Low Earth Orbiting Satellites – Opportunities and Challenges
Low-Earth orbiting (LEO) satellites are now providing broadband service to users around the world. But they face space congestion problems. Some satellites must steer around each other to avoid collisions. In addition, the LEO satellites must share radio spectrum with geosynchronous Earth-orbiting (GEO) satellites and, more interestingly, with each <a href="http://other.This" target="_blank" title="other.This">other.This presentation will touch on collision avoidance but will focus on beam steering and other ways that these satellites can efficiently share spectrum with each other. There are a variety of ways they can do this. Some require information sharing, but others do not. Our work at Carnegie Mellon is examining the effectiveness of various spectrum sharing <a href="http://methods.Co-sponsored" target="_blank" title="methods.Co-sponsored">methods.Co-sponsored by: Lin CaiRoom: 660, Bldg: ECS, University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, V8P 5C2
AI Governance in the Age of Autonomous and Agentic Systems.
AI is getting more autonomous, and that's both exciting and challenging. What happens when AI systems start making decisions on their own? Who's accountable when things go wrong? And how so we manage the risks without slowing down innovation? If you've been wondering about these questions, this session is for <a href="http://you.As" target="_blank" title="you.As">you.As someone working in AI agents and product development, I've been diving deep into AI governance frameworks to understand what's actually required. In this session, we'll explore the key concepts from AI governance - what makes AI different from traditional software, the risk-based approaches organizations are using, and what's happening in the regulatory landscape with frameworks like the NIST AI RMF and the EU AI <a href="http://Act.This" target="_blank" title="Act.This">Act.This session is for anyone curious about AI governance, and seeking to understand how to build AI systems responsibly - as it explores how organizations can manage risk, accountability, and oversight in increasingly autonomous and agent-driven AI <a href="http://systems.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="systems.Speaker(s):">systems.Speaker(s): SnehAgenda: 7:00PM - Introduction of IEEE Hamilton Section7:15PM - Presentation8:00PM - Q&A8:15PM - RefreshmentsRoom: Boardroom, Bldg: Queen Elizabeth Park Community and Cultural Centre, 2302 Bridge Rd,, Oakville,, Ontario, Canada, L6L 2G6
