Taking inspiration from linguistics, the communications theoretical community has recently
shown a significant recent interest in pragmatic, or goal-oriented, communication. In this …

The emerging digital twin technique enhances the network management efficiency and
provides comprehensive insights on network performance, through mapping physical …

We study a pull-based status update communication model where a source node submits
update packets to a channel with random transmission delay, at times requested by a …

The present paper focuses on an IoT setting in which a large number of devices generate
time-stamped updates addressed to a common gateway. Medium access is regulated …

We study a pull-based communication system where a sensing agent updates an actuation
agent using a query control policy, which is adjusted in the evolution of an observed …

This paper considers a source-monitor pair in which the source sends stochastically
generated update packets through a network that is modeled as a queue. The goal of the …

In this paper, we introduce a new metric, named Penalty upon Decision (PuD), for
measuring the impact of communication delays and state changes at the source on a remote …

This paper studies decision-making for goal-oriented effective communication. We consider
an end-to-end status update system where a sensing agent (SA) observes a source …

In real-time monitoring and networked control systems, sensor observations from vehicles,
robots, UAVs, or stock markets, are transmitted to a monitoring or controlling unit, which …

Age of information (AoI) is now well established as a metric that measures the freshness of
information delivered to a receiver from a source that generates status updates. Meanwhile …
