Simultaneous Multi-Modal Covert Communications: Analysis and Optimization

This paper analyzes and optimizes simultaneous multi-modal covert communications in heterogeneous wireless networks by deriving optimal detection error probabilities for scenarios where an adversary either knows or is unaware of the selected modalities, and proposes a low-complexity modality selection technique that maximizes covertness while satisfying transmission rate constraints.

Integrated Online Monitoring and Adaption of Process Model Predictive Controllers

This paper proposes a novel event-triggered, data-based adaptation method for Model Predictive Control that utilizes statistical monitoring to detect performance degradation and selectively updates the controller via reinforcement learning and identification, thereby avoiding the pitfalls of continuous updates like catastrophic forgetting, and validates the approach on a district heating system benchmark.

Technology configurations for decarbonizing residential heat supply through district heating and implications for the electricity network

This paper presents a decision-support method that combines modeling-to-generate-alternatives with power flow simulations to design diverse, cost-effective, and socially acceptable carbon-neutral district heating networks that minimize impacts on the electricity grid, as demonstrated through a Dutch case study.

Conformalized Data-Driven Reachability Analysis with PAC Guarantees

This paper introduces Conformalized Data-Driven Reachability (CDDR), a framework that leverages the Learn Then Test procedure to provide Probably Approximately Correct (PAC) coverage guarantees for reachable set over-approximations in linear and nonlinear systems using only independent and identically distributed calibration data, thereby overcoming the limitations of existing deterministic methods that require known noise bounds or specific system parameters.

Absorption-Based, Passive Range Imaging from Hyperspectral Thermal Measurements

This paper introduces a passive range imaging method that jointly estimates object distance and intrinsic properties from hyperspectral thermal measurements by computationally separating atmospheric absorption effects from surface radiance, utilizing regularization and atmospheric modeling to recover range features in natural scenes without active illumination.

Mitigation of Radar Range Deception Jamming Using Random Finite Sets

This paper proposes a radar target tracking framework utilizing random finite sets and multiple hypothesis tracking to effectively mitigate main-beam range deception jamming, specifically range gate pull-off attacks, by modeling jammer-induced biases and false detections to maintain accurate target tracking and enable attack detection without relying on additional signal features.
