Introduction to satellite communication
Satellite communication allows people to communicate across long distances. Arthur C. Clarke first proposed the idea of communication satellites in 1945. The first satellite launched was Sputnik 1 by Russia in 1957, though it did not have communication capabilities. Commercial satellite communication began with the launch of Early Bird in 1965. Satellites can be in low, medium or geostationary orbits and operate in different frequency bands like C-band and Ku-band. They provide advantages like global coverage and reliability over terrestrial networks.
Satellite orbit and constellation design

Satellite
This document provides an overview of satellite communications, including the basics of how satellites work, different types of satellite orbits, and capacity allocation methods. Satellites act as relay stations, receiving uplinks from earth stations and transmitting downlinks. The main types of orbits described are GEO, LEO, and MEO. GEO satellites remain stationary over one point on the equator, providing wide coverage but also greater delays. LEO and MEO satellites are closer but require networks to provide full coverage. Capacity is allocated using FDMA, which divides frequencies into channels, or TDMA, which divides time into slots.
Satellites in Communication
The document discusses different types of satellite orbits and their characteristics. A geostationary orbit (GEO) has satellites 35,786 km above the equator that rotate with the Earth's rotation, allowing them to remain stationary over one position. Low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites are 500-1500 km high and pass over positions every 15-20 minutes, requiring networks to provide coverage. Medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites are between 8000-18000 km high and provide longer visibility than LEOs.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.What is an RPA CoE? Session 1 – CoE Vision
