The main goal of this seasonal school is to dive deep into the rapidly developing field of in-memory computing with a focus on Artificial intelligence (AI) and cover its cross-layer design challenges from device to algorithms. The IEEE Seasonal School in Circuits and Systems on In-Memory Computing (IMC 2024) offers talks and tutorials by leading researchers from multiple disciplines and prominent universities and promotes student short presentations to demonstrate new research and results, discuss the potential and challenges of the in-memory accelerators, future research needs, and directions, and shape collaborations. First Talk Title: Developing True Intelligent System: Tools and Case Studies In recent years, we have seen tremendous growth in the AI/ML domain. However, we are still far away from building truly intelligent automated systems. To achieve a true intelligent agent, one should better human decisions and should learn continuously with minimal human intervention. In this talk, we talk about Reinforcement Learning (RL), one key tool to achieving this intelligence. We will discuss the recipe for leveraging RL to create true intelligent systems. As a proof of concept, we discuss two research directions on leveraging RL tools to create intelligent automated agents. Finally, we touch upon some open questions that need to be addressed to realize the dream of true intelligent systems. Second Talk Title: General-Purpose Processing in Memristive Memory Arrays In the last decade, computing systems have faced several challenges that have slowed down their performance improvement substantially. Moreover, we are facing serious challenges and concerns regarding the energy consumption of computing systems. To contain this increasing gap between performance demand and supply alternative paradigms and technologies have been heavily researched. One of the outstanding alternatives is Memory-Centric Computing (MCC). The main idea of MCC is to process data as close as possible to the memory. This reduces the delay and energy overhead associated with loading data for processing and sending it back to the memory for storing the results. MCC can be performed using any memory technology. Among various memory technologies, memristors stand out as one of the best candidates. They are non-volatile, fast, extremely compact, and compatible with the widely used Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology. These properties give them an edge in terms of energy efficiency, speed-up gains, price, and their potential share in the future market, respectively. In this talk, we focus on computation inside the memory array and using stateful logics. Processing data inside the array leads to the minimum data travel distance possible, which maximized the associated benefits. We present an overview of some the computational units that we have proposed, such as adders, multipliers, sorting systems, and filters, some of which are combine MCC with other emerging computing paradigms such as stochastic and approximate computing.

Passivity theory is one of the cornerstones of control theory providing a systematic way to study the stability of interconnected systems. In practice, many systems are not passive, and must be passivized in order to be included in the framework of passivity theory. Input-output (loop) transformations are the most general tool for passivizing systems. In this paper, we propose a characterization of all possible input-output transformations that map a system with given shortage of passivity to a system with prescribed excess of passivity. We do so by using the connection between passivity theory and cones for SISO systems, and using the S-lemma for MIMO systems. We also present several possible applications of our results, including simultaneous passivation of multiple systems or with respect to multiple equilibria, as well as optimization problems such as $\mathcal{L}_2$-gain minimization.

Our speaker for this month is Mr. Jeffrey Mayer, whose initial degree was in Zoology followed by a 10-year career in the Navy, separating as a Lieutenant Commander. He returned to college earning a BS EE and later a Master's in Technical Management. After a brief stint in private industry, Mr. Mayer returned to the federal government to serve as the lead systems engineer and program manager for several small but challenging training and weapon system programs. He will discuss what it takes to be successful when dealing with others (management and engineers) and how to groom yourself for advancement…the plusses and minuses. One area, as an engineering manager, he found that young people entering the workforce have certain expectations and shortcomings. He always felt (since he was 22) that it was his job to make them successful. Agenda: 4:15 PM registration and refreshments 4:30 PM Presentation by Jeffrey Mayer followed by questions and answers.

Fundamental physical limits apply to many key antenna performance parameters (gain, Q-factor, efficiency), particularly when device dimensions are small relative to operating wavelengths – the “electrically small” regime. These limitations cannot be exceeded by linear time-invariant (LTI) devices, and can manifest as critical bottlenecks for communications and sensing technology. In this talk, we survey recent work on moving antenna technology away from the classical LTI design paradigm and toward active, non-linear, and time-varying systems. Emphasis is placed on research incorporating time-varying elements into antennas and matching networks with the goal of exceeding physical bounds on LTI antenna metrics. This includes direct antenna modulation (DAM), which treats time-varying antennas and matching networks as active parts of the modulation process, allowing for efficient, extreme instantaneous radiated signal bandwidths from electrically small apertures. Additionally, the co-design of electrically small antennas with parametric pumping networks for broadband, low-noise receive applications will be presented. Modeling challenges and simulation approaches for time-varying radiators will be discussed and several theoretical concepts in the area of time-varying antennas will also be surveyed, including the extension of effective aperture to time-varying antennas and the effect of cross-frequency coupling on the effective receiver noise temperature.

