16	Title:Artificial Intelligence based Diagnosis of Auto-Immune Disease using Capsule Neural Network Description:Manual analysis of the indirect-immunofluorescence (IIF)... human epithelial cell Type-2 (HEp-2) cell image for the diagnosis of an auto-immune disease is a subjective and time-consuming process, and it is also prone to human-errors. The present work proposes an automatic capsule neural network (CapsNet) based framework for HEp-2 cell image classification to compensate for the deficiencies present in the prominent convolution neural network (CNN) based frameworks.

17	Title:Deep Learning-based COVID-19 automatic diagnostic framework using Chest X-ray images Description:A robust deep learning-based system is proposed to detect the COVID-19... using chest X-ray images. Infected patient's chest X-ray images reveal numerous opacities (denser, confluent, and more profuse) in comparison to healthy lungs images which are used by a deep learning algorithm to generate a model to facilitate an accurate diagnostics for multi-class classification (COVID vs. normal vs. bacterial pneumonia vs. viral pneumonia) and binary classification (COVID-19 vs. non-COVID). X-ray images have been used for training and model performance assessment from several hospitals of India and abroad. The proposed model performs rapid disease detection in 0.137 s per image in a system equipped with a GPU and can reduce the workload of radiologists by classifying thousands of images on a single click to generate a probabilistic report in real-time.

Title:E-Health tools on emotional detection
Abstract: The physiological signals also known biosignals, most common and used for biomedical and biometric identification, are the electrocardiogram (ECG) and electroencephalogram (EEG). ECG measures the electrical activity of the heart and EEG measures the electrical activity of the brain. There are other very rarely used signals that we consider studying as part of this work. For example, the electromyogram (EMG) which is a record of the electrical activity produced by the muscles and nerves and the galvanic skin response (GSR)or skin conductance, which is an indication of psychological or physiological arousal such as fear, anger or other feelings. The detection of the degree of emotion through physiological signals is a very poorly studied area that can offer a new and efficient system, which deals with using the combination of several physiological signals as a method of identifying the degree of emotion. The objective of this proposal is to analyze the physiological signals that show people's emotions, quantify it and perform an automatic detection, which can become an innovative and robust tool that shows the degree of emotion. To implement the system, digital image processing techniques and artificial intelligence methods will be applied to obtain an objective low-cost emotion measurement system using physiological signals.

Title: Topological Data Analysis for Machine learning in Computer Vision.
Abstract: The availability of sophisticated image processing tools enables a variety of image manipulation without leaving visual traces. These tools are frequently exploited to tamper with image content including malicious morphing attacks on face biometrics, hiding secrets communication by steganography, and creating fake images/videos. Image analysis aim to automatically or semi-automatically distinguish different classes of images depending on the objective(s) of the specific application. Traditional image analysis schemes rely on extracting texture feature vectors (TFV) and training a variety of classifiers on these vectors or their histograms. Here we adopt the newly emerging Topological Data Analysis (TDA) paradigm that exploits changes to spatial distribution of (TFV’s). TDA and its computational tool of Persistent Homology will be shown to be highly effective in detecting a variety of barely visible tiny changes in image texture primitives as a result of malicious tampering or naturally occurring abnormalities. We present a variety of topologically sensitive TFVs that can be used to deal with such image analysis applications. We shall demonstrate applicability of TDA image analysis schemes to detect face morphing and fake video attacks, detecting decease-caused distortion of tissue scans, and as a Steganalysis tool to detect hidden secret transactions.

