SUMMARY:Symposium on Smart Cities and Transportation
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 7th at 6:00 p.m.\, join us to hear from expert speakers providing us with an introduction to smart cities and a great overview on the plans and current projects that the city of Toronto is implementing in order to make our community more efficient and one of the top technological cities in North America. \n \nDay & Time: Wednesday\, March 7\, 2018\n6:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. \nSpeakers:\nLucia Casacia – Presentation Slides\nVice President\, Cities and Infrastructure Projects\, Siemens Canada \nDr. Tom Murad\nCountry Lead – Engineering\, Technology & Academic Relations\, Siemens Canada \nGregg Loane – Presentation Slides\nManager\, ITS Capital Delivery for the City of Toronto \nFahad Khan – Presentation Slides\nProject Lead\, City of Toronto \nNatasha Apollonova – Presentation Slides\nAssociate Vice President\, Policy\, Toronto Board of Trade \nLocation: Room 2106\, Sidney Smith Hall\, University of Toronto\n100 St George St\, Toronto\, ON M5S 3G3 \nContact: Omid Alizadeh \nRegister: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/168324 \nOrganizer: This seminar is organized by IEEE Toronto’s Industry Relations Committee and the Power & Energy Chapter\, in collaboration with Siemens Canada IEEE Committee and Ontario Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE)\, and IEEE University of Toronto Student Branch. \nLight refreshments will be provided. \nAbstract & Agenda: \nIntelligent infrastructure paves the way for smarter\, more integrated systems that keep economies running and contribute to economic success\, efficiency savings\, and economics of scales. Buildings not only offer space for working and living\, they are also capital investments. Their value can be maintained only if they are operated cost-effectively. A constant reliable energy supply is central for economic growth and stability\, as well as social wellbeing. However today’s grids were not designed to handle the growing power requirements or the increasing proportion of fluctuating power generated from renewable sources. Transportation of people and goods is a top priority for metropolitan areas. Population growth\, congestion and the growing demand for mobility all place increasing burdens on transport systems with negative impacts for businesses\, residents and overall quality of life. A Smart City applies state-of-the-art solutions enabled and improved by holistic Integration for the sake of the people\, of the administration\, of the business as well as of the environment. \n6:00 pm-6:30 pm: Opening \n6:30 pm-7:00 pm: Introduction to Smart Cities by Lucia Casacia\, Vice President\, Cities and Infrastructure Projects\, Siemens Canada & Dr. Tom Murad\, Country Lead – Engineering\, Technology & Academic Relations\, Siemens Canada \n7:00 pm-7:20 pm: Transportation Initiatives and Vision of the City of Toronto by Gregg Loanne\, Manager of ITS\, City of Toronto \n7:20 pm-7:40 pm: Preparing for Automated Vehicles at the City of Toronto by Fahad Khan\, Project Lead\, City of Toronto \n7:40 pm-8:00 pm: Focusing on Smart to Move Toronto from Good to Great by Natasha Apollonova\, Associate Vice President\, Policy\, Toronto Board of Trade \n8:00 pm-8:10 pm: Open Panel Discussion on Job Opportunities in Technology Infrastructure and Smart Cities \n8:10 pm-8:20 pm: Q&A \n8:20 pm-8:30 pm: Closing \nBiography:\nLucia Casacia\nAs the Vice President\, Cities and Infrastructure Projects\, Lucia leads Siemens Canada’s strategic focus on cities account management in order to leverage federal\, provincial and municipal government infrastructure investment in cities across Canada.

