Cyber Attack Detection and Quick Response Strategy With regard to online activities, one should really be aware of the existence of cyber threats, metaphorically described as some sort of 'digital enemies' that seek many ways to compromise our systems. In this regard, we go on to discuss the very important topic entitled "Cyber Attack Detection and Quick Response Strategy," concerning recognition of the potential threats such as phishing, malware, and DDoS attack, and understand ways to handle them. We are also going to cover how to develop investigative skills that could help in the detection of irregular activities, and development of a contingency plan to be implemented when an attack is successful. We'll also look at advanced hardening strategies and why training your team and security assessments are so important. By the end of our discussion, participants will be fully empowered in the protection of digital assets, identification of any likely threats, and the neutralization of such threats to render the cyber adversary impotent.

Join us for a transformative session exploring the critical intersections of safety, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the engineering profession. Led by Dr. Mark McBride-Wright, author of The SAFE Leader and a globally recognized advocate for inclusion in engineering, this webinar dives deep into how traditional norms of masculinity impact safety culture, workplace inclusion, and mental health in engineering. Discover actionable insights from the SAFE Leader framework—Share, Act, Feel, Empower—and learn how to foster an environment where every engineer can thrive. By addressing societal pressures, breaking down barriers, and empowering leaders to embrace DEI as a core component of safety culture, participants will leave with tools to drive meaningful change in their organizations. This webinar is a must-attend for engineers, leaders, and DEI advocates striving to create safer, more inclusive engineering spaces.

March 2025 EXCOM meeting only. Not a general meeting. Slatts Pub, 4858 Cooper Road, Blue Ash, Ohio, United States, 45242

Special Presentation by Dr. Lina Mohjazi & Dr. Yao Sun (U. of Glasgow, UK) Hosted by the Future Networks Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning (AIML) Working Group Date/Time: Thursday, 20 March 2025 @ 12:00 UTC Topic: The Meaning Behind the Signal: How Semantics are Transforming Wireless Communications Abstract: Semantic communication (SemCom) has recently emerged as a transformative paradigm, prioritizing accurate reception of message meaning over mere bits. The core concept is to empower wireless transceivers with reasoning and causality. In this talk, we will start with the basics of SemCom. Then some design challenges on both link level and network level will be introduced. We will later discuss several technical works on resource management in SemCom networks. Finally, some potential applications of SemCom will be presented. Speaker: [] Lina Mohjazi is a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) at James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow (UofG), UK. She received the Ph.D. degree in electrical and electronic engineering from the prestigious 5G/6G Innovation Centre, University of Surrey, Guildford, U.K., in 2018. She has co-authored more than 80 research papers in international high-impact journals and highly-rated conferences as well as book chapters. Her research interests include green and sustainable wireless communications, IoT’s, machine learning, energy efficiency, fundamental performance limits, and beyond 5G/6G and its applications. She is Deputy Director of the Robotics AI for NetZero (RAINZ) Centre for Doctoral Training at UofG. Dr. Mohjazi is the Women in Engineering Engagement Lead at the IEEE Communication Society UK&I. She is Fellow of Women's Engineering Society (WES) and a Senior Member of the IEEE. She served as Associate Editor for the IEEE Communications Letters (received the Exemplary Editor Award 2023). Dr. Mohjazi was endorsed as ”Global Talent” by the Royal Academy of Engineering in the UK in 2020, and as a “High Level Foreign Talent” by the Chinese Government in 2023. She was also the recipient of multiple teaching awards, the IEEE GPECOM 2022 best paper presentation award, and the IEEE Women in Engineering UK&I Engineering Excellence award. She is an Affiliate Member of Mohammed Bin Rashid Academy of Scientists, UAE. Yao Sun is currently a Lecturer with James Watt School of Engineering, the University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK. Dr. Sun has extensive research experience and has published widely in wireless networking research. He has won the IEEE Communication Society of TAOS Best Paper Award in 2019 ICC, IEEE IoT Journal Best Paper Award 2022, IEEE Transactions on Service Computing Best Paper Award 2023, and Best Paper Award in 22nd ICCT. He has been the guest editor for special issues of several international journals. He has served as TPC Chair for UCET 2021, the symposium chair for VTC 2024 Spring, and TPC member for a number of international flagship conferences, including ICC, GLOBECOM, WCNC.
