Many weight quantization approaches were explored to save the communication bandwidth between the clients and the server in federated learning using high-end computing machines. However, there is a lack of weight quantization ...

LoRa is a popular communication technology used in Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Typically, in the LoRaWAN architecture, an end node periodically sends a LoRaWAN message to a gateway connected to the Internet. ...

Internet and communication technologies have lowered the costs for communities to collaborate, leading to new services like user-generated content and social computing, and through collaboration, collectively built ...

Community network clouds provide for applications of local interest deployed within community networks through collaborative efforts to provision cloud infrastructures. They complement the traditional large-scale public ...

Cloud services in community networks have been enabled by micro-cloud providers. They form community network micro-clouds (CNMCs), which grow organically, i.e. without being planned and optimized beforehand. Services running ...

The provision of real-time and highly accurate information in large-scale distributed systems is technically difficult and approximations imply uncertainty. In economic science, however, reliable information about markets, ...

Testbeds are a stage between the simulation and the production stages. To this end they must be as close as possible to production environments (i.e. real hardware, on the field deployments) while also keeping the traits ...
