Technology Predictions: Art, Science, and Fashion
Technology Predictions: Art, Science, and Fashion
Abstract: Predicting the future is never easy, it always entails a degree of uncertainty, if not luck. Predicting technology trends is even harder as it requires both technical and business acumen, e.g., whether the technology will be developed, productized, and ultimately adopted on the market. It is almost an art to distill between a fashion and a true scientific trend. At the same time, the public likes to read predictions and many individuals and organizations regularly write technology predictions, such as Gartner, MIT, Forbes and many others regularly produce predictions. IEEE Computer Society started its technology predictions informally in early 2010 and formally via annual press releases in 2014, followed by their respective scorecards in 2016. We realized that our audience appreciates self-evaluation, hence we introduced scorecards at the end of the period of prediction. Our predictions reached substantial audience, e.g., in 2018, it was picked up by 300 media outlets (84.6M audience), which is entirely different from classical publishing. We considered predictions as a new type of publication, a lightweight, short publication (approximately a paragraph per prediction). These predictions also triggered other media outreach, such as blogs, interviews, panel sessions, and this special issue of IEEE Computer magazine. Over the years we became better in press releases and social media announcing our report, to the extent that it became visible at the IEEE Board of Directors, and found its way to the report of the IEEE Executive Director. One notable side-product that grew out of our predictions was the 2022 report that comprehensively predicted 23 technologies 7 years ahead. This report had a sister report written by Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), Taiwan on technology predictions specific to Asia. These technology predictions surpassed all our expectations in terms of impact, and we plan to continue for as long as audience has interest. Co-sponsored by: George Pappas Speaker(s): Dejan S.

EDS/CASS Distinguished Lecture: Semiconductor Innovation for Transformative Impact
EDS/CASS Distinguished Lecture: Semiconductor Innovation for Transformative Impact
Semiconductor technology advancements have enabled the capability and cost of computing devices to improve exponentially over time, with transformative impact - witness the rise of cloud computing and the Internet of Things, which together with advances in machine learning have ushered in the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Today’s leading-edge microprocessor chips comprise 80 billion transistors. The complexity of these semiconductor devices requires sophisticated design automation tools and manufacturing facilities, which are increasingly expensive and capital intensive: a leading-edge chip fabrication plant, or “fab,” costs roughly $10 billion. As a result, close collaboration between electronic design automation (EDA) companies, fabless chip design companies, chip manufacturers, wafer fabrication equipment (WFE) companies, materials suppliers, and outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) companies is necessary to sustain the exponential pace of technology advancement. This seminar will begin by providing a high-level overview to explain why chips are considered “the new oil,” with a market projected to grow to $1T by the end of this decade. Then it will discuss challenges ahead for the industry and the need for new innovations and talent. As an example, integration of nano-electro-mechanical switches with conventional CMOS transistors to enable dramatic improvements in computational speed and energy efficiency will be described. The importance of a culture of inclusion for spurring innovation with maximum positive impact will also be discussed.

5G/6G Innovation Testbed
Special Presentation by Brad Kloza & Naresh Babu of IEEE 5G/6G Innovation Testbed Hosted by the Future Networks Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning (AIML) Working Group Date/Time: Thursday, April 4th, 2024 @ 6pm EDT / 3pm PDT Topic: 5G/6G Innovation Testbed Abstract: IEEE recognized a need to fill in the space of collaborative innovation for 5G and 6G networks and to facilitate the transition of ideas into real technologies that could help better human connectivity. Understanding that the industry and research communities thrive best in a neutral environment not bound by geography, proprietary technologies, or testing scope, IEEE created the 5G/6G Innovation Testbed to foster collaborative experimentation and advancement among stakeholders in the 5G and 6G ecosystem. These stakeholders, including telecommunications operators, equipment vendors, and application developers, rely on each other to deliver exceptional products and services across an ever-evolving network, and that interdependence requires significant testing for conformity and interoperability. The Innovation Testbed will also serve the academic community in teaching and research, by using real network elements in their testing and analysis. This makes university-obtained data more valuable and usable by industry and will help train a new generation of graduates who are more prepared for real-world applications thanks to hands-on experience gained in the Innovation Testbed. EEE further envisions the platform to serve as a foundational place of origin for the Network of the Future, driven by a diverse array of leaders in industry and the research community who work together on innovations, standards, and applications across sectors including manufacturing 2.0, healthcare, agriculture, autonomous vehicles, gaming, connected products, smart cities, virtual reality, and more. IEEE’s position as a neutral, global organization, and our use of open-source components to power the Innovation Testbed, enable our platform to become a hub and federated testbed model. This allows multiple companies to test the compatibility of components located on their premises by using our platform as a mediator to interface their platforms without breaching security or company firewalls.

