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

[]Radio Access Networks (RAN) have traditionally been vertically integrated systems, where single vendors provided tightly coupled hardware and software stacks. These systems, though highly optimized, were often over-provisioned for worst-case scenarios, resulting in inefficiencies across real-world deployments. The transition to 5G—and the upcoming demands of 6G—has introduced a wider variety of deployment scenarios and performance requirements. This evolution is driving the need for more dynamic, scalable, and adaptable RAN architectures that can respond in real time to changing network conditions. Key drivers such as energy efficiency, accelerated feature rollouts, varied cell types, and the integration of AI are pushing the RAN to <a href="http://evolve.To" target="_blank" title="evolve.To">evolve.To address these demands, industry groups like the O-RAN Alliance and AI-RAN Alliance are promoting open, cloud-native RAN solutions built on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware. These efforts aim to disaggregate the traditional RAN stack and embrace modern cloud technologies. In this talk, we will explore the rationale behind Cloud RAN, examine the major industry trends and architectural shifts underway, and discuss the challenges faced in this transformation. We’ll also look ahead at how these innovations may define the future of wireless <a href="http://infrastructure.The" target="_blank" title="infrastructure.The">infrastructure.The talk will cover the following topics:- Cloud RAN Basics- The general concept of virtualizing the RAN- Industry Trends- Things like Cloud RAN market share and telco commitments, hardware and cloud platform players, and so <a href="http://on.-" target="_blank" title="on.-">on.- Transformation of RAN- Areas where the traditional RAN is transforming and how Cloud RAN is a part of <a href="http://that.-" target="_blank" title="that.-">that.- Things like O-RAN, automation, AI RAN, 6G.- Challenges- Historical, current, and and future challenges- Big picture prediction of the <a href="http://future.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="future.Speaker(s):">future.Speaker(s): Michael RogerVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/489062

With rising demands, UAV systems are increasingly expected to achieve higher levels of autonomy. Model predictive control (MPC), an advanced control methodology that leverages online optimization, provides notable advantages such as optimal performance, efficient handling of multivariable systems, and explicit constraint management, making it a promising solution for UAV control challenges. However, ensuring closed-loop performance with manageable computational demands remains challenging due to the highly nonlinear dynamics of UAVs and the computational complexity of <a href="http://MPC.This" target="_blank" title="MPC.This">MPC.This talk introduces a Lyapunov-based MPC framework designed specifically to address these challenges, offering stabilized and computationally efficient MPC strategies tailored for UAV applications. Applications of this framework, including trajectory tracking and formation control, will be demonstrated to illustrate its effectiveness. Additionally, the integration of this framework with other Lyapunov-based control techniques for handling unexpected actuator faults and communication disruptions will be discussed, highlighting its potential to further enhance UAV operational efficiency and <a href="http://reliability.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="reliability.Speaker(s):">reliability.Speaker(s): Binyan Xu, Ph.D., Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/487504

Title:Recent Accomplishments of Metasurfaces towards High Frequency ApplicationsAbstract:Metasurface structures, being ultra-thin in nature has been emerged as applications for various frequency selective surfaces viz., absorber, polarizer, filter, phase-shifter etc. In metasurface based absorbing structures, several sorts of array of metallic patches are designed over a metal-backed dielectric material. The incorporation of metal at the bottom side prohibits the transmission of electromagnetic wave incident to the structure. A number of structures have been proposed over wide band of frequencies ranging from microwave to optical and so forth. Polarization converting structures have also been proposed using metasurface-based designs. In all these designs, asymmetry has been introduced in the unit cell so that the structure is chiral in nature. Both transmittive as well as reflective-type polarization conversion structures using metasurface designs have been reported till date. Very recently, graphene layer has been introduced in the metasurface-based designs to achieve tenability as well as enhancement of bandwidth. By control of applied chemical potential and electrical grating, the plasmonic response of the graphene can be modulated in order to achieve tunability over a wide frequency of incidence. Graphene layer has been incorporated in the unit cell of metasurface to generate wideband tunable <a href="http://applications.Bio:Somak" target="_blank" title="applications.Bio:Somak">applications.Bio:Somak Bhattacharyya has received his PhD degree in 2015 from(https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.iitk.ac.in%2F&data=05%7C02%7Chanieh.kianiamiri%40mail.utoronto.ca%7C24979b393d2b4c56268108ddb5c073a0%7C78aac2262f034b4d9037b46d56c55210%7C0%7C0%7C638866560385358160%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=lwN%2F7vkV2fQRFW4LbqknjnQnSdm4eldOfK7UGKgGQEg%3D&reserved=0), India.
