The deployments and adoption of 5G networks is experiencing impressive growth at the allocated cellular and mid-band frequencies. Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) using new satellite systems deployments are at various stages of implementation. For past few decades, Satellite systems have been offering global and regional connectivity and IP access largely through Geostationary (GEO) space-based network platforms. Past few years have witnessed an exponential growth in the launch and deployments of high throughput GEO, Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellite systems. This wider and renewed interest in the integrated terrestrial and satellite systems is largely due to exponential growth in data traffic, M2M (Machine-to-Machine) communications, and emerging Internet of Things (IoT) with 5G/6G applications. Convergence between space based and terrestrial networks with flexible, on-demand data transfers between satellite and terrestrial network nodes is an emerging trend in telecom networks. This presentation will focus on technology and system drivers, capacity enhancements using narrow band spot beams and frequency reuses, flexible signal routing in the emerging 5G/ 6G telecom <a href="http://networks.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="networks.Speaker(s):">networks.Speaker(s): Prof. Ramesh GuptaAgenda: Refreshments will be <a href="http://provided.Room:" target="_blank" title="provided.Room:">provided.Room: 7-395, Bldg: DICE, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Abstract: Hybrid quantum systems offer a promising platform to study quantum phenomena that benefit from the individual strengths of their components. A new emerging hybrid quantum platform composed of spin-doped solid noble gas crystals and superconducting resonators. The noble gas crystals offer a soft, inert, predominantly spin-0 host matrix for the atomic impurities, while the alkali atoms have addressable hyperfine transitions in the GHz regime. In my talk, I will present this novel platform and demonstrate how to reach the strong coupling regime between the impurity ensemble and the superconducting resonator at mK temperatures for efficient coherent information exchange. I will also show coherence time measurements proving its suitability for quantum applications. At the end of my talk, I will discuss how this unique architecture can be used for exploring fundamental quantum effects and new <a href="http://technologies.Co-sponsored" target="_blank" title="technologies.Co-sponsored">technologies.Co-sponsored by: Prof. Nicolas QuesadaSpeaker(s): ElenaJ.

Analog/RF IC design has been traditionally considered an art – sometimes even a “black art” – because, contrary to digital IC design, analog/RF design combines complexity, non-linearity, conflicting design objectives and limited automation in EDA tooling. Analog/RF IC designers rely on a blend of technical expertise, intuition, accumulated experience, and creativity to meet the demanding targets of modern applications like high operating frequencies, low power, miniaturization, and shrinking design <a href="http://cycles.In" target="_blank" title="cycles.In">cycles.In this webinar you will learn about the revolutionary AI-driven electromagnetic-aware methodology that automates the optimization of the floor plan of analog and RF physical layouts.

Functional Programming is a programming style that is different from the more well-known Structured Programming or Object-Oriented Programming style. Functional Programming relies exclusively on functions as first-class citizens, which means that they are treated like any other values, and they can be passed around as arguments or returned from other functions. Modern applications that involves highly concurrent computing on multicore machines face a big challenge with the machines' "state". All imperative languages, including object-oriented languages, involve multiple threads changing the shared state of objects. This is where deadlocks, stack traces, and low-level processor cache misses all take place. If there is no state, there is no problem. In this workshop, we will explore the principles of Functional Programming and how we can implement those concepts in Java so as to build massively parallel applications in the field of Big <a href="http://Data.Pre-requisite:" target="_blank" title="Data.Pre-requisite:">Data.Pre-requisite: Knowledge of Java ProgrammingSpeaker(s): Kin-Choong Yow, Agenda: - What is Functional Programming?-Implementing Function Programming Concepts with Java· Introduction to lambda expressions· Manipulating Collections· Strings and Comparators· Lazy Evaluation· Tail-call Optimization· Functional Composition- ExercisesRoom: ED 485.1, Bldg: Education Building, University of Regina, 3737 Wascana Parkway, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, S4S 0A2, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/490436
