Welcome to Mobile Computing and Security Lab (MobCS Lab) in the Department of Computer Science at Boston University Metropolitan College.
Mobile devices are now pervasive, not only for personal usage, but also changing the traditional IT environment in enterprises. According to a survey of the organizations with 500 more employees by Gartner Inc, 90% of enterprises have already deployed mobile devices, with smartphones being most widely deployed. BYOD (bring your own device) is an inevitable trend but also top concern for enterprises security. As the new favorite target to attackers, mobile devices become a very vulnerable point to security threats because of its immaturity. As the most popular mobile platform, the open platform Android accounts for 79% of all smartphone shipped in the second quarter of 2013 based on the reports by Gartner and IDC. It also attracted most attention from attackers because of its popularity and openness.
The MobCS Lab studies various aspects in the mobile computing and security area with a particular focus on Android systems. Our work includes mobile platform enhancement, mobile application analysis and mobile sensing. The MobCS lab supports both education and research in Mobile Computing and Security by engaging the faculty and students in the research projects and by the provision of educational and research resources.


Economic, social, and environmental planning for a carbon-constrained future requires a capacity to monitor climate change impacts on vegetation and soil moisture at a level of detail that does not currently exist.
While radar measurements from satellites can provide this important information, the signals are confounded by complex interactions with the earth surface.
Specifically, terrain micro-topography, vegetation structure/ biomass, and the underlying soil moisture status, all interact together in an intricate way.
Using airborne radar data together with detailed ground measurements, models of this complex interaction will be developed and tested for subsequent time-series application to satellite data across Australia.
For further Project detail, see SMAPEx.
In the December quarter the estimation of canopy water content from PLIS L-band data continued, while an analysis of techniques for retrieving soil moisture data in agricultural crops was initiated in collaboration with a PhD student from Monash University.
A number of proposals have been submitted for continuing research and data acquisition.

NASA released the first images from the James Webb Space Telescope last Tuesday. The Webb telescope is the most powerful space-based telescope ever built. It was a collaboration between NASA and the European and Canadian space agencies. Webb orbits at a point a million miles out from the planet Earth; it got there late this February. It’s been scanning the cosmos since; these images are the first of what should be many.
One image was of the Carina Nebula, a giant gas cloud 7800 light years distant. This cloud is a place where gravity pulls the dust together to form new stars. Another image is a spectrum, that is a “fingerprint,” of the light coming from a planet that is orbiting a distant star. The light, collected by the Webb telescope, tells us that this planet has clouds and water in its atmosphere. This planet probably does not harbor life, but the work shows that the Webb telescope may be able to find other planets, far from our own solar system, which do.
One image released was of Stephan’s Quintet, a set of five galaxies, that is, five giant clouds of stars, with tens of millions of stars like our sun in each. Four of those galaxies are orbiting each other. Their gravitational pull will eventually bring them all together into one more massive galaxy. There is a fifth galaxy, to fill out the “quintet” of the name, but it is much closer—it just happens to “be in the picture.”
The Webb telescope cost 10 billion dollars. So yes, it is expensive, but it is money much better spent than the 40 billion that Biden sent to Ukraine for weaponry, and at the drop of a hat.
Thousands of scientists, engineers, administrators, and workers worked together to build and launch the James Webb Telescope, and as we can see, it is a collaboration between the space agencies of many countries. The Webb telescope reminds us of what we, humanity, are capable of. We can investigate the length and breadth of the universe, and peer back more than 13 billion years, to look at the aftermath of the Big Bang, that is, the beginning of the universe.
But at the same time, it stands in stark contrast to the fact that, with all our technology, with all its ability to produce, capitalism refuses to feed, clothe, and house an enormous portion of our population.

A huge revolution is taking place in the global energy system right now, and in the decades to come, energy systems around the world will become increasingly decentralized, digitalized, and decarbonized. Digital technologies are permeating every aspect of our lives, including how we work, live, travel, and enjoy our leisure time. Energy systems all across the world are becoming more efficient, reliable, accessible, and safe as a result of digitalization.
