Computer Chapter:
Model-based Development of Embedded
Software
On Tuesday, August 2nd,
2005, the IEEE North Jersey Section Computer Chapter will host a presentation titled
“Model-based Development of Embedded Software” by Dr. Insup Lee.
About the Talk
An
embedded system typically consists of a collection of components that interact
with each other and with their environment through sensors and actuators. Examples of embedded systems include
manufacturing controllers, automotive controllers, avionic systems, medical
devices, and robots. There are many
factors, which complicate the design and implementation of embedded systems, due
to ever increasing complexity, capability, and sophistication in their
operating platforms and application requirements.
We
have been developing CHARON (www.cis.upenn.edu/mobies/charon/)
and its toolset to facilitate the development of embedded systems. CHARON is a hybrid system modeling language
that is specifically designed to support modular and hierarchical
specifications with compositional semantics.
Hybrid systems are finite state machines with continuous dynamics, and
are a natural formalism for modeling many types of embedded systems. Based on CHARON, we are developing techniques
and tools for hierarchical and distributed simulation, reachability analysis,
automatic code generation, automatic test generation, and run-time monitoring
and checking. In this talk, the
following will be presented: an overview
of CHARON, correctness of simulation, code generation, and two case studies: AIBO by SONY and infusion pump.
About the Speaker
Insup
Lee received a BS degree in mathematics from the University
of North
Carolina, Chapel
Hill,
in 1977, and PhD degree in computer science from the University
of Wisconsin, Madison,
in 1983. He is currently Professor in
the Department of Computer and Information Science at the University
of Pennsylvania,
where he has been since 1983. He was CSE
Undergraduate Curriculum Chair from September 1994 to August 1997.
His
research interests include embedded systems, real-time computing, formal
methods and tools, medical device systems, wireless sensor network, and
software engineering. He has developed
programming concepts, language constructs, and operating systems for real-time
systems. In recent years, he has
developed specification, analysis, and testing techniques based on real-time
process algebra (ACSR). In addition, he
has developed a hierarchical specification language for hybrid systems
(CHARON). Based on CHARON, he has been
developing techniques for automatic code generation and test generation. He also has been developing the run-time
monitoring and checking framework (MaC) that can be used to assure the
correctness of a running system through monitoring and checking of safety and
QoS properties; the prototype MaC system has been implemented in Java and
C. Lately, he has been developing programming
abstraction and security techniques for sensor networks, as well as applying
high-assurance techniques to medical devices software systems.
He
was Chair of IEEE Technical Committee on Real-Time Systems for 2003-2004. He has served on numerous program committees,
and also (co-) chaired several conferences and workshops, including IEEE
Real-Time Systems Symposium in 1992 and 1993, International Workshop on
Real-Time Computing Systems and Applications in
1994
and 1996, CONCUR '95 (International Conference on Concurrency Theory) in 1995,
IEEE International Symposium on Object-oriented Real-time distributed Computing
(ISORC) in 1998 and 2000, and EMSOFT in 2003.
He has been on the editorial boards of IEEE Transactions on Computers
(1995-2000), Formal Methods in System Design, Journal of Electrical Engineering
and Information Science, and Real-Time Systems Journal. He has been an IEEE CS DVP (Distinguished
Visitors Program) speaker since 2004, and is Co-Chair of IEEE CS Technical
Steering Committee on Embedded Systems.
Dr. Lee is an IEEE fellow.

NJ Consultants' Network:
Experiences in Accounting Panel
On September 29, 2005, the
IEEE Consultants’ Network of Northern NJ (CNNNJ) will host a discussion on
“Experiences in Accounting”. A panel of
experienced independent consultants will lead the discussion.
About the Talk
Independent
consultants face special problems when it comes to accounting, especially
regarding taxes and insurance. Members of CNNNJ will pool their collective
experience and knowledge and share it with the attendees for what promises to
be an entertaining panel session.
Accounting
and insurance issues will be discussed as they relate to self-employed
consultants, especially IRS rules about
1099 vs. W2, (section 530 vs. 1706), when to make estimated payments, social
security and Medicare, the difference between subchapter S and C, LLCs, and
other options, section 179 deduction rules, depreciation, home office
deductions, state specific issues, and insights into what if any liability
insurance or any compulsory insurance independent consultants should have.

