Communications Chapter:
IPTV
and Beyond
On
Tuesday,
February 13, 2007,
the North Jersey Chapter of the IEEE Communications Society will host a
presentation titled “IPTV and Beyond” by Anurag Srivastava.
About the Talk
Telecom
service providers are relying on IPTV to counter voice, video and data
("Tripleplay") threat of Cable operators by offering these services
over their hybrid fiber/DSL access infrastructure. In the first half of this talk, I will
provide an overview of the new emerging and exciting area of IPTV, and describe
the key components that make up an end-to-end IPTV system.
Today,
TV subscription is tied to a household instead of a subscriber and thus, a
subscriber typically cannot access his favorite programming outside his home
location. In the second half, I will
introduce the concept of TV roaming which enables a subscriber to carry his TV
subscription to any other place (e.g. Hotel, Friend's house), or any other
device (TV, Laptop, handheld). With just
a few keystrokes of a remote-control or laptop, a subscriber can watch his
favorite channel on any device. I will
describe the architecture of the MiViewTV system (an on-going project at Bell
Labs) and its key components.
About the Speaker
Anurag
Srivastava received his BE (EE) and MS (Comp Sci) from the Indian Institute of
Science, Bangalore
in 1997 and 1999, respectively. He has
been working as Member of Technical Staff at Networking and Network Management
Center of Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies since 2000. His research interests are in the area of
video delivery over IP networks, location based technologies in wireless
networks, MPLS and SONET/SDH networks, and in solving routing and optimization
problems in IP and Optical networks. He
has published extensively in those areas and has over 15 patents awarded or
pending. Mr. Srivastava speaks regularly
at major telecom conferences and presents his research work in industry trade
shows.

IEEE
COMSOC Distinguished Lecture: An
Overview of IT Security Forensics
On
Tuesday,
February 20, 2007,
the North Jersey Chapter of the IEEE Communications Society will host a
presentation titled “An Overview of IT Security Forensics” by Dr. Manu Malek.
About the Talk
Organizations
increasingly rely on computing and intelligent networking infrastructures as
keystones to their operations. Although
the use of this technology provides many advantages, the Internet poses a
unique set of vulnerabilities. Security
attacks, such as virus, worm and other malware attacks, are examples of threats
encountered daily by various institutions.
Against
this backdrop, it is clear that security is one of the most important IT
concerns today. Security forensics is a
discipline to identify the attackers and document their activity with
sufficient reliability to justify appropriate technical, business, and legal
responses. The discipline involves
identification, preservation and analysis of evidence of security attacks. Forensic activity takes place in a complex,
legal and social context which must be understood to fully appreciate its power
and value.
This
talk will provide an overview of security forensics and address some of the
methodologies involved. Some simple
tools will also be demonstrated as examples.
About the Speaker
Manu
Malek is Industry Professor of Computer Science and Director, Certificate in
CyberSecurity Program, at Stevens Institute of Technology. Prior to joining Stevens, he was
Distinguished Member of Technical Staff at Lucent Technologies Bell
Laboratories. He has more than 20 years
of experience in teaching, practicing, and research in communication networks
design, optimization, operations, and management. He has held various academic positions in the
US
and overseas, as well as technical management positions with Bellcore (now
Telcordia Technologies) and AT&T Bell Laboratories.
He
is the author, co-author, or editor of seven books, co-holder of two patents,
and the author or co-author of more than fifty published technical papers and
numerous technical reports in the areas of network design, computer
communications, and network operations and management.

NJ Communications Chapter:
Architectural
Supports to Resolve Physical Problems (Power, Temperature, and Soft error)
On
Thursday,
February 22, 2007,
the North Jersey Chapter of the IEEE Communications Society will host a
presentation titled “Architectural Supports to Resolve Physical Problems
(Power, Temperature, and Soft error)” by Prof. Sung Woo Chung.
About the Talk
As
process technology scales down, process/circuit techniques are not enough to
resolve physical problems – power, temperature, and soft error. In this talk, I would like to present some of
my recent architectural contributions to these issues.
1)
Power: Leakage power in instruction caches is reduced by the drowsy cache
concept and the proposed new wakeup prediction policy that utilizes branch
prediction information. The key insight
is that branch prediction can be used to selectively wake up only the needed
cache line.
2)
Temperature: a) The number of CMOS
sensors is limited due to the design budget.
The “soft” thermal sensor that is based on the activity and simple
regression can augment CMOS sensors. b) To
evaluate OS-level scheduling policies in Linux, a new thermal simulation
environment was proposed, which will be explained. c) A thermal virus can potentially incur malfunctions
and eventually hardware failure. Its
possibility and solution will be presented.
3)
Soft Error: Regarding the soft errors in
the instruction cache. Soft errors in
the instruction caches are shown to be changed into refetching with negligible
performance degradation. On the soft
errors in the logic, idle pipeline paths can be used for fault tolerance with
dissipating only small amount of power.
About the Speaker
Dr.
Sung Woo Chung received his BS in Computer Engineering from Seoul National University, Seoul,
Korea
in 1996, and his PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Seoul National University
in 2003. During his PhD courses, he
worked for IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown
Heights,
USA
as an intern for six months. After graduation,
he had worked for Samsung Electronics as a senior engineer for 2.2 years, where
he architecturally improved ARM1136 and AXI (AMBA 3.0) for Samsung's SoC (System
on Chip). In 2005, he worked as a
research scientist in University
of Virginia, Charlottesville,
USA. From 2006, he is an assistant professor in
Computer and Communication Engineering of Korea University, Seoul,
Korea.

