[] Join us for a reading of a talk by CM Jansky, Jr "who was a participant at many conferences dealing with radio regulations, broadcast planning, and radio navigation and sea rescue. He became a member of the Institute of Radio Engineers (now the Institute of Electrical and Electronic engineers) in 1918, being made a Fellow Member in 1928. He was President of the Institute in 1934 and a member of its Board of Directors from 1929 to 1942. He was senior partner of the firm Jansky and Bailey, consulting radio engineers, of Washington, D.C." "Karl Guthe Jansky died in Red Bank, New Jersey in February, 1950 at the age of forty-four. In the trying period that followed his death I told the members of his family that his contribution to basic science was such that the full value of his discovery would not be recognized for at least half a century. How wrong can a man be! Here just six years later I found myself before a group of astronomers, physicists and radio engineers far more competent that I, viewing with amazement the progress which has taken place in recent years in a new branch of astronomy based upon a scientific discovery made by a man I am proud to say was my brother."

IEEE Workshop on Network Automation, March 25th, 2024 (free virtual event) Network Disaggregation and Network Softwarization are revolutionizing the design, deployment, management, and operation of networks. The objective of Network Automation is to enable Service Providers to achieve "Zero Touch Provisioning" throughout the entire network, encompassing physical and virtual domains across Transport and Data Center Networks. The growing maturity of cloud technologies, coupled with the adoption of open-source software and DevOps/GitOps principles, is fostering an Open End-to-End Network Automation framework. Intent-based Networking is driving the demand for increased Network abstraction, while Network Slicing, particularly in the context of 5G, necessitates automation support at the granular level of Slices. Furthermore, Service Providers are harnessing Artificial Intelligence, including the latest advancements in Generative AI, to plan, deploy, configure, orchestrate, analyze, and assure mobile networks and services. This simultaneously enhances Network efficiency, reduces operating costs, and improves both service quality and customer experience. Underpinning these advancements, the IEEE Workshop on Network Automation is uniting leading experts from communication service providers, telco vendors, software service providers, open-source network automation projects, industry consortiums, and academia. They convene to discuss the latest technical innovations, opportunities, and challenges in Network Automation. Co-sponsored by IEEE Communications Society and IEEE Princeton Central Jersey Section, this single-day workshop offers a unique platform for Architects, Developers, Testers, Business Leaders, students, and researchers to gain insights into the evolving landscape of Network Automation technologies, deployment use cases, business models, and engage with industry experts.

The ECE Students from UMU will be participating in a technical visit to Foxconn. Below is a copy of the email sent by a representative from Foxconn to promote the visit. We are presently building electric tractors for a company named Monarch. We are also in negotiations with several manufacturers regarding new business opportunities. These are all related to Electric Vehicle manufacturing. Some of these products are ride share vehicles. Others are midsize and full-size delivery vehicles. In our body shop, we build the entire cab of the vehicle from steel and aluminum parts. We place the parts in custom designed mechanical fixtures. We use welding robots to automatically weld the parts together. Then material handling robots pick up the new assembly and move it to the next automation station. The next station may automatically dispense adhesive or sealer under robot control. Then more parts may be added, and more welding takes place. All the robotic welding and sealing is coordinated by Allen Bradley PLCs that communicate to the robots, weld controllers and sealant systems. We need: - Mechanical engineers to design and analyze fixture details and subassembly dimensions. - Controls engineers to write and adjust PLC programs to control the automation. - Electrical engineers to design and maintain the control circuits and safety systems. - Computer Engineers to design, program and maintain the vision systems, data collection equipment and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). - Industrial engineers to design, analyze and improve the production processes.

The term “Artificial Intelligence” was coined by John McCarthy in 1956 to attract more attention to the planned Computer Science Conference at Dartmouth. Ever since, the society expected someday machines will do the manual labor and thinking for us and we will live in a society of leisure surrounded by unlimited number of “Machine-Servants.” Even after 68 years, we have not realized that Utopian Society. We may be closer than ever, but we are not there, and may never be. If we examine the history of science and technology, we will realize mere invention of a technology will not automatically improve the society. Machines that can do what we do must be invented before the promise of the inventions could be fully realized. Invention of steam engine did not automatically benefit farmers until machines like tractor and harvester were developed. Invention of electricity didn’t automatically impact society until the lightbulb, motors, etc. were developed. Recent developments in Generative AI and the possibility of developing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) has led to wild speculations on the future of society. In this talk I will discuss the concept of Knowledge Advantage and how it could be exploited by Knowledge Workers using Personal Knowledge Advantage Machines that are within reach.

[] Abstract: More than 80% consumer Internet traffic is for videos and most of them are recorded videos. Meanwhile, many organizations (such as national parks, vacation resorts, departments of transportation) provide real-time visual data (images or videos). These videos allow Internet users to observe events remotely. This speech explains how to discover real-time visual data on the Internet. The discovery process uses a crawler to reach many web pages. The information on these web pages are analyzed to identify candidates of real-time data. The data is downloaded multiple times over an extended time period; changes are detected to determine whether it is likely to provide real-time data. The data can be used during an emergency. For example, viewers may check whether a street is flooded and cannot pass. It is also possible using the data to observe long-term trends, such as how people react to movement restrictions during the COVID pandemic.
