Having a secure and reliable system is key in ensuring connectivity for daily operations, identifying faults, communication during natural disasters and future smart initiatives. By creating a Private LTE network brings control back to the utilities from the public carriers. There are many new areas and technologies that have been enabled through use of different RF bands ranging from 600mHZ to 6.0 Ghz that will enable utilities to maintain protection and control while also gathering data to make better operational decisions. From EV chargers to AMI Meters, technology has adapted and so now do utilities. Speaker(s): Jason “J.T.” Mills, , Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/356924

2023 is an outstanding year for the Syracuse Section of the IEEE. We are having our first in-person Fellows Night Celebration since 2019 and we have much to celebrate. There are three new 2023 IEEE Fellows from our Syracuse membership! All three are professors at Syracuse University. Professors Wenliang (Kevin) Du and Vir Phoha, in the College of Engineering and Computer Science, and Britton Plourde, in the College of Arts and Sciences, have been elevated to Fellow status, which is the highest professional designation in the IEEE. Less than 0.1% of IEEE membership is elevated to Fellow status annually. Professor Du's contributions are in cybersecurity education and research. Professor Phoha is recognized for his work developing attack-averse active authentication in computing systems using behavioral patterns. Professor Plourde’s contribution is in the integration of qubits into future practical quantum computing systems. Our evening celebration will start with registration and social hour (cash bar) at 5:30pm and buffet dinner at 6:30pm. After dinner, each of our new 2023 IEEE Fellows will give a brief overview of their research. Registration is available up to the day of the event (4/20) and the fee is not required at the time of registration. However, please register by 4/17 so we have an accurate count. Payment through this webpage can be made by credit card or paypal. On 4/20, the fee can only be paid by check or cash.

Music is an art; a performing art; and a fundamentally nonrepresentational performing art. Each of these characteristics has a profound effect on how musical information can be represented and therefore on how it can be retrieved. As an art, numerous works in a given medium use the same elements, but artists creating new works use them in novel ways almost constantly. In general, a performance of a musical work is not the work itself. Any performance is simply an instantiation in sound of the work, one of a myriad of possible instantiations. The work itself can be described by music notation in what is called a score. Finally, being nonrepresentational means that everything is abstract: music need not be, and usually is not, focused on objects from the real world. This talk will also briefly discuss retrieval of music from common representations, including both audio and the remarkable edifice of Conventional Western Music Notation (CWMN). The talk will show examples of notation produced by an experimental version of the Nightingale music-score editor, notation that for the first time enables CWMN to represent precisely what happens during a note.