The world’s energy systems are undergoing transformation. One of the reasons for this process is the rising demand for clean energy and the growing impact of climate-related extreme weather. Furthermore, organizations all around the world are setting ambitious goals to reduce emissions from the use of fossil fuels, which has powered economic growth for more than a century. It is a known fact that renewable energy plants generate more electricity than is required at certain times of the day, and in the absence of wind or sunlight these plants can meet only a small percentage of demand. To counteract these fluctuations, we need intelligent, innovative solutions and networks in the new energy world, which are more adaptable and intelligent in their approach to the challenges of the energy transition.
The term ‘artificial intelligence’ (AI) refers to a collection of technologies which allow us to find proper answers to challenges for which we previously had no solutions through the usage of data. Various examples of AI technologies and applications include Siri, Alexa and other smart assistants, self-driving cars, robo-advisors, conversational bots, email spam filters and Netflix recommendations. These AI tools are used on a daily basis by the average citizen , most likely, because they increase productivity and simplify certain activities and tasks.
Among the many aspects of the energy transition, will be a rapid increase of the production, circulation and reliance on renewable energy sources as well as widespread clean electrification of heat, industries and transportation. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the share of the global energy demand met by electricity is expected to grow by 60% from 2019 to 2050 as a result of the increased adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), the declining costs of battery storage, and the transition to net-zero electricity in buildings and heavy industry. Electricity will increasingly be used to supply heating and cooling (e.g. heat pumps), transportation (e.g. electric vehicles), and even raw materials such as hydrogen(electrolyzers) in the future. Electricity will become the primary source of energy for ever more industries and applications. In fact, it will become the primary source of energy in the entire world.
How can AI help to improve Energy Systems?
AI operates with a variety of different types of data as input, which include audio, speech, photos, videos, data acquired from sensors, data collected manually or robotically, and so on. AI can be used to recognize patterns or to provide probabilistic predictions of future outcomes based on the patterns, which were identified within data collected from various sources such as electricity consumption data, electricity price data and weather data. This data, which is a collection of data points that have been gathered over a certain period of time, can be organized chronologically in a graph in order to give information to the grid when required.
Notably, picture and video data can be used to distinguish objects or circumstances in photos (e.g. satellite images can be used to determine cloud cover patterns so that predictions about the output of a solar power plant can be made). Meanwhile, equipment and “smart” devices, which integrate sensors with communications and networking capabilities, are used to provide real-time digital connectivity and the coordination of physical assets. These systems of sensing and device-level control are necessary for the intelligent coordination and automation of the energy system, which will be enabled by AI.
As industrial operating environments become more complicated and reliant on digital applications, advances in digital technology are helping to increase efficiency and security through the detection of machine-speed threats in these more complex operating environments. Grid operators can make the most of their electricity grids by adjusting their operations based on the weather conditions at any moment using AI algorithms and large volumes of weather data. Short-term forecasting is more accurate and can lead to greater unit commitment as well as increased dispatch efficiency, which improves the reliability of algorithms/certain predictions, while reducing the amount of operational reserve required.
Improving Africa’s Energy Transition through AI
With a population, which is predicted to increase by more than double of its current size by 2050, Africa is the world’s fastest expanding population. The increase in demand for energy is directly related to this growth. In fact, the African Energy Chamber (AEC) predicts that the continent’s need for electricity will continue to rise at a rate of 4-5% per year, perhaps doubling by 2050. The African continent is home to 580 million people out of the world’s 770 million people who do not have access to electricity at the current moment. However, at least 110 million of this population resides in close proximity to existing grid infrastructure.
