[] With preregistration and a nominal fee, CEU units are available for those who attend both tutorials including: - IEEE Future Networks: Security Considerations for Mobile Edge Computing - IEEE Future Networks: 5G NTN Takes Flight: 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks Evolving Towards 6G ABSTRACT 1. Security Considerations for Mobile Edge Computing Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is a technology framework that brings computational resources, including processing power, storage, and network connectivity, closer to mobile devices and users. In MEC, these resources are deployed at the edge of the cellular network, typically in close proximity to cell towers and base stations. This contrasts with traditional cloud computing, where data processing and s torage occur in centralized data centers that can be distant from the end-user. Key aspects and features of MEC include Low Latency, Proximity, Resource Optimization, Scalability, Context Awareness and Security. Security measures are implemented at the edge to protect sensitive data and ensure the integrity of the network. This can include encryption, access control, and authentication mechanisms. Applications and use cases of MEC are diverse and include AR/VR, IoT, Content Delivery, Connected Vehicles, Smart Grids. MEC is also a critical component in the evolution of 5G networks. The tutorial provides a forum for researchers and engineers from academia and industry to develop a deep understanding of MEC Security. The participants would be exposed to wide and diverse topics in MEC Security, including existing and new attack surfaces and attack vectors along with their mitigation. ABSTRACT 2. 5G NTN Takes Flight: 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks Evolving Towards 6G From the beginning, 3GPPs vision of ubiquitous communication included the usage of satellite or airborne based network components. Heading towards 6G we envision the contribution of NTN into the 6G system, IMT-2030 sets some clear requirements incorporating a non-terrestrial, unified network architecture from it’s inception. Release 17 considered as the start of NTN in 5G targets at enabling non-terrestrial network services. Later releases will enhance the NTN contribution and even if 6G may be an evolution and not a revolution, NTN will play a pivotal role from the advent of 6G. This presentation will outline the technology evolution from the first NTN up to the anticipated technology evolutions on the path to 6G. The NTN technology starts with transparent mode architecture, incorporates regenerative mode and multi-connectivity mobility scenarios on a mid-term basis, and then looks towards long-term aspects like 3D unified and resilient networks, ultimately paving the way towards “beyond cellular” in a 6G network that includes NTN from its inception. In addition we would like to present the evolution of Test and Measurement aspects and how T&M can ensure the successful operation and development of future NTN networks.

IEEE Members should include their IEEE Membership Number when registering. Access to online Meeting (https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/415613) will be provided with the link prior to the event. Guest Lecture Focus This lecture considers General-Purpose Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) products marketed as ‘empathic partners’, ‘personal AI’, ‘co-pilots’, ‘assistants’, and related phrasing for ‘human-AI partnering’. Open AI, Inflection, Google, Microsoft, and others, all promise empathic capacities. Current and nascent domains of use include work, therapy, education, life coaching, legal problems, fitness, and entertainment. The lecture focuses on the risks and opportunities of empathic human-AI partnering, what new governance (if any) is required, and the role that soft law standards may play in leading in supporting hard law. To explore empathic human-AI partnering, the lecture will initially provide historical context to these technologies, case examples, and a sense of current governance for technologies used to empathise. With this understanding in place, the lecture will progress to consider need to contrast upstream and downstream understandings of GPAI, complexities of this separation for governance, balancing of short and long-term risks, social and ethical questions unique to empathic human-AI partnering, issues of global cultural variation regarding empathic human-AI partnering, balancing of interests of ethical diversity and unity in creation of soft law and standards, and lessons that can be learned from existing and nascent P7000 standards.

Abstract: The transportation industry is facing challenges in terms of improving emissions and fuel economy, and at the same time reducing the overall cost. The trend is towards replacing mechanical and pneumatic systems with electrical systems, thus transitioning toward “more electric” architectures and electric/hybrid propulsion systems. To meet these challenges in the automotive industry, significant work has been done in the areas of electric, hybrid, and fuel cell vehicles. In the case of airplanes, more electric architecture , fuel cell, and hybrid propulsion strategies are the emerging trends. Recently, there is also an increasing interest in flying cars, and Electrical vertical take- off and landing vehicles (eVTOL) to be used as air taxis. Similar strategies have been adopted in Marine propulsion systems also. This presentation examines present trends and advancements in electric/hybrid vehicles, electric and hybrid aircrafts, hydrogen- based systems, and flying cars/VTOL vehicles. In addition, recent trends in the enabling technologies, power electronics and electric motors, for the advancement of the electrified transportation will be briefly presented.

