Using Virtual Choreographies to Identify Office Users’ Behaviors
Reducing office buildings’ energy consumption can contribute significantly towards carbon reduction commitments since it represents 40% of total energy consumption. Major components of this are lighting, electrical equipment, heating, and central cooling systems. Solid evidence demonstrates that individual occupants’ behaviors impact these energy consumption components.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for Mosquito-Borne Viral Diseases
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology has developed in recent years; its applications avoid many of the limitations associated with satellite data, such as long repetition times, cloud contamination, low spatial resolution, and lack of homogeneity in camera angle or shooting time.

Unique Properties of the Immune System
The human body is unquestionably one of the most complex systems known to humanity. There are three main regulation systems in the human body (the nervous system, the endocrine system and the immune system). These three systems are integrated into one ultimate information communication network within the human body. However, each regulation system has its specific roles and unique properties. Consequently, each of these regulation systems has served as inspiration for computational models to efficiently solve real-world problems. An overview of these models and their applications is presented.

Underwater Communication Protocols
Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) have recently established themselves as an extremely interesting area of research thanks to the mysterious qualities of the ocean. The UWSN consists of sensor nodes and vehicles working to collect data and complete tasks. The battery capacity of sensor nodes is quite limited, which means that the UWSN network needs to be as efficient as it can possibly be. It is difficult to connect with or update a communication that is taking place underwater due to the high latency in propagation, the dynamic nature of the network, and the likelihood of introducing errors. This makes it difficult to communicate with or update a communication.

Underwater 5G-Based Networks
The term “Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT)” refers to a network of intelligent interconnected underwater devices designed to monitor various underwater activities. The IoUT allows for a network of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to communicate with each other, sense their surroundings, collect data, and transmit them to control centers on the surface at typical Internet speeds. These data serve as a valuable resource for various tasks, including conducting crash surveys, discovering shipwrecks, detecting early signs of tsunamis, monitoring animal health, obtaining real-time aquatic information, and conducting archaeological expeditions.

Traffic Load Distribution Fairness in Mobile Social Networks
Mobile social networks suffer from an unbalanced traffic load distribution due to the heterogeneity in mobility of nodes (humans) in the network. A few nodes in these networks are highly mobile, and the proposed social-based routing algorithms are likely to choose these most “social” nodes as the best message relays.

Traffic Flow Prediction Based on MLR-LSTM Neural Network
A prediction method based on the combination of multiple linear regression and Long-Short-Term Memory (MLR-LSTM) is proposed, which uses the incomplete traffic flow data in the past period of time of the target prediction section and the continuous and complete traffic flow data in the past period of time of each adjacent section to jointly predict the traffic flow changes of the target section in a short time.

Tracking Technology in Augmented Reality
Augmented reality (AR) is one of the leading expanding immersive experiences of the 21st century. AR has brought a revolution in different realms including health and medicine, teaching and learning, tourism, designing, manufacturing, and other similar industries whose acceptance accelerated the growth of AR in an unprecedented manner. The tracking technologies are the building blocks of AR and establish a point of reference for movement and for creating an environment where the virtual and real objects are presented together. To achieve a real experience with augmented objects, several tracking technologies are presented.

Towards Enabling Haptic Communications over 6G
The developments in communication networks enable many applications including high quality audio/video sharing. Mobile communication has become an essential component of present-day life. It plays an important role in the economy, health, education, and many other industries. Most of the population is connected through mobile communication networks globally. After successfully connecting billions of smartphones and laptops through mobile internet, the focus of mobile internet has now been diverted towards the ubiquitous connectivity of multiple devices and machines, hence creating the Internet of Things (IoT). This transition has led mankind towards remote communication between a human being and some kind of physical device. Such data-intensive communications can result in mediums where the human beings can interact with each other remotely by touch (haptic communication) or actuation.
