Sensory systems in animals and robots can receive information from the environment via modulations of sensory signals. Environmental features and conspecifics generate these modulations, and effective computational algorithms in sensory systems can demodulate signals to perceive the features. However, interaction of multiple modulations can themselves generate emergent modulations, which can en...

As modern networks grow in size, complexity and variety, the change in networks is not just terms of scale but also in the emergence of newer types of communication networks such as wireless sensor, ad-hoc, peer-to-peer (P2P), multiagent, nano-communication, mobile robot, Internet of Things (IoT), cloud-based and social networks. Various inherent nonlinearities in network operations can lead to...

Through the study of standardized practices (walking tours, bus-tours) and devices (maps, guidebooks) for touring cities, this dissertation shows (1) how the city of Berlin is transformed into a virtual object, namely, an urban destination, (2) how such transformation is enabled not simply by tourist movement in space and being away from ‚home‘, but by tourist communication on the city, and (3)...