This talk will provide an overview of deep learning applications in nanophotonic device design, focusing on generative neural networks. To achieve inverse design in nanophotonics, optimization of tens of thousands of 'pixels' is typically required. The adjoint method, a popular local optimization approach, often necessitates multiple optimization runs. Generative deep learning builds on existing data to generate new designs with specified target specifications such as transmission/reflection spectra. For instance, datasets optimized for discrete wavelengths (e.g., wavelength splitters) or splitting ratios (e.g., power splitters) can be used to generate devices with arbitrary wavelength or splitting ratios. We demonstrate examples using conditional variational autoencoders (CVAE) and denoising diffusion probabilistic models (DDPM) for applications in planar waveguide devices, metasurface gratings, and plasmonic gratings. Additionally, we introduce the concept of latent space optimization and transfer learning.

Enabling Performance-Efficient GenAI at the Edge Through Quantization, Dwith Chenna The widespread adoption of Generative AI (GenAI) applications has sparked a revolution in the development of innovative solutions, it is expected that inference will account for 90% of the costs associated with GenAI applications, compared to only 10% for training. This cost disparity, along with the environmental impact of inference and data privacy concerns, has underscored the need for optimization at the edge. Quantization has emerged as a crucial technique, offering significant performance gains in computation and memory usage. In this presentation, we will delve into modern quantization techniques that facilitate the deployment of GenAI applications, such as large language models (LLMs), at the Edge. We will explore popular methods including AWQ, SmoothQuant, and Block Quantization, examining their trade-offs and optimizations. Using popular open-source models like Llama, OPT and Mistral, along with Llama.cpp, a well-regarded C++ implementation, as case study, we will analyze the impact of quantization on model performance for achieving overall efficiency in GenAI deployments.

Engineers traditionally use deterministic modeling in their tasks, but challenges for developing and optimizing products and processes inspire us to venture beyond deterministic to probabilistic or stochastic modeling. In this continuation from the prior presentation, a case study applying predictive engineering for the optimization of 4 requirements for an integrated circuit (Integrated Alternator Regulator for automobiles) will be shared. Deterministic models were derived by using design of experiments (DOE) and response surface modeling (RSM) in concert with circuit simulations. These deterministic models were melded with probabilistic modeling using Monte Carlo Simulation and Variance Transmission. Yield Surface Modeling™ will be introduced and shared and applied for stochastic co-optimization of the four requirements of the design. Brief summaries and overviews of other applications of predictive engineering to integrated circuit design stochastic optimization will be shared.

In noble metals a patina of free electrons extends out into free space and vanishes within a fraction of an atomic diameter. We discuss the possibility and consequences of the existence of such a free electron layer, acting as an epsilon-near-zero medium. Just as classical macroscopic electrodynamics cannot discern either individual atoms or field fluctuations between atoms, it is similarly unable of discriminating the rapid decay of the free electron spill-out density within a distance that is less than an atomic diameter. The best one can do is treat the boundary as a layer of free charge density having thickness equal to a single spatial discretization step of unknown average density, equivalent to a delta-function. Under these conditions we predict that if this boundary layer exists it will display enhanced pump absorption and decreased nonlinear thresholds. Finally, we will discuss a new formulation of radiation reaction that supplants the Abraham-Lorenz classical theory and applies to non-relativistic electrons of finite size. The introduction of an explicit reaction force in the Newtonian equation of motion leads to a new hydrodynamic equation that offers novel insight on the influence of damping in generic plasmas, metal-based and dielectric nanostructures.

