While most of the initial successes were related to image\, speech and language recognition\, a recent important development has been the application of these techniques to other areas. In particular\, communications systems can benefit from applying these techniques. For example\, algorithms such as Monte Carlo Markov Chain and Monte Carlo Tree Search have been successfully used in the design of MIMO (i.e.\, multiple antenna) transceivers. In addition\, highly quantized implementations\, such as binarized networks\, have led to implementations that are well-suited to power-limited mobile platforms. In addition\, metaheuristic optimization techniques such the genetic algorithm and others have been used to automatically find highly efficient deep learning architectures\, eliminating the need for lengthy and tedious manual experimentation. This lecture will describe these approaches and present some recent design examples. Relationships between the algorithms will be emphasized\, and important computational issues will be highlighted.

Current biosensors are lacking precision\, bulky\, and costly\, as well as they require long detection times\, sophisticated infrastructure and trained personnel\, which limit their application areas. My laboratory is focused on to address these challenges by exploiting novel optical phenomena at nanoscale and engineering toolkits such as nanophotonics\, nanofabrication\, microfluidics and data science. In particular\, we use photonic nanostructures based on plasmonics and dielectric metasurfaces that can confine light below the fundamental diffraction limit and generate strong electromagnetic fields in nanometric volumes. In this talk I will present how we exploit nanophotonics and combine it with imaging\, biology\, chemistry and data science techniques to achieve high performance biosensors. I will introduce ultra-sensitive Mid-IR biosensors based on surface enhanced infrared spectroscopy for chemical specific detection of molecules\, large-area chemical imaging and real-time monitoring of protein conformations in aqueous environment. Next\, I will describe our effort to develop ultra-compact\, portable\, rapid and low-cost microarrays and their use for early disease diagnostics in real-world settings. Finally\, I will highlight label-free optofluidic biosensors that can perform one-of-a-kind measurements on live cells down to the single cell level\, and provide their prospects in biomedical and clinical applications.\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/283055 URL:https://ieee.org.il/event/tau-seminar-nanophotonics-enabling-technology-for-next-generation-biosensors/ LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/283055 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Jerusalem:20210119T110000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Jerusalem:20210119T123000 DTSTAMP:20260406T135407 CREATED:20220525T132636Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220610T083412Z UID:1265-1611054000-1611059400@ieee.org.il SUMMARY:Sensor interfacing in the edge: small\, sound\, smart! - Prof. Georges Gielen\, KU Leuven\, Belgium DESCRIPTION:The continuous progress of CMOS semiconductor technology fuels the technological revolution towards a smart world that immersivly impacts our daily life\, work and play.

Users together with the offchain channels form a graph\, known as the offchain network topology. A pair of users can employ a payment even without a direct channel through a path of channels involving other intermediate users. The offchain topology and payment characteristics affect network performance such as latency and fees.\nWe study basic demand-aware problems in offchain network design: Efficiently mapping users to an offchain topology of a known structure as well as constructing a topology of a bounded number of channels that can serve well typical payments. Likewise\, we suggest an approach for jointly serving multiple payments by finding an equivalent set of payments that has the same impact on user balance but can be served efficiently in a given topology.\nSpeaker(s): Ms. Julia Khamis\,\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/283117 URL:https://ieee.org.il/event/ce-club-seminar-demand-aware-optimization-in-offchain-networks/ LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/283117 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Jerusalem:20210209T180000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Jerusalem:20210209T193000 DTSTAMP:20260406T135407 CREATED:20220525T132636Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220610T083411Z UID:1273-1612893600-1612899000@ieee.org.il SUMMARY:Human-Centric Computing-Prof. Jan M. Rabaey\, UC Berkeley\, USA DESCRIPTION:The world as we know it is going through some major upheavals: climate change\, pandemics and technology-induced societal changes are upsetting our world-picture with no real end in sight. Hence\, an extremely relevant question is how ‘we humans’ are going to cope with this rapid evolution. One plausible answer is for us to use those same technologies to evolve ourselves\, and to equip us with the necessary tools to interact with\, survive\, and prosper in spite of (or in light of) these changes.\nVarious wearable devices have been or are being developed to do just that. However\, their potential to create a whole new set of human experiences is still largely unexplored. To be effective\, functionality cannot be centralized and needs to be distributed to capture the right information at the right place. This requires a human intranet\, a platform that allows multiple distributed input/output and information processing functions to coalesce and form a single application. In this presentation\, we focus on the computational aspects of such an intranet\, tasks that are complicated by the extreme energy and form-factor limitations imposed on the wearable (or implanted) devices. An important aspect is that the human intranet should not only be able to learn from experience\, but capable of dealing with changes in both the environment and in itself. Moreover\, it should be able to do so on a continuous base. Computational models\, architectures and circuits that enable such capabilities at ultra-low energy and small form factor are hence needed. A glimpse of what may be possible will be presented.\nJan Rabaey is a Professor in the Graduate School in the EECS Department at the University of California at Berkeley\, where he held of the Donald O. Pederson Distinguished Professorship for over 30 years before retiring. Before joining the faculty at UC Berkeley\, he was a research manager at IMEC from 1985 until 1987.

