Marine pollution is a growing worldwide concern, affecting health of marine ecosystems, human health, climate change, and weather patterns. To reduce underwater pollution, it is critical to have access to accurate information about the extent of marine pollutants as otherwise appropriate countermeasures and cleaning measures cannot be chosen. Currently such information is difficult to acquire as existing monitoring solutions are highly laborious or costly, limited to specific pollutants, and have limited spatial and temporal resolution. In this article, we present a research vision of large-scale autonomous marine pollution monitoring that uses coordinated groups of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV)s to monitor extent and characteristics of marine pollutants. We highlight key requirements and reference technologies to establish a research roadmap for realizing this vision. We also address the feasibility of our vision, carrying out controlled experiments that address classification of pollutants and collaborative underwater processing, two key research challenges for our vision.

We outline design and lines of development of autonomous tools for the computing Grid management, monitoring and optimization. The management is proposed to be based on the notion of utility. Grid optimization is considered to be application-oriented . A generic Grid simulator is proposed as an optimization tool for Grid structure and functionality.
6G technology targets to revolutionize the mobility industry by revamping the role of wireless connections. In this article, we draw out our vision on an intelligent, cooperative, and sustainable mobility environment of the future, discussing how 6G will positively impact mobility services and applications. The scenario in focus is a densely populated area by smart connected entities that are mutually connected over a 6G virtual bus, which enables access to an extensive and always up-to-date set of context-sensitive information. The augmented dataset is functional to let vehicles engage in adaptive and cooperative learning mechanisms, enabling fully automated functionalities with higher communication integrity and reduced risk of accidents while being a sentient and collaborative processing node of the same ecosystem. Smart sensing and communication technologies are discussed herein, and their convergence is devised by the pervasiveness of artificial intelligence in centralized or distributed and federated network architectures.
Analyzing and controlling large distributed services under a wide range of conditions is difficult. Yet these capabilities are essential to a number of important development and operational tasks such as benchmarking, testing, and system management. To facilitate these tasks, we have built the Application Control and Monitoring Environment (ACME), a scalable, flexible infrastructure for monitoring, analyzing, and controlling Internet-scale systems. ACME consists of two parts. ISING, the Internet Sensor In-Network agGregator, queries sensors and aggregates the results as they are routed through an overlay network. ENTRIE, the ENgine for TRiggering Internet Events, uses the data streams supplied by ISING, in combination with a users XML configuration file, to trigger actuators such as killing processes during a robustness benchmark or paging a system administrator when predefined anomalous conditions are observed. In this paper we describe the design, implementation, and evaluation of ACME and its constituent parts. We find that for a 512-node system running atop an emulated Internet topology, ISINGs use of in-network aggregation can reduce end-to-end query-response latency by more than 50% compared to using either direct network connections or the same overlay network without aggregation. We also find that an untuned implementation of ACME can invoke an actuator on one or all nodes in response to a discrete or aggregate event in less than four seconds, and we illustrate ACMEs applicability to concrete benchmarking and monitoring scenarios.
In numerical computations, precision of floating-point computations is a key factor to determine the performance (speed and energy-efficiency) as well as the reliability (accuracy and reproducibility). However, precision generally plays a contrary ro le for both. Therefore, the ultimate concept for maximizing both at the same time is the minimal-precision computing through precision-tuning, which adjusts the optimal precision for each operation and data. Several studies have been already conducted for it so far (e.g. Precimoniuos and Verrou), but the scope of those studies is limited to the precision-tuning alone. Hence, we aim to propose a broader concept of the minimal-precision computing system with precision-tuning, involving both hardware and software stack. In 2019, we have started the Minimal-Precision Computing project to propose a more broad concept of the minimal-precision computing system with precision-tuning, involving both hardware and software stack. Specifically, our system combines (1) a precision-tuning method based on Discrete Stochastic Arithmetic (DSA), (2) arbitrary-precision arithmetic libraries, (3) fast and accurate numerical libraries, and (4) Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with High-Level Synthesis (HLS). In this white paper, we aim to provide an overview of various technologies related to minimal- and mixed-precision, to outline the future direction of the project, as well as to discuss current challenges together with our project members and guest speakers at the LSPANC 2020 workshop; https://www.r-ccs.riken.jp/labs/lpnctrt/lspanc2020jan/.
With the wide bandwidths in millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency band that results in unprecedented accuracy, mmWave sensing has become vital for many applications, especially in autonomous vehicles (AVs). In addition, mmWave sensing has superior relia bility compared to other sensing counterparts such as camera and LiDAR, which is essential for safety-critical driving. Therefore, it is critical to understand the security vulnerabilities and improve the security and reliability of mmWave sensing in AVs. To this end, we perform the end-to-end security analysis of a mmWave-based sensing system in AVs, by designing and implementing practical physical layer attack and defense strategies in a state-of-the-art mmWave testbed and an AV testbed in real-world settings. Various strategies are developed to take control of the victim AV by spoofing its mmWave sensing module, including adding fake obstacles at arbitrary locations and faking the locations of existing obstacles. Five real-world attack scenarios are constructed to spoof the victim AV and force it to make dangerous driving decisions leading to a fatal crash. Field experiments are conducted to study the impact of the various attack scenarios using a Lincoln MKZ-based AV testbed, which validate that the attacker can indeed assume control of the victim AV to compromise its security and safety. To defend the attacks, we design and implement a challenge-response authentication scheme and a RF fingerprinting scheme to reliably detect aforementioned spoofing attacks.
