SUMMARY:Security in SDN/NFV and 5G Networks-Opportunities and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Monday April 1st\, 2019 at 3:00 p.m. Dr. Ashutosh Dutta\, Director\, Industry Outreach-IEEE Communications Society\, will be presenting an IEEE ComSoc distinguished lecture “Security in SDN/NFV and 5G Networks-Opportunities and Challenges”. \nDay & Time: Monday April 1st\, 2019\n3:00 p.m. ‐ 4:00 p.m. \nSpeaker: Dr. Ashutosh Dutta\, Director\, Industry Outreach-IEEE Communications Society\, IEEE 5G Initiative Founding Co-Chair and Senior Scientist JHU/APL (Johns Hopkins University/Applied Physics Lab) \nOrganizers: IEEE Toronto ComSoc \nLocation: Room Number: BA 4287\n40 St George St\, Toronto\, ON M5S 2E4 \nContact: Eman Hammad \nAbstract: Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are the key pillars of future networks\, including 5G and Beyond that promise to support emerging applications such as enhanced mobile broadband\, ultra low latency\, massive sensing type applications while providing the resiliency in the network. Service providers and other verticals (e.g.\, Connected Cars\, IOT\, eHealth) can leverage SDN/NFV to provide flexible and cost-effective service without compromising the end user quality of service (QoS). While NFV and SDN open up the door for flexible networks and rapid service creation\, these offer both security opportunities while also introducing additional challenges and complexities\, in some cases. With the rapid proliferation of 4G and 5G networks\, operators have now started the trial deployment of network function virtualization\, especially with the introduction of various virtualized network elements in the access and core networks. These include elements such as virtualized Evolved Packet Core (vEPC)\, virtualized IP Multimedia Services (vIMS)\, Virtualized Residential Gateway\, and Virtualized Next Generation Firewalls. However\, very little attention has been given to the security aspects of virtualization. While several standardization bodies (e.g.\, ETSI\, 3GPP\, NGMN\, ATIS\, TIA) have started looking into the many security issues introduced by SDN/NFV\, additional work is needed with larger security community involvement including vendors\, operators\, universities\, and regulators. This tutorial will address evolution of cellular technologies towards 5G but will largely focus on various security challenges and opportunities introduced by SDN/NFV and 5G networks such as Hypervisor\, Virtual Network Functions (VNFs)\, SDN Controller\, Orchestrator\, Network slicing\, Cloud RAN\, and security function virtualization. This tutorial will also highlight some of the ongoing activities within various standards communities and will illustrate a few deployment use case scenarios for security including threat taxonomy for both operator and enterprise networks. In addition\, I will also describe some of the ongoing activities within IEEE Future Network initiative including roadmap efforts and various ways one can get involved and contribute to this initiative. \nBiography: Ashutosh Dutta is currently Senior Wireless Communication Systems Research Scientist and JHU/APL Sabbatical Fellow at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Labs (JHU/APL)\, USA. Most recently he served as Principal Member of Technical Staff at AT&T Labs in Middletown\, New Jersey. His career\, spanning more than 30 years\, includes Director of Technology Security and Lead Member of Technical Staff at AT&T\, CTO of Wireless at a Cybersecurity company NIKSUN\, Inc.\, Senior Scientist in Telcordia Research\, Director of Central Research Facility at Columbia University\, adjunct faculty at NJIT\, and Computer Engineer with TATA Motors. He has more than 90 conference and journal publications\, three book chapters\, and 30 issued patents.