NJ EDS/C&S & MTT-S/AP-S
Chapters:
Quantum Engineering of Nanoelectronic Devices
On September 21, 2005,
the IEEE NJ Section Electron Devices, Circuits and Systems Chapters together
with MTT/S/AP-S and the New Jersey Institute of Technology will host a talk on
“Quantum Engineering of Nanoelectronic
Devices." The speaker will be
Professor Vijay K. Arora.
About the Talk
Quantum
(digital-type) concepts are gaining prominence over and above classical
(analog-type) ones in miniaturized devices where nanometer size can be less
than or equal to the de Broglie wavelength of an electron in any of the three
Cartesian directions. An electric field
driving electrons in these devices can be extremely high. This converts random carrier motion to a
streamlined one, thereby limiting the velocity to thermal velocity or Fermi
velocity depending on the degeneracy of the sample. This re-organization of the carrier
velocities makes familiar Ohm’s law invalid, thereby enhancing the role of
high-field velocity saturation in performance evaluation and characterization
of nanostructures. Further, a free
flight of a carrier may be interrupted by an emission of a quantum of energy in
the form of a phonon or photon. This
emission further limits the saturation velocity and also degrades the diffusion
coefficient. The seminar will
demonstrate that a higher mobility does not necessarily lead to a higher
saturation velocity showing independence of the saturation velocity on
mobility-limiting scattering mechanisms.
A review of quantum-mechanical and high-field effects that have impact
on the design of optoelectronic devices and other nano-circuits is presented.
About the Speaker
Vijay K. Arora, a tenured
Professor of Electrical Engineering and Engineering Management at Wilkes
University, held distinguished visiting appointments at the University of
Illinois (1981-82), the University of Tokyo (1989-90), National University of
Singapore (1991-93), Nanyang Technological University (1999-2000), and the
University of Western Australia (2000-2001).
In addition to his long-term visiting appointments, Professor Arora
visits several international institutions on short-term consulting assignments
and enjoys the privilege of knowing the cultures and educational methods being
practiced around the globe. In recognition
of his research, he was invited to give presentations at several international
scientific gatherings. His research
interests include mobility limiting mechanisms in high-speed devices, including
quantum and high-field effects.
Professor Arora has authored or co-authored over 150 papers on
scientific and educational issues. As
past chair of the International Division of American Society for Engineering
Education (ASEE), he organized several international events. As chair of the 1996 ASEE Mid-Atlantic
Conference, he edited and published the proceedings entitled Re-Engineering
Education and Training for a Competitive Global Economy. Professor Arora is on the Distinguished
Lecturer Program of the IEEE Electron Devices Society and APS Forum on Industrial
and Applied Physics and is listed in several biographies. He was recently named Leading Educator of the
World 2005.

Notice to NJ Section
Engineers
Paul
Ward, a member of the NJ Section IEEE USA and Co-chair of its PACE committee,
is looking for (a donation of) electronic test equipment that can be used for
teaching electronics and electricity to students with learning disabilities
(LD) at the Craig Upper School in Lincoln Park, NJ. This school is a private institution that
receives its operating funds from either the parents of the students or some
governmental subsidy.
The
Craig Upper School
is a school dedicated to teaching LD students at the high school level,
preparing them to continue on to college or to enter the work force. It teaches a full curriculum, i.e., English,
History, Mathematics, Science, and special courses directed at LD
students. The staff is limited to
approximately fifteen (15) including office, nurse, and guidance with the
student population that ranges in the upper fifties (50) which is expected to
grow. This ratio of student-to-staff
helps to keep class size small and manageable, a class rarely exceeds seven
(7).
Paul
is trying to accumulate a couple of oscilloscopes, multimeters (analog or
digital), oscillators, and function generators, so that a Basic EE course could
be put together for a technical course and added to the present academic curriculum. The course would help the student to connect
what he or she learned in Mathematics and Science into a practical experience.
The
equipment does not have to be in perfect condition, just safe and usable.
If
you can donate such equipment, please send it to the following address:
Craig Upper School
Attn: Paul Ward
200
Comely Road
Lincoln
Park,
NJ 07035
Alternatively,
contact Paul Ward at (973) 790-1625 or PWard1130 “AT” aol.com. He will pick it up if needed.

