Guest Lecture Focus It is an uncomfortable truth for designers and operators of technology that it is increasingly being used by perpetrators of interpersonal coercive-control, for example in cases such as domestic abuse. Moreover, this use of technology does not typically involve hacking in the traditional sense, rather the misuse of often well-intentioned standard features - the design of which usually did not include threat analysis of, for instance, an abusive domestic partner who has access to passwords or manages the device/application in question. Examples include tracking of partners and their children, manipulation of social media while gaslighting to cover what is happening, and utilising smart-home devices to secretly monitor movement. In this session we will update you on our progress towards a recommended practice in the Principles of Design and Operation of such technology to minimise this kind of misuse.

Talk 1: Transforming Technical Education: Practical Uses of AI, MR, Gamification, cloud and IoT for Personalized and Scalable Learning Cutting-edge technologies like AI-ML, AR/VR/MR, gamification, and the metaverse can revolutionize technical education through personalized training and simulation. AI-ML analyzes individual learning patterns to tailor educational content. AR/VR/MR provides hands-on experience. Gamification makes learning engaging and motivating. The metaverse offers collaborative learning and exploration. By combining these technologies, educators can create dynamic learning experiences that cater to diverse learning styles and foster innovation. AI-driven analytics can continuously refine and improve educational content and delivery, ensuring that technical education remains relevant and effective. Talk 2: Power consumption in cellular wireless communication base stations is a significant cost factor for service providers. Further, it significantly adds to the global carbon footprint. To this end, ambient-powered wireless base stations are being explored. In this presentation, we will present the case of networked cellular base stations equipped with solar/ambient energy harvesting capability and connected to the power grid for their uninterrupted operation. Since ambient energy availability and cell traffic are stochastic processes, we demonstrate the need for inter-base station cooperation for dealing with these doubly stochastic processes at potentially reduced grid power consumption costs. Under such an inter-base station cooperative scenario, we investigate the energy harvesting and storage capacity and operation optimization strategies for operator revenue maximization and/or green cellular operation. Beyond the CAPEX optimization, implementing the proposed strategies requires only software intervention at the Radio Network Controller or Remote Radio Units. This event is primarily in-person.
