NJ Computer and EMS Society Chapters:
Business Process Management Tools
On Tuesday, January 24, 2006, the North
Jersey Chapters of the IEEE Computer Society and the IEEE Engineering
Management Society will jointly host a presentation on “Business Process
Management Tools” by Arthur J. Hedge III.
About the Talk
Business
Process Management is a key enterprise software category that has emerged over
the past several years. There are over
100 vendors that develop products in this market. BPM tools allow organizations to design,
automate, and manage the activities of knowledge workers from within one
platform.
In
this presentation, we will present a detailed description of the various
software elements that together comprise a BPM solution. The end goal of the first stage of business
process improvement is to design the “To-Be” process, the process that will be
automated using a BPM tool. This stage
needs to produce a model of a business process, and there are several software
tools available with which to accomplish this, such as graphical design tools,
process templates, form generators, etc.
This presentation will give a detailed description of these and the
other tools that comprise a BPM engine.
This
presentation is based on the first of a series of three articles by the speaker
for AIIM E-DOC magazine (www.edocmagazine.com).
About the Speaker
Arthur J.
Hedge III is President of Castle Ventures.
He focuses on helping companies reduce costs and operate more
effectively by improving their business processes. Mr. Hedge has over 20 years of consulting
expertise, focused on large-scale application development. He is also a member of the AIIM Document
Management standards committee. Mr.
Hedge is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

NJ Consultants' Network:
New Client Development for
the Technical Professional
On Thursday,
February 23, 2006, the IEEE Consultants' Network of Northern NJ is pleased to
present “New Client Development for the Technical Professional”, presented by
David Mills & Ed McCauley, courtesy of the Sandler Sales Institute.
About the Talk
As technical
professionals we often give away valuable information and expertise without any
commitment as to what they will do with it once they have it. This puts many of us in chase mode, making it
difficult to manage our time effectively and forecast concisely.
It doesn’t matter
what you call it – client development, practice-building, or marketing,
everyone sells. But not everyone is
comfortable selling. You are not alone
if you are uncomfortable with the fact that part of your job requires that you
“sell” your ideas, your company and services to your clients.
Many people
perceive sales as exploitative and even manipulative but selling doesn’t have
to be a bad word; it CAN be just another way of looking at providing a
solution. Selling is a respectable and
profitable part of your profession, and a necessary function of marketing and
growing your business. It’s a necessary
skill in today’s competitive marketplace.
Sales is not a mystical
art or the domain of those with certain personalities. Rather, successful selling is dependant upon
the process we use and who is in charge of leading it.
Join David Mills,
Principal of the Sandler Sales Institute, for a comprehensive, highly interactive
program designed to help you take greater charge of the sales process, avoid
unpaid consulting, deal with money issues and get commitments while building
better relationships with your Clients.
Discover how
traditional sales practices:
• Turn you into an unpaid consultant
• Why prospective clients always want to
think-it-over
• And why traditional approaches lead to
price-cutting
During this program
we will learn how to:
• Enhance account development strategies.
• Effectively manage existing client
relationships and referral development.
• Develop the appropriate networking and
prospecting activities.
• Conduct presentations that will permit the
client to say “yes” without pressure from you!
• Help your organization develop a larger
client base.
• Learn why people really buy.

NJ EDS/C&S Chapters:
Innovations in Light-Emitting Diodes
for Solid-State Lighting Applications
On March
22, 2006,
the IEEE NJ Section Electron Devices, Circuits and Systems Chapters together
with the New Jersey Institute of Technology will host a talk on “Innovations in
Light-Emitting Diodes for Solid-State Lighting Applications." The speaker will be Dr. E. Fred Schubert.
About the Talk
The
use of highly efficient semiconductor light-emitting diodes (LEDs) suitable for
illumination applications will enable huge energy savings, reduction in
green-house gas generation, and
reduction
of environmental pollution. Luminous
source efficiencies exceeding 300 lm/W and color-rendering indices (CRIs)
greater 90 are feasible with solid-state sources. This talk discusses critical issues in
solid-state lighting, including practical limits to efficacy and efficiency,
and scalability of chip size and current density. Possible solutions to current
device-performance limitations are presented: A new type of triple-layer
omni-directional reflector (ODR) with a mirror loss that is two orders of
magnitude lower than the mirror losses of either metal reflectors or
distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs). One
layer of the reflector consists of a new class of dielectric materials,
low-refractive-index materials, with a very low refractive index, close to that
of air. The low-index material is based
on highly porous SiO2 and is deposited by oblique-angle evaporation. We will also present results on white LEDs
with remote phosphor distributions. Such
phosphor distributions offer higher efficiency than conventional proximate
phosphor distributions. Solid-state
sources based on LEDs have advantages not offered by conventional light
sources, namely tunability and adaptability.
In contrast to conventional incandescent and fluorescent sources, future
smart light sources based on LEDs offer control of their spectral composition,
spatio-chromatic emission pattern, temporal modulation, polarization, and color
temperature. This will allow for
fundamental innovations in bio-imaging, communications, circadian lighting, and
the optimization of light sources for specific applications. Several specific application areas will be
discussed.