Title: Comparison of Machine Learning Techniques to Identify Sepsis Patients in the Emergency Department
Abstract: Background: Sepsis is a major health concern with substantial impact on health care. Early identification of patients with sepsis is critical to provide timely care for patients. There were reports of applying machine learning techniques for sepsis detection in the literature. These techniques produced models with varying degree of transparency. They can be transparent models such as Decision Trees, semi-transparent models such as Naïve Bayes Network, and black-box models such as Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Neural Networks. Objectives: The objective of this study is to compare the performance of several machine learning techniques to identify emergency department septic patients. In the comparison, we also included the results of the novel rule-point sepsis alert system that we developed previously. Methods: This study uses a random sample of 912 sepsis and 975 non-sepsis patients admitted to the emergency department of the Detroit Medical Center. Each case was adjudicated individually. Our rulebased model is a point-based system which assigns different weighted points to each rule. The patients were divided into 14 groups based on age and other patient variables, and each group has its own set of rules. Thresholds of the variables in each rule were optimized by a genetic algorithm (GA) to maximize sepsis detection performance. We used MATLAB Classification Learner that generated the result of 23 different machine learning models. We also used MATLAB’s Neural Network Toolbox to train and build different sizes of Neural Network models with one hidden-layer. Results: The 23 machine learning models result in a variety of performances. The Fine Gaussian SVM showed the highest sensitivity with 95.8% but with 77.7% specificity and 80.1% positive predictive value (PPV). The Coarse k-Nearest Neighborhood (KNN) had the highest specificity with 94.5% but sensitivity was at 84.9%. For balanced results with over 90% sensitivity, specificity and PPV, the Medium Gaussian SVM and Medium KNN models were at the top. The Neural Network models also varied in performances. The best performed network had 141 neurons (93.24% Sensitivity, 96.13% Specificity and 97.18% PPV), followed by 36 neurons network (94.0% Sensitivity, 96.05 Specificity and 96.41 PPV). The rule-point system resulted in 90.9% sensitivity, 90.9% specificity and 90.3% PPV. Conclusion: Among the machine learning classifiers, the Neural Network model achieved the highest detection performance. One major drawback of this model is its poor transparency and ability to explain the results to the domain experts. We found no apparent relationship between the number of neurons in the hidden layer and detection accuracy of the network. The GA-optimized rule-point sepsis alert system can provide comparable performance to the NN and SVM models

Title: Integrating biological knowledge to better predict relationships in a biological system
Abstract: A key problem in biological research is to discover and quantify the relationships (associations or interactions) between different entities in a complex biological system. Recent years have seen the development of computational techniques for predicting such relationships based upon the data from a specific pair of domains (e.g. predicting whether any given drug is likely to treat any given disease). However, in spite of advanced computational techniques available, the progress in achieving prediction accuracy necessary for biological discoveries has been dismal at best. We demonstrate that a better understanding of a biological system as a whole is necessary to overcome the poor methods’ performance inherit to data in any two given domains. In one approach, a biological system can be viewed as a network, consisting of different domains (such as genes, diseases, drugs, symptoms, etc.). The individual relationships between entities in any two domains (e.g. drug-treats-disease) in such a network can be predicted not only directly, but also transitively (e.g. drug-upregulates-gene-downregulates-disease). We demonstrate that a simple voting mechanism applied to different types of transitive predictions can significantly increase the accuracy obtained by the current, state-of-the-art methodologies.

Title: Neural Graph Processing: an embedding-based approach
Abstract: Many fields, like physics, neuroscience, chemistry, and sociology, investigate phenomena by processing multivariate measurements advantageously represented as a sequence of attributed graphs. Graphs come in different forms, with variable attributes, topology, and ordering, making it difficult to perform a mathematical analysis in the graph space. Within this framework, we are interested in processing graph datastreams to solve applications e.g., detect structural changes in the graph sequence, a situation associated with time variance, faults, anomalies or events of interest as well as design sophisticated processing like those requested by predictors. On the change detection front, theoretic results show that, under mild hypotheses, the confidence level of an event detected in the graph domain can be associated with another confidence level in an embedding space; this enables the identification of events in the graph domain by investigating embedded data. The opposite holds. However, evaluation of distances between graphs and identification of an appropriate embedding for the problem at hand are far from being trivial tasks with deep adversarial learning approaches and constant curvature manifold transformation showing to be appropriate transformations able to solve the problem. Deep autoregressive predictive models can then be designed to operate directly on graphs, hence providing the building blocks for other future sophisticated neural processing.

Title: Rebooting Computing- The Search for Post-Moore’s Law Breakthroughs
Abstract: The field of high-performance computing (HPC) or supercomputing refers to the building and using computing systems that are orders of magnitude faster than our common systems. The top supercomputer, Summit, can perform 148,600 trillion calculations in one second (148.6 PF on LINPAC). The top two supercomputers are now in the USA followed by two Chinese supercomputers. Many countries are racing to break the record and build an ExaFLOP supercomputer that can perform more than one million trillion (quintillion) calculations per second. In fact the USA is planning two supercomputers in 2021 one of which, when fully operational (Frontier), will perform at 1.5 EF. Scientists however are concerned that we are reaching many physical limits and we need new innovative ideas to make it to the next generation of computing. This talk will consider where we stand and where we are going with the current state of supercomputing with emphasis on future processors, and some of the ideas that scientists are looking at to re-invent computing. A comparative understanding of Nuromorphic and Brain-Inspired Computing, Quantum Computing and innovative computing paradigms will be provided along with an assessment of progress so far and the road ahead. Further, I cover some of our own progress on Nanophotnonic PostMoore’s law processing efforts.

