Abstract:This talk presents recent advances in WiFi sensing for human activity recognition (HAR), demonstrating how existing wireless communication infrastructure can be leveraged as a powerful sensing modality. By exploiting Channel State Information (CSI) readily available in commodity WiFi devices, it is possible to infer both large-scale and fine-grained human activities without requiring wearable sensors or dedicated hardware. The presentation begins with an overview of the emerging paradigm of Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC), including developments such as IEEE 802.11bf and future 6G systems, where communication signals are repurposed for environmental sensing. It then introduces signal processing techniques for extracting meaningful features from CSI, including time-frequency analysis and Doppler-based representations that capture motion dynamics. A key contribution discussed in the talk is the use of lightweight and scalable machine learning approaches, such as random convolutional kernels and deep neural networks, for efficient end-to-end activity <a href="http://recognition.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="recognition.Speaker(s):">recognition.Speaker(s): Professor Shahrokh Valaee, Room: EV003-309, Bldg: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department EV, Concordia University, 1515 Ste.

We are living through one of the most profound shifts in the digital era. Not long ago, cybersecurity was about protecting systems, and privacy was about protecting data. Today, artificial intelligence is redefining both - shaping decisions, influencing behavior, and operating at a scale we’ve never seen <a href="http://before.What" target="_blank" title="before.What">before.What was once three separate conversations - cybersecurity, privacy, and regulation - is now rapidly converging into <a href="http://one.And" target="_blank" title="one.And">one.And this convergence is creating a new reality: one where risk is no longer just technical, compliance is no longer just legal, and trust is no longer assumed - it must be <a href="http://engineered.This" target="_blank" title="engineered.This">engineered.This presentation explores what this convergence means for organizations, for regulators, and for leaders - and why those who fail to adapt won’t just fall behind… they will lose trust in a world that depends on <a href="http://it.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="it.Speaker(s):">it.Speaker(s): Kay OlokeAgenda: 7:00PM - Introduction of IEEE Hamilton Section7:15PM - Presentation8:00PM - Q&A8:15PM - RefreshmentsRoom: Community Room 2, Bldg: Sixteen Miles Sports Complex, 3070 Neyagawa Blvd,, Oakville,, Ontario, Canada, L6M 0P4

The annual IEEE Ottawa Robotics Competition encourages students from Grades 4 to 12 to develop an early interest in science, technology, and engineering. In teams, students will design and build an autonomous robot using LEGO® EV3 or Arduino kits to compete in a full day event filled with exciting challenges. In addition, teams will be judged on a presentation documenting their design <a href="http://process.Please" target="_blank" title="process.Please">process.Please only complete this form if you wish to pay via online payment, if you wish to pay by cheque please do complete this <a href="http://form.Please" target="_blank" title="form.Please">form.Please complete the supervisor and team google forms found on orc.ieeeottawa.ca regardless of submitting this form.

IEEE WIE AG Schenectady is going to organize WIE Distinguished Lecture (virtual webinar) on "Human System Engineering Initiatives: From Human Views to Human Readiness Levels" on 5 June 2026, Friday, 12-1 pm EDT. The speaker is Holly A. H. Handley, PhD, PE, the Interim Dean of the Interdisciplinary Schools and a Professor in the Engineering Management and System Engineering Department of Old Dominion University (ODU).This talk discusses the role of Human System Engineering within the System Engineering discipline. It describes two initiatives that are enabling better integration of humans and systems. The Human Views comprise a system architecture viewpoint that provides a perspective on the human roles, activities, and information flows required by a complex system. The Human Readiness Levels assess the degree to which human-focused requirements are incorporated into design decisions and the readiness of a system to interact with its human operator. Together these two efforts encourage System Engineering for the total system by supporting a comprehensive integration of the human component into the systems engineering effort, which is critical to the design, development, and operation of successful systems. Current standards and applications of both initiatives will be <a href="http://included.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="included.Speaker(s):">included.Speaker(s): Holly HandleyVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/550987