Introducing renewables into the energy mix of African countries would mean injecting more megawatts from various renewable energy sources into the grid. The ability to estimate capacity levels will become increasingly important in order to maintain a stable and efficient grid. The reason for this is linked with the following: As renewables take a bigger part of the grid, baseload generation from sources such as coal, which provide grid inertia through the presence of heavy rotating equipment such as steam and gas turbines, is being phased out of the grid altogether. Power networks will become unstable and subject to blackouts if grid inertia is not maintained. With the use of AI software, decentralized energy sources can transmit any excess electricity which they produce to the grid and also route electricity generated to where it is required. In a similar vein, energy storage in industrial facilities, office buildings, residences, and automobiles can store excess energy while demand is low and the use of AI technology can help to deploy this excess energy when electricity generation is insufficient.
In South Africa, load shedding has always been an issue and there are predictions that due to continuous energy demand, the latter will not end anytime soon. To prevent the occurrence of load shedding, smart grids need to be utilized, which can help in predictions. AI can play a major role here, namely by enabling computers and systems to learn from their mistakes, adapting to changing inputs, and carrying out activities.
When dealing with intermittent and volatile energy sources such as solar and wind, it is more critical than ever to achieve a successful balance between consumption and generation. One of the hopes in relation to AI and its application to the energy sector is that AI will assist us in dealing with climate change, the emission-reduction consequences of technical advancements , energy imbalances and environmental impact, and other issues related to the energy industry. One of the most fundamental applications which is machine learning (also known as automatic learning, which is a key component of AI), can be used to improve the efficiency of generation systems as well as the efficiency of design technologies and the creation of energy-efficient objects.
Machine learning and AI are required in every industrial context. The energy industry is a sector which, with the application of AI, has tremendous potential for growth. To put it simply, AI gives a computer the ability to learn and make judgments in order to solve problems or optimize results in order to achieve a specific goal. There are several decisions to be made in the energy sector, which necessitate a quick response as well as the ability to process large amounts of data. AI can optimally conduct these critical judgments, which necessitate the collection and analysis of massive volumes of data in real time, while also being able to process the data as quickly and efficiently as possible.

A computer monitor is an appliance that are used for tracking computer activities and more especially, display images like graphics and text which are fed to the monitor via the link of a physical computer keyboard, a mouse or a touch screen. It’s also called an image computer. A monitor provides you with many benefits and lets you work comfortably at a high resolution. In this article I’ll explain how a computer screen functions and some of the key components of different models.
First let us define a monitor and take a look at a few of the usual forms of computer monitors. A flat panel pc monitor stands straight upright and is often tilted at an angle to supply a broad perspective. Frequently a curved screen is incorporated into the monitor, which offers a panoramic view. Some flat panel monitors have built in USB interfaces for easy connectivity. Other features include a hardware serial port that provides a printer port on the back of the screen.
The other frequent type of computer monitors is that a touch screen monitor. These generally offer a small footprint in comparison with a flat panel monitor and they’re quite popular amongst business users who are on-the-go. There are a variety of companies that manufacture touch screen monitors so it can be obtained in a variety of specifications. These monitors are generally What is a Monitor battery operated although some use AC or an AC/DC adapter.
Then you will find computer screens which have a built-in video display. This may be achieved via the use of a VGA input signal or through a digital screen port. A number of devices can be connected to a pc via VGA or DVI ports, depending on the available connection. An electronic LCD monitor may be used for lots of tasks such as viewing digital photographs and documents. LCD monitor provides great clarity and colour reproduction and is popular with multimedia professionals and home users who need a sharp, clean picture.
Some computer screens also incorporate a part to project video and audio in the monitor. Some of these include Super AMP, HDMI and DLI connectors. One of the most well-known types of external graphics card is the eXtreme outside graphics card that provides great quality images and audio for all computer screens which support the card. Some external graphics cards require an active converter once placed into a computer in order to function correctly.
Some computer monitors offer additional features like firewalls as well as various ports to connect other digital devices like headphones and microphones. Operating systems may also be set up directly on the screen when buying a new monitor. Although nearly all of them work in different ways, different models will change based upon your needs and individual preferences.

