This paper investigates how quantum computers can emulate entanglement distribution networks under practical impairments like depolarizing noise and communication latency, demonstrating that while different noise modeling techniques are mathematically equivalent, they yield significantly different performance results on actual hardware due to specific constraints.
This paper proposes a unified system architecture and evaluation methodology for AI-native Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) that formalizes a three-stage validation pipeline and a reporting checklist linking technical performance metrics to application-level value, aiming to bridge the gap between theoretical gains and deployment-ready performance through representative UAV and RIS case studies.
This paper introduces and evaluates two structured Conformal Prediction strategies, Level-wise CP and Projection-based CP, to address the limitations of flat classification in OS fingerprinting by demonstrating a fundamental trade-off between the tighter, human-friendly prediction sets of the former and the structurally consistent, policy-ready sets of the latter.
This paper introduces the Secure Edge Gateway (SEG) framework, a privacy-by-design architecture for remote elderly care that simultaneously ensures GDPR compliance through edge-layer pseudonymisation, maintains zero-interaction usability for the elderly, and validates security via STRIDE-based threat modelling, demonstrating that regulatory adherence and operational efficiency are complementary goals in resource-constrained IoMT systems.
