The document summarizes two papers presented at the International Conference on Systems, Science, Control, Communication, Engineering and Technology 2017. The first paper proposes an adaptive 3D discrete cosine transform algorithm that selects optimal cube sizes for video compression based on the motion content of video sequences. The second paper develops an adaptive beamforming algorithm for wireless communications using windowing techniques to study main beam width and sidelobe suppression. Both papers were presented at the conference and published in its proceedings.