Title: 2D Nano-Electronic Materials for Bio-sensing
Abstract: The last two decades have experienced rapid technological developments in the search of cheap and high accuracy devices for fast bio-molecular identification. In the realm of DNA and protein sequencing, there has been an increasing interest in the use of nanopores in solid-state materials because of their distinct advantage over biological pores in terms of flexibility in pore design and mechanical strength. Two-dimensional (2D) solid state materials such as graphene and Molybdenum di-sulphide (MoS2) in particular have attracted attention because of their atomically thin layered structure and electrically active characteristics, predisposing them to offer single base resolution and simultaneously multiple modalities of detecting biomolecular translocation. 2D nanopore devices promise seamless integration with semiconductor electronics and are poised to revolutionize a variety of technologies such as genomics, point-of-care diagnostics and digital data storage to name a few. The past year has witnessed a flurry of activity to experimentally realize nanopore Field Effect Transistors (FETs) and understand the fundamental sensing mechanism in such devices. Currently, the dominant consensus from theoretical calculations has involved the electrostatic modulation of the FET current due to the translocating biomolecules. In this talk, we review and provide insights into this sensing principle by modeling the electron flow through 2D material nanopore FETs. We describe a method to systematically characterize nanopores FETs by contrasting the changes in the FET behavior before-and-after nanopore drilling and DNA translocation. We outline measurable predictions of high-resolution FET based sensing of DNA-protein complexes and damaged DNA. We compare these FET signals to the corresponding ionic current signals calculated from all-atom Molecular dynamics simulations. Further, we also outline possible techniques to improve the detection SNR by augmenting pore and device design with statistical signal processing algorithms. Finally, we propose a scalable device design of nanopore FETs to detect and identify translocations of single-biomolecules in a massively parallel scheme.

Title: Generative Deep Neural Networks for Face Deidentification
Abstract: Image and video data are today being shared between government entities and other relevant stakeholders on a regular basis and require careful handling of the personal information contained therein. A popular approach to ensure privacy protection in such data is the use of deidentification techniques, which aim at concealing the identity of individuals in the imagery while still preserving certain aspects of the data after deidentification. In this talk, we present a novel approach towards face deidentification, called k-Same-Net, which combines recent Generative Neural Networks (GNNs) with the well-known k-Anonymity mechanism and provides formal guarantees regarding privacy protection on a closed set of identities. Our GNN is able to generate synthetic surrogate face images for deidentification by seamlessly combining features of identities used to train the GNN model. Furthermore, it allows us to control the image-generation process with a small set of appearance-related parameters that can be used to alter specific aspects (e.g., facial expressions, age, gender) of the synthesized surrogate images. We demonstrate the feasibility of k-Same-Net in comprehensive experiments on the XM2VTS and CK+ datasets. We evaluate the efficacy of the proposed approach through reidentification experiments with recent recognition models and compare our results with competing deidentification techniques from the literature. We also present facial expression recognition experiments to demonstrate the utility-preservation capabilities of k-Same-Net. Our experimental results suggest that k-Same-Net is a viable option for facial deidentification that exhibits several desirable characteristics when compared to existing solutions in this area.

Title: Towards Medical Imaging without images; Advanced Image Reconstruction and Machine learning in PET and Microwave Imaging
Abstract: Cancer mortality is higher in remote regions in Canada and in developing countries where access to early detection is limited. Mammography, the standard for breast cancer screening, uses ionizing radiation, requires breast compression, has a high false-positive rate, and requires a well-established human and capital infrastructure. Positron Emission Tomography (PET), an important functional imaging modality, also uses ionizing radiation, which scatters when it interacts with tissue, depositing dose, but traditionally not providing any value from an imaging perspective. Breast Microwave Imaging (BMI) and Scatter Enhanced PET potentially have improved sensitivity and specificity when compared to traditional mammographic x-ray and PET reconstruction techniques. Image reconstruction typically uses algebraic methods; iterative Delay and Sum (for microwave imaging) or Maximum Likelihood Expectation maximization (MLEM) approaches (for PET), but there are technical and computational constraints which limit their applicability. This presentation is a tour through time and place; starting with experiments that show the benefits of improved reconstruction techniques for microwave radar imaging for breast cancer detection, scatter imaging for PET and finishing with a demonstration as to how machine learning and artificial intelligence can be used to reconstruct images, and to detect breast lesions even when they may not be visible.

