Anomaly detection and prediction typically require extensive domain knowledge to develop tools capable of automatically identifying or forecasting anomalous events or behaviors in IoT systems. These systems—particularly those within Public Transportation Networks—often consist of devices with diverse capabilities, functions, and operational lifespans, making the detection of rare anomalies especially challenging. Moreover, establishing domain expertise and collecting a sufficient number of data points for anomaly detection is frequently time-consuming and <a href="http://costly.Virtual:" target="_blank" title="costly.Virtual:">costly.Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/481954

An AI-Enabled Testbed for Satellite Mega-Constellations: From Simulator to Networks Innovation AcceleratorAbstract:Private companies are deploying satellite mega-constellations to deliver low-latency, high-throughput Internet access across the globe. Enabled by inter-satellite optical links and onboard processing, these constellations support resource-sharing networks capable of meeting diverse quality of service (QoS) requirements. However, traditional routing protocols and software-defined networking (SDN) architectures, originally designed for the relatively stable conditions of terrestrial networks, are not well suited to the dynamic nature of space environments. Furthermore, the absence of realistic experimentation platforms limits the development and validation of innovative <a href="http://solutions.To" target="_blank" title="solutions.To">solutions.To support the advancement of next-generation satellite network solutions, we have developed an AI-enabled testbed for satellite mega-constellations at Carleton University, in collaboration with NRC, DRDC, and MDA Space. This talk presents an overview of the testbed and its capabilities to model, configure, and evaluate satellite constellations, with a focus on QoS-aware routing, resilience to weather disruptions, and SDN-based <a href="http://architectures.------------------------------------------------------------------------Un" target="_blank" title="architectures.------------------------------------------------------------------------Un">architectures.------------------------------------------------------------------------Un banc d’essai activé par l’IA pour les méga-constellations de satellites : du simulateur à l’accélérateur d’innovation en réseauxRésumé:Des entreprises privées déploient des méga-constellations de satellites afin d’offrir un accès Internet à faible latence et à haut débit partout dans le monde. Grâce aux liaisons optiques inter-satellites et au traitement embarqué, ces constellations permettent la mise en place de réseaux à partage de ressources capables de répondre à des exigences variées en matière de qualité de service (QoS). Toutefois, les protocoles de routage traditionnels et les architectures de réseaux définis par logiciel (SDN), initialement conçus pour les conditions relativement stables des réseaux terrestres, ne sont pas adaptés à la nature dynamique de l’environnement spatial. De plus, l’absence de plateformes expérimentales réalistes freine le développement et la validation de solutions <a href="http://novatrices.Pour" target="_blank" title="novatrices.Pour">novatrices.Pour soutenir l’avancement des solutions de réseaux satellites de nouvelle génération, nous avons développé un banc d’essai activé par l’intelligence artificielle (IA) pour les méga-constellations de satellites à l’Université Carleton, en collaboration avec le CNRC, RDDC et MDA Space.

Silicon photonics are the semiconductor integration of EIC and PIC on a silicon substrate (wafer) with complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. On the other hand, co-packaged optics (CPO) are heterogeneous integration packaging methods to integrate the optical engine (OE) which consists of photonic ICs (PIC) and the electrical engine (EE) which consists of the electronic ICs (EIC) as well as the switch ASIC (application specific IC). The advantages of CPO are: (a) to reduce the length of the electrical interface between the OE/EE (or PIC/EIC) and the ASIC, (b) to reduce the energy required to drive the signal, and (c) to cut the latency which leads to better electrical performance. In the next few years, we will see more implementations of a higher level of heterogeneous integration of PIC and EIC, whether it is for performance, form factor, power consumption or cost.

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which will celebrate its 90th anniversary in 2026, is at the forefront of building instruments for NASA missions. NASA’s mission has always been to explore the universe and our own planet Earth from space. This includes robotics missions like Voyager, which continues its journey beyond our solar system, missions to Mars and other planets, and astrophysics missions exploring stars and <a href="http://galaxies.The" target="_blank" title="galaxies.The">galaxies.The selection of NASA missions is driven by fundamental science questions, and the development of innovative instruments to answer these questions.

AbstractAutonomous systems are increasingly pervasive, capable, and complex—but behind every such system lie one or more feedback loops that shape how it senses, decides, and acts. Control theory has guided feedback design for decades, yet modern systems now expose the limits of its model-based foundations. The models it relies on are frequently inaccessible, inaccurate, or too rigid to fully exploit today’s data, storage, and computational resources. This talk explores a modeling approach grounded in behavioral systems theory, where systems are defined not by equations but by the set of trajectories they exhibit. The structure—or “shape”—of this set determines not only its mathematical properties but, crucially, also its tractability, governing the analytical and algorithmic tools suitable for analysis and design. I will show how this framework offers a principled bridge between parametric and non-parametric representations, enabling scalable, adaptive, and certifiable control in real-world settings—from fault detection in building automation systems, to certification in algorithmic pipelines, to large-scale control in urban traffic networks. I will conclude by outlining emerging directions and open challenges, including nonlinear and distributed dynamics, uncertainty quantification, and architectural <a href="http://considerations.Co-sponsored" target="_blank" title="considerations.Co-sponsored">considerations.Co-sponsored by: nagamune@<a href="http://mech.ubc.caSpeaker(s):" target="_blank" title="mech.ubc.caSpeaker(s):">mech.ubc.caSpeaker(s): Alberto , Agenda: Agenda:Gathering: 3:45pm - 4:00pmTalk followed by Q&A: 4pm - 5:30pmRoom: 1203, Bldg: CEME , UBC Point Grey Campus, 6250 Applied Science Lane, Vancouver , British Columbia, Canada, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/479975

Abstract: Spectral-temporal modes of quantum light have been recognized as a promising platform for quantum information processing (QIP) and metrology . However, a simple general tool for efficient conversion between spectral-temporal modes is still missing. A phase-only, i.e. in-principle lossless, approach is required for quantum light. I will show that transformations between spectral-temporal modes can be realized by a single application of arbitrary temporal phase modulation and a single application of arbitrary spectral phase modulation. The required arbitrary phases can be found by means of the well-known phase retrieval algorithm, such as the Gerchberg-Saxton algorithm. We apply machine learning-based optimization to find slowly varying phases, opening the way to experimental implementation using wide-bandwidth electro-optic phase modulation . I will also discuss strategies to detect temporal properties of short single-photon optical pulses . M. Karpiński, A. O. C. Davis, F. Sośnicki, V. Thiel, B. J.

More than 100 years ago, scientists invented a mobile image receiver to take pictures anywhere. More than 30 years ago, engineersinvented a Mobile Communication Transceiver to make phone calls anywhere. 8 years ago, at the MARIE Collaborative Research Center, webegan researching a Mobile Material Transceiver to map surface and subsurface materials anywhere. Now, in the final phase ending in 2028,we want to realize the vision of Mapping Materials for Dynamic Environments. All of the necessary breakthrough inventions are based onmajor technological advances that will allow us to move successively from electronic, photonic, and micromechanical components throughintegrated circuits to compact mobile devices. Following these steps, we aim to greatly extend the benefits of today's static and bulky materialscharacterization systems to mobile materials transceivers. This will lead to significant innovations in a wide range of societal applications: mobile detection of the source of a fire or of unconscious people in a burning building, rapid detection of cables and artifacts inside a wall, or, in general, autonomous creation of material maps, e.g. for localization and classification of objects in arbitrary indoor and outdoor environments. The talk will present the structure of MARIE, the main results and the goal for the last four years until its end in 2028.Co-sponsored by: StaracomSpeaker(s): , Thomas Kaiser Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/481946
