| » 2024, a Year of Celebrations [From the Editor] |
Abstract:
The year 2024 is a year of celebrations for the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) and IEEE. This year marks the 75th anniversary of VTS, which was initially formed as the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) Professional Group on Vehicular Communications (PGVC) in 1949 [1] before IRE and the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE) merged in 1963 to create IEEE as we know it today. The group was then renamed IEEE Vehicular Communications Group before becoming VTS in 1978 to reflect on the expansion of the fields of interest to electronics and transportation [1]. The year 2024 is also the year that will mark the 100th edition of our flagship IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC), with the VTC 2024-Fall edition in Washington, DC, USA. VTC traces back its origin to the first conference in 1950 of PGVC in Detroit (with only eight technical presentations [1]). Since then, VTC has grown to become an internationally recognized technical conference, with two conferences per year from 2000 to reflect on the growing international community. Our 75th and 100th anniversaries are significant milestones that highlight the importance and impact of VTS. VTC 2024-Fall will be a great opportunity for all of us to meet and celebrate the achievements of VTS and VTC and their impact in supporting the IEEE mission to foster technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity. For those of you interested to learn more about VTS and the development of vehicular communications, I recommend reading the article “Vehicle Communications Before 1950” that was published in the inaugural issue of IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine (VTM) in March 2006 [1] by Charles Backof, the founding editor in chief of VTM. |

| » EpiCURB: Learning to Derive Epidemic Control Policies |
Abstract:
The effectiveness of an epidemic control policy relies largely on how much effort is invested in every public health measure. Unfortunately, it is seldom possible to optimally allocate funds to these measures if the isolated effect of each intervention cannot be reliably estimated. We show how this challenge can be overcome by utilizing EpiCURB, a simulation-control framework that enables us to measure the effect of both untargeted and prioritized interventions on the epidemic outcome, where the latter are guided by reinforcement learning routines that effectively rank eligible individuals. |

Abstract:
The promise of engineering and computing education is to prepare and fully equip students to solve societal problems that are complex, open-ended, and/or poorly defined [1]. So far, engineering and computing educators have made notable progress toward fulfilling this promise. However, established practices are constantly tested by new challenges like those caused by the coronavirus pandemic and breakthroughs in generative artificial intelligence. For engineering and computing education to achieve its full potential and deliver its promise, these new challenges have to be elicited, analyzed, and addressed. |

Abstract:
Computing technology is advancing at an unprecedented speed, reshaping both our daily lives and the global landscape. In this article, we delve into the profound impact of immersive technology on society, focusing on how it can represent and interact with users. Starting from the current virtual reality (VR) technology, we envision that VR will integrate with artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics technologies, and eventually achieve a personal clone of individual users that can perform most of the tasks on behalf of users. By roughly dividing the progression of immersive technologies into three phases, we discuss their prospective applications while emphasizing the potential research challenges to be addressed. |

| » Integrating Generative Artificial Intelligence to a Project-Based Tangible Interaction Course |
Abstract:
Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), including large language and image models, have created new opportunities for pervasive computing education. How do we integrate emerging AI models and tools into our courses in a way that fosters critical engagement? How do we teach students to use AI models and tools responsibly, thoughtfully, and ethically, while being aware of their capabilities and limitations? In this article, we share insights from integrating generative AI tools and machine learning (ML) models into a project-based undergraduate tangible and embodied interaction (TEI) course by employing co-creation processes. TEI is an evolving area within human–computer interaction, which focuses on integrating computation into our daily physical environments and objects, thus fostering an embodied, multisensory, and often collaborative interaction experience. We use the term co-creation to describe a process, where humans and AI work together to create new artifacts or solve a problem. We integrated structured co-creation activities into various phases of the project including ideation, conceptual design, and prototyping. We describe practical ways and learning goals for integrating emerging generative AI tools and ML models into the project design process, provide insight on how novice interaction designers iterate and collaborate with generative AI and ML models, and reflect on the merits and limitations of using generative AI tools and ML models for project-based interaction design courses for pervasive computing. |

| » Same, Same, but Different—Don’t Mix Up Local Connectivity With Internet Access [Connected and Automated Vehicles] |
Abstract:
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is spending millions of dollars to install new warning system technology on highways across the state. The warning system is designed to notice slow or stopped traffic and trigger a roadside message board to visually warn drivers of upcoming slow traffic. Thirteen highway sites will have the warning systems installed, and the estimated cost for each warning system ranges from US${\$}$300,000 to US${\$}$600,000 per site, depending on factors such as running utilities. This means ODOT will spend between US${\$}$3.9 million and US${\$}$7.8 million to pay for the new technology. It will take two years for ODOT to complete installation at all 13 sites. |

Abstract:
The 6G networks are anticipated to be instrumental in powering a wide array of upcoming applications, including smart cities and homes, interconnected vehicles, intelligent factories, and the industrial Internet of Things (IoT). These applications need advanced wireless connectivity and robust, precise sensing abilities. A consistent aspect of future 6G plans is the increased importance of sensing, set to play an unprecedented role. By incorporating sensing capabilities, 6G networks will expand beyond traditional communication boundaries, offering pervasive sensing services to analyze and potentially map out the environments they operate in. This capability to collect environmental sensory data is seen as essential for nurturing intelligence in the upcoming era of smart environments. This necessitates a concurrent focus on developing communication and sensing technologies within 6G networks, which has prompted recent explorations in integrated sensing and communications (ISAC). |
