TL;DR: The fundamental differences with other technologies, the most important open research issues to tackle, and the reasons why the use of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces necessitates to rethink the communication-theoretic models currently employed in wireless networks are elaborated.
Abstract: The future of mobile communications looks exciting with the potential new use cases and challenging requirements of future 6th generation (6G) and beyond wireless networks. Since the beginning of the modern era of wireless communications, the propagation medium has been perceived as a randomly behaving entity between the transmitter and the receiver, which degrades the quality of the received signal due to the uncontrollable interactions of the transmitted radio waves with the surrounding objects. The recent advent of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces in wireless communications enables, on the other hand, network operators to control the scattering, reflection, and refraction characteristics of the radio waves, by overcoming the negative effects of natural wireless propagation. Recent results have revealed that reconfigurable intelligent surfaces can effectively control the wavefront, e.g., the phase, amplitude, frequency, and even polarization, of the impinging signals without the need of complex decoding, encoding, and radio frequency processing operations. Motivated by the potential of this emerging technology, the present article is aimed to provide the readers with a detailed overview and historical perspective on state-of-the-art solutions, and to elaborate on the fundamental differences with other technologies, the most important open research issues to tackle, and the reasons why the use of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces necessitates to rethink the communication-theoretic models currently employed in wireless networks. This article also explores theoretical performance limits of reconfigurable intelligent surface-assisted communication systems using mathematical techniques and elaborates on the potential use cases of intelligent surfaces in 6G and beyond wireless networks.

TL;DR: A spatial iterative algorithm for electromagnetic imaging based on a Newton-Kantorovich procedure for the reconstruction of the complex permittivity of inhomogeneous lossy dielectric objects with arbitrary shape was proposed in this paper.
Abstract: The authors propose a spatial iterative algorithm for electromagnetic imaging based on a Newton-Kantorovich procedure for the reconstruction of the complex permittivity of inhomogeneous lossy dielectric objects with arbitrary shape. Starting from integral representation of the electric field and using the moment method, this technique has been developed for 2-D (for TM and TE polarization cases) objects as well as for 3-D objects. Its performance has been compared with spectral techniques of classical diffraction tomography, the modified Newton method, and the pseudo-inverse method. >

TL;DR: A model which integrates botanical knowledge of the architecture of the trees: how they grow, how they occupy space, where and how leaves, flowers or fruits are located, etc is presented.
Abstract: Some very impressive results have been obtained in the past few years in plants and trees image synthesis. Some algorithms are largely based on the irregularity and fuzziness of the objects, and use fractals, graftals or particle systems. Others focus on the branching pattern of the trees with emphasis on morphology. Our concern here is the faithfulness of the models to the botanical nature of trees and plants. We present a model which integrates botanical knowledge of the architecture of the trees: how they grow, how they occupy space, where and how leaves, flowers or fruits are located, etc. The very first interest of the model we propose is its great richness: the same procedural methods can produce "plants" as different as weeping willows, fir trees, cedar trees, frangipani trees, poplars, pine trees, wild cherry trees, herbs, etc. Another very important benefit one can derive from the model is the integration of time which enables viewing the aging of a tree (possibility to get different pictures of the same tree at different ages, accurate simulation of the death of leaves and branches for example). The ease to integrate physical parameters such as wind, the incidence of factors such as insects attacks, use of fertilizers, plantation density, and so on makes it a useful tool for agronomy or botany.

23 Jun 2009TL;DR: Aron is a freely available library dedicated to the static analysis of the numerical variables of programs by abstract interpretation, and its goal is to provide analysis implementers with ready-to-use numerical abstractions under a unified API.
Abstract: This article describes Apron , a freely available library dedicated to the static analysis of the numerical variables of programs by abstract interpretation. Its goal is threefold: provide analysis implementers with ready-to-use numerical abstractions under a unified API, encourage the research in numerical abstract domains by providing a platform for integration and comparison, and provide teaching and demonstration tools to disseminate knowledge on abstract interpretation.