Title: Towards more effective Smart Grid using Data Analytics
Abstract: Energy belongs for a long time to the most important aspects of our lives. There are several new phenomenons in current smart grid environment: the energy is produced not only in traditional way, but it is supplied also by distributed renewable energy sources. Thus the consumers become also prosumers. Another aspect concerns the anticipated massive usage of electric vehicles, which will require bigger load – we have to prepare the grid also for this type of load. In this talk we will offer an insight into the contemporary approaches to ensuring more effective operation of smart grid. It is based on the analysis of huge datasets, generated by smart meters. Since traditional ways of data processing are no longer sufficient, an urgent need for novel approaches occurs. In order to manage smart grid effectively, we need smart technologies to manage power load forecasting, trading, load balancing and grid optimization. Our research team has developed successful solutions to address these challenges, making thus possible to achieve huge energy and financial savings.

Title: Blind deblurring of barcodes via Kullback-Leibler divergence
Abstract: : Barcode encoding schemes impose symbolic constraints which fix certain segments of the image. The maximum entropy on the mean method enables the use of a prior probability distribution. We exploit these complementary features to develop an entropic method for blind barcode deblurring. We assess our results via both standard bar code reading software as well as smart phones.

Title:Multivariate and Univariate Analysis of Engineering Student Data to Identify Engineering Retention Characteristics
Abstract: In many fields, relations of variables hold for only certain values of variables, or there are different relations for different values of variables. The Partial-Value Association Discovery (PVAD) algorithm discovers variable relations/associations that exist in partial ranges of variable values from large amounts of data in a computationally efficient way. This lecture shows how the PVAD algorithm is used in two applications. The first application uses the PVAD algorithm to analyze engineering student data. Partial-value data associations of engineering student characteristics are examined to identify engineering retention characteristics. The second application uses the PVAD algorithm to analyze network flow data from computer networks. Partial-value data associations of network flow characteristics are put together detect network anomalies for cyber security.

Title:Tracing How the Evolution of Cryptographic Systems is Tied to the Evolution of Computing
Abstract: In this talk we will examine the dramatic impact that advances in computing has impacted the evolution of cryptographic systems. One of the most significant areas is in Public Key Cryptographic systems. In the mid 1970's when the first public disclosure of Public Key Cryptography was made, computational complexity on personal computers made their use impractical. In 1985, the suggestion of using Elliptic Curves as a method of Public Key Cryptography as put forward. At the time, it was thought that ECC was impractical due to the computational complexity at that time. Today, Elliptic Curve Cryptography is used in many applications on smart phones. We will trace the history how improvements in computing power had a direct impact on cryptographic systems.

Title: Next generation materials simulation - applications of electronic course graining to complex systems
Abstract: Atoms and molecules adapt to their environment through a hierarchy of electronic responses. These fundamental, many-body phenomena give rise to emergent behaviour across the physical and life sciences. However, their incorporation in predictive simulations of large systems faces significant challenges. We introduce here a new class of molecular model employing embedded quantum oscillators as a coarse-grained representation of the collective electronic responses. This representation generates all manifestations of long-range interactions. The resulting level of completeness in physical description enables isolated molecule properties to define model parameters, thereby eliminating fitting to condensed phase data. Thus, the framework provides a physical and intuitive basis for predictive, next-generation simulation which can be implemented efficiently on massively parallel computers. Path integral methods are introduced as a practical solution to the coarse-grained version of the many-body electronic problem which avoids artificial truncation of the interaction terms. Combined with molecular dynamics to evolve nuclei on the model electronic surface, through on-the-fly force computation, the method can simulate large soft matter systems at finite temperature. Example applications to specific systems will be presented

Atomic-resolution microscopies such as scanning transmission electron microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy provide complementary experimental observations. This talk will describe a number of examples, primarily in two-dimensional materials, where a combination of computation and microscopies lead to the discovery of new materials, e.g., fusion of bilayers into a new monolayer with novel stoichiometry1, 2 and intrinsically patterned 2D materials3, 4; new nanostructures, e.g., atomically precise graphene origami5 and monolayer amorphous carbon6; and new phenomena, e.g., unconventional ferroelectricity7.

