NJ Control Systems Chapter:
Efficient
Simulation-based Stochastic Optimization and Its Application to Network Design
and Management
On
November 8, 2006, the IEEE North
Jersey Section Control Systems Chapter will host a presentation titled
“Efficient Simulation-based Stochastic Optimization and Its Application to
Network Design and Management.” The
speaker will be Professor Chun-Hung Chen.
About the Talk
Discrete-event
simulation is a popular tool for designing large, complex, stochastic systems,
since closed-form analytical solutions generally do not exist for such
problems. While the advance of new
technology has dramatically increased computational power, efficiency is still
a big concern when using simulation for large system design, in which case many
alternative designs must be simulated.
This presentation gives our new development to address such an
efficiency issue. A key component of our
methodologies is a new control-theoretic simulation technique called Optimal
Computing Budget Allocation invented by the speaker. Another key technique is
Ordinal Optimization, which concentrates on finding a subset of good designs by
approximately evaluating a parallel set of designs and obtains an exponential
convergence rate. We will demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach via a
series of network design problems. We
will also present an on-going project about efficient simulation and management
of the US
air traffic network.
About the Speaker
Dr.
Chen received his Ph.D. degree in Engineering Sciences from Harvard University.
Dr. Chen is an Associate Professor of Systems Engineering & Operations
Research at George Mason University, Fairfax,
VA. He was an
Assistant Professor of Systems Engineering at the University
of Pennsylvania before joining
GMU. His research interests include stochastic systems modeling and simulation,
optimization, network management, systems design under uncertainty, and air
traffic management. Dr. Chen currently leads NSF-sponsored research in
developing efficient network simulation methodologies, and leads NASA-sponsored
research in national air transportation simulation modeling. Dr. Chen won the
1994 Harvard University Eliahu I. Jury Award for the Best Thesis in the field

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
several IEEE international conferences and is currently on the Steering
Committee of the IEEE International SoC Conference. He has published in the area of analog and RF
integrated circuit design, in refereed forums.

Chapters together with the New Jersey Institute of Technology will host a talk
on “Theory and Applications of SEM/FIB DualBeam Instrumentation." The speaker will be Dr. Lucille A. Giannuzzi.
About the Talk
The
basic concepts of ion-solid interactions and focused ion beam (FIB) instrumentation
and theory will be presented. Examples
of basic FIB milling and the uses of gases for chemical vapor deposition and
gas enhanced etching will be given. The
first uses of FIB in the semiconductor industry for device modification and
circuit repair have extending into many applications, materials research, and
industrial markets. The applications of
FIB and DualBeam usage on multiple material systems in numerous industries have
been realized, and examples of FIB milling for many material systems will be
shown. Uses of the DualBeam platform for
nanotechnology applications will be described, showing that the utilization of
such a tool is limited only by one’s imagination. FIB milling techniques for specimen
preparation for scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron
microscopy (TEM), and other analytical tools will be presented. In particular, the ex-situ lift-out and
in-situ lift-out TEM techniques will be presented in detail, and the applications
of these specimen preparation methods for many TEM and Scanning TEM techniques
will be emphasized. The concepts and
advantages of a dual platform FIB and scanning electron microscope (SEM) will
be discussed. In particular, the
development of the combined FIB/SEM DualBeam instrumentation as a nano-lab and
a 3D characterization tool which including microstructure, elemental
composition, and crystallographic information will be given. Examples of using the DualBeam as a 30 keV
scanning transmission electron microscope will also be presented.

NJ PES/IAS Chapters:
Energy Conservation
Series - Retro-Commissioning
On
October 18, 2006, as part of an ongoing series of free seminars on the topic of
energy conservation, the PES and IAS Chapters will sponsor an evening
discussion on Retro-Commissioning by Keith Rinaldi.
About
the Meeting
Are
calibration and scheduling issues unnecessarily increasing your operating
costs? Are you confident that mold and
indoor air quality issues are not a problem in your facility? Just because space temperature and humidity
control are excellent, doesn’t mean the HVAC systems are as efficient as they
can be.
Retro-commissioning
is a rigorous and systematic process of discovering and correcting HVAC/
utility system defects in existing systems so that the building will function
as intended. The presentation will
include of overview of the retro-commissioning process and its stages of
discovery and analysis. With simple
paybacks of less than 12 months, retro-commissioning can be a quick and easy
way for you to lower your energy costs and increase your building’s efficiency.
Attendees
will gain a basic understanding of the process and its benefits and what to
look for in a qualified retro-commissioning provider.
About
the Speaker