NEWS from IEEE-USA:
Five
U.S. Technical Job
Classifications Show Employment Drop, One Shows Steep Increase
Washington
(15 June 2005) - Five major engineering and computer job classifications showed
a drop in employment in the first quarter of 2005 vs. the 2004 average, while
one showed a large increase, according to data compiled by the U.S. Department
of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
The
biggest drop was among computer hardware engineers (18,000), followed by
computer software engineers (13,000), computer programmers (8,000), electrical
and electronics engineers (8,000) and computer and information systems managers
(5,000). Contrasted with this loss of
52,000 jobs, the BLS reported a gain of 54,000 jobs among computer scientists
and systems analysts.
“While
we are encouraged by the employment growth among computer scientists and
systems analysts, the continuing shrinkage of other technical specialties
signals that all is not well in electrotechnology professions,” IEEE-USA
President Gerard A. Alphonse said.
Percentage-wise,
the computer hardware engineers workforce declined by 18.8%, while computer
scientists and systems analysts experienced 7.7% growth. The other four job classifications fell
modestly, and the overall increase in technical employment was less than 1%
(0.1).

IEEE-USA
Launches Employment Navigator to Enhance Members’ Career Vitality
Washington
(1 July 2005) - The IEEE-USA Employment Navigator allows IEEE members to
connect quickly with hiring employers, build and send effective resumes and
link to salary benchmarking and other career resources.
Employment
Navigator collects 5 million job leads from 160,000 Web sites and places them
in a single searchable database. The
information comes from corporate Web sites, job boards, government and
newspaper sites, and niche job sites (geography, industry and occupation
specific). With this tool, IEEE-member
subscribers get access to unpublished job opportunities that never leave an
employer’s website (an estimated 30% of jobs in the database).
The
portal also provides tools for resume creation and distribution, and links to
other IEEE resources like the IEEE Job Site (http://careers.ieee.org/) and
the IEEE-USA Salary Service (http://www.ieeeusa.org/careers/salary/).
In
a recent survey of Employment Navigator users, more than two-thirds rated the
tool valuable or very valuable; 75% log in daily or weekly to search for jobs;
and two-thirds reported finding leads not found on any job board.
A
six-month subscription is just $50 for IEEE members.

NEWS from IEEE-USA:
"Public Is Winner" in
Supreme Court’s Electronic File-Sharing Case; Court Protects Technological
Innovation in MGM vs. Grokster, Says IEEE-USA
Washington (30
June 2005)
- "The public wins in the Supreme Court’s unanimous decision in the
electronic file-sharing case announced on 27 June," according to IEEE-USA
Intellectual Property Committee Chair Andy Greenberg. Greenberg, who filed IEEE-USA's amicus curiae
brief in the MGM vs. Grokster case last January, said that the Court achieved a
balance between protecting against copyright infringement and promoting technological
innovation. According to IEEE-USA's
Greenberg, the Court recognized "the interests of artists in their work
and the interests of the public to have access to dynamic and innovative
technologies for obtaining and enjoying those works." As a result,
IEEE-USA asserts, the public is ensured continued access to music, art and
technology.
In
the Court's 9-0 opinion, Justice David Souter wrote that "one who
distributes a device with the object of promoting its use to infringe
copyright, as shown by clear expression or other affirmative steps taken to
foster infringement, is liable for the resulting acts of infringement by third
parties." The Supreme Court adopted an active inducement standard as
advocated by IEEE-USA in its amicus brief filed with the Court. The decision imposes liability on companies
that actively encourage or "induce" customers through words and deeds
to infringe on copyrighted material, which focuses legal scrutiny on the
company's infringing conduct rather than restricting its technology.
According
to Justice Souter, the active inducement rule "does nothing to compromise
legitimate commerce or discourage innovation having a lawful promise." He
added that patent law's commerce doctrine, now codified, "leaves breathing
room for innovation and a vigorous commerce."
Innovation
will not be stifled, according to Justice Souter, who said: "We are, of course, mindful of the need
to keep from trenching on regular commerce or discouraging the development of
technologies with lawful and unlawful potential...The inducement rule...premises
liability on purposeful, culpable expressions and conduct, and thus does
nothing to compromise legitimate commerce or discourage innovation having a
lawful promise."
IEEE-USA's
Greenberg noted: "Active inducement
has been part of patent law for more than 100 years, and has stood the test of
time. In all that time, the sky has not
fallen for technology companies in patent law," and it can be assumed
"that a parade of 'horribles' will not follow under copyright
principles."