SUMMARY:ComSoc Seminar: “Coding Near Shannon-Theoretic Limits in Control”
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, March 23rd at 11:00 a.m.\, Professor Victoria Kostina\, California Institute of Technology\, will be presenting an IEEE ComSoc seminar: “Coding Near Shannon-Theoretic Limits in Control”. \nDay & Time: Friday\, March 23\, 2018\n11:00 a.m. ‐ 12:00 p.m. \nSpeaker: Professor Victoria Kostina\nCalifornia Institute of Technology \nLocation: Room GB221\, Galbraith Building\, University of Toronto\n35 St George St\, Toronto\, ON M5S 1A4 \nContact: Toronto_Chapter@comsoc.org \nOrganizer: IEEE Toronto Communications Society \nAbstract: We adopt a Shannon-theoretic view of remote stochastic linear control\, showing coding theorems linking the amount of information passed through the feedback loop to several operational scenarios of interest. The controller aims to minimize a quadratic cost function in the state variables and control signal\, known as the linear quadratic regulator (LQR)\, while communicating to the system via a rate-limited channel. For several channels of interest\, namely\, variable-length rate-limited noiseless channels\, rate-limited packet drop channels\, Gaussian channels\, and biomolecular channels\, we propose coding strategies that can approach these information-theoretic limits. \nBased on joint works with B. Hassibi\, A. Khina\, A. Khisti\, E.R. Gårding\, G. M. Pettersson\, Y. Nakahira\, F. Xiao\, J. C. Doyle. \nBiography: Victoria Kostina joined Caltech as an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering in the fall of 2014. She holds a Bachelor’s degree from Moscow institute of Physics and Technology (2004)\, where she was affiliated with the Institute for Information Transmission Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences\, a Master’s degree from University of Ottawa (2006)\, and a PhD from Princeton University (2013). She is a recipient of the 2013 Princeton Electrical Engineering Best Dissertation Award\, the 2015 Simons-Berkeley research fellowship\, and the 2017 NSF CAREER award. Her research interests lie in information theory\, theory of random processes\, coding\, wireless communications\, and control.

However\, often\, access to electricity is taken for granted. We don’t think about the complexity of the electrical grid and the amount of impressive sophisticated engineering designs that go into it. \nIEEE Industrial Relations Committee is excited to be hosting a series of educational seminars that aim to give participants an insight into the planning\, designing and work that goes into operating the grid to make sure we have a reliable access to electricity every minute of every day. \nThe Topic of the first seminar on Thursday\, March 29\, 2018\, is ‘Distribution Planning’. The fundamental objective of Distribution Planning is to provide an orderly and economic plan for additions to\, and changes in the power system’s equipment and facilities so that it can continue to meet future electrical demands with an acceptable level of reliability and at the lowest possible cost. \nThe seminar will provide: \n– An overview of Ontario’s Power System\n– A detailed overview of the Planning Process\n– Review of the Utility’s Loading & Outage Reports\n– Documentation of stations\, feeder and system peak loading\n– Load Growth Rate\n– Model of distribution system & predict expected system deficiencies in accordance with established planning criteria\n– Identify supply options to mitigate system deficiencies\n– Evaluate and rank the supply options in terms of economic and technical merits\n– Obtain approval for the recommended option\n– Provide Planning Specifications for the preferred option\n– Issue project for implementation \nBiography: Joe Bonadie\, has over 30 years of experience in the Electrical Distribution business. He has worked for a number of Ontario’s Local Distribution Companies (LDC’s) in various capacities including System Planning Engineer\, Supervising Project Engineer\, Senior Distribution. Performance Engineer and Manager of Engineering Services and Contracts. \nAs manager of Engineering Services (Ontario Hydro/Hydro One) Joe’s responsibility included the Voltage Conversion Program for Ontario with an initial budget of $20M. \nJoe Co-Authored an IEEE technical paper on “Series Capacitors\, Application on Distribution Systems” and was presented at the IEEE winter meeting in Atlanta in 1990. Most recently\, Engineers Canada bestowed Joe with the title of “Fellow Engineers Canada (FEC)“ for advancing the Profession through some 25 years of volunteer work with the Association of Professional Engineers Ontario. \nJoe has thorough knowledge and understanding of the planning\, design\, construction\, and operation of the distribution system including the appropriate standards for both underground and overhead distribution system.