Title: Cloud Security – quantitative metrics, software-defined policy driven interaction, and trust-based big data processing framework.
Abstract: The demand for security of cyber systems is ever-increasing as these critical infrastructures are constantly adapting to emerging sophisticated applications and interconnecting a vast number of IOT devices. This leads to a large attack surface a cyber-system has to cover to ensure its security. Cloud computing, in particular, has been truly adopted as a large-scale distributed computing paradigm. The rapid growth of both public and private cloud systems provides cloud users with various options in deploying computational and storage resources, especially for big data applications. These cloud systems expose unavoidably the vulnerability on data security and privacy due to their outsourced nature. Security and privacy have thus become a great concern in cloud computing in which users risk the leakage of their private data. However, existing cloud security models do not equip themselves with sufficient measures to protect cloud systems proactively as well as reactively. In this talk, we articulate several forward-looking security models and techniques for protecting cloud systems: quantitative metrics for measuring security risks, software-defined policy-driven interaction for detecting and predicting security breaches, and techniques for protecting cloud data

Title: Desalination of sea water, nature’s way
Abstract: Earth is facing an existential crises like none we have ever witnessed. This is not simply a matter of global warming, which in 50 years predicts an average temperature increase of a few degrees. Such news, while highly disturbing, is a dramatic understatement of the seriousness of our problems. These problem may start with the earth’s population. Its possible that the resources required for life on Earth are not up to the demands of 8 billion people. Potable water and food are as serious a problem as the implications of global warming (e.g., rising oceans, extreme weather patterns, fires, etc.). Here we propose an interleaved multi-tasking plan to solve most if not all of these problems, packaged into one solution. While a specific plan is outlined, it is envisioned that there are many alternatives, not discussed. The guide should be ”Whatever works best should be tried and the winning alternatives adopted.” The proposal is a highly innovative approach that looks at all the thermodynamic alternatives to separating ocean water into its 96.7% potable water and 3.5% salts, followed by decomposing the remaining 3.5% of salts into NaCL (85.6%), Magnesium (3.7%), Sulfate (2.7%), and the final target, Calcium Carbonate & Calcium Bicarbonate (1.2%). The five processing steps proposed to convert the sea water (OCEAN) into potable water with the sun as the sole source of thermal energy (1.37 [kW/m 2 ]) contained evaporation, creating thousands of huge lakes (FRESH WATER LAKE) in all the many arid deserts throughout the earth. As these deserts are converted to jungles, they will remove the remaining CO2 from the air, through natural processes, solving the problem of global warming over the long term. One of the key components of this proposal is to bring together the faculty and students, drawing upon on the vast composite knowledge within our university population.

Title: Developments in Hybrid Electronic Materials at the Nanoscale for Next-Generation Applications
Abstract: As “small has hit the wall” (Moore’s Law) semiconductor based industries struggle to keep pace with consumer demands for smaller, faster, and ever more affordable electronic devices. By the same token, researchers operating under the broadly defined umbrella of nanoelectronics seek to challenge traditional design paradigms and fabrication practices as these are used to create solid-state devices. Thus, motivated by both scientific curiosity and societal needs, my research focus is in the area of HEMs or hybrid electronic materials. In this talk, I will provide an overview of my work in progress as principal investigator for the Applied Hybrid Electronic Materials & Structures (AHEMS) Laboratory, as I have established in the Division of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Louisiana State University. With an eye toward future nanoelectronic materials and devices, my team works to develop ways to deposit and characterize HEMs, as well as designs innovative yet low-cost apparatus and techniques, in order to explore these materials and their nanoscale properties. By taking a fundamental or “bottom up” approach to nanoelectronics, we investigate the unique physics and potential functions of HEMs as we look toward developments “beyond the transistor” in the next-generation of computing and related applications

Title: Classification and Prediction of Heart Diseases Using Data Mining Techniques
Abstract: An analysis for assessing the risk of developing heart disease using data mining techniques is presented. The processed Hungarian medical data set from the University of California, Irvine, was used for analysis and prediction. Twenty out of seventy-four medical and physical attributes were selected for this study. The attributes were selected based on supervised and unsupervised techniques from the list, such as cholesterol level, heart beat rate, level and duration of physical activity, etc. Principal component analysis was used to determine the correlation among the attributes for their selection. In order to establish a baseline for classification, five different classifiers were tested using WEKA. In addition, the patient data were provided to an artificial neural network with one to three hidden layers for classification after training and testing. The results of the baseline classifier, Bayesian classifier, decision tree, nearest neighbor, and support vector machine were determined. It was shown that the decision tree and support vector machine models achieved correct classification rates of 88.1% and 88.5% with precision rates of 86.20% and 83.80%, respectively. This is about 10% or better correct classification compared to the other methods. The classification accuracy of the neural network with 100 to 200 neurons varied between 73.81% and 85.03%.

