[] Discussion about Delaware Bay Computer Chapter, Meeting, & Lecture "Geniuses at War" with Guest Speaker David Bondurant. There will be a discussion about the vitality, activities, and officers of the Delaware Bay Computer Chapter, followed by a Guest Speaker. Following the exploits of the motley collection of geniuses installed at Bletchley Park during the Second World War, author David Price focuses mainly on the events and people involved in the invention of Colossus—the first programmable, electronic, digital computer, which was designed to break the German army’s Lorenz cipher. Speaker Bio: David Bondurant has been involved with the computer and semiconductor industry for 50-years. He was a computer architect at Control Data, Sperry-Univac, and Honeywell. He was involved with the government-sponsored advanced semiconductor program called VHSIC (Very High Speed Integrated Circuits) at Univac & Honeywell where he developed microprocessor and ASIC semiconductor products in bipolar CML, CMOS, and radiation hard CMOS. He was involved with emerging non-volatile RAM marketing at industry leading companies, Ramtron (FRAM), Simtek (non-volatile SRAM), and Freescale Semiconductor/Everspin Technologies Agenda: Opening Remarks and Introductions Discussion about the Delaware Bay Computer Chapter Vitality, Officers, Meetings, Activities Guest Lecture "Geniuses at War" with Guest Speaker, David Bondurant Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/437478

This webinar is a collaboration between IEEE-USA and IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE). Trying to re-enter the workforce after an extended absence presents challenges, and can be a daunting task. Changes have happened in the workplace and in technologies used. The atmosphere and expectations may have changed (for example, the impacts COVID had on remote work for many jobs!) You have changed… and self-doubt may have crept in after being away! However, preparing in advance is the key to easing the challenges. In this talk, you will hear about my own return to work after 12 years of minimal part-time employment in my field, and also information from my own research into what experts recommend. You will learn: - What is an extended absence (and the impact of how long “extended” is!) - Why it is important to prepare for returning - When to start preparing - How to prepare - Who to seek out for support / assistance - Where to look for opportunities Speaker(s): Jill Gostin Agenda: IEEE-USA's free webinars/events are designed to help you find your next job, maintain your career, negotiate an appropriate salary, understand ethical considerations in the workplace and learn about other career-building strategies and public policy developments that affect your profession.

Distributed control is a classical research topic. While a rich theory is available, some assumptions such as availability of subsystem dynamics and topology and the subsystems following the prescribed controllers exactly have proven difficult to remove. An interesting direction in recent times to get away from these assumptions has been the utilization of learning for control. In this talk, we consider some problems in control design for distributed systems using learning. Our core message is that utilizing control-relevant properties in learning algorithms can not only guarantee concerns such as stability, performance, safety, and robustness that are important in control of physical systems, but also help with issues such as data sparsity and sample complexity that are concerns during the implementation of learning algorithms.

A major hurdle in developing next-generation systems for high-performance applications and industries that require handling large, secure data - such as System-in-Package (SiP) and System-on-Chip (SoC) - is the absence of low-latency, high-bandwidth, and high-density off-chip/chiplet/core interconnects. Achieving high-bandwidth chip-to-chip (or chiplet-to-chiplet) communication using electrical interconnects faces challenges like high substrate dielectric losses, reflections, impedance discontinuities, and susceptibility to crosstalk. This underscores the motivation to adopt photonics to address these challenges and enable low-latency, high-bandwidth communication. The objective is to develop a CMOS-compatible technology to support the next-generation photonic layer within 3D SiP/SoC, moving towards converged microsystems.
