Join us for a virtual event organized by the IEEE Computer Society Chapter!Title: MetaSwarmX: Decentralized Swarms of Swarms of Heterogeneous AgentsSummary: As robotics technology continues to innovate large collections of robotic agents have become more sophisticated and accessible leading to their use in both civilian and military applications. Many of these applications treat the collection as a multi-robot system that is controlled in a centralized fashion, which can be useful and have many applications but this isn't swarm robotics. The MetaSwarmX project aims to develop algorithms that can be used for swarms of swarms (a MetaSwarm) of heterogeneous robots solving problems without human intervention in a decentralized and scalable fashion. These algorithms will be built with civilian applications in mind as a means to develop novel applications with this emergent technology. The subject of swarm intelligence, the emergent technology, the potential of the robots, and the goals and status of the MetaSwarmX project will be <a href="http://discussed.---------------------------------------------------------------Bibliography:" target="_blank" title="discussed.---------------------------------------------------------------Bibliography:">discussed.---------------------------------------------------------------Bibliography: Dr. Michael Dubé studied novel representations for evolutionary algorithms with applications to epidemic modelling and biological sequence discovery completing his PhD in Bioinformatics and MSc in Computer Science in Canada.

The global shift toward sustainable electrification—driven by electric mobility and renewable energy integration—is increasing the demand for high-performance battery systems that deliver efficiency, long life, safety, and sustainability. A key enabler of this progress is the Battery Management System (BMS). In particular, advanced cell and pack balancing has become essential for maintaining performance and safety in the presence of natural cell-to-cell variations in lithium-ion and emerging battery <a href="http://chemistries.In" target="_blank" title="chemistries.In">chemistries.In this webinar, Dr. Oshnoei will present state-of-the-art balancing methods, including distributed and modular BMS architectures that enhance scalability, as well as advanced BMS platforms designed to manage cell health under diverse operating conditions.

Integrated QoS, Energy-Aware Traffic Engineering, and Weather-Resilient Optical Downlink Scheduling for LEO Satellite NetworksAbstract:Low Earth orbit (LEO) mega-constellations are becoming a key component of the future Internet, offering global coverage and supporting applications with diverse performance requirements. Managing traffic in these dynamic networks requires approaches that consider routing, quality of service (QoS), energy efficiency, and environmental factors. Advances in QoS-aware routing, green segment-routed traffic engineering, and weather-resilient optical downlink scheduling show how LEO systems can better adapt to variable loads, heterogeneous QoS demands, and adverse conditions. We divide the presentations in three parts focusing on QoS-driven, energy-aware, and weather-resilient traffic management in LEO satellite networks as follows:Part I: Topology-Aware and QoS-Driven Traffic Management in LEO Satellite NetworksPart II: Green Traffic Engineering for Satellite Networks using SRv6, Flex-Algo, and SDNPart III: Optical Downlink Scheduling in Adverse Weather Conditions for Delay-Tolerant Sparse Satellite <a href="http://Constellations.------------------------------------------------------------------------Qualité" target="_blank" title="Constellations.------------------------------------------------------------------------Qualité">Constellations.------------------------------------------------------------------------Qualité de service intégrée, ingénierie du trafic écoénergétique et planification de la liaison descendante optique résistante aux intempéries pour les réseaux de satellites LEORésumé:Les méga-constellations en orbite terrestre basse (LEO) deviennent un élément clé de l’Internet du futur, offrant une couverture mondiale et prenant en charge des applications aux exigences de performance variées. La gestion du trafic dans ces réseaux dynamiques nécessite des approches qui prennent en compte le routage, la qualité de service (QoS), l’efficacité énergétique et les facteurs environnementaux. Les progrès réalisés en matière de routage prenant en compte la QoS, d’ingénierie du trafic par segments verts et de planification des liaisons descendantes optiques résistantes aux intempéries montrent comment les systèmes LEO peuvent mieux s’adapter aux charges variables, aux exigences de QoS hétérogènes et aux conditions difficiles.
