Secure Communication Over Interference Channel: To Jam or not to Jam?

Visually Understanding Jam Resistant Communication

The primary goal of information security is to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, authenticity, and availability of information. Availability is often relegated to a discussion of denial of service attacks on network resources. Another form of denying availability is to prevent communication through the use of traditional jamming techniques. At the United States Air Force Academy Center for...

Jam-X: Wireless Agreement under Interference

Wireless low-power transceivers used in sensor networks such as IEEE 802.15.4 typically operate in unlicensed frequency bands that are subject to external interference from devices transmitting at much higher power. Communication protocols should therefore be designed to be robust against such interference. A critical building block of many protocols at all layers is agreement on a piece of inf...

JAM-O-WORLD: Evolution of the Jam-O-Drum into the Jam-O-Whirl Gaming Interface

This paper discusses the Jam-O-Drum multi-player musical controller and its adaptation into a gaming controller interface known as the Jam-O-Whirl. The Jam-O-World project positioned these two controller devices in a dedicated projection environment that enabled novice players to participate in immersive musical gaming experiences. Players' actions, detected via embedded sensors in an integrate...

No "simple solutions" to emergency log-jam.

Defining Game Jam

In this paper, an analysis of game jam descriptions and definitions in academic papers is presented. A total of 20 papers from various publication venues from 2006 to 2014 are analyzed in terms of their conceptualizations of a “game jam”. The background of the papers and their contribution to game jam research are also critically examined. A further explication, “an advanced definition”, is pro...
