Documentary Night: The Sun Queen
Documentary Night: The Sun Queen
For nearly 50 years, chemical engineer and inventor Mária Telkes applied her prodigious intellect to harnessing the power of the sun. She designed and built the world’s first successfully solar-heated modern residence and identified a promising new chemical that, for the first time, could store solar heat like a battery. And yet, along the way, she was undercut and thwarted by her boss and colleagues — all men — at MIT. Despite these obstacles, Telkes persevered and, upon her death in 1995, held more than 20 patents. She is now recognized as a visionary pioneer in the field of sustainable energy. An unexpected and largely forgotten heroine, Telkes was remarkable in her vision and tenacity — a scientist and a woman in every way ahead of her time. Her research and innovations from the 1930s through the ‘70s continue to shape how we power our lives today AFTER the documentary - we can have a brief discussion session. NOTE: You must supply your own soda pop and popcorn! :-) Trivia may also follow, so bring your Jeopardy hats too!

FOCUS Members of IEEE have been involved in the development of artificial intelligence since its inception. Since 2015 there has been a great effort to develop ethical guidelines for AI in the IEEE, leading to a series of documents on Ethically Aligned Design for Intelligent and Autonomous Systems, including analysis of ethically aligned design for business and education. In addition to these analysis and policy documents, IEEE's Standards Association has created a series of standards for the ethical use of AI, the 7000 standard series. These standards have influenced international AI and ethics public policy, including a Digital Services Framework Based on the Rights Principles for Children. In this talk we will look at IEEE's efforts in promoting and defining ethical design with AI and its applications in advancing technology for the benefit of humanity.

Optimizing ORAN Security Design and Considerations
Optimizing ORAN Security Design and Considerations
The security challenges confronting Open RAN are like those faced by contemporary RAN systems and other virtualized architectures. The division of functions in Open RAN expands the potential threat landscape. When implementing security measures, such as encryption, on the Open Fronthaul Interface, it is essential to consider the stringent latency requirements of the RAN. The growing reliance on open-source software in modern telecommunications platforms underscores the importance of secure development practices within open-source communities for Open RAN. In addition, the integration of AI in the RAN introduces the possibility of unforeseen consequences, as observed in other domains (e.g., racially biased facial recognition). Additionally, the substantial increase in IoT devices necessitates that all RAN deployments guard against the rising risk of attacks by compromised devices. Acknowledging these potential security challenges and recognizing the paramount importance of a secure RAN, this presentation will outline security requirements and solutions that empower the O-RAN architecture to deliver the expected level of security for both the industry and 5G users. The discussion will also spotlight the efforts of the O-RAN ALLIANCE Security Task Group (STG) and O-RAN ALLIANCE Working Groups (WGs) in addressing security challenges across all O-RAN interfaces and components, specifying, and recommending modern, practical security solutions.*This event is being recordedCo-sponsored by: IEEE Future NetworksSpeaker(s): Taha SajidVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/403461

Reading a talk by CM Jansky, Jr, IEEE President 1934 on his brother, Karl Guthe Jansky, PhD
[] 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."

Managing Risk Exposure in Renewable-Dominant Power System Operations and Electricity Markets
Managing Risk Exposure in Renewable-Dominant Power System Operations and Electricity Markets
The stochasticity of power injections from weather-dependent renewable energy resources challenges power system operations and increases the risk-exposure of electricity market participants. Defining safety regions for which any operative or market decision must be viable can be an effective and tractable tool to overcoming these challenges. Yet, designing such safety regions from historical data with respect to their impact on the quality of the decision risk is tricky. This seminar discusses two proposals for data-driven robust decision tools in renewable-dominant electric power systems that explicitly internalize probabilistic performance metrics of their solution. First, we discuss an approach to learn prescriptive safety regions for wind power generation. We leverage recent results from differentiable programming to create individual safety intervals for each wind generator that adapt to current grid situations such that they optimize an operator-defined risk target. Second, we discuss a method to internalize adversarial uncertainty sets in electricity market clearing such that consumer risk is minimized. We define these sets using a factor stressing approach inspired from financial engineering and show that consumer risk in terms of excess payments can be effectively reduced at a low overall system cost.

A Carative Approach to AI Governance
A Carative Approach to AI Governance
In recent times, we often hear a call for the governance of AI systems, but what does that really mean? In this talk, I will first adopt a control theory perspective to explain governance that determines the reference input via value alignment, data scientists acting as the controller to meet the values in a machine learning system, and facts captured in transparent documentation as the feedback signal. I will then adopt a nursing theory perspective to explain how the control theory perspective lacks caring and the need for a carative approach that starts with the real-world problem as experienced by the most vulnerable people. I will conclude with an example of a project on using machine learning to evaluate applicants for home solar panel systems in rural India as well as a discussion of governing large language models.

Pricing Designs Considering Environmental Constraints
Pricing Designs Considering Environmental Constraints
We study the problem of deriving financially adequate prices for trading a perishable commodity under a centralized auction with environmental considerations. Our model is based on an electricity market, with producers using conventional technologies with byproduct emissions; and environmentally clean producers subject to exogenous weather realizations, but lower emissions in production. For this purpose, we derive a new financially adequate market clearing pricing scheme. Unlike related financially adequate pricing schemes that only take into account the marginal market costs associated with market clearing commodity demands, the proposed pricing scheme also takes into account the marginal market costs associated with the market participants operating at maximum capabilities. The proposed pricing scheme allows to analyze the effects of environmental limitations in the market, as it internalizes, in the pricing signals, the costs or benefits associated with compliance of these limits by the market participants; and in particular, conventional technology producers including transit operators.

Prof Yung-Hsiang Lu Distinguished Visitor Seminar (Virtual) – World-Wide Camera Networks
Prof Yung-Hsiang Lu Distinguished Visitor Seminar (Virtual) – World-Wide Camera Networks
[] 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. Bio: Yung-Hsiang Lu is a professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University. He is a University Faculty Scholar of Purdue University. He is a fellow of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), distinguished visitor of the Computer Society, distinguished scientist and distinguished speaker of the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery). Dr. Lu is the inaugural director of Purdue’s John Martinson Engineering Entrepreneurial Center (2020-2022). In 2019, he received Outstanding VIP-Based Entrepreneur Award from the VIP (Vertically Integrated Projects) Consortium. His research areas include computer vision, embedded systems, cloud and mobile computing. Dr. Lu has advised 400 undergraduate students in research projects and taught more than 5,000 students in classrooms. He has advised multiple student teams winning business plan competitions; two teams of students started technology companies and raised more than $1.5M.
