Abstract
Low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations are rapidly becoming essential enablers of next-generation wireless systems, offering global broadband access, high-precision localization, and reliable sensing beyond terrestrial coverage. However, the inherent limitations of individual LEO satellites, including restricted power, limited antenna aperture, and constrained onboard processing, hinder their ability to meet the growing demands of 6G applications. To address these challenges, this article introduces the concept of distributed integrated sensing, localization, and communication (DISLAC) over LEO constellations, inspired by distributed multiple input multiple output architectures. By enabling inter-satellite cooperation through inter-satellite links, DISLAC can substantially improve throughput, positioning accuracy, and sensing robustness. We present illustrative case studies that quantify these benefits and analyze key system-level considerations, including synchronization, antenna reconfigurability, and ISL design. The article concludes by outlining open research directions to advance the practical deployment of DISLAC in future non-terrestrial networks.
Abstract
Earth observation (EO) satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) are collecting vast amounts of data, which are invaluable for applications such as monitoring forest fires. However, data downloading from EO satellites faces significant challenges due to the limited number of ground stations and the brief communication windows with them. Conversely, emerging LEO constellations like Starlink have enabled continuous connectivity and revolutionized access for ordinary users globally, who can connect via a simple satellite dish. In this paper, we study the feasibility of supporting EO satellites with Starlink satellite infrastructure and introduce a novel data delivery system, designated as "Starlink Space User" (SSU), for relaying data from observation satellites. SSU treats EO satellites as space users of Starlink, facilitating efficient data transfer to Earth. At the core of SSU is a novel class of algorithms designed for link and PoP selection, as well as system scheduling optimization, that operate effectively atop Starlink's proprietary infrastructure. We assess the performance of SSU using trace-driven simulations alongside real-world Starlink performance measurements. Our results demonstrate that the proposed Starlink-aided design can significantly reduce the median backlog (data not delivered) per satellite.

Abstract
Remote management devices facilitate critical infrastructure monitoring for administrators but simultaneously increase asset exposure. Sensitive geographical information overlooked in exposed device management pages poses substantial security risks. Therefore, identifying devices that reveal location information due to administrator negligence is crucial for cybersecurity regulation. Despite the rich information exposed by web interfaces of remote management devices, automatically discovering geographical locations remains challenging due to unstructured formats, varying styles, and incomplete geographical details. This study introduces WebGeoInfer, a structure-free geolocation inference framework utilizing multi-stage information enhancement. WebGeoInfer clusters similar device web pages and analyzes inter-cluster differences to extract potential geographical information, bypassing structural limitations. Through search engine enhancement and Large Language Models mining, the framework extracts geographical coordinates from identified information. WebGeoInfer successfully inferred locations for 5,435 devices across 94 countries and 2,056 cities, achieving accuracy rates of 96.96\%, 88.05\%, and 79.70\% at country, city, and street levels, respectively.
Abstract
In a fascinating recent American Mathematical Monthly article, Norman Wildberger and Dean Rubine introduced a new kind of combinatorial numbers, that they aptly named the ``Geode numbers''. While their definition is simple, these numbers are surprisingly hard to compute, in general. While the two-dimensional case has a nice closed-form expression, that make them easy to compute, already the three-dimensional case poses major computational challenges that we do meet, combining experimental mathematics and the holonomic ansatz. Alas, things get really complicated in four and higher dimensions, and we are unable to efficiently compute, for example, the $1000$-th term of the four-dimensional diagonal Geode sequence. A donation of $100$ US dollars to the OEIS, in honor of the first person to compute this number, is offered.

Abstract
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enhances language models by combining retrieval with generation. However, its current workflow remains largely text-centric, limiting its applicability in geoscience. Many geoscientific tasks are inherently evidence-hungry. Typical examples involve imputing missing observations using analog scenes, retrieving equations and parameters to calibrate models, geolocating field photos based on visual cues, or surfacing historical case studies to support policy analyses. A simple ``retrieve-then-generate'' pipeline is insufficient for these needs. We envision Geo-RAG, a next-generation paradigm that reimagines RAG as a modular retrieve $\rightarrow$ reason $\rightarrow$ generate $\rightarrow$ verify loop. Geo-RAG supports four core capabilities: (i) retrieval of multi-modal Earth data; (ii) reasoning under physical and domain constraints; (iii) generation of science-grade artifacts; and (iv) verification of generated hypotheses against numerical models, ground measurements, and expert assessments. This shift opens new opportunities for more trustworthy and transparent geoscience workflows.

Abstract
Next location prediction is a critical task in human mobility modeling, enabling applications like travel planning and urban mobility management. Existing methods mainly rely on historical spatiotemporal trajectory data to train sequence models that directly forecast future locations. However, they often overlook the importance of the future spatiotemporal contexts, which are highly informative for the future locations. For example, knowing how much time and distance a user will travel could serve as a critical clue for predicting the user's next location. Against this background, we propose \textbf{STRelay}, a universal \textbf{\underline{S}}patio\textbf{\underline{T}}emporal \textbf{\underline{Relay}}ing framework explicitly modeling the future spatiotemporal context given a human trajectory, to boost the performance of different location prediction models. Specifically, STRelay models future spatiotemporal contexts in a relaying manner, which is subsequently integrated with the encoded historical representation from a base location prediction model, enabling multi-task learning by simultaneously predicting the next time interval, next moving distance interval, and finally the next location. We evaluate STRelay integrated with four state-of-the-art location prediction base models on four real-world trajectory datasets. Results demonstrate that STRelay consistently improves prediction performance across all cases by 3.19\%-11.56\%. Additionally, we find that the future spatiotemporal contexts are particularly helpful for entertainment-related locations and also for user groups who prefer traveling longer distances. The performance gain on such non-daily-routine activities, which often suffer from higher uncertainty, is indeed complementary to the base location prediction models that often excel at modeling regular daily routine patterns.