Title: Tying Ethics & Teamwork Training for Computing Students - Toward Ethics-in-Action Apps
Abstract: Most Computer Science and Engineering curricula in the US require ethics training and teamwork skills and the Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology mandates that ethics and teamwork be course objectives in at least one course in these majors. However, these subjects are difficult to cover and sometimes neglected. Absent student training on specific teamwork skills, unsatisfactory team work experiences, may lead students to fear and avoid teamwork, Lingard (2010). At Harvard University, Professors Grosz (CS) and Simmons (Philosophy) have designed a ground-breaking model “EthiCS” which pairs CS faculty with Philosophy graduate students to find ethics-rich topics in CS courses and embed discussion of those topics in the curricula of each of 13 CS courses (Grosz, 2019). At the University of Alabama at Birmingham, a Computer Science professor (Sprague) and an ethicist (Diaz-Sprague) are pilot testing a 4-class period minimodule on Ethics and Teamwork embedded in CS Capstone courses and advanced ECE courses. The first two class periods offer a refresher on ethical principles and tips on moral reasoning, based on segments of video lectures by Michael Sandel: “Justice: What’s the Right Thing to Do” and Frans de Waal: “On Animal Morality.” These are followed by guided discussions in which students participate as teams. Outside of class, students read about teamwork and each student team selects and practices a teambuilding game. On days 3 and 4 the teams lead the class in playing the game. We report results and observations. Also, since the Capstone course requires students work on teams on a software engineering design project and EE485 is a prerequisite for EE498 the design course for ECE students, we are encouraging students to develop some type of moral guidance tool. The apps may be tips for de-escalating conflict, random acts of kindness or be a repository of time-tested proverbs, aphorisms, or moral codes derived from many religions or cultures. Currently, our team is running an Art, Essay of App Design Challenge or Ethics-in-Action contest, open to all interested students, regardless of institution.

Title: The Supervisory Control Theory; a Classical AI Approach Comes of Age
Abstract: : The Supervisory Control Theory (SCT) takes a control-theoretic approach to systems modeled by finite-state machines (automata), which is why it can be said to belong to the realm of what has lately come to be called "classical AI". The SCT community has now worked on problems within this context for more than 30 years, in many different research directions, but the main issue being the ability to handle the computational complexity. Recent breakthroughs in this research have now made the SCT an approach useful for industrially interesting problems. This talk will present some of the latest development in the SCT coupled to real industrial applications. New algorithms and a tool, Supremica, implementing them will be presented. One industrial example will be the verification of the lane change algorithm for an autonomous car, were a serious bug was found. This was an MSc project that eventually led to the financing of several industrial PhD students. Another example will be the development of new control systems for Dutch water locks. This was a project financed by the Rijkswaterstaat, the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, which led to new algorithms for automatic generation of coordination of large numbers of sensors and actuators according to given requirement specifications. In addition, a brief introduction to relevant parts of automata theory and the SCT will be given since it is assumed that the audience is not very knowledgeable in the SCT. Supremica is available for download, free for education and research, at www.supremica.org.

Title: Stochastic systems evaluation and selection criteria and their computational challenges
Abstract: Stochastic systems are generally evaluated and compared using the expected value of one or more performance metric of interest. The use of expected value is prevalent in engineering applications and its use implicitly implies that the designers and/or system operators are risk neutral. However, designers and system operators rightfully are concerned about the system’s risk exposure and therefore should use an evaluation metric that is sensitive to risk. In this talk we review some potential risk-sensitive evaluation criteria and discuss their computational and statistical challenges. We conclude the talk by highlighting a few engineering research areas where risk-sensitive evaluation criteria have been used.