In Action: IEEE-USA Intellectual
Property Committee Chair Shares Perspective on File-Sharing Case in USA Today
Washington (1
July 2005)
- The Supreme Court recently adopted the active inducement standard IEEE-USA
first proposed in the MGM vs. Grokster electronic file-sharing case. Andy Greenberg, IEEE-USA’s intellectual
property committee chair, shared his perspective on the opinion with a letter
published Friday in USA Today (p. 11A).
Greenberg,
who co-authored the amicus curiae brief IEEE-USA filed in the case, wrote in
USA Today that, “By adopting the active inducement standard ... the Supreme
Court found an elegant and just balance to preserve technological innovation
and prevent copyright infringement. ... This week, the public won."

IEEE Virtual Museum
Exhibit Gets Accolades
The
IEEE Virtual Museum (http://www.ieee-virtual-museum.org)
has launched its latest exhibit, "Songs in the Key of E," which
explores the numerous ways electronics have been used to create music. With examples such as the singing arc, the
theremin and the synthesizer, among others, the exhibit highlights both the
inventors of electronic instruments and the instruments themselves, and uses
audio clips to demonstrate the various sounds.
This
is the eighth IEEE Virtual Museum
exhibit since its launch in 2002. Aimed
at pre-college students and their educators, the museum explores the global
impact of electrical and information sciences and technologies to demonstrate
how relevant engineers are to society.
The new exhibit has garnered accolades for the
IEEE and the Virtual Museum
from THOMASNET (http://news.thomasnet.com/IMT/archives/2005/03/engineering_a_s.html?WT.mc_t=imt&WT.mc_n=site_entry),
a blog for the industrial market managed by Thomas Publishing Company. In addition to praising the IEEE, the
reporter noted that the IEEE Virtual Museum
is the first he's visited that is like a real museum, with "great
photos" and well-researched
"substance." He called the new
exhibit about electronic music "fascinating" and commented,
"It's warming to see just one of countless forms of engineering that is so
very human."

Inducted into New Jersey Inventors Hall of Fame
Washington
(10 June 2005) - IEEE-USA President Dr. Gerard A. Alphonse of Princeton, NJ,
was inducted into the New Jersey Inventors Hall of Fame on 23 June.
An
IEEE Fellow who holds more than 50 U.S.
patents, Alphonse is being honored for his "prolific work in diverse
cutting-edge technologies, including superconductivity, acoustic emissions and
electro-optics." Former inductees include Thomas Edison and Albert
Einstein.
"I
never dreamed of joining the ranks of such prestigious inductees,"
Alphonse said. "I feel both proud
and humbled to receive such a great honor and mark of distinction, with my name
joining those of famous inventors."
Alphonse
invented and demonstrated the world's highest performance superluminescent
diode in 1986. The device is a broadband
semiconductor light source and key component of next-generation fiber optic
gyroscopes, low coherence tomography for medical imaging, and external cavity
tunable lasers with applications to fiber optic communications.
Alphonse
is a founder and senior vice president of advanced technologies for Medeikon
Corp., an optical technology developer for medical diagnostics and therapy in Ewing,
NJ. The company is currently developing a new
product for the cardiac diagnostics industry to assist in the treatment of
coronary artery disease.
Alphonse
and three others were selected for the New Jersey Inventors Hall of Fame by the
New Jersey Research and Development Council, a nonprofit association dedicated
to creating a strong, healthy environment for the continued growth of R&D
within the state. The council also
recognizes inventors, innovators and graduate students.
The
honorees were recognized at a luncheon at the New Jersey Institute of
Technology in Newark,
NJ,
on Thursday 23 June at noon. For information on past award winners, go to www.njinvent.org.

The NJ Section Education
Committee Requests Your Feedback
The IEEE North Jersey
Section has been helping fellow engineering professionals for the last fifty
years. The Education Committee has
successfully conducted software and engineering training courses over the last
few decades. The Committee is committed
to professional development of the members and the instructors for the courses
are very qualified and experienced in their respective fields. Classes are arranged on weekday evenings or on
Saturdays provided at least fifteen candidates are available. Completion certificates are issued by IEEE
Headquarters with CEU credits for the number of training hours.
Due to the slow growth of
the economy and several other factors, registration for these courses has
diminished over the last few years. I
would urge members to send their feedback regarding what courses they would be
interested in, the format, location, and day/time, etc., by email to b.chivukula
“AT” computer.org.
