• Abstract: From a closed and controlled environment, neglecting all the external disturbances, information processing systems are now exposed to the complexity and the aleas of the physical environment, open and uncontrolled. Indeed, as envisioned by Mark Weiser as early as 1991, the progresses made on wireless communications, energy storage and the miniaturization of computer components, made it possible the fusion of the physical and digital worlds. This fusion is embodied in a set of concepts such as Internet of Things, Pervasive Computing, Ubiquitous Computing, etc. From a synthesis of these different concepts, we show that beyond the simple collection of environmental data from sensors, the purpose of the information processing systems underlying these concepts is to carry out relevant actions that the processing of these data suggests in our environment. However, due to the complexity of these systems and the inability to predict the effects of their actions, the responsibility for these actions still often remains with users. Mark Weiser's vision of disappearing computing is still far from being a reality. This situation calls for an epistemological rupture that is proposed to be concretized through the systemic approach which finds its foundations in constructivism. It is no longer a question of predicting but of evaluating in vivo the effectiveness of these systems. The perspectives for such an approach are discussed.

  Today's distributed and pervasive computing addresses large-scale cyber-physical ecosystems. Recent developments in fields such as self-organising systems and robotics swarm have opened up a complementary perspective: treating systems as "collectives" This article explores the motivations, state of the art, and implications of this "collective computing paradigm" in software engineering.

  Building future wireless systems that support services like digital twins (DTs) is challenging to achieve through advances to conventional technologies like meta-surfaces. While artificial intelligence (AI)-native networks promise to overcome some limitations of wireless technologies, developments still rely on AI tools like neural networks. This paper revisits the concept of AI-native wireless systems, equipping them with the common sense necessary to transform them into artificial general intelligence (AGI)-native systems.

This paper aims to conduct a comprehensive review and analysis of object detectors in open environments. We propose a framework that includes four quadrants (i.e., out-of-domain, out-of-category, robust learning, and incremental learning) based on the dimensions of the data / target changes.

  We predict a transition in quantum systems with all-to-all interactions accompanied by an environment. The transition is driven by the competition between the system intrinsic and environment propelled scramblings and the environment induced dissipation. Our study sheds light on the fundamental behavior of quantum systems in the presence of an environment.

Our method achieves displacement error by 0.67m in open-loop settings, surpassing current methods by 6.9% on the nuScenes dataset.

We conclude that binding physical entities to digital identities is possible in finite time with finite resources.
