Semantics in Actuation Systems: From Age of Actuation to Age of Actuated Information

Ali Nikkhah, Anthony Ephremides, Nikolaos Pappas

In this paper, we study the timeliness of actions in communication systems where actuation is constrained by control permissions or energy availability. Building on the Age of Actu…

Real-Time Remote Monitoring of Correlated Markovian Sources

Mehrdad Salimnejad, Marios Kountouris, Nikolaos Pappas

We investigate real-time tracking of two correlated stochastic processes over a shared wireless channel. The joint evolution of the processes is modeled as a two-dimensional discre…

Pull-Based Query Scheduling for Goal-Oriented Semantic Communication

Pouya Agheli, Nikolaos Pappas, Marios Kountouris

This paper addresses query scheduling for goal-oriented semantic communication in pull-based status update systems. We consider a system where multiple sensing agents (SAs) observe…

So Timely, Yet So Stale: The Impact of Clock Drift in Real-Time Systems

Mehrdad Salimnejad, Nikolaos Pappas, Marios Kountouris

In this paper, we address the problem of timely delivery of status update packets in a real-time communication system, where a transmitter sends status updates generated by a sourc…
