Abstract: Members of IEEE have been involved in the development of artificial intelligence since its inception. Since 2015 there has been a great effort to develop ethical guidelines for AI in the IEEE, leading to a series of documents on Ethically Aligned Design for Intelligent and Autonomous Systems, including analysis of ethically aligned design for business and education. In addition to these analysis and policy documents, IEEE's Standards Association has created a series of standards for the ethical use of AI, the 7000 standard series. These standards have influenced international AI and ethics public policy, including a Digital Services Framework Based on the Rights Principles for Children. In this talk we will look at IEEE's efforts in promoting and defining ethical design with AI and its applications in advancing technology for the benefit of humanity.

The oscilloscope is a vital tool on every test bench, so mastering it can help you save time and achieve accurate measurements. In this webinar, our experts will cover oscilloscope fundamentals, demonstrating proper operation techniques and highlighting parameters to be mindful of when performing measurements. They will delve into critical topics such as bandwidth, acquisition rate, blind time, memory, and triggering, explaining how these specifications impact signal representation and measurement accuracy.

This will be an interactive session. Prof. Huzur Saran, IIT New Delhi, India, will provide brief motivation of Edge Computing. He will then discuss the ETSI MEC architecture and its evolution in the 3GPP standards, followed by how it has been implemented in their 5G test-bed at Bharti School, IIT New Delhi, India. Prof. Saran, will present some of the applications related to edge intelligence to enable split control in haptics applications. He will also discuss the notion of "edgefiability" that looks at when having an edge intelligence is feasible. The discussion will end with some natural "next-step" identification.

Course Kick-off / Orientation 6:00PM – 6:30PM EDT; Thursday, June 13, 2024 First Video Release, Thursday, June 13, 2024. Additional videos released weekly in advance of that week’s live session! Live Workshops: 6:00PM – 7:30PM EDT; Thursdays, June 20, 27, July 11, 18, 25 Registration Fees: IEEE Member Early Rate (by June 6th): $190.00 IEEE Member Rate (after June 6th): $285.00 IEEE Non-Member Early Rate (by June 6th): $210.00 IEEE Non-Member Rate (after June 6th): $315.00 Decision to run/cancel course: Course will run! Registration is open through the last live workshop date. Live workshops are recorded for later use. Course Information will be distributed on Thursday, June 13, 2024 in advance of and in preparation for the first live workshop session. A live orientation session will be held on Thursday, June 13, 2024. Attendees will have access to the recorded session and exercises for two months (until August 20, 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 includes 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. Course Summary This course builds on the IEEE course “DSP for Wireless Communications” also taught by Dan Boschen, further detailing digital signal processing most applicable to practical real-world problems and applications in radio communication systems. Students need not have taken the prior course if they are familiar with fundamental DSP concepts such as the Laplace and Z transform and basic digital filter design principles. This course brings together core DSP concepts to address signal processing challenges encountered in radios and modems for modern wireless communications. Specific areas covered include carrier and timing recovery, equalization, automatic gain control, and considerations to mitigate the effects of RF and channel distortions such as multipath, phase noise and amplitude/phase offsets. Dan builds an intuitive understanding of the underlying mathematics through the use of graphics, visual demonstrations, and real-world applications for mixed signal (analog/digital) modern transceivers. This course is applicable to DSP algorithm development with a focus on meeting practical hardware development challenges, rather than a tutorial on implementations with DSP processors. Now with Jupyter Notebooks!

This seminar will present an overview of VHF/UHF repeaters. George will present a guided tour of the components that comprise a contemporary VHF/UHF analog repeater. He will discuss the many issues that a successful repeater organization requires to get right. This presentation provides an overview and key features of the components. It is not intended as an “in-depth” investigation of each component; but instead provide a starting point of what needs to be considered. Topics that will be discussed include: - What is a Repeater - Coverage Area - Site Environment - Antenna System - Power Source - Receiver - Transmitter - Controller - Linking - Security - Laws & Regulations - Future Directions for Repeaters Co-sponsored by: R30507 - Canaveral Section (COMSOC chapter) Speaker(s): George Sullivan Agenda: 7:00 PM Networking 7:20 PM Presentation Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/422937
