Zhao, Z. (author), Huang, J. (author), Chen, Lydia Y. (author), Roos, S. (author)Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are increasingly adopted by the industry to synthesize realistic images using competing generator and discriminator neural networks. Due to data not being centrally available, Multi-Discriminator (MD)-GANs training frameworks employ multiple discriminators that have direct access to the real data....conference paper 2024

Shen, Y.S. (author), Ersoy, O. (author), Roos, S. (author)Payment channel networks (PCNs) are a promising solution to the blockchain scalability problem. In PCNs, a sender can route a multi-hop payment to a receiver via intermediaries. Yet, Lightning, the only prominent payment channel network, has two major issues when it comes to multi-hop payments. First, the sender decides on the path without...conference paper 2024

Ersoy, O. (author), Moreno-Sanchez, Pedro (author), Roos, S. (author)The Lightning Network provides almost-instant payments to its parties. In addition to direct payments requiring a shared payment channel, parties can pay each other in the form of multi-hop payments via existing channels. Such multi-hop payments rely on a 2-phase commit protocol to achieve balance security; that is, no honest intermediary...conference paper 2024

Roos, Matthijs (author)To better understand the formation of stars in dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs), and the evolution of this type of submillimeter galaxies (SMGs), it is of high significance to perform submillimeter/far-infrared surveys. The Deep Spectroscopic High-redshift Mapper 2.0 (DESHIMA2.0) on the ASTE telescope in Chile has been designed to observe the...bachelor thesis 2023

du Plessis, Nicolaas (author), Roos, Martijn (author)This thesis aims to solve the problem of designing the hardware for a wireless charging system to be used for keeping an autonomous robot swarm alive. Previous designs available to us lacked essential safety features and were very specific in their application. Current wireless charging specifications are also not sufficient to cater to the...bachelor thesis 2023

Coesoij, R.A. (author), Musters, F.A. (author), Roos, D. (author), van Velden, T. (author), Spirito, M. (author)In this work we present calibration approaches aimed at mitigating the measurement error in testbenches featuring multiple sensor-nodes and operating over-the-air. Such errors can arise from fluctuations in component responses and mechanical tolerances of the setup. The calibration approaches are detailed for the case of the Antenna Dome...conference paper 2023

Huang, J. (author), Zhao, Z. (author), Chen, Lydia Y. (author), Roos, S. (author)Attacks on Federated Learning (FL) can severely reduce the quality of the generated models and limit the usefulness of this emerging learning paradigm that enables on-premise decentralized learning. However, existing untargeted attacks are not practical for many scenarios as they assume that i) the attacker knows every update of benign...conference paper 2023

de Vos, M.A. (author), Ishmaev, G. (author), Pouwelse, J.A. (author), Roos, S. (author)Catalyzed by the popularity of blockchain technology, there has recently been a renewed interest in the design, implementation and evaluation of decentralized systems. Most of these systems are intended to be deployed at scale and in heterogeneous environments with real users and unpredictable workloads. Nevertheless, most research in this field...conference paper 2023

Thai, Sovanna (author), Theodoulis, S.T. (author), Roos, Clément (author), Biannic, Jean Marc (author)This article deals with the control design of a dual-spin projectile concept, characterized by highly nonlinear parameter-dependent and coupled dynamics, and subject to uncertainties and actuator saturations. An open-loop nonlinear model stemming from flight mechanics is first developed. It is subsequently linearized and decomposed into a...journal article 2023

Huang, J. (author), Hong, C. (author), Liu, Yang (author), Chen, Lydia Y. (author), Roos, S. (author)Federated learning (FL) enables collaborative learning between parties, called clients, without sharing the original and potentially sensitive data. To ensure fast convergence in the presence of such heterogeneous clients, it is imperative to timely select clients who can effectively contribute to learning. A realistic but overlooked case of...conference paper 2023

Roos, Michiel (author)There is an ongoing trend of urbanisation, and cities are becoming more and more crowded. In 2014, 46\% of the population of the OECD countries lived in urban areas. Whereas the growth of cities was previously mainly an expansion, the growing population is now increasingly leading to densification. Since 2007, more than half of the constructed...master thesis 2022

Sharaf, A.M.S.E. (author), Roos, B. (author), Timmerman, Raissa (author), Kremers, Gert-Jan (author), Bajramovic, Jeffrey John (author), Accardo, A. (author)Microglia are the resident macrophages of the central nervous system and contribute to maintaining brain’s homeostasis. Current 2D “petri-dish” in vitro cell culturing platforms employed for microglia, are unrepresentative of the softness or topography of native brain tissue. This often contributes to changes in microglial morphology, exhibiting...journal article 2022

Byrenheid, Martin (author), Roos, S. (author), Strufe, Thorsten (author)Due to its high efficiency, routing based on greedy embeddings of rooted spanning trees is a promising approach for dynamic, large-scale networks with restricted topologies. Friend-to-friend (F2F) overlays, one key application of embedding-based routing, aim to prevent disclosure of their participants to malicious members by restricting...conference paper 2022

Wei, Zhang (author), Roos, C. (author)We introduce a new variant of Chubanov's method for solving linear homogeneous systems with positive variables. In the Basic Procedure we use a recently introduced cut in combination with Nemirovski's Mirror-Prox method. We show that the cut requires at most (Formula presented.) time, just as Chubanov's cut. In an earlier paper it was shown...journal article 2022

Roos, Daan (author), van Velden, Tycho (author)In the ADome project, a truncated icosahedron is used as a frame for multiple antenna nodes. These nodes are used to measure the radiation pattern of an antenna-under-test located in the center of this dome. Since these antennas can be placed anywhere in the ADome by the user, a calibration system is necessary to find the spherical coordinates...bachelor thesis 2021

Prabhu Kumble, S. (author), Epema, D.H.J. (author), Roos, S. (author)Lightning, the prevailing solution to Bitcoin's scalability issue, uses onion routing to hide senders and recipients of payments. Yet, the path between the sender and the recipient along which payments are routed is selected such that it is short, cost efficient, and fast. The low degree of randomness in the path selection entails that...conference paper 2021

Byrenheid, Martin (author), Roos, S. (author), Strufe, Thorsten (author)Routing based on greedy network embeddings enables efficient and privacypreserving routing in overlays where connectivity is restricted to mutually trusted nodes. In previous works, we proposed security enhancements to the embedding and routing procedures to protect against denial-of-service attacks by malicious overlay participants. In this...journal article 2021

Bai, Y. (author), Roos, C. (author)We consider nine elementary problems in optimization. We simply explore the conditions for optimality as known from the duality theory for convex optimization. This yields a quite straightforward solution method for each of these problems. The main contribution of this paper is that we show that even in the harder cases the solution needs...conference paper 2021