SUMMARY:IEEE Toronto IES Chapter Seminar “Growing Role of Electrical Machines and Drives in Electrification”
DESCRIPTION:Friday March 1st\, 2019 at 5:30 p.m. Dr. Ayman El-Refaie\, Ph.D\, FIEEE\, will be presenting an IEEE Toronto IES Chapter Seminar “Growing Role of Electrical Machines and Drives in Electrification”. \nDay & Time: Friday March 1st\, 2019\n5:30 p.m. ‐ 7:00 p.m. \nSpeaker: Dr. Ayman El-Refaie\, Ph.D\, FIEEE\nThomas and Suzanne M. Werner Endowed Chair\, Marquette University\, USA \nOrganizers: IEEE Toronto IES Chapter\, UOIT \nLocation: Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science\, Room: ERC-1092\n2000 Simcoe Street North\, Oshawa\, ON L1H 0C5 \nContact: Mohamed Youssef \nAbstract: Energy sustainability is arguably one of the most critical challenges for a sustainable future. With predictions showing future scarcity and/or higher degree of extraction difficulty of traditional sources of energy for example coal\, oil and natural gas\, the shift to sustainable clean sources of energy is a must. Another key reason is the increasing detrimental impact of using fossil fuels. Over the last few decades\, there has been serious effort to replace mechanical and hydraulic systems with electrical systems. This effort also includes replacing fixed-speed and old electrical drives with higher performance variable-speed drives. This is mainly due to the higher reliability\, efficiency and robustness of electrical systems. This trend of “more electric” systems could be seen across a wide range of applications. These include traction\, aerospace\, actuation\, mining\, oil & gas\, and industrial applications as examples. This push for electrification posed a lot of challenges to develop electrical systems that meet the demanding requirements of the various applications including harsh environments\, high power density\, high efficiency and fault tolerance in safety-critical applications. At the heart of the electrification effort is the development of advanced electrical machines and drives. This presentation will provide an overview of the various applications where electrification is taking place. The presentation will focus on electrical machines and drives that have been developed or are currently under development. The presentation will also cover some general trends in electrical machines and potential areas of research. \nBiography: Ayman M. El-Refaie received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Wisconsin Madison on 2002\, and 2005 respectively. Between 2005 and 2016\, he has been a principal engineer and a project leader at the Electrical Machines and Drives Lab at General Electric Global Research Center. Since January 2017\, he joined Marquette University as the Thomas and Suzanne M. Werner Endowed Chair in sustainable and secure energy. His interests include electrical machines and drives. He has 45 journal and 75 conference publications\, with several others pending. He has 41 issued US patents and 28 US patent applications\, with several others pending. At GE\, he worked on several projects that involve the development of advanced electrical machines for various applications including\, aerospace\, traction\, wind\, and water desalination. He was the program manager and principal investigator of a $5.6M DOE-funded project to develop next generation traction motors for hybrid vehicles. He is currently the program manager and principal investigator of a $12M DOE-funded project to develop next generation traction motors for hybrid vehicles that do not include rare earth materials. He was the chair for the IEEE IAS Transportation Systems committee and an associate editor for the Electric Machines committee. He was a technical program chair for the IEEE 2011 Energy Conversion Conference and Exposition (ECCE). He was the general chair for ECCE 2014 and 2015 ECCE steering committee chair. He is the general chair of IEMDC 2019. He is a member of the IEEE Industry Applications Society executive board. He is an IEEE Fellow.

SUMMARY:The Qubit is the Transistor: Si-based Transistor and Analog-Mixed-Signal Circuit Scaling and the Natural Progression of Moore’s Law to Silicon Quantum Computing at the Atomic Scale
DESCRIPTION:Monday December 17th\, 2018 at 1:10 p.m. Dr. Sorin Voinigescu\, Professor at the University of Toronto\, will be presenting a SSCS distinguished lecture: “The Qubit is the Transistor: Si-based Transistor and Analog-Mixed-Signal Circuit Scaling and the Natural Progression of Moore’s Law to Silicon Quantum Computing at the Atomic Scale”. \nDay & Time: Monday December 17th\, 2018\n1:10 p.m. ‐ 2:30 p.m. \nSpeaker: Dr. Sorin Voinigescu\nProfessor\, University of Toronto \nOrganizers: SSCS IEEE Toronto \nLocation: Bahen Centre\, Room BA1230\n40 St George St\, Toronto\, ON M5S 2E4 \nContact: Dustin Dunwell \nAbstract: Quantum computing is a hot topic at very cool temperatures. Cool as in 10-100 mK. \nRecently\, a cold-atom physicist nonchalantly asked me the question: Why are you interested in high temperature quantum computers? High as in 4 -12 K. He was serious! Need I talk about Global Warming in such cool environments? Pluto is another option. Today\, quantum computers consist of racks of microwave and analog-mixed-signal test equipment\, FPGAs and feedback loops for error correction\, long 50-Ohm coaxial cables\, and a few qubits formed with non-linear Josephson-junction resonators\, entangled through niobium superconducting λ/4 resonators at 8-20 GHz\, biased by a DC magnetic field of up to 1 Tesla\, and whose spin is controlled by an AC magnetic field rotating in the “lab frame”. Are you still spinning? \nThere’s talk of electrons as “microwave photons”\, Larmor and Rabi frequencies\, photon-to-spin entanglement\, RAP (as in rapid adiabatic passage)\, Bloch sphere\, tensors in n-dimensional Hilbert spaces\, but also of OFDM\, phase noise\, I-Q up- and down- conversion\, Gaussian pulse modulation\, coherent π/2\, π/4 spin phase rotations in azimuth and elevation. Qubits are logic gates and memory cells at the same time. Logic gate operations consist of synchronized microwave pulses applied sequentially to the same qubits. The only probabilistic part (need I mention Schrodinger’s cats Flip and Flop?) is readout\, when the spin state is projected on the Z (DC magnetic field) axis! \nIn other words\, quantum computing is about everything you learned and thought you’d never use again\, should have learned\, or you were never taught in undergrad and grad school in math\, quantum and atomic physics\, electronics\, electromagnetics\, and computer science… \nThis talk will first attempt to demystify and translate the physics of quantum computing to an electronics engineer jargon. Next\, I will discuss the feasibility of high-temperature (2-4 K) Si and SiGe electron/hole-spin qubits and qubit integrated circuits (ICs) in commercial 22nm FDSOI CMOS technology\, and explore their scalability through simulation to 2nm dimensions\, when the coupling energy\, ΔE\, becomes comparable to thermal noise at 77-300 K. \nSilicon electron-spin and hole-spin coupled quantum-dot (QD) qubits have attracted a lot of interest recently due to their potential for integration in commercial CMOS technology. However\, like their more established superconducting cousins\, to date\, because of the low confinement and coupling energies (e.g. ΔE\, in the tens of μeV range\, comparable to the thermal noise level\, kBT\, at 100 mK) their operation has been restricted to temperatures below 100 mK. Moreover\, since cryogenic systems cannot remove more than a few μW of thermal power at 100 mK\, and the experimental laboratory (think TNC at U of T versus TSMC 7nm fab) technologies in which these qubits have been realized do not allow for fabrication of spin manipulation and readout circuitry\, the latter reside on a separate chip\, at 4 K or higher temperature. The lack of monolithic integration further degrades readout fidelity and computing speed because the atto-Farad capacitance\, high-impedance qubit needs to drive 50Ω and 100x larger capacitance interconnect off- chip. A qubit with higher confinement and coupling energies\, with spin resonance in the upper mm-wave region\, will allow for higher temperature operation\, alleviating these problems and enabling large-scale monolithic quantum computing processors. For example\, a qubit operating at 4 K would require mode splitting energies of 0.25 meV which corresponds to a spin resonance frequency of 60 GHz and require a DC magnetic field of 2.5 T. Simplifying a bit\, 240GHz spin-resonance frequencies and 9T magnetic fields should be adequate for 12K operation and 1.4 THz with an humongous magnetic field are needed for 77 K. You get the drift…\nFinally\, I will briefly review hot-off-the-press results obtained here at U of T. For the first time we report (i) integration of qubits and electronics on the same die\, (ii) strained SiGe hole-spin and strained Si electron-spin FDSOI qubits on the same die\, and (iii) propose a monolithic processor architecture which allows for short\, 10-20ps spin control pulses and high Rabi frequencies\, fRabi\, to compensate for short spin phase coherence lifetime. We also demonstrate that\, at 2 K\, MOSFETs and cascodes can be operated as QDs in the subthreshold region while behaving as classical MOSFETs and cascodes in the saturation region\, suitable for qubits and mm-wave mixed-signal processing circuits\, respectively. \nIf we still have holiday time left\, I will go through a tutorial example of how we can derive the specification for the mm-wave spin manipulation and readout circuits starting from the Hamiltonian and the measured I-V characteristics of our SiGe hole-spin qubits. I may touch on the impact of minimum-size (18nmx6nmx80nm) MOSFET ofset voltage and process variation on qubit characteristics\, on spin manipulation and readout architectural options (low phase-noise radar\, OFDM radio\, low-noise\, broadband\, ultra-high-gain TIAs)\, mm-wave switch impact and OFDM sub-carrier spacing on qubit crosstalk and isolation…Or maybe we should leave that for New Years’.