GOLD:
Engineers Meet:
Happy New Year - Where Do
We Go From Here?
On Wednesday, January 11, 2006, the North Jersey Section Professional
Activities Committee and Graduates of the Last Decade will meet to discuss the
engineering profession.
About the Meeting
Engineering, especially EE, and Computer
Science employment in the US have been in a recession since the telecom bust of
2002. It’s easy to blame the usual
suspects; outsourcing, hi tech immigration, the NSF, inflated shortage
projections by government, industry and academia, low achievement in science
and tech education. Some detected
shortcomings of the profession during the 1970’s.
What’s the career path for the engineer of
the future? Several grassroots groups
have sprung up taking very different paths to attack the issue. Can any of them be successful? What’s the IEEE doing?
The engineering profession needs help if it’s
going to offer a viable career and profession.
The old status quo will not work.
What do we do? Get political; get organized; make friends in
high places; unionize. What’s your
opinion? It’s time to come together to
save the profession we love. We all need
to get involved. Remember; “If you’re
not part of the solution; you’re part of the problem!”
About the Speaker
Mark Carangi is a Senior Member of the IEEE
with over 25 years experience in digital design and product test. Mark has an MSEE from Ohio University and an

NJ Signal Processing Chapter:
Progressive Visual
Cryptography
On
January 5, 2006, the IEEE North Jersey Section Signal Processing Chapter along
with NJIT will host a talk on “Progressive Visual Cryptography.” The speaker will be Dr. Wei-Qi Yan.
About
the Meeting
Visual
cryptography is a powerful technique which combines the notions of perfect
ciphers and secret sharing in cryptography with that of raster graphics. In
this talk, we introduce a novel technique which enables visual cryptography of
color as well as grayscale images. With the use of halftoning and a novel
microblock encoding scheme, the technique has a unique flexibility which allows
a single encryption of a color image but allows three types of decryptions on
the same ciphertext. Finally, a computation based decryption scheme makes the
perfect recovery of the original image possible. Based on this basic scheme, we
have then established a progressive mechanism to share color images at multiple
resolutions. In this talk, we also consider the problem of precise alignment of
printed and scanned visual cryptography shares. Due to the vulnerabilities in
the spatial domain, we have developed a frequency domain alignment scheme. We
employ the Walsh transform to embed watermark in both of the shares so as to
find the alignment position of these shares.

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

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.

IEEE-USA Applauds
Rep. Pascrell for Introducing H-1B Reform Legislation
Washington
(21 November 2005) - IEEE-USA applauds Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-NJ) for
introducing legislation that attempts to correct some of the "serious
problems" in the H-1B temporary
visa program.
Rep.
Pascrell's bill, H.R. 43278, the "Defend the American Dream Act of
2005," introduced on 17 November, is designed to provide greater workforce
protections for U.S. citizens and H-1B visa holders. It would require all employers, not just
so-called "H-1B-dependent companies," to attest to good-faith efforts
to actively recruit U.S. workers for jobs employers propose to fill with H-1B
workers. And it prohibits the
outplacement (i.e., outsourcing, leasing or contracting) of H-1B workers by
H-1B employers to other companies.
"In
report after report, government investigators have found serious weaknesses and
failings in the H-1B program," IEEE-USA President Gerard A. Alphonse
said. "Contrary to the law's
intent, the program can be used to fill any job at almost any wage, and the
vast majority of employers are not required to recruit American workers
first. IEEE-USA applauds Rep. Pascrell
for drafting a bill that addresses these serious problems."
In
evaluating the H-1B program for the FY 2006 budget cycle, the federal Office of
Management and Budget found, "The [current H-1B] statute waives a labor
market test, does not require submission of supporting documentation by
employers, [and] limits the Department of Labor’s authority to review or
question [applications]... [,leaving] the program vulnerable to fraud or
abuse." According to IEEE-USA, Rep. Pascrell's bill will fix these flaws
and ensure that the statute aligns with the intent of the program.
The
bill also seeks to strengthen prevailing wage protections for foreign workers
because, as viewed by IEEE-USA, the current protections are ineffective and can
be easily taken advantage of by employers seeking to pay lower wages than they
would pay to comparably skilled Americans.
Rep. Pascrell highlighted the bill at a news conference held earlier
today (on 21 Nov.) in Paterson, NJ.

