In an ever-growing populous world, the automotive industry is faced with opportunities and challenges, which has been driving revolutionary changes to the automotive DNA. These involve an exponentially increasing electronic content and interconnected embedded (Cyber-Physical) systems, in contrast with the relatively simple stand-alone computing systems that once controlled basic engine and chassis functions. The realized advances in vehicle electrification, connectivity, and autonomous driving capabilities, when combined, will make our cars and trucks much different, more efficient, and much safer than those on the road today. In this talk, examples of new and emerging automotive features and systems will be discussed to show that these systems are evolving to become highly cyber-physical in nature, and perhaps represent some of the most sophisticated cyber-physical systems that exist. These technologies are considered foundational to future Intelligent Transportation Systems and have a huge potential to impact the industry and society. Before we get into such specific examples, the talk will quickly cover the motivations or market drivers which let the automotive systems to move into the CPS space.

IEEE PCJS Young Professional Talk Series 2024 Towards Supporting Tactile Human-to-Machine Communications with An Intelligent Optical Access Network Dr. Lihua Ruan Pengcheng Laboratory Shenzhen, China About the Talk Communicating tactile-haptic sensations such that humans can immersively interact with distant real/virtual environments through machines/robots, i.e., H2M communication, is a fascinating but challenging leap to our current networks. The optical fiber access network, as a pillar of support for low-latency applications, will need continuous capacity upgrading and latency reduction for succeeding H2M communications. The required improvement could partly be made with the rapid-advancing machine learning (ML) techniques to innovate network control solutions. In this talk, we will go through how intelligent bandwidth decisions can be driven by ML to support tactile H2M communications over optical access networks. About the Speaker Lihua Ruan received her Ph.D. from the University of Melbourne (UoM), Australia, in 2020. In Mar 2019 and April, 2019, she was a visiting student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA. From 2020 to 2022, she was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, China. She is currently a Researcher at Pengcheng Laboratory, Shenzhen. Lihua pursues a research passion on fiber-wireless access networks, machine learning for networks, tactile Internet and low-latency communications, and wireless sensing and security. Lihua actively serves as a reviewer of many high-rank journals and is/was on the Technical Program Committee (TPC) of OFC, IEEE ICC, and ACP conferences. She was a guest editor for Elsevier Computer Networks Special Issue and was invited for talks in 2024, 2023 ICOCN and 2024 OECC.