Digital
Image Forensics
On
October
10, 2006,
the IEEE North Jersey Section Signal Processing Society along with NJIT will
host a seminar on "Digital Image Forensics." The speaker will be Dr. Yun Q. Shi.
About
the Talk
In
our digital age, digital media have been being massively produced, easily
manipulated, and swiftly transmitted almost anywhere and anytime. Digital data forensics, which gathers
evidence of data composition, origin, and history, is called for information
assurance. In this talk we discuss three
subjects in forensics. First, we report
a newly developed method to detect spliced images, in which statistical moments
of characteristic functions derived from image magnitude and phase congruency
derived from image phase are utilized for image tampering detection. We then briefly present a Markov process
based steganalytic scheme, which can effectively detect existence of data embedded
by modern steganography, in particular, OutGuess, F5 and MB. Finally, we show a generalized Benford law,
which can be used to detect JPEG compression history for bmp images.
About
the Speaker

Studying
Brain Connectivity with Multimodal NeuroImaging for Better Understanding Neural
Networks of Human Cognitive Process
On
October
11, 2006, the
IEEE North Jersey Section Signal Processing Society along with NJIT will host a
seminar on "Studying Brain Connectivity with Multimodal NeuroImaging for
Better Understanding Neural Networks of Human Cognitive Process." The speaker will be Dr. Zhishun Wang.
About
the Talk
Distributed
networks (connections among different regions) of the brain govern human
behavior. It becomes increasingly clear
that such connections can be non-invasively detected by using functional
magnetic resonance imaging (functional MRI or fMRI). As a powerful tool of non-invasive brain
mapping, fMRI has evolved in various domains into a methodology for addressing
questions with regard to functional topography, for testing hypothesis about functions
of brain structures and networks, and for elucidating the underlying
neurophysiological mechanisms. Some have
started to explore the potential of fMRI measures as endophenotype markers for
psychopathological disorders. A common
objective in functional imaging is to characterize the activity in a particular
brain region in terms of the interactions among inputs from other regions or by
the interaction between inputs from another region’s activity and a behavior
state. The analysis of fMRI time-series
data recorded from human brain can provide information not only about
task-related activity, but also about the connectivity (functional or
effective) among brain regions and the influences of behavioral or physiologic
states on that connectivity. One of the
exciting possible applications of such an analysis is that researchers could
use the information based on the functional connectivity extracted from fMRI
data primarily to make inferences about human cognitive process.
During
this presentation, Dr. Wang will extensively introduce his works in studying
brain connectivity with Multimodal (Multimodality) NeuroImaging techniques,
including fMRI, Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
(MRS), EEG, Optical Imaging and their combinations. Dr. Wang has developed two neural network
models, Generalized Minimum Fuel Neural Networks (GMFNN) and Constrained Least
Absolute Deviation Neural Networks (CLADNN) that are suitable for the robust
analysis of functional connectivity from fMRI time series. Dr. Wang has proposed a novel clustering
method, called Partner Matching (PM) for automatically identifying independent
components that represent neuronal and non-neuronal sources and are generated
by applying an ICA
algorithm to fMRI datasets. By using PM
algorithm and combining fMRI with DTI-based fiber tracking, as the first time
with a non-invasive method, Dr. Wang and his group have successfully revealed
and reconstructed the spatial-temporal pattern of functional and anatomical
connectivity in the motor cortex, which had a great agreement with the accepted
neuronal circuitry of motor cortex detected previously by using invasive
electrophysiological methods. In this
talk, Dr. Wang will also introduce his works in applying nonlinear theory and
methods to neuroimaging data, for example, nonlinear numerical feature
extractions (Lyapunov exponents, fractal dimensions, approximate entropy) of
Amygdala and Hippocampus. They have
found that normal children and the children with psychiatric disorders (ADHD)
differ in fractal dimensions of Amygdala and Hippocampus.