Wall Street
Journal Rebuts Engineer Shortage Claims, IEEE-USA Committee Chair Quoted
Washington
(16 November 2005) - The Wall Street Journal today rebuts claims of a shortage
of U.S. engineers by saying that difficulty filling positions is often caused
by employers being too choosy in the hiring process.
In
“Behind Shortage of Engineers: Employers Grow More Choosy,” author Sharon
Begley writes that “… companies often create the very shortages they decry by
insisting on applicants who meet every item on a detailed list of
qualifications.”
Michael
Teitelbaum, a demographer with New York’s Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, said,
"No one I know who has looked at the data with an open mind has been able
to find any sign of a current shortage.”
Paul
Kostek, chair of the IEEE-USA Career & Workforce Policy Committee said,
"Every few years there is a spurt of panic that we won't have enough
engineers in five years. And I say to
myself, gee, I'll still be here."
IEEE-USA
staff contributed information to Ms. Begley, directed her to Teitelbaum and
arranged the Kostek interview.

President Voices Support for Permanent Immigration of High-Tech Workers in
Published Column
Washington
(22 November 2005) - In “Seeing the Light on H-1B Visas,” IEEE-USA President Gerard
A. Alphonse writes that to ensure the United States’ continuing technological
leadership, “IEEE-USA has long favored the permanent immigration of skilled
foreign-born engineers and scientists as a much better solution than using
temporary H-1B visas.”
Writing
in the 21 November issue of Computerworld magazine, Alphonse characterizes the
H-1B program as “plagued by myth and abuse,” and cites examples of how flaws in
the program hurt U.S. workers and H-1B visa holders. He encourages Congress not to add more H-1B
visas to a “flawed system.”

IPv6 Transition Should be Part of National
Innovation Debate, Says IEEE-USA President
Washington
(9 December 2005) - In a keynote address delivered this morning to the U.S.
IPv6 Summit in Reston, Va., IEEE-USA President Gerard A. Alphonse urged
participants to raise widespread adoption of the Internet Protocol version 6
(IPv6) by Japan, China, Korea and other Asian countries as an issue in the current
national policy discussion on U.S. competitiveness and innovation policy.
"Despite
its importance, breadth, and all the potential services it will enable
worldwide, the current high-level debate has not identified IPv6 as an
innovation opportunity of national significance," Dr. Alphonse said. He added: "That's unfortunate because we
know that Asian, European and other nations are working very diligently on
IPv6, or are even seeking dominance in setting its standards." While
praising a recent government directive requiring federal agencies to adopt IPv6
implementation plans, the IEEE-USA president cautioned: "We shouldn't kid
ourselves that the Office of Management and Budget's directive is the same as a
national vision, mission and action plan for the United States, and equivalent
to the plans already in place in Japan, China and Korea."
See
the text of Alphonse’s remarks at: http://www.ieeeusa.org/communications/presidentscolumn/Alphonse/alphonsedec05.html
The
U.S. IPv6 Summit brought together senior military, government and political
leaders, academics, and business executives in information technology and
research and development who share a common interest in IPv6
implementation. The 2006 summit focused
on IPv6 transition and how the "New Internet" will help create
innovative new businesses and jobs.
For
more information, see http://www.usipv6.com/.
In
October, IPv6 Summit Chair Alex Lightman told "IEEE-USA Today’s
Engineer" that the "New Internet has the potential to create
10-million new American jobs and trillions of dollars in revenue for the United
States, but leadership is slipping away to other countries, and it will soon be
difficult, if not impossible to recover."