Title: The Evolution of Data Center Network Architectures
Abstract: Our society is becoming increasingly dependent on analyzing huge amounts of data generated in a large variety of ways. Analyzing the “big data” in the cloud requires a tremendous amount of computing and storage resources, and data centers have emerged as the workhorses of the cloud. Large data centers already consist of tens of thousands of servers, and are expected to scale to hundreds of thousands or even millions of servers with total throughputs on the order of several Tbps. Data centers are extremely power-hungry, and already account for over 2% of worldwide energy consumption. Designing data center networks that are both scalable and energy-efficient is very challenging. To address this challenge, the architecture of the data center network has evolved from the conventional multi-layer architecture to modern approaches that marry electronics and optics. This talk takes a look at this evolution and discusses emerging alternatives.

Title: The Ups and Downs of Closed Form System Response
Abstract: Closed form expressions for solutions to MIMO systems are typically derived by means of Laplace transforms. Central to these expressions is the matrix exponential $e^{At}$ and they usually include the eigenvalues and the coefficients of the characteristic equation. In this paper, we derive such expressions by focusing, instead, on the fundamental solution of the underlying differential equation. The advantage of this is twofold. First, it simplifies the derivation of such expressions. Second, since we present an effective procedure for the evaluation of the fundamental solution and its derivatives, it can be used as a basis for procedures to evaluate these expressions both numerically and symbolically. These expressions lead to formulae for evaluating the response directly at any time when the input is impulse, polynomial or harmonic. For more general inputs these formulae can be used to derive time stepping procedures based on piecewise polynomial approximations. However, the expressions typically become numerically unstable when the systems reach a size of 15-20. Thus we also derive analogous matrix formulae that result in numerically stable expressions for the same cases, when they are e.g. evaluated by Taylor series approximations. From an educational viewpoint we see it to be valuable to relate in this way direct expressions for responses of small systems presented in textbooks to the numerical procedures used in routines for large systems.

Title: Detecting and counteracting benign faults and malicious attacks in cyber physical systems
Abstract: The use of cyber-physical system (CPS) is rapidly expanding and many of their applications require a highly reliable and secure implementation as they control critical infrastructures or even life-critical devices. Unfortunately, current techniques for achieving high reliability and security incur high overheads. In particular, integrating countermeasures against security attacks is problematic as security threats are often not well defined, evolve continuously, and as a result, many CPSs often remain vulnerable. We propose to exploits the physical plant state information to enhance both reliability and security. Our approach, which monitors the controlled plant state trajectory, allows for tunable fault-tolerance as well as detection of malicious attacks, and it achieves these at a low overhead. The plant state space consists of safe and marginal state subspaces. In the safe subspace the CPS will continue its safe operation even if the worst case control signal is applied. In contrast, any erroneous control applied when the plant state is marginal, may lead to a catastrophic system failure. Such an erroneous control output may be due to either a benign fault or a malicious security attack. As most of the time the plant will be deep within its safe subspace, we can avoid using expensive redundancy techniques and thus, reduce the computational load while still guaranteeing safe operation. When a marginal state of the plant is detected, it will signal the potential presence of a "natural" fault or malicious attack. Our scheme will counter this by switching to a critical mode involving higher levels of redundancy to combat natural failures as well as alternative mechanisms to defeat malicious attacks. A major challenge in our approach is to determine, in real-time, whether the current state of the physical plant is deep within its safe sub-space or is marginal. We have used various machine learning techniques for classifying the state and our results indicate that with a reasonable number of entries in a lookup table and with a short execution time, the required classification can be performed efficiently.

Title: Coverage Planning for Mobile Robots with Constrained Motion and Limited Sensing
Abstract: Autonomous mobile robots must operate effectively in spite of movement and sensing capabilities that are often incomplete and unreliable. One recurring example of this confluence of challenges is the coverage problem, in which the robot must move across every point in a region of interest. Coverage algorithms have important applications in environmental monitoring, cleaning, humanitarian demining, painting, and exploration. Known algorithms for such problems generally cannot account directly for realistic limitations on the robot's sensors and actuators. This talk will present our work that overcomes these limitations, leading to results that include both hardness results and practical coverage algorithms for terrestrial, aquatic, and aerial robots.