Live workshops are recorded for later use. Registration Fees: IEEE Member Early Rate (August 28): $190.00 IEEE Member Rate (after August 28): $285.00 IEEE Non-Member Early Rate (by August 28): $210.00 IEEE Non-Member Rate (after August 28): $315.00 Decision to run/cancel course: Thursday, August 22, 2024 Course information will be distributed by Wednesday August 28, and then a brief live Orientation meeting will be held on Thursday August 29 ahead of the weekly live workshops that follow. Attendees will have access to the recorded session and exercises for two months (until November 26, 2024) after the last live session ends! This is a hands-on course combining pre-recorded lectures with live Q&A and workshop sessions in the popular and powerful open-source Python programming language. Pre-Recorded Videos: The course format has been updated to release pre-recorded video lectures that students can watch on their own schedule, and an unlimited number of times, prior to live Q&A workshop sessions on Zoom with the instructor. The videos will also be available to the students for viewing for up to two months after the conclusion of the course. Overview: Dan provides simple, straight-forward navigation through the multiple configurations and options, providing a best-practices approach for quickly getting up to speed using Python for modelling and analysis for applications in signal processing and digital design verification. Students will be using the Anaconda distribution, which combines Python with the most popular data science applications, and Jupyter Notebooks for a rich, interactive experience. The course begins with basic Python data structures and constructs, including key “Pythonic” concepts, followed by an overview and use of popular packages for scientific computing enabling rapid prototyping for system design. During the course students will create example designs including a sigma delta converter and direct digital synthesizer both in floating point and fixed point. This will include considerations for cycle and bit accurate models useful for digital design verification (FPGA/ASIC), while bringing forward the signal processing tools for frequency and time domain analysis. Jupyter Notebooks: This course makes extensive use of Jupyter Notebooks which combines running Python code with interactive plots and graphics for a rich user experience. Jupyter Notebooks is an open-source web-based application (that can be run locally) that allows users to create and share visually appealing documents containing code, graphics, visualizations and interactive plots. Students will be able to interact with the notebook contents and use “take-it-with-you” results for future applications in signal processing. Target Audience: This course is targeted toward users with little to no prior experience in Python, however familiarity with other modern programming languages and an exposure to object-oriented constructs is very helpful. Students should be comfortable with basic signal processing concepts in the frequency and time domain. Familiarity with Matlab or Octave is not required, but the equivalent operations in Python using the NumPy package will be provided for those students that do currently use Matlab and/or Octave for signal processing applications. Benefits of Attending / Goals of Course: Attendees will gain an overall appreciation of using Python and quickly get up to speed in best practice use of Python. All set-up information for the installation of all tools will be provided before the start of class.

Many physics laws and mathematical rules are insensitive to order. For example, the addition of numbers disregards the sequence order, e.g., 1+2+3=3+1+2. However, such a commutative property does not always hold. When the outcomes of a set of operations depend on the execution order, they can become “non-Abelian.” In the 20th century, non-Abelian mathematical frameworks have played profound roles in formulating many fundamental laws of modern physics. Famous examples include the classification of hadrons and the unification of electro-weak interactions. Classical physics, such as mechanics, electromagnetism, and optics, were well established before non-Abelian theories came into play. However, this does not mean non-Abelian effects are absent in the classical world. One prominent example is a Rubik’s Cube—the moves made on the cube do not always commute: two sequential moves done in different orders do not necessarily get the color palettes to the same layout. We then ask: how and when non-Abelian phenomena arise in classical waves? Delving into this question, our recent works leverage Berry-phase matrices, which capture the adiabatic evolution of multiple states, to realize non-Abelian braiding in acoustics and photonics . Here, the braiding operations are implemented using coupled waveguide arrays, which are adiabatically modulated along the guiding direction to enforce a multi-state Berry-phase matrix that swaps the modal dwell sites. The evolution of the guiding modes maps to the generators of braid groups. The non-Abelian characteristics are revealed by switching the order of two distinct braiding operations involving at least three modes. Our results offer new perspectives in exploring novel wave-controlling schemes for future technological applications . Z.-G. Chen, R.-Y. Zhang, C. T. Chan, and G.