LonWorks is used in safety-critical applications worldwide in many diverse industries. In addition to many rail applications LonWorks is used to control (not just monitor) nuclear reactors in Europe, demonstrated as a proof of concept for a fully deterministic primary flight control for the US Army's Apache helicopter and as the helm to propeller control for the US Navy's USS Rushmore.
In the US LonWorks is the new standard to brake freight trains up to 3 miles long faster and more safely than traditional air brakes. For NYC Transit's latest generation subway cars LonWorks is used both for its primary and backup propulsion control. For the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District's latest subway cars, LonWorks is used to ensure friction brake systems are working properly and is also used to communicate safety critical Train Control information within trains as part of BART's next generation Communications Based Train Control System known as Advanced Automatic Train Control.
LonWorks is also used by US signal system suppliers for communications interoperability by transporting safety critical information train control information by tunneling the ATCS (Advanced Train Control System) communications protocol through LonWorks networks.
Each of these LonWorks based systems takes a different approach to ensuring system safety.
What about Determinism?
High reliability, availability, and fully deterministic behavior absolutely necessary in an aviation flight control system was accomplished by the US Army for its Apache helicopter using a special implementation of LonWorks developed originally by Control by Light (www.controlbylight.com) It is based upon a redundant fiber optic ring physical layer. Optical fiber offers many advantages over copper including high bandwidth and immunity to EMI. Since very high EMI fields typically exist on electric rail cars and also on tracks and along the wayside, Control by Light's LonWorks architecture can be especially attractive.
While standard LonWorks can be configured to provide deterministic behavior over fiber or copper it comes with a performance hit: inefficiency. Further, unlike an aircraft, it is always safe to apply the brakes on a train. So the question becomes: Do you really need determinism?
Consistent with many traditional train control
"fail safe" design philosophy, watchdog timers can be
implemented in a LonWorks based system so equipment can fail safely or
"fail stop" if a permissive signal is not received in
time. Thus, for many non-aviation requirements such as railway signal
systems, deterministic behavior is not always necessary.
How is Safety Achieved with LonWorks?
Many, many different ways.
Claude Shannon in his 1948 classic paper A Mathematical Theory of Communications showed that no serial communications system can deliver error free communications in the presence of noise. But all communications systems have some error rate that can be detected and controlled by a tradeoff between channel bandwidth and the time required to send the data through the channel.
Therefore, because there is always a non-zero error rate in any communications system it is up to the systems designer to determine what, if any, additional safety protections are necessary to ensure a safe system design when using a LonWorks network. When sending safety-critical train control data over a "foreign" communications channel it is standard practice in the signal industry to protect safety data with additional CRC or checksums before sending it through the communications channel.
For example, both General Electric (formerly Harmon Industries) and Safetran Systems offer several safety critical signal system products with interoperable LonWorks interfaces. To ensure the safe delivery of safety critical train control information both firms rely upon the ATCS (Advanced Train Control System) communications protocol to protect the safety critical train control data. The ATCS protocol has additional CRC protection to significantly reduce the likelihood of undetected errors causing an unsafe condition. This protected data is then sent as a "foreign frame" over the LonWorks network.
In the case of NYCT's latest generation of rail cars LonWorks is used for both primary and backup propulsion systems. But a separate hardwired Emergency Brake trainline is used. When this EB signal is lost the brakes are applied and the propulsion systems go into full braking overriding any propulsion command that may be in conflict.
Invensys which owns Safetran Systems and Triconex
(a maker of Triple Modular Redundant safety computers) has used LonWorks with its
non-stop safety computers to safely control nuclear reactors in Europe.
Thus, there are many different ways in which companies have used LonWorks in safety critical systems.
What about IEC 61508 Safety Integrity Levels?
In Europe and many parts of the world IEC 61508 is gaining popularity in defining safety requirements for safety systems including railway signaling. IEC 61508 describes a risk based approach/method of how to demonstrate the effects of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety related functions and systems.
