Abstract We present the scientific program of Spectr-M project aimed at creation and operation Millimetron Space Observatory (MSO) planned for launch in late 2020s. The unique technical capabilities observatory will enable broadband observations astronomical objects from 50 μm to 10 mm wavelengths with a record sensitivity (up ∼ 0.1 μJy) single-dish mode an unprecedented high angular resolution...

Understanding how the brain manages billions of processing units connected via kilometers of fibers and trillions of synapses, while consuming a few tens of Watts could provide the key to a completely new category of hardware (neuromorphic computing systems). In order to achieve this, a paradigm shift for computing as a whole is needed, which will see it moving away from current "bit precise" c...

The huge investment in 3G mobile licences is an incentive to develop extra services above and beyond basic telephony and data services. Service control provides an infrastructure to deliver services, particularly those of a real-time nature. This paper focuses on the progress in developing service control in the context of the 3GPP Release 4/5 network. To achieve the objectives for service evol...

The pervasive computing paradigm assumes an essentially dynamic model of interaction between devices that also motivates the need to discover the services offered by previously unknown parties at an early phase of these interactions. Whereas this assumption is at the heart of many pervasive computing protocols and systems, the necessity of securing service discovery and the complexity of this t...

Abstract The EU Data Act proposal (DA) seeks to introduce new rights for the users of internet things (IoT) devices regarding access, use and sharing data generated through their these devices. This paper presents results a first analysis effectiveness this ‘user rights’ mechanism from ‘law economics’ perspective. It concludes that DA will not achieve its objectives (a) empowering IoT (especial...
