Four Session LaTeX Workshops

Tuesday, February 28th, 2023

LaTeX is a professional typesetting software system for document preparation. The author writes using plain text rather than the formatted text found in WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). Word processors such as Microsoft Word, LibreOffice Writer, or Apple Pages need formatted text. This makes LaTeX extremely lightweight, fast, flexible, and accurate. For example, there are no chances of a document messing-up after adding a picture to it or crashing when creating a lengthy document.

LaTeXcan is used for a wide range of tasks, from the design of high-quality vector illustrations to the creation of eye-catching presentations. You can find memes comparing LaTeX and Microsoft Word by searching the Internet.

People who attend all four sessions will get the certificate. You will need to register for all 4 sessions separately.

Electrification Key Engineering Goals

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2023

Date: Tuesday, March 14th, 10 AM – 3 PM

Location: Hybrid event, in person (CEI 3000) , University of Windsor, and online (Microsoft Teams)

 

To lead the EV market, organizations must meet key engineering goals on performance safety and cost.

Performance:

One of the concerns of a potential buyer is how far an electric vehicle can travel without a need for charging.  The goal is to reduce the range of anxiety. The preferred range is over 400 miles while today it is 60-300 miles for EVs. Improve battery life and compare it to vehicle life(about 10 years). Today battery warranty is about 7-8 years. Increase battery and motor power density, and create differentiators in terms of comfort like reducing noise and vibration.

Safety:

Safety is the most important criterion for EVs. Even a single battery fire could turn public opinion against electric mobility and set back Electric Vehicle development. Vehicles and components need to be tested against industry standards for compliance and reliability. The switching device in EV leads to ripple and overvoltage, which may lead to the failure of dielectrics. Also, the switching device results in emissions, which we need to ensure are below regulatory standards.

Cost:  

Affordability is one of the factors for mass adoption. The production cost of EVs should be equivalent to or lower than that of IC Engine vehicles. 30-40% cost of EVs is Battery, and it’s expected to reduce battery costs by <$100 / KW-hr. With the increase in electronics, software development costs and time have increased, and there is a need to improve development productivity and reduce manual error.

AI in 6G Networks – Path From Enabler to AI Native Air Interface

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2022

The upcoming event “AI in 6G Networks – Path From Enabler to AI Native Air Interface” will be held on Friday, 10 November 2022, co-hosted by IEEE Windsor Section Joint Chapter SP01/COM19.

For registration and more information, please visit:

https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/329644

Abstract: 

Machine learning (ML) and AI will play a key role in the development of 6G networks. Network virtualization and network softwarization solutions in 5G networks can support data-driven intelligent and automated networks to some extent and this trend will grow in 5G-advanced networks. Radio access network algorithms and radio resource management functions can exploit network intelligence to fine tune network parameters to reach close-to-optimal performance in 5G networks. In 6G networks, network intelligence is envisioned to be end-to-end, and air interface is envisioned to be AI-native. The user equipment (UE) devices need to be smarter, environment and context aware, and capable of running ML algorithms. This talk will focus on the main practical challenges in developing machine learning solutions in 5G use cases and emphasize with a case study how deployment of these solutions is much harder in a live network as compared to theoretical performance evaluation. Further, a vision for paradigm shift from AI-as-an-enabler to AI-Native air-interface will be provided for 6G networks.

VDL Talk on “AI Based zero energy communication in 6G”

Sunday, August 28th, 2022

 

Austin ComSoc/SP/CtSoc and Computer/EMBS  joint chapters would like to invite you to attend a special VDL talk on “AI Based Zero Energy Communication in 6G” on September 21st, 2022.

Speaker:

Prof. Sinem Coleri, Koc University (Turkey)

 

Abstract


Supporting low- or zero-energy machine type devices through the incorporation of energy harvesting technologies in 6G is expected to reduce frequent battery replacements as well as sustaining the operation of battery-less devices. The nodes can harvest energy from natural sources, such as sun, vibration and pressure; inductive and magnetic coupling; and radio frequency (RF) based wireless energy transfer. The complexity of the integration of energy harvesting into communication system design is increasing with the wide variety of the requirements of massive machine type communication scenarios in terms of reliability, delay and throughput. This high complexity can only be handled by the usage of AI techniques to continuously monitor the system knowledge and update the optimal communication and energy harvesting parameters accordingly. In this talk, novel optimal resource allocation algorithms are presented for low- or zero-energy machine type devices based on the usage of AI techniques. The wireless communication network and energy harvesting parameters are mapped to the optimal resource allocation by using deep neural networks.