This standard states requirements to document the design i.e. components used in the safety function, the reliability of the components, the component performance and maintenance. The standard applies 4 reliability levels, Safety Integrity Levels – SIL. SIL 4 is the most reliable (the safety function will not fail more than 1 out of 10,000 demands in one year). Thus SIL 4 is roughly equivalent to 1EXP9 hours in terms of a MTBH (Mean Time Between Hazards and probably the level appropriate for most safety critical train control functions.
IEC 61508 is generally not used in the US by signal and train control companies. In the US we generally prefer to design signal designs are based upon failsafe design principles and without "numerical bounds" for safety.
However, many US signal firms claim to offer
safety comparable to those in other transportation industries such as
aviation which are in the range of 1EXP9 hours for a MTBH. One of the
challenges in the signal industry today is to define a "safety
baseline" for existing signal systems that use relay technology.
Once this is done, newer systems based upon computer technology can be


A couple of friends of mine have recently been playing with CurrentCost monitor, which is a nifty little home energy usage device. It has an induction loop that you clip onto one of the wires coming out of your electricity meter and that wirelessly transmits electricity usage to the display, which looks like this:
The display shows you how much electricity your house is currently using, how much that is costing you (you can change the electricity cost depending on what your supplier charges you), and cleverly if you turn something on or off it will tell you how much your consumption has gone up or down, so you can see exactly how much power that device was using.
I got mine from the eco gadget shop although they are available direct from CurrentCost’s own ebay shop for more money. The eco gadget shop seems to be part of Scottish and Southern Energy so I guess they are subsidising the cost of these things a bit. One thing to be aware of though is delivery can take some time. They took my credit card payment when I ordered, but the device took almost 3 weeks to arrive as they were out of stock, and was sent standard 2nd class post!
But the best bit about these devices is that they have a port on them that allows them to be connected to a PC via a cable that can be purchased from the CurrentCost ebay shop, and collect the data it spits out every few seconds. There have been various IBM people writing little applications to plot this data onto graphs, and also one of the friends who originally pointed me in the direction of the CurrentCost device has been creating a great little bit of software:
As you can see it plots both electicity usage (green bars) and temperature (pink line).
In order to connect the device to a USB port on my PC I had to download a USB to Serial port driver. The Windows XP one can be downloaded from the Prolific website and I found a Vista version from here, although having read a bit more I think Vista might have found a driver for it automatically when I plugged the device in. Unfortunately either this driver or the CurrentCost software I’m trying doesn’t like Vista, which keeps BSODing so I’ve temporarily enlisted the use of an old Dell laptop that has got Windows XP on it
I can see this energy usage worry gauge coming in very handy when trying to reduce the amount of electricity we use. And it’s also perfectly geeky for me to play with.
This is the current LIVE power usage and temperature in my house:


The front camera is smaller than one on the regular S20 and comes with a hole-punch display that makes it look similar to the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Note 20 series, the back uses plastic (polycarbonate) instead of glass, with curved sides to make it solid & it’s a bit thicker and heavier than the regular Galaxy S20.
It also feature a 6.5-inch FHD+ Infinity-O display with thin bezels and what Samsung apparently calls a “super small” punch hole. The screen has a 120Hz refresh rate, and that’s more than what you get on the vanilla Samsung Galaxy Note 20
It comes in 6GB RAM + 128 ROM GB internal storage that is expandable via microSD card (up to 1TB)
Available at any of Pointek stores nationwide.
The phone offers a range of color options, it comes in Cloud Red, Cloud Lavender, Cloud Mint, Cloud Navy, and Cloud White.

I’ve never really paid much attention to the entire automate your home hype or why some refrigerators now need to run Windows.
Therefore my experience with Raspberry Pi, Arduino and the likes was summed up pretty quickly: I had none. In that regard I am kind of a retro guy it seems: I like not having to run updates on my fridge and I do enjoy the sensation of switching on lights manually.