SUMMARY:Rethink Cities – A FIDIC/EFCA White Paper on Sustainable Urban Development
DESCRIPTION:Friday December 14th\, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. Laleh Farhadi\, MSc Urban and Regional Planning\, will be presenting “Rethink Cities – A FIDIC/EFCA White Paper on Sustainable Urban Development”. \nDay & Time: Friday December 14th\, 2018\n1:00 p.m. ‐ 2:00 p.m. \nSpeaker: Laleh Farhadi\, MSc Urban and Regional Planning \nOrganizers: Magnetics Chapter\, WIE IEEE Toronto \nLocation: Ryerson University\, Victoria Building (VIC)\n285 Victoria St.\, 7th Floor\, Room 736 (conference room)\nToronto\, Ontario M5B 1W1 \nContact: Reza Dibaj \nAbstract: Today\, over half of the world’s population lives in cities covering 2- 3 % of the Earth’s land area\, using 75 % of all energy and emitting 80% of all carbon dioxide. Infrastructure investments in many countries and cities are not at a desirable level or they are steered in the wrong direction while many cities are growing faster geographically than population-wise. Society has to rethink cities. \nThe FIDIC White Paper addresses the need of evolving resource efficiency in cities with increased focus on planning and making socially and economically attractive areas\, well-functioning spatial structures and energy efficient systems. \nTo meet the increasingly complex challenges of cities\, holistic and integrated approach is needed and rightly applied regarding emissions\, climate\, resilience\, climate risks\, flooding\, biodiversity\, energy and material use\, improved quality of life and social responsibility. \nBiography: Laleh Farhadi is an Urban Planner\, internationally experienced in both private and public sectors on different types of plans and projects related to the city and its ongoing challenges. \nDuring a project in Consulting Engineering Firm\, while reviewing and providing feedback for a FIDIC White Paper called “Rethink Cities”\, she faced the fact that the total built environment (not just the individual buildings) requires sustainable overall solutions that form synergies in solutions for society\, buildings\, infrastructure\, and technical systems. \nThis presentation based on FIDIC/ EFCA White Paper is a step forward to this knowledge and responsibility sharing with the hope of professional cooperation among various effecting fields in the city.

SUMMARY:Smart Connected Buildings Form the Foundation of Smart City: Today’s Possibility\, Tomorrow’s Necessity
DESCRIPTION:Monday December 10th\, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. Amir Shabani\, Ph.D.\, P.Eng.\, Canada Industrial Research Chair (IRCC) in Smart Connected Buildings\, will be presenting “Smart Connected Buildings Form the Foundation of Smart City: Today’s Possibility\, Tomorrow’s Necessity”. \nDay & Time: Monday December 10th\, 2018\n1:00 p.m. ‐ 2:00 p.m. \nSpeaker: Amir Shabani\, Ph.D.\, P.Eng.\nCanada Industrial Research Chair (IRCC) in Smart Connected Buildings \nOrganizers: Magnetics Chapter\, WIE IEEE Toronto \nLocation: Ryerson University\, Department of Computer Science\, Room 288\nGeorge Vari Engineering and Computing Centre\n245 Church Street Toronto\, ON M5B 2K3 \nContact: Reza Dibaj \nAbstract: Have you ever been or worked in a space/classroom that the air was not fresh enough\, too cold in the winter or too hot in the summer? Have you ever wondered why even a brand new LEED-certified building is not smart enough and does not let the occupants control their environment\, in terms of temperature\, lighting et cetera. \nThis presentation aims to provide some insights on the challenges the current industry of building automation is facing and the opportunities that the new advancement such as Internet of Things (IoT)\, Artificial Intelligence (AI)\, and Adaptive Machine Learning (AML) could bring to this industry to make buildings smarter and sociable. In the context of smart city\, rather than buildings being primarily treated as loads\, intelligent buildings play a significant role in saving energy and improving the comfort and productivity of the occupants; emphasizing the needs for buildings to be social: interact with occupants\, share data with each other\, learn from each other\, and help each other. \nBiography: Dr. Amir Shabani is the NSERC Industrial Research Chair (IRCC) in Smart Connected Buildings. He is the director of Intelligent Building Automation Systems (IBAS) lab at George Brown College\, Toronto\, where his research team is closely collaborating with industry leaders on deployment\, assessment\, and development of new technologies that make homes and buildings smarter and social.
