The IEEE CNNNJ has
invited Jeff Steele, National Instruments, to emcee the feature presentation
for our September meeting, and we invite everyone to come to this special event!
·
Who is National Instruments?
·
What problems can they help you solve?
Depending on when
you have looked at National Instruments you might say “They're that GPIB
Company” or “They make LabVIEW””. Traditionally, National Instruments has been
a Test & Automation company, but they have been expanding their
capabilities to assist engineers in solving control and design problems. NI
continues to expand the computing platforms that its development environments
can target to include mobile, industrial, and embedded targets. NI also
continues to expand its own hardware platforms for test, control and design.
Jeff, together with
NI engineers, will be discussing and demonstrating NI’s various development
environments and will show some NI’s hardware platforms, including FPGA-based
PLCs, PC-based RF instruments, USB-based data acquisition plus others. Some of
these platforms help engineers do rapid prototyping, hence decreasing time to
market. Other platforms might make sense
embedded into OEM products, helping to lower development costs.

Chapters together with the New Jersey Institute of Technology will host a talk
on “Wireless Sensor Networks: A New
Paradigm for Ubiquitous Sensing and Information Processing." The speaker will be Dr. Martin Haenggi.
About the Talk
Due
to the advances in wireless communications and electronics in recent years, the
development of networks of low-cost, low-power, and multifunctional sensors has
received increasing attention. These
sensors gather and process data, and communicate with each other over a
wireless channel. Various hardware
platforms have already been designed to test the many ideas spawned by the
research community and to implement applications in many fields of science and
technology. This presentation gives a
general introduction to sensor networks.
We will discuss their properties, emphasizing the differences to other
types of wireless networks, including WLANs and ad hoc networks. An overview of existing hardware solutions
for sensor networks will be given, and we will conclude by discussing future
directions and developments.

NJ EDS/C&S Chapters:
Chip-Package
Co-Design of RF Microsystems
On
October 17, 2006, the IEEE NJ Section Electron Devices, Circuits and Systems Chapters
together with the New Jersey Institute of Technology will host a talk on
“Chip-Package Co-Design of RF Microsystems." The speaker will be Professor P.R. Mukund.
About the Talk
The
design of systems that contain both RF circuitry and digital circuitry, either
in a single integrated circuit or a single package, poses challenges that are
difficult to overcome with traditional design tools. For an efficient design methodology, it is
imperative that an early design component be incorporated into the design
cycle. Further, the chip and the package
have to be designed concurrently. In
this talk, a chip package co-design methodology and a resultant software tool
will be presented. This research was
sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the Semiconductor
Corporation. In addition, related topics
of built-in self test and self calibration of RF I.C.s will also be discussed.
About the Speaker
Professor P.R. Mukund is the
Director of the RF, Analog and Mixed-signal Laboratory (RAMLAB) at R.I.T. In this capacity, he is the principal
investigator of five research projects, sponsored by both industry and
government agencies. He is currently
supervising the research of five PhD students, whose work is based on close
interaction with companies such as LSI Logic, Freescale Semiconductors,
National Semiconductors and Kawasaki LSI.
Dr. Mukund has a BSEE, MS and PhD degrees in electrical engineering from
the University of Tennessee and has seven years of industrial experience, in
addition to seventeen years of academic experience. He has co-edited IEEE Computer, chaired

NJ SP Society:
Partitioning QoS
Management for Secure Tactical Wireless Adhoc Networks
On
September 13, 2006, the IEEE North Jersey Section Signal Processing Society
along with NJIT will host a seminar on "Partitioning QoS Management for
Secure Tactical Wireless Ad-hoc Networks." The speaker will be Dr. George
F. Elmasry.
About
the Talk
Addressing
Quality of Service (QoS) in military wireless ad-hoc communication networks
involves unique challenges due to imposed tactical requirements and conditions,
such as heterogeneous traffic with stringent real-time and survivability
requirements, mobile wireless nodes in hostile environments, and limited
spectrum availability. Encryption adds another layer of complexity because the
partitioning of the network into plain text (unencrypted) and cipher text
(encrypted) parts that, by definition, cannot communicate QoS information to
one another. A typical communication shelter consists of a number of
unencrypted LANs connected to a packet-encrypted backbone network. This talk
presents a partitioned QoS approach focusing on QoS management at the
unencrypted LANs that complements QoS management done at the encrypted
backbone. Some of the outlined QoS techniques for unencrypted LANs were used
for Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (the future army tactical backbone
network).
About
the Speaker
George
F. Elmasry received his BSc degree in Electrical Engineering from Alexandria
University, Egypt, and his MS and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering from
NJIT. He currently heads the Networking and Communications Division at DSCI
with a focus on the Future Combat System (FCS) tactical networks for the US