This talk highlights the next generation of wireless power transfer (WPT) network concept that is scalable, safe, and efficient and can be deployed in a UAS by incorporating waveform engineering, electromechanical beamforming, integrated phased-array antenna, and transmitter (TX)/receiver (RX) co-design. Although interest in radiative (far-field) WPT using beamforming has been growing rapidly because of its capability to energize a large number of autonomous devices, most of these works are still in the theoretical phase without any practical implementation. This talk presents the implementation of a distributed beamforming network using a bottom-up approach (from the antenna to the inter-connected network) that is highly important for addressing the challenges associated with a dynamically changing environment. Practical system-level implementation strategies and multi-scale and multi-technique approaches to building a resilient WPT network for UAVs will be discussed. First, the challenges associated with the dual approach of electrical beamforming and the mechanical steering of the TX antennas to maximize the RF-RF link efficiency will be discussed. Secondly, an investigation of the efficient rectifier circuitry designed on-chip as well as commercial off-the-shelf components (COTS) to maximize the power conversion efficiency RF-DC efficiency will be presented. Finally, future research directions on increasing the power transfer distance to scale up the amount of power delivered to the load for the proposed wireless power beaming network system will be highlighted.

[] On this celebratory IEEE Day, let us rejoice in the combined IEEE worldwide activities of 39 technical societies and 7 interdisciplinary councils on one side of the IEEE coin, balanced with local sections and student chapters, bringing a physical presence of IEEE to local communities. By the way, one could argue that IEEE also has a 3rd leg into humanitarian activities. These S/C span a great swathe from hardware to software, including electronic devices, solar/wind energy production, power transmission, control theory, image compression, signal processing, and computer architecture. One could say this moves from applied physics to applied math. However, this session drills down to predominantly 1 of these societies, the electron device society, where the field of semiconductor materials and devices thrives. So, with the USA's Chips and Science Act to onshore semiconductor chip manufacturing, what does this mean to you and your communities. First, the Chips portion supports semiconductor companies to build or expand domestic chip production. The Science portion aims to perform workforce development to populate those factories.

Abstract: Our world is filled with pernicious problems. How, for example, did novice pilots learn to fly without taking to the air and risking their lives? How should cities process mountains of waste without polluting the environment? Challenges that tangle personal, public, and planetary aspects―often occurring in health care, infrastructure, business, and policy―are known as wicked problems, and they are not going away anytime soon. In linked chapters focusing on key facets of systems engineering―efficiency, vagueness, vulnerability, safety, maintenance, and resilience―engineer Guru Madhavan illuminates how wicked problems have emerged throughout history and how best to address them in the future. He examines best-known tragedies and lesser-known tales, from the efficient design of battleships to a volcano eruption that curtailed global commerce, and how maintenance of our sanitation systems constitutes tikkun olam, or repair of our world. Braided throughout is the uplifting tale of Edwin Link, an unsung hero who revolutionized aviation with his flight trainer. In Link’s story, Madhavan uncovers a model mindset to engage with wickedness. An homage to society’s innovators and maintainers, (https://www.amazon.com/Wicked-Problems-Engineer-Better-World/dp/0393651460/ref=sr_1_1)offers a refreshing vision for readers of all backgrounds to build a better future and demonstrates how engineering is a cultural choice―one that requires us to restlessly find ways to transform society, but perhaps more critically, to care for the creations that already exist. Bio: Guru Madhavan is the Norman R. Augustine Senior Scholar and senior director of programs at the National Academy of Engineering, and his books include Applied Minds: How Engineers Think and Wicked Problems: How to Engineer a Better World.

As cyber threats become more advanced, traditional security models struggle to keep up with protecting modern networks. The Zero Trust framework, based on the idea of verifying and authorizing access at every step, regardless of user location or device, offers a solid solution. Adding Artificial Intelligence to this approach makes it even more effective by enabling smarter threat detection, continuous monitoring, and adaptive security measures. This talk looks at how AI improves zero-trust networks, focusing on AI algorithms like Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) that can track network behavior over time to spot unusual activity and potential threats. AI also helps prioritize which threats need the most attention using risk scoring, making it easier to handle the most serious risks first. With AI-powered monitoring, even small security issues can be detected and addressed in real time, improving response times and overall protection. Combining AI with Zero Trust creates a more flexible and robust security system, ready to tackle the ever-changing challenges in cybersecurity. Speaker(s): Shajina Anand, Agenda: After the presentation the audience is invited to discuss with the speaker on the topic.