Title:System Science of Security and Resilience of Cyber-Physical Systems
Abstract: The exponential growth of information and communication technologies have caused a profound shift in the way humans engineer systems leading to the emergence of closed loop systems involving strong integration and coordination of physical and cyber components, often referred to as cyber-physical systems (CPS). Complex CPS abound in modern society and it is not surprising that many of these systems are safety and mission critical that makes them a target for attacks. The talk will present principles and methods for designing and analysing resilient CPS architectures that deliver required service in the face of compromised components. A fundamental challenge is to understand the basic tenets of CPS resilience and how they can be used in developing resilient architectures. The proposed approach integrates redundancy, diversity, and hardening methods for designing either passive resilience methods that are inherently robust against attacks and active resilience methods that allow responding to attacks. In addition, we will describe a modelling and simulation integration platform for experimentation and evaluation of resilient CPS using smart transportation systems as the application domain. Evaluation of resilience is based on attacker-defender games using simulations of sufficient fidelity.

Title: Temporal Control in Multi-Component Systems
Abstract: The talk addresses the problem of providing timing guarantees in systems that consist of multiple interacting components. Without precaution, resource competition for the communication network and interference caused by incoming communication requests undermine the temporal predictability of such systems. We therefore propose to use controlled, time-triggered communication to restrict the interference between interacting components at the network level. For the realization of components, on the other hand, we provide two strategies to hide respectively avoid disturbances caused by incoming communication. The combination of these two strategies allows engineers to build multi-component systems that are fully time-predictable, i.e., they provide time-predictability and temporal control both at the system level and the component level.

Title: Tying Ethics & Teamwork Training for Computing Students - Toward Ethics-in-Action Apps
Abstract: Most Computer Science and Engineering curricula in the US require ethics training and teamwork skills and the Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology mandates that ethics and teamwork be course objectives in at least one course in these majors. However, these subjects are difficult to cover and sometimes neglected. Absent student training on specific teamwork skills, unsatisfactory team work experiences, may lead students to fear and avoid teamwork, Lingard (2010). At Harvard University, Professors Grosz (CS) and Simmons (Philosophy) have designed a ground-breaking model “EthiCS” which pairs CS faculty with Philosophy graduate students to find ethics-rich topics in CS courses and embed discussion of those topics in the curricula of each of 13 CS courses (Grosz, 2019). At the University of Alabama at Birmingham, a Computer Science professor (Sprague) and an ethicist (Diaz-Sprague) are pilot testing a 4-class period minimodule on Ethics and Teamwork embedded in CS Capstone courses and advanced ECE courses. The first two class periods offer a refresher on ethical principles and tips on moral reasoning, based on segments of video lectures by Michael Sandel: “Justice: What’s the Right Thing to Do” and Frans de Waal: “On Animal Morality.” These are followed by guided discussions in which students participate as teams. Outside of class, students read about teamwork and each student team selects and practices a teambuilding game. On days 3 and 4 the teams lead the class in playing the game. We report results and observations. Also, since the Capstone course requires students work on teams on a software engineering design project and EE485 is a prerequisite for EE498 the design course for ECE students, we are encouraging students to develop some type of moral guidance tool. The apps may be tips for de-escalating conflict, random acts of kindness or be a repository of time-tested proverbs, aphorisms, or moral codes derived from many religions or cultures. Currently, our team is running an Art, Essay of App Design Challenge or Ethics-in-Action contest, open to all interested students, regardless of institution.

Title: Multimedia processing for on-line Education
Abstract: Human desire to see, hear and feel something what is distant and far away from us and to transfer the view on life around us to far distance is a main inspiration for Communications. For more than 100 years, low quality voice transmission (phone) extended with very low speed text transmission (fax) used to be the only possibility for distant information exchange. Within couple of last years we see extraordinary change in the way of communications. Dominance of voice communications is over and multimedia communication (including texting) is a new but already common period in Communications. In spite the fact, that technology industry offers high speed communications channels, an amount of transferred data is so huge, that transfer optimization, adaptive multimedia content delivery, recommendation engine, user experience are very important keywords to fulfill user requirements for information retrieval. Telereality or visualization of distant reality seems to be a new milestone in communications. Multimedia communications bring new opportunities to many areas of our lives. Education based on modern technologies and approach offers an excellent area for new breathtaking multimedia applications in on-line education.

Title: Explainable AI and Challenges to Scholarly Review
Abstract: A critical component of the review, assessment, and dissemination of scholarly, scientific work in Artificial Intelligence is the transparency of the phenomenon. As algorithms become less demonstrably deterministic and increasingly complex, the scientific community is faced with the challenge of how to “explain” the observed phenomenon and findings. Another challenge is establishing the repeatability of the results. AI based systems increasingly do not lend themselves to classic, directly observable stimulus-response tests. A promising approach to address this lack of transparency and repeatability is to integrate research methods from the social sciences.