Consultants' Network:
Building
the Foundation For a Successful Consultant Marketing Plan
On
Thursday, February 22, 2007, the IEEE Consultants' Network of Northern NJ is
pleased to present ”Building the Foundation For a Successful Consultant
Marketing Plan”, by Greg Ratta.
About the Talk
CNNNJ
is pleased to offer a non-technical presentation about building a solid
foundation for a consultant’s marketing plan.
Consultants work in a highly competitive and fast moving market where
success depends on the consultant’s ability to build an effective marketing and
delivery program around his or her particular expertise. Without self-analysis of what value one
brings to the market, there is no foundation for that program. Does your CV put your mother to sleep? Does it include generic phrases like, “self-starter”
or “works effectively alone or in teams”?
Are you a telecom engineer listening for the footsteps echoing outside
your office that will free you to strike out on your own? Are you unemployed and seeking a full time
position? If you answered “yes” to any
of these questions, this presentation has been designed for you!.
About the Speaker
Greg
Ratta is a Licensed Professional Engineer, knowledgeable about voice and data
network communication protocols, technologies and services. He is an experienced systems engineer – a
problem solver, who has provided consulting services to manufacturers and
service providers in the telecom and cable industries as well as to government
agencies within DHS and DoJ. His background
in hardware design, software development, systems analysis, network planning
and operational methods has allowed him to be an effective facilitator for his
clients in the planning and delivery of business systems and networking
solutions to satisfy business objectives and ongoing operations. He can be reached by email at greg.ratta “AT”

NJ EDS/C&S Chapters:
Deuterium
at the Si-Dielectric Interface in Nanoscale Devices
On
February 21, 2007, the IEEE NJ Section Electron Devices, Circuits and Systems
Chapters together with the New Jersey Institute of Technology will host a talk
on “Deuterium at the Si-Dielectric Interface in Nanoscale Devices." The speaker will be Dr. Durgamadhab (Durga)
Misra.
About the Talk
After
the discovery of the hydrogen/ deuterium (H/D) isotope effect, passivation of
interfaces such as Si-SiO2 and Si-high-k by deuterium instead of hydrogen is
getting significant attention for scaled CMOS devices. Deuterium passivation brings significant
improvement in hot-carrier lifetime in metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS)
transistors. Annealing in deuterium
ambient or deuterium implantation is used to incorporate deuterium at the
Si/SiO2 interface. Various methods of
deuterium incorporation (recipes) at the interface for several device
applications (CMOS, photodiodes, TFTs) will be discussed. Some device characteristics improvement after
deuterium implantation at the Si/SiO2 interface when a thin oxide is grown on implanted
silicon substrate will also be addressed.
In case of annealing thermal budget is a limiting factor whereas for
implantation, energy and implantation dose significantly influence the
interface passivation. The challenges to
retain deuterium at the Si/SiO2 interface until the completion of CMOS
fabrication process will be analyzed.
About the Speaker
Dr. Durgamadhab (Durga)
Misra is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT).
He served as the Director of Microelectronics Research Center at NJIT
for a year in 1996 and in 1997 he was on a research leave at the VLSI Research
Department of Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies at Murray Hill, New
Jersey. His general interests lie in the
areas of nanoelectronic and optoelectronic devices and circuits. His current focus is gate dielectric (both

