Intelligent Digital Twin Communication Framework for Addressing Accuracy and Timeliness Tradeoff in Resource-Constrained Networks (2024)
Journal Article
Cakir, L. V., Thomson, C. J., Özdem, M., Canberk, B., Nguyen, V.-L., & Duong, T. Q. (online). Intelligent Digital Twin Communication Framework for Addressing Accuracy and Timeliness Tradeoff in Resource-Constrained Networks. IEEE Transactions on Cognitive Communications and Networking, https://doi.org/10.1109/tccn.2024.3469234

The accuracy and timeliness tradeoff prevents Digital Twins (DTs) from realizing their full potential. High accuracy is crucial for decision-making, and timeliness is equally essential for responsiveness. Therefore, this tradeoff in DT communication...

Impact Analysis of Security Attacks on Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) (2024)
Journal Article
Baird, I., Wadhaj, I., Ghaleb, B., & Thomson, C. (2024). Impact Analysis of Security Attacks on Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). Electronics, 13(16), Article 3314. https://doi.org/10.3390/electronics13163314

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) offer a decentralized communication solution ideal for infrastructure-less environments like disaster relief zones. However, their inherent lack of central control and dynamic topology make them vulnerable to attacks.... Read More about Impact Analysis of Security Attacks on Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs).
