This lecture focuses on the ethical considerations associated with the humanitarian use of drones. The findings are based on two recent field studies conducted in Nepal and Malawi, during 2019-2020, around two main applications – disaster mapping and medical supply delivery.
Although we would like to deliver wireless broadband services everywhere, the underlying physics makes it inherently complicated. This talk will explain the fundamentals of this new technology from a signal processing perspective.
This talk will provide an overview of the field of cyber-deception and explore its use to deliberately create uncertainty and confusion in an attacker’s mind.
Since 2016 a controversy has developed about a possible attack on US personnel at the U.S. Embassy in Havana.

As use of telepsychiatry in mental health via video/phone visits soars, it is important to consider also how asynchronous telepsychiatry tools like smartphone apps can also advance care. This talk will describe the evolving field of smartphone digital phenotyping, the potential for real time data capture via smartphones, methods to analyse apps for mental health, and practical clinical applications of these tools.
Data communications between Earth and spacecrafts, such as satellites, have traditionally been carried out through dedicated links. Shared links using Internet Protocol-based communication offers a number of advantages over dedicated links, however, the movement of spacecrafts gives rise to mobility management issues. This talk will discuss various mobility management solutions for extending the Internet connection to spacecrafts.
Dr Andrea Simonetto from IBM Research Ireland will give a talk on online optimization for cyber-physical and social systems.
This Lecture shares thoughts and ethical insights about the social trajectory of technologies that track and interact with human emotion and affective states.