For programmers\, sequential consistency (i.e.\, standard interleaving-based semantics) is considered as the most intuitive model. However\, it is too costly to implement. Designing a satisfactory substitute is highly challenging as it requires to carefully balance the conflicting desires of programmers\, compilers\, and hardware. In this talk I will introduce this challenge and the key ideas behind the prototype example of the C/C++ concurrency model from 2011. Then\, I will demonstrate the drawback of the C/C++ approach\, notoriously known as the “out-of-thin-air” problem. I will conclude by describing the “promising semantics” solution\, and remaining challenges.\nWe study basic demand-aware problems in offchain network design: Efficiently mapping users to an offchain topology of a known structure as well as constructing a topology of a bounded number of channels that can serve well typical payments. Likewise\, we suggest an approach for jointly serving multiple payments by finding an equivalent set of payments that has the same impact on user balance but can be served efficiently in a given topology.\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Ori Lahav\,\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/283121 URL:https://ieee.org.il/event/ce-club-seminar-designing-a-programming-language-shared-memory-concurrency-semantics/ LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/283121 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Jerusalem:20210224T160100 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Jerusalem:20210224T180000 DTSTAMP:20260406T135407 CREATED:20220525T132649Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220610T083411Z UID:1283-1614182460-1614189600@ieee.org.il SUMMARY:Review of RAS activities and schedule of future activities DESCRIPTION:Due to the COVID-19 situation\, it was discussed ways of actively continuing the activities.\nAgenda:\n1.

Wide adaptation is indeed a prerequisite to assure continuous operation in spite of the widely fluctuating energy/power source (e.g.\, energy harvester)\, and to grant swift response upon the occurrence of events of interest (e.g.\, on-chip data analytics)\, while maintaining extremely low consumption in the common case. These requirements have led to the strong demand of SoCs having an extremely wide performance-power scalability and adaptation\, so that they can relentlessly operate without interruption in spite of the highly-uncertain power availability.\nIn this talk\, new directions to drastically extend the performance-power scalability of digital\, analog and power management circuits and architectures are presented. Silicon demonstrations of better-than-voltage-scaling adaptation to the workload are illustrated for both the data path (i.e.\, microarchitecture) and the clock path in the digital sub-system. New directions to achieve full-system coordinated power-performance scaling are also discussed. Silicon demonstrations and trends in the state of the art of battery-light\, battery-less and battery-indifferent SoCs are illustrated to quantify the benefits offered by wide power-performance adaptation\, identifying opportunities and challenges for the decade ahead. Finally\, an always-on mm-scale integrated system that operates uninterruptedly when solely powered by moonlight is demonstrated\, paving the way to a new generation of always-on systems with little to no battery.\nMassimo Alioto is a Professor at the ECE Department of the National University of Singapore\, where he leads the Green IC group\, and is the Director of the Integrated Circuits and Embedded Systems area and the FD-FAbrICS research center on intelligent&connected systems.

