A California school district is testing iris scanning devices on three buses this fall. The system aims to ensure that no students are accidently left behind on the bus. The transportation agency was already planning the pilot program in order to keep track of students on buses. Then concern about bus riders became heightened in September, when a special needs student died of unknown causes after being accidentally left on a school bus.

The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is now accepting entries to the...

The U.S. Department of Energy is moving to a “smart grid” model This new energy system will use digital technology to communicate and transfer energy in a more thoughtful way. The downside is that opening additional access points make the grid vulnerable to both accidental and malicious power failure. It’s possible for hackers to send false information to mislead grid operators, influencing the decisions they make about how to manage the network of electricity. One approach for securing the grid from potential cyberattacks uses game and control theory.
