Quantum Telecommunications Demystified

Posted on May 28th, 2023 by Shafi Muhammed

Introduction There is considerable concern that quantum computing will make existing communications security protocols obsolete. In particular, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) methods are believed to be vulnerable using the Shor algorithm.  This article seeks to familiarize the readers with the new quantum-based technologies and explore their impact on telecommunications, such as PKI.  There is much…

5G, M2M, IoT …. Systematic Innovation Using TRIZ

Posted on August 22nd, 2018 by Editor (Emma)

We kicked off our innovation curriculum in 2015 with a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) attended by hundreds of engineers worldwide. While many innovation methodologies are creativity stimulation techniques rooted in psychology, TRIZ turns inventing  into a systematic, algorithmic process. We teach both types of courses, but the demand for TRIZ has grown steadily, making our TRIZ curriculum grow over the years as well.

The IoT and the Serious Security Risks It Poses

Posted on July 9th, 2018 by Editor (Emma)

Introduction The Internet of Things (IOT) refers to the increasingly networked world we now inhabit, in which more and more “smart” devices use Internet to interact with other devices, servers, or with various users.  It is not a new type of Internet, but an evolutionary development that shows how incremental technology growth can lead to…

IoT-enabling Technologies: IEEE 802.15.4, WLLN, ZigBee, WAVE, Next Gen WiFi

Posted on March 15th, 2018 by Editor (Emma)

Eogogics IoT-enabling Technologies Workshop   The Internet is rapidly turning into a hyper-connected network of tens of billions of computers, smart phones, homes, buildings, vehicles, products, appliances, devices, machinery, and sensors. The Fifth Generation of Wireless (5G) is being engineered for such massive interconnectivity, but it will be aided by technologies such as LR-WPAN, WLLN,…

Technology and Society: The Changing Landscape

Posted on May 11th, 2017 by Editor (Emma)

Technology and Society: Introduction In the halcyon days of technology development, just a few decades ago, advances were greeted with enthusiasm. Everyone expected a better life from new devices: computers, microwaves, and nuclear power, to mention a few. Environmental concerns, global warming, worker displacement, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), energy conservation, and globalization were not on…

The Internet of Things: Smart Devices, M2M, WSNs, and IoT

Posted on May 8th, 2017 by Editor (Emma)

At its most basic level, IoT just connects simple devices over the Internet or other network which could be private and/or wireless. Common examples include the ‘program-from-anywhere’ thermostats and security systems already in use. At the mid-level, IoT is an enabler of new business and technology models, not just incremental improvement of existing ones. For example, autonomous vehicles will require very high levels of communication among devices in the vehicle (e.g., LIDAR, sensors, cameras, computers) and most likely devices/sensors outside the vehicle (e.g., other vehicles, fixed cameras, servers with detailed maps). At the highest level, the interconnection of devices could lead, over time, to new technologies that will reorganize the society, much as the automobile and the Internet have. One possibility is the “Smart City”, where IoT is used not only in autonomous vehicles, but where all types of transportation are linked to provide optimized people movement. Private self-drive cars, in this scenario, would rarely be needed. This could lead to entirely different land use patterns, for example.

Blockchain and Other Cutting Edge Tech

Posted on October 6th, 2016 by Editor (Emma)

Blockchain, the Distributed Ledger Technology behind Bitcoin, has attracted interest across many industries including financial services, legal, real estate, digital rights, identity management, healthcare, asset tracking, supply chain management, and the Internet of Things (IoT). A disruptive technology, it has the potential to transform the way many transactions are conducted.

Distributed Computing for IoT: Data Management in a Fog Computing Environment

Posted on August 12th, 2016 by Editor (Emma)

Mobile cellular operators are making plans for Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), which enables Cloud computing capabilities and an IT service environment at the edge of the cellular network. It is a concept developed by ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) that aims to bring computational power into Mobile RAN (radio access network) to promote virtualization of software at the radio edge. MEC brings virtualized applications much closer to mobile users ensuring network flexibility, economy and scalability for improved user experience.

MOOCs: A Revolution … or Just Plain Hype?

Posted on April 25th, 2016 by Olena Ivanova

As of this writing, hundreds of MOOCs are being offered by US and foreign universities and millions of people have registered for them. But are they effective? They have been criticized for their lack of academic rigor. They also suffer from poor completion rates, with the bulk of participants dropping out in the first few days of the course. But they do offer the promise of making higher education and degrees accessible to a much larger chunk of the world’s population at a fraction of the cost, significantly reducing the cost of corporate training, and providing a convenient and cost-effective option for lifelong learning.

Decision-Making Tools and Expected Monetary Value (EMV)

Decision-Makers’ Toolkit   “Decision-making is the cognitive process of selecting a course of action from among multiple alternatives. Every decision-making process produces a final choice.” That’s what Wikipedia says anyway. What it doesn’t say is that some decisions must be made for outcomes that will occur in the future. However, there are a couple of…

SDN/NFV (Software Defined Networking, Network Functions Virtualization): Networking Game Changers?

Posted on January 25th, 2016 by Editor (Emma)

The terms SDN (Software Defined Networks) and NFV (Network Functions Virtualization) have acquired magical connotations for those who work with networks but are not technical, raising many expectations. Are SDN and NFV really such a game changer for networking? SDN and NFV are among the half dozen or so technologies seeking to address the issues that trouble contemporary networks. The other major technologies in the mix include GMPLS, ASON, high-speed Ethernet, NGN, and OTN, with a good deal of overlap between the various solutions that have been proposed.

SDN/NFV: Enhancing Network Capacity and Functionality

Posted on November 10th, 2015 by Editor (Emma)

SDN and NFV have been developed to help meet the challenge of increasing demand for services and user expectation of rapid provisioning and universal availability. Both rely on virtualization, the ability to make a piece of equipment look like another via the magic of software. SDN was originally developed to address the problems of large data centers, where virtualization of hardware and operating system is important. It will likely spread to other areas, including the WAN, where virtualization and the ability to dial up bandwidth and related characteristics would be extremely valuable as well. NFV is an outgrowth of SDN in many respects, concentrating on backbone networks, where the need to rapidly reconfigure resources is key.

To Blog, or Not to Blog: That Is (Hardly) the Question.

Posted on November 27th, 2014 by New Admin

In the past few months, more than one newspaper has carried articles referring to the slow-down, if not demise, of the blogging phenomenon. (A WSJ story also talked about how some companies employ ghost bloggers living half-way around the world to “adapt” content found on other web sites that they can pass off as their original blogs for remunerations as low as a dollar an article.) What they are talking about though is blogging as a business
