy solution able to satisfy the load profile of Near Zero Energy Buildings. Such a system could potentially maximize self-consumption through onsite power generation, which also achieves minimization of dependence on the central power grid. The proposed system includes battery and hydrogen energy storage for various purposes. Such a combination could succeed in satisfying both the need for rapid power supply when needed (through battery energy storage), but it can also provide seasonal energy storage when the weather pattern of available solar energy changes between summer and winter (through hydrogen energy storage). The Green Hydrogen subsystem includes electrolyzer and fuel cell units, both based on proton exchange membrane technology, a hydrogen storage unit, and auxiliary components. The proposed system generates 110 kg of hydrogen per year, with electrolyzer and fuel cell efficiencies (at full load design conditions) at 58.4% and 45.8%, respectively. Self-sufficiency rate is close to 100%, while self-consumption rate is slightly below 48%.