Yet\, imaging at the single molecule sensitivity remains difficult in the NIR-II biological window (~1000–1350 nm) due to lack of suitable emitters. In addition\, the use of long wavelength does not represent an asset when nanoscale imaging is desired. It would however be highly advantageous for in vivo studies because of low light extinction by biological constituents at these wavelengths.\nInterestingly\, single wall carbon nanotubes display bright and stable photoluminescence in the near-infrared\, the domain of wavelength bearing many promises in bioimaging but also in quantum optics for instance. Applying concepts developed in super-resolution imaging to engineer and study basic carbon nanotube photophysics or to design novel nanoprobes thus represents an appealing opportunity. In his quest I will present our efforts to marry carbon nanotube luminescence and super-resolution imaging\, for understanding basic excitonic processes in carbon nanotubes\, advancing the field of bioimaging or creating optical molecular switches based on carbon nanotube nano-hydrids.\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/283058 URL:https://ieee.org.il/event/tau-seminar-developments-and-application-of-luminescent-carbon-nanotube-for-super-resolution-imaging-in-the-nir/ LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/283058 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Jerusalem:20210316T090000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Jerusalem:20210317T170000 DTSTAMP:20260406T135407 CREATED:20220525T132702Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220610T083411Z UID:1301-1615885200-1616000400@ieee.org.il SUMMARY:הכנס הבינלאומי ה- 11 להנדסת מערכות DESCRIPTION:דבר יושב ראש הכנס\nבשנה האחרונה אנו עדים לתמורות גדולות במציאות חיינו שמשבשות מערכות קיימות ומשפיעות על הפיתוח של מערכות חדשות. הפרעות כדוגמת הקורונה והעולם הדיגיטלי משנות את הדרך בה נהגנו לחשוב. בכנס הבינלאומי להנדסת מערכות ננסה להבין לעומק את ההשפעות של הפרעות כאלו ואחרות על השינויים הנדרשים מאיתנו\, מהנדסי המערכות\, כדי להוביל את המענה לאתגרי ההווה והמחר.\n"הנדסת מערכות בעידן של שיבושים ותמורות" היא כותרתו של הכנס הבינלאומי ה- 11 להנדסת מערכות שיתקיים בתאריכים 16-17 במרץ 2021. כנס זה הינו דו שנתי המאורגן ע"י INCOSE_IL האיגוד הישראלי להנדסת מערכות\, הסניף הישראלי של INCOSE (האיגוד העולמי להנדסת מערכות).\nהכנס הדו שנתי הפך עם השנים לאירוע המרכזי של הנדסת מערכות בישראל והוא לא רק מהווה מוקד משיכה למאות מהנדסי מערכות\, אלא גם זוכה להכרה ולהערכה ע"י הקהילות הבינלאומיות\, כגון INCOSE ו- IEEE אשר נציגים בכירים מהם ישתתפו בכנס.\nהכנס יהיה כנס מקוון שיתנהל מעל פלטפורמה דיגיטאלית לניהול כנסים. מתכונת זאת מאפשרת למשתתפים מחו"ל להצטרף אלינו ביתר קלות ולהעשיר אותנו בידע. יעשה מאמץ לאפשר להם ליהנות מהידע שלנו ע"י מתן הרצאות ככל שניתן באנגלית. הכנס יארך יומיים בהם יהיה שילוב של הרצאות מליאה וכן 3 מסלולים מקבילים של הרצאות וסדנאות בהן יוצגו פרויקטים נבחרים בתעשייה\, באקדמיה ובמגזר הציבורי. התוכנית תכלול הרצאות וסדנאות נבחרות מתוך ההצעות לקול קורא\, על ידי מרצים מהארץ ומחו"ל.\nאנא ראו בהזמנה זו פניה אישית\, לכל אחת ואחד מכם\, לבוא ולהשתתף בכנס מעניין זה.\nפרופ' יורם רייך\,אוניברסיטת תל אביב\,\nיו"ר הכנס\nCo-sponsored by: Israeli Association for Systems Engineering – INCOSE_IL – האיגוד הישראלי להנדסת מערכות\nAgenda:\nתכנית היום הראשון – 16 במרץ 2021: https://incoseil.org/incose_il2021/program16\nתכנית היום השני – 17 במרץ 2021: https://incoseil.org/incose_il2021/program17\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/264065 URL:https://ieee.org.il/event/%d7%94%d7%9b%d7%a0%d7%a1-%d7%94%d7%91%d7%99%d7%a0%d7%9c%d7%90%d7%95%d7%9e%d7%99-%d7%94-11-%d7%9c%d7%94%d7%a0%d7%93%d7%a1%d7%aa-%d7%9e%d7%a2%d7%a8%d7%9b%d7%95%d7%aa/ LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/264065 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=EET:20210320T190000 DTEND;TZID=EET:20210320T200000 DTSTAMP:20260406T135407 CREATED:20220525T132702Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220610T083411Z UID:1303-1616266800-1616270400@ieee.org.il SUMMARY:Ask A Graduate-2nd session- DESCRIPTION:Ask a graduate is a series of 3 online sessions\, the series consists of interviewing graduates who talk to students about their graduation projects and what are the difficulties they faced\, whether by choosing the idea or at the beginning of the work\, and what programs and tools they used\, to guide and advise them based on their experience.\nThe second session was hosted by the computer society.
