In this paper we investigate the feasibility of a simple wearable system that can be used at home to detect or monitor excess fluid buildup in the lungs. This is a medical condition referred to as pulmonary edema. A methodology has been developed to
The safety of Automated Driving System (ADS) equipped vehicles and reliable methods for assessing that safety are critical for successfully deploying these engineered systems into the market. This document presents a novel approach for developing an ADS

This publication provides a catalog of internet of things (IoT) device cybersecurity capabilities (i.e., features and functions needed from a device to support security controls) and non-technical supporting capabilities (i.e., actions and support needed
Causality is a basic concept in system theory. In this paper we introduce the notions of causal and non-causal indoor localization. A non-causal localization system uses future signal and sensor measurements, in addition to past and present ones, to
Potorti et. al. wrote a paper [1] that was dubbed as the first critical reading of the international standard ISO/IEC 18305 [2], Test and evaluation of localization and tracking systems. The author of this paper served as the Editor of ISO/IEC 18305. As
The challenges of the Internet of Things (IoT) sensor networks include connectivity, interoperability, security, and privacy. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) P1451.0 standard is being revised based on these challenges and
