With the implementation and wide application of related tools such as ChatGPT and Sora, people realized that seeing is indeed no longer believing. More recently, the emergence of diffusion models with powerful generation capabilities has driven this topic forward. Subsequently, as the powerful tools for deepfake generation, corresponding detection technologies continuously evolved hence raising more security concerns of the public. This talk will discuss the development of multimedia forensics and focus on researching four representative deepfake fields: face swapping/face reenactment, talking face generation, and facial attribute editing, as well as forgery and deepfake detection and will finally analyze the challenges and future research directions of the discussed fields.

Abstract: In this talk, we focus on the recent developments toward integrated sensing and communications (ISAC). We consider a broad definition of coexistence, which covers ISAC, collaborative communications, and sensing with interference. Toward fully realizing the coexistence of the two systems, optimization of resources for both new/futuristic sensing and wireless communications modalities is crucial. These synergistic approaches that exploit the interplay between state sensing and communications are both driving factors and opportunities for many current signal processing and information-theoretic techniques. In addition, a large body of prior works considers collocated ISAC systems while distributed systems remain relatively unexamined. Building on the existing approaches, the tutorial focuses on highlighting emerging scenarios in collaborative and distributed ISAC, particularly at mm-Wave and THz frequencies, highly dynamic vehicular/automotive environments that would benefit from information exchange between the two systems. It presents the architectures and possible methodologies for mutually beneficial distributed co-existence and co-design, including sensor fusion and heterogeneously distributed radar and communications. The tutorial also considers recent developments such as the deployment of intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS) in ISAC, 5G systems, passive internet-of-things, and ISAC secrecy rate optimization. This tutorial aims to draw the attention of the radar, communications, and signal processing communities toward an emerging area, which can benefit from the cross-fertilization of ideas in distributed systems.

Although it is very eco-friendly, growth in the wind turbine industry is slowing down. Today’s wind farms generally employ Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWTs), but their construction involves the major logistical feat of transporting huge blades (as long as 118 meters) to locations that are often remote. However, as HAWTs cannot handle the most turbulent air, they must be placed high above the ground and far apart from one another.

Promising research out of CalTech, Stanford, and other universities predicts that Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs), which are placed less than 100 feet above the ground in wind farms under existing HAWTs, will create synergies such that the overall energy output from their simultaneous operation is greater than what each would produce on its own.

Our speaker Kevin Wolf co-founded Wind Harvest International, a new company intending to introduce VAWTs. Their latest prototype has been able to operate in turbulent conditions at the UL test facility in Texas and achieve Technology Readiness Level 7. Core to this turbine’s success is its use of a VAWT aeroelastic engineering model validated using an earlier prototype’s field data. Out of this earlier experience, the engineering team came up with nine new inventions, including an innovative hinge design that is critical for the 70-year predicted fatigue life life based on a typical 15 million rotations per year.

Come to this event and learn about this innovative technology that could revive the wind turbine industry.

With the prosperity of edge computing, massive users and devices at the network edge are more actively involved in the networks, pushing the information collection, computation, storage, and communications more towards end users. In these more decentralized systems, how to enable efficient and trustworthy interactions among different parties becomes an essential issue. 

Blockchain has been considered as a promising approach to facilitate the establishment of decentralized trustworthy computing systems with non-repudiated information records. For example, Bitcoin has attracted wide attention as a secure and decentralized platform to enable peer-to-peer exchanges of digital currency. Ethereum then generalizes blockchain as a state machine and enables smart contracts, a piece of code that can support complex logic and be self-executed when certain conditions are met. Such generalization enables blockchain to potentially serve as a computing infrastructure and opens new opportunities for blockchain to facilitate secure and decentralized interactions among any parties without making high trust assumptions about them.

In this talk, we will discuss some key characteristics of blockchain and a few promising applications of blockchain that can facilitate security and trust among multiple parties. Some examples include designing a secure and efficient multi-signature scheme to facilitate multi-party approval process on Fabric, an enterprise blockchain platform; applying blockchain to secure software updates for resource-constrained IoT networks; and to facilitate fair trading in transactive energy market.

Our speaker this month will be Micah Rolfe of PdM Specialists. He will be talking about maintaining and improving lab machinery for accuracy, reliability and longevity. Both EMC and Product Safety use large equipment for performing tests, and knowing how and why equipment performance degrades over time can greatly impact how we budget for and approach equipment maintenance, as well as a framework on what to plan for future installations of new equipment. 

The discovery, then invention, of the transistor sits almost exactly midway between Ferdinand Braun’s discovery of solid-state rectification in 1874 and the modern era of gigascale ICs. As with other epoch-shattering inventions, the story of the transistor isn’t quite as neatly linear as some recountings might suggest. Very few EEs have ever heard of Mervin Kelly, although we all owe our jobs to him. This talk will try to right that wrong, as well as answer questions such as, “What really led Bob Noyce to create the planar integrated circuit?” Retracing some of the steps of the pioneers generates important insights into the nature of innovation, and teaches us valuable lessons about the critical role of a very few visionaries and how “the will to think” can allow luck to prevail. As the 75th (+ epsilon) anniversary of the transistor dovetails with the end of lithographic scaling, we find ourselves on the threshold of a major technological discontinuity. Studying the story of previous ones just might provide us with our best guide to the next.