Professor Shlomi Dolev: Post Quantum Internet
[] Prof. Shlomi Dolev, Executive Director of the BGU-Negev Hi-Tech Faculty Startup Accelerator, will present on Post Quantum Internet. The need for a post-quantum Internet is emerging, and this is a great opportunity to re-examine the legacy of public key infrastructure. There is a need for perspective on the evolution of cryptography over the years, including the perfect information-theoretical secure schemes and the computationally secure schemes, in particular. There is also a need to examine the evolving Internet infrastructure to identify efficient design and secure cryptographic schemes over the existing Internet infrastructure. A combination of overlay security, blockchain, and Merkle trees with Lamport’s signatures offers just such an easily implementable post-quantum Internet over the existing Internet. The talk will cover recent research that resulted in start-ups creation initiatives, including Secret Double Octopus, SecretSkyDB, SodsBC.

360 Mentoring – Organic Fertilizer for your Engineering Journey to Grow and Flourish. Talk at Stevens institute of Technology Co-Sponsored by Employment network and WIE.
Abstract for 360 Mentoring talk: Plants appear to grow effortlessly all around us except in Deserts and Rocks. But, when you try to grow them, you face a lot of challenges, even to maintain established trees. I bought my house with 17 productive fruit trees, none left now. Who attends to them in the forest? Animals, birds, insects and even “other plants” help the forest thrive. Growing and maintaining Careers is the same thing. Just getting a degree, landing a job, and executing assignments does not guarantee a successful career. A lot of nurturing goes into it. Many who have become successful will often give credit to their mentors for many of their accomplishments. This presentation will attempt to offer an insight into finding and making the most of mentors throughout your Engineering Journey. Topics: 1. Engineering Journey 2. Plants Vs Mentoring 3. Influencers of your Journey – Sponsors Vs Mentors, Who are Influencers ? 4. Mentoring 360 Concept 5. Challenges faced by College Students 6. Different types of Mentors for Students 7. Rules of the Game for Student Mentees 8. Summer Internship Basics 9. Making the most of Internships 10.360 Mentoring Summary and Conclusion Co-sponsored by: Anisha Apte Speaker(s): Chitra Bldg: Gateway South 122, Hoboken, New Jersey, United States

Learning and Intelligence over Weak Communication Links
Learning and Intelligence over Weak Communication Links
Special Presentation by Prof. Petar Popovski (Aalborg University, Denmark) Hosted by the Future Networks Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning (AIML) Working Group Date/Time: Thursday, April 18th, 2024 @ 12:00 UTC Topic: Learning and Intelligence over Weak Communication Links Abstract: Besides the fascinating questions on how to train increasingly capable Machine Learning (ML) models and explain their behavior, there is a suite of highly relevant challenges that emerge when ML models become elements of distributed connected systems and networks. A popular instance of this set of problems is federated learning. The first part of the talk will present a federated learning setup over LEO satellite constellation. It will be seen that the predictability of satellite movement can be used to speed up the training process. The second part will deal with a model for supervised learning in which Alice has access to abundant data features but does not have the labels, while Bob is able to provide a correct label for any data point. Alice is connected to Bob through a low-rate communication link and the talk will present strategies that combine active learning and data compression that enable Alice to get the labels. Finally, the third part of the talk discusses generative network layer of communication protocols. This is implemented in an intermediate network node that contains a Generative AI module. When the link to the source is weak, instead of waiting for packets to be routed, the node can generate the packets that need to be sent to the destination. Generative network layer is an early step towards the potential changes in communication protocols based on increasingly capable AI.

Madhu Chinnambeti Presents: Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
Madhu Chinnambeti Presents: Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
[] Large Language Models (LLMs) are being used widely in current Generative AI systems. Unfortunately, LLMs demonstrate significant capabilities but face challenges such as hallucination, outdated knowledge, and non-transparent, untraceable reasoning processes. Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) has emerged as a promising solution by incorporating knowledge from external databases. This enhances the accuracy and credibility of the models, particularly for knowledge-intensive tasks, and allows for continuous knowledge updates and integration of domain-specific information. RAG synergistically merges LLMs' intrinsic knowledge with the vast, dynamic repositories of external databases. This talk gives an overview of the structure of RAG systems and includes a demo of their capabilities. Madhu Chinnambeti is an SVP and Senior Data Scientist at SupportVectors. In his current role, Madhu advises the companies, aspiring engineers, and entrepreneurs on ML, AI, and Gen AI technology stack. Madhu has over 28 years of experience in Computer Science and Engineering and he is currently working on his PhD dissertation in the area of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and deep learning at Boise State University. Madhu is currently working on research and publications that advance GNNs under Cybersecurity and fraud detection. His passion also includes tech education in the evolving fields like Generative AI. Madhu is a volunteer advisory board member of Disability:In New Jersey affiliate to help individuals with disabilities to get jobs.

Guest Lecture Focus Self-driving cars have been a dream from almost the time the automobile was invented. With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), this dream has seemingly become reality with driverless commercial operations already taking place in a handful of cities around the world. However, the recent tragic accident involving a pedestrian and a Cruise self-driving car, as well as a number of high-profile Tesla crashes, raise the possibility that such systems may not actually be as capable as envisioned, and questions have arisen about their safety both nationally and internationally. Given these concerns, it is important to step back and analyze both the actual safety records of these vehicles and just why AI is struggling to operate safely under all conditions in autonomous vehicles. This lecture will highlight the strengths and weaknesses of AI in self-driving cars, as well as in all safety-critical applications, and lay out a roadmap for safe integration of these technologies on public roadways.
