Computer simulations of physical systems are common in science, engineering, and entertainment, but they use several different types of tools. If, say, you want to explore how a crack forms in an airplane wing, you need a very precise physical model of the crack’s immediate vicinity. But if you want to simulate the flexion of an airplane wing under different flight conditions, it’s more practical to use a simpler, higher-level de...

  Genome-wide association studies, which try to find correlations between particular genetic variations and disease diagnoses, are a staple of modern medical research. But because they depend on databases that contain people’s medical histories, they carry privacy risks.

CompactRadar Sensors based on highly innovative RFCMOS radar system chips from NXP Semiconductors, have been announced by HELLA, setting a benchmark in 77GHz technology. Highly robust, weatherproof radar-based systems are gaining traction as a key way to implement a wide range of safety and comfort functionalities in cars. 

Jaguar Land Rover’s multi-million pound Autonomous all-terrain driving research project envisages a self-driving car that can navigate both on-road and off-road as well as in difficult weather conditions. The project has used Cohda Wireless MK5 On-Board Units and software stacks and applications to deploy its V2X (vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure) systems.

The startup LuxAI was created following a project at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust of the University of Luxembourg, funded by the Luxembourg National Research Fund under its Proof of Concept scheme. The business model of LuxAI is developing and constructing so-called social robots. Such robots can be used, for example, in the educational or health system, where they would support trainers and therapists in their...

The provider of innovative software solutions for embedded software quality, Vector Software has announced that TTTech Computertechnik AG (TTTech) has selected the VectorCAST software test automation platform for use within TTTech’s development of Audi's Advanced Driver Assistance System Platform, named 'zFAS'.

Ants, it turns out, are extremely good at estimating the concentration of other ants in their vicinity. This ability appears to play a role in several communal activities, particularly in the voting procedure whereby an ant colony selects a new nest. Biologists have long suspected that ants base their population-density estimates on the frequency with which they — literally — bump into other ants while randomly exploring their environ...

  Anonymity networks protect people living under repressive regimes from surveillance of their Internet use. But the recent discovery of vulnerabilities in the most popular of these networks - Tor - has prompted computer scientists to try to come up with more secure anonymity schemes.

Bryce Johnstone, Senior Automotive Segment Marketing Manager, Imagination Technologies, explains the importance of providing clearly understandable information as cars become increasingly complex.

The industry’s first software framework for embedded systems to automatically support networks generated by TensorFlow has been introduced by CEVA. The CDNN2 (CEVA Deep Neural Network), is a 2nd gen neural network software framework for machine learning.
