The Cooja Simulator can be used to simulate and test mobile ad-hoc network protocols. However, an external Mobility plugin needs to be added to the simulator to achieve this. This article brings clarity over installing the Cooja Simulator plugin on the Contiki-NG (Next Generation) — the OS for IoT devices. Where to begin …

Getting to run star-animation NS-3 Simulation on Ubuntu 20.04 NS-3 is a simulator for IoT devices apart from Internet systems. Below we present how to get to run star-animation from installation on a virtual Ubuntu box on Windows Hyper-V. See the star-animation video here on the NS-3 simulator. This…

Creating virtual boxes on Windows Recently I set up an Ubuntu virtual box on my licensed Windows-10 pro PC. Steps are described below — Enabled Intel VMX Virtualization Technology in BIOS setup on my ASUS Maximum XII Hero motherboard 2. Turned on Hyper-V as Windows Features

WineHQ- Running Windows program on Linux Wine means “Wine Is Not a Windows Emulator.” It doesn’t emulate Windows; it’s an implementation of the Windows API for Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, and the BSD family of operating systems. See steps here for installing Wine on Ubuntu https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu Here are some…

They quickly adapt to new places, learn new skills and languages. Can we think of the same for machines?

By Jinkyu Kim and John Canny — A Report by Ambar Prajapati Original Research paper available here: Interpretable Learning for Self-Driving Cars by Visualizing Causal Attention Deep neural perception and control networks are likely to be a key component of self-driving vehicles. These models…arxiv.org Deep neural perception and control networks have become a key component of self-driving vehicles. The models used in these networks need to be explainable — they should provide easy-to-interpret logic behind their behavior — so that passengers, insurance companies, law…