Although, to be honest we do have thermostats that trigger heating on a intra-day cycle, even though not configured centrally. Even though I consider myself kind of tech savvy I didn’t really bother to check out the IoT world for two reasons:
- time (d’oh)
The latter may have changed. As my man cave is located in the attic, temperature and humidity are something to keep an eye on, especially with the amount of sensitive audio equipment I own. While reading up on commercial monitoring solutions like NetAtmo offers, I stumbled across hundreds of self-built solutions using IoT boards. With the price tag of NetAtmo, the decision to build something myself and learn from it was an easy one.
What I wanted out of the solution was rather simple:
- read temperature and humidity
- store the values in a central database (possibly somewhere in the cloud)
- have access to the data via a simple interface (e.g. REST) – to be able to display it via a simple page/app
- The board needs to transmit data via WiFi
- either battery powered or via USB
- has to be cheaper than a NetAtmo 🙂
- Option to add a CO2 sensor in phase 2
Deciding on a board
There were a couple of options:
- A classic Arduino – usually doesn’t have WiFi out of the box, but can be added via a ESP8266 board. Having zero experience with Arduino and not having touched a soldering iron in over a decade, I wasn’t keen on it right away.
- NodeMCU – already has WiFi but as a total beginner I found the information online not as thorough and beginner friendly as for Arduino
- Ledunia – which has very little documentation online but a rich feature-set
To be fair, I would have not stumbled upon Ledunia if I wouldn’t have been a subscriber of Paessler. In my former job, we used the IT monitoring system PRTG from Paessler. Having written a few custom sensors for PRTG (reading data from a broadcast automation system via API and sending it to PRTG) I found the software to be very intuitive while still offering a great feature set. The support I received from the company, even as a non-paying customer was spot on. With that in mind,
Coincidentally, Paessler released their own take on IoT in the same period when I was doing my research for this little project. And with my previous experience of the company I was intruiged by their first IoT product.
Ledunia is IoT board with ESP8266, lots of memory, some NeoPixel LEDs and is also compatible with Arduino IDE. Here is the full feature set.
At the time I was ready to start, Ledunia was promoted by Paessler and they were giving out free boards as long you pitched your idea.
So I did that and a couple of days later I received the boards via mail:
Next up was making a more detailed plan on how to proceed.

A paper describing the use of LegUp HLS to synthesize hardware cores for floating-point computations from C-language software will appear in the 2018 ACM/IEEE Design Automation and Test in Europe (DATE) conference, to be held at Dresden, Germany, in March 2018. The floating-point cores are fully IEEE 754 compliant, yet through software changes alone, can be tailored to application needs, for example, by reducing precision or eliminating exception checking, saving area and raising performance in non-compliant variants. The IEEE-compliant cores synthesized by LegUp HLS compare favourably to custom RTL cores from FloPoCo and Altera/Intel, despite the LegUp-generated cores being synthesized entirely from software. An advance copy of the paper, jointly authored by the University of Toronto and Altera/Intel, is available: PDF.

All about Ethernet Cables
For more than 30 years, only the computer network has required an Ethernet cable to connect multiple computers to a single server. In the last 15 years, wireless networks have emerged to support mobile and other electronic devices. All wireless networks require an Ethernet cable to connect the antenna to the network server or network router. At the same time, businesses that require a telephone switch have been utilizing IP (internet protocol) technology to operate on the same Ethernet cable that traditional computers use.
Traditional commercial building systems, including security cameras, access controls, and audiovisual systems, are converting to IP devices that will allow their operations to become automated and controlled remotely. This automation allows building owners to become more energy efficient.
Each IP device requires an Ethernet cable or wireless network connection to communicate. The companies that install these traditional building systems are not qualified or do not have the skilled labor to install Ethernet cabling or wireless network. NCC views this as an opportunity to work with these companies and install the required Ethernet cable and Wi-Fi connections for their projects.
Contact us to discuss your next project, as well as how to complete Ethernet structure cabling can increase your efficiency.