The IRS’ definition of R&D and industry’s definition of R&D differ. A large majority of R&D performed in the US is done in the private sector, rather than done by universities and the work that qualifies for R&D Tax Credits is much broader (and more lucrative) than you would think. The program that pays for this R&D work is the Research Tax Credit, which is administered by the IRS. This presentation, R&D Tax Credits for Engineers and Scientists, is a high level basic primer that will teach you what type of R&D work that you already do qualifies for the credit and the general steps required to present your work successfully to the IRS.

Title: Advancing Network Sustainability - Challenges and Solution Approaches

Reducing humankind’s carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions to slow climate change is one of humanity’s Grand Challenges. Communication networks play a key role in addressing that challenge, enabling applications that reduce the need for physical travel as well as solutions that optimize efficiency of resource and energy usage. Examples range from teleworking to remote operations, from smarter agriculture to more energy-efficient factory floors. However, for all their benefits, networks also have a significant environmental footprint themselves that collectively rivals that of entire countries. It is thus becoming important to make networks themselves "greener" and devise solutions that allow networks to be operated in ways that make them more sustainable while continuing to meet increasing traffic demands and service requirements.
Many of today’s network sustainability improvements relate to general advances in energy efficiency of computing hardware as well as in transmission technology (antennas, lasers). While this is where arguably the biggest opportunities lie, the question arises regarding the role that other layers in the networking stack can play in advancing network sustainability. For example, can data planes be designed in ways that make them inherently more energy-efficient? What protocol advances might enable greener networking solutions? How can networks be optimized not just for QoS or utilization but for carbon and what novel tools are needed to operate networks more sustainably? How can we even properly account for energy usage and other sustainability parameters to be optimized? In which ways can network programmability, faster control loops, and AI- or intent-based networking help?
This presentation will provide a brief introduction into network sustainability and discuss some of the key challenges that solutions need to address. A number of solution approaches will be presented and opportunities for further research and engagement on this topic pointed out. The presentation will draw on some of the activities that are currently taking place in the IETF and the Internet Architecture Board's E-Impact program.

For the past 25 years, there has been a growing worldwide interest in monitoring the ongoing "health" of complex software/hardware products and systems, in order to maintain operational quality, predict failures and provide warnings to avoid catastrophic failures.  Today, the application of system ‘health’ monitoring -- also referred to as 'prognostics' --  is well established for a wide variety of complex systems, and has now become known worldwide by the acronym, 'PHM' for 'Prognostics and Health Management.' 

For a closer look at ICPHM 2024, and to appreciate the breadth of the complex systems topics covered, see the conference website:  https://phmconf.org

Join us Monday night June 17th from 7PM to 8PM at UH/Manoa Holmes Engineering Building room #244 for a seminar presentation by Dr PR. Chidambaram, Vice President of Engineering at Qualcomm.  His talk title is "Semiconductor Challenges For Edge Artificial Intelligence Adoption". 

Abstract:  Edge AI will drive the growth of the consumer electronics industry in the next few years.  We will take a look at some of the edge AI systems and what are some of the key semiconductor implementation challenges to address the edge AI systems.  Lack of leading CMOS scaling, memory band width demands and connectivity challenges will be addressed.

Distributed Vertical Power Delivery for High-Performance Computing Systems

High-performance computing plays a key role in supporting the advancement of modern and emerging high-power applications. With the advent of 2.5D and 3D packaging solutions, systems that consume tens of kilowatts of power become viable. Considering the high current and power density requirements in these systems, the path forward with traditional power delivery approaches is, however, unsustainable with respect to energy efficiency and thermal challenges. In response to these challenges, vertical power delivery has emerged as a promising solution to address the unprecedented power loss encountered in high-performance computing systems at the package level. With this approach, high-power is distributed through package-level networks at a low current and converted with power-efficient converters in close horizontal proximity to the functional dies/chiplets. As a result, the distribution of high-current power is limited to short vertical interconnect between the converters and points-of-load, mitigating power loss and thermal challenges. While vertical power delivery is a promising approach to manage high-current high-density power, how to distribute the active and passive power converter components around the periphery and on the backside of functional dies/chiplets and how to efficiently convert power within limited footprint near points-of-load are topics of active research. Package-to-die power delivery architectures and design methodologies, power circuits for efficient power conversion, and vertically-stacked, highly dense and efficient passive components is the key for enabling high-performance computing. This talk will explore these issues in detail and investigate possible ways to mitigate the existing power delivery challenges in the context of high-performance computing.