North Jersey Spring 2007 Student Presentation
Contest
The Spring 2007 Student
Presentation Contest is coming up! The
North Jersey Section will be holding a presentation contest scheduled for March
20, 2007. This contest has been held in years
past. Its overwhelming success in
generating student participation and interest makes it a fantastic event for up
and coming engineers. This year's
contest will feature similar prizes ($$$) and have graduate and undergrad
categories.
The
main focus of the presentation contest is to give students an opportunity to
sharpen their communication skills, and help prepare for real life situations
as practicing engineers and researchers.
Additionally, the North Jersey Section contest provides an excellent
chance for students to practice for the Region I Student Paper contest in the
spring.
The
contest at the North Jersey Section level is also supplemented by awarding cash
prizes to the three best presentations in both graduate and undergrad
categories. All engineering students are
encouraged to participate in submitting team or individual presentations on any
project work related to engineering.
This local contest does not require students to write a full paper, just
a slide-based presentation on technical or non-technical work is sufficient. Senior design projects, lab projects,
personal engineering hobbies, engineering policy, etc., are great topics to
submit. Moving onto the regional contest
requires submitting a short written paper.
The
details of contest rules, judging criteria, viable topics for presentations,
and abstract form will be same as last year.
Also if you would like to get an idea of what topics would be
appropriate or how you can prepare your abstract, take a look at winners from
past years at the NNJ IEEE SAC homepage http://ewh.ieee.org/r1/north_jersey/sac/ieee.html
This
year's North Jersey Section Contest will be open to graduate and undergraduate
students and first/second/third place prizes will be awarded in each category
of $100/$75/$50. All participants MUST
REGISTER by submitting an abstract by filling in the form available at the SAC
website to qualify as a contest participant.
Time: 5:30 PM, Tuesday, March 20, 2007.
Place: Room M105 in the auditorium
in the Muscarelle Building, FDU, Teaneck, NJ. Directions available at http://www.fdu.edu/visitorcenter/directions/teaneck_map.html. Free parking is available.

IEEE Personal Email Alias
The IEEE offers a
personal e-mail Alias service in which IEEE members can register or instantly
update a personal alias of their choice (subject to availability and on a
"first-come, first-served" basis).
Messages addressed to the alias@ieee.org will automatically be forwarded
to the members real Internet e-mail address at their ISP. Over 100,000 members received more than 200
million messages using this service in 2003.
Free
Virus Scanning
9,000,000 Virus-Infected
Messages Detected in 2005!
The virus-scanning
feature helps prevent you from receiving viruses in the first place. Attachments within e-mail sent to your IEEE
alias will be scanned, and if a virus is found, the attachment will be be
deleted. An alert is then sent to both
the sender and recipient. While the IEEE
cannot guarantee that every virus will be caught, the virus scanning software
is updated daily. A service like this
typically costs $20 to $30 per year, but as an IEEE member, it is yours FREE of
charge.
Free
Spam Tagging
Members have the option
of adding a new feature to help IEEE members manage the amount of unsolicited
commercial email (UCE), or spam, they receive.
Members who elect to take advantage of this new service have the option
of either tagging or blocking possible UCE.
The service also now supports black and white listings.
This e-mail forwarding
service is available to IEEE members to simplify the myriad number of
constantly changing computer e-mail addresses.
You may choose your alias
name, but are encouraged to use a construction of your family and given names
whenever possible, to make it easier for people to contact you.
Advantages
of a Personal IEEE E-Mail Alias:
·
If you change your Internet Service Provider
and hence your e-mail address, you only have to send one correction - an update
to the IEEE.
·
If you change your employer or your location
within the company which results in a different e-mail address, you only have
to send one update - to the IEEE.
·
An e-mail address which is independent of
your service provider or employer.
·
Only one place to make changes to your
e-mail address.
·
IEEE aliases are usually easier to remember
and simpler to use than the real address.
·
An e-mail address which associates you with
the IEEE.

News
from IEEE-USA:
Medicare Facing Future
Bankruptcy: “IEEE-USA Today’s Engineer
Online” Cites $30 Trillion Unfunded Liability
Washington (29 December 2006) - Because of rising
healthcare costs, advancing technology, and an aging U.S.
population, predicting future Medicare spending is difficult. In 2005, the unfunded liability for Medicare
was projected to be close to $30 trillion, according to the current issue of
IEEE-USA Today’s Engineer Online.
“How
well we deal with the funding issue will affect the extent to which we push
costs forward to future generations,” Today’s Engineer author George McClure writes
in “Fixing Medicare: An Intergenerational Dilemma.”
Medicare
is a federal health insurance program for people 65 and older, disabled people
under 65 and those with end-stage renal disease. Three-quarters of Medicare costs are covered
by the program; the remainder by recipients.
With
the expected growth in those eligible for benefits and the uncertainty of
future healthcare costs, Medicare Part A, which covers hospital services, is
expected to run out of money by 2018.
The prescription drug program (Medicare Part D) is also unfunded. To prevent the projected shortfall, some
combination of cutting benefits, raising premiums or increasing the payroll tax
will have to implemented, according to Today’s Engineer.
“The
earlier that actions are taken to avert the looming crisis, the easier those
actions will be,” McClure writes. “But
the politics are daunting.”