Join the IEEE Foundation on Friday, 8 November, at 11:30 a.m. EST for an IEEE Foundation Estate Planning Luncheon at the beautiful Bell Works venue in Holmdel, NJ. This event is an opportunity for IEEE Members and friends to gather and connect with peers before the holidays and to see how investing in the future could keep many of the IEEE activities and programs thriving for generations to come. Estate planning encompasses various components, and knowing which ones apply to you and the correct order in which to address them is essential. Often, people focus on reducing inheritance taxes at the expense of maximizing retirement cash flow and lowering effective tax rates. It is crucial to understand how properly structuring assets and cash flows can lead to increased retirement cash flow and reduced tax rates during your lifetime. Our keynote speaker is Shaun Scutellaro, CPA and Partner at Cohn Reznick, LLP. Shaun has extensive career experience in public and private accounting and domestic and foreign tax. He is a member of the AICPA and NJCPA and is beginning a term on the board of Trustees for NJCPA compliance for individuals. Shaun will guide us through his expertise in a brief and insightful seminar on estate planning.

Talk Title: PC Board Design and Layout for Low-EMI Power Conversion Presentation Outline: As a consultant for over 10 years, Kenneth has realized the root cause of many design issues revolves around the circuit board design and how the I/O and power connectors are arranged and filtered. Poor board designs and poor interconnect placement and filtering can result in radiated emissions, radiated immunity, and electrostatic discharge (ESD) compliance failures, among others. Bad designs often result in endless cycles of trial and error mitigation, compliance testing and board spins. This drags out the schedule and is very costly. In the presentation, Kenneth will explain how digital signals propagate in boards as electromagnetic fields. He will also explain how interconnect placement and poor filtering design and layout can affect the EMI performance. Once you understand this, then board stack-up, trace routing, filter design and interconnect placement should become very clear and you should be able to design a low-EMI board the first time! About the speaker: Kenneth Wyatt is principal consultant of Wyatt Technical Services LLC and served three years as the senior technical editor for Interference Technology magazine from 2016 through 2018. He has worked in the field of EMC engineering for over 30 years with a specialty in EMI troubleshooting and pre-compliance testing. He is a co-author of the popular EMC Pocket Guide and RFI Radio Frequency Interference Pocket Guide. He also co-authored the book with Patrick André, EMI Troubleshooting Cookbook for Product Designers, with forward by Henry Ott. He recently completed and released a three-volume “EMC Troubleshooting Trilogy”, which is now available through Amazon. See web for ordering info. He is widely published and authors a monthly column for the Signal Integrity Journal, has blogged for EDN.com for many years, has a monthly column, EMC Bench Notes, for InCompliance Magazine (starting 2024), writes regularly for EEWorld and continues to write for Interference Technology Magazine.

Distinguished Lecture (Virtual) - Civilized Collaboration: Ethical architectures for enforcing legal requirements and mediating social norms in Human-robot Interaction Prof. Ronald C. Arkin, Georgia Tech, IEEE Fellow Abstract: The ways in which we treat each other, typically underpinned by an ethical theory, serve as a foundation for civilized activity. Bounds and requirements are established for normal and acceptable interactions between humans. If we are to create robotic systems to reside among us, they must also adhere to a set of related values that humans operate under. This talk first describes the importance of such conventions in human-robot interaction, then outlines a way forward including the difficult research questions remaining to be confronted in ethical human robot interaction (HRI). In particular, examples involving architectures using ethical governors, moral emotions, responsibility advisors and theories of mind are described in two quite different contexts: warfare and the maintenance of human dignity in healthcare. Even the role of deception must be considered as an important adjunct to HRI, as it may yield more effective intentional and autonomous social robots if properly deployed. Finally, we can consider how robots may eventually be able to engineer more socially just human beings via nudging and the ethical questions associated with using such devices. Prof. Ronald C. Arkin is Professor Emeritus with the College of Computing at Georgia TechProf. Arkin was named a Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology in 2012 and a Distinguished Visitor for the IEEE Computer Society in 2023. He was elected a Fellow of the IEEE in 2003.
