Discrete Event Systems Specification
2021-07-14 16:00 - 18:00 (Asia/Jerusalem)
Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) refers to the trend to use models systematically throughout the design process. MBSE has been struggling to find a way to connect the blueprint models that describe the initial architecture with ways to check and evaluate these plans.
Simulation has become the preferred means to support this goal. Discrete Event Systems Specification (DEVS) is a model-based way to perform simulation and connect the stages of MBSE. DEVS enables you to represent real systems (existing or hypothetical) so they can be digitally represented and simulated.
It is a part of a framework and theory of modeling and simulation and is unique as a way of constructing a simulation model that is based on a mathematical theory of systems. In this talk, we answer some questions such as: How/when was DEVS born?
How does it compare to other abstractions? Where does it make the most sense to use? Where will it lead? What are the potential benefits of DEVS? What is made possible as a direct result of using DEVS?
After a short review and some example case studies, we present our vision for fully integrated modeling and simulation support of the MBSE life cycle based on DEVS. We close by considering the current state-of-the-art tools available and under development towards this vision.

An Organic-Photoconductive-Film CMOS Image Sensor’s Advanced Technologies - Ms. Kazuko Nishimura, Panasonic Corporation, Japan
2021-07-27 11:30 - 13:00 (Asia/Jerusalem) | Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/285155
We have developed a CMOS image sensor with an organic photoconductive film (OPF) laminated on pixel circuits, different from those of a conventional silicon image sensors, in which the organic thin film for photoelectric conversion and the charge storage part for signal charge accumulation are completely independent. In this presentation, we focus on the advantageous features of the OPF image sensor; technology that realizes over 120 dB simultaneous-capture wide dynamic range; global shutter technology achieving high saturation signals per unit square that is 10 dB higher than that of silicon image sensors with the global shutter function, without sacrificing pixel area; RGB-NIR sensor technology capable of controlling NIR sensitivity by simply controlling the voltage applied to the OPF. Moreover, we introduce about 8K4K high resolution sensor technologies with 60fps high frame rate, 450ke- high saturation signals, and the global shutter function at the same time. We believe these features of the OPF image sensor will contribute to leaps in the imaging and sensing fields.
Kazuko Nishimura received the B.E. degree in mechanical engineering from Osaka University, and joined Panasonic Corporation where she engaged in high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) in 1995. She developed optical communication systems for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), RF tuners and CMOS image sensors. Currently, she is a manager in Technology Division (R&D Division), Panasonic Corporation and pursues research on the organic photoconductive film (OPF) CMOS image sensors and sensor applications. She serves A-SSCC data converter subcommittee chair and ISSCC Imagers, Medical, MEMS and Displays subcommittee, IEEE SSCS distinguished Lecturer, and the SSCS Adcom. She is a senior member of IEEE.

Embedded Systems Design in the Era of AI - Prof. Michael Huebner, Brandenburg University of Technology (BTU), Cottbus, Germany
2021-08-02 10:00 - 11:30 (Asia/Jerusalem) | Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/297822
The increasing demands of complexity, flexibility and self-organization of networked embedded systems require new solutions for the local processor architectures and firmware. This includes the ability to adapt to the requirements of an algorithm e.g. in relation to a sensor value measured by an Cyberphysical System. Artificial intelligence becomes ubiquitous and therefore enters also the domain of embedded systems and enables enormous opportunities in edge computing. This will introduce new degrees of freedom in embedded and Cyberpyhsical systems and is very promising to support the aforementioned demands tremendously. In this talk, possible solutions for next generation embedded systems with AI components will be introduced.
Michael Huebner is a Full Professor and leads the Chair for Computer Engineering at the Brandenburg University of Technology (BTU) in Cottbus, Germany, since 2018.
He is also Vice-President for research and transfer at BTU since December 2020.

Power efficiency in the next generation of 5G-6G analog front-ends - Prof. Antonio Liscidini, University of Toronto, Canada
2021-10-06 16:30 - 18:00 (Asia/Jerusalem) | Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/297823
Nowadays, both digital and analog electronics are reaching fundamental limits that will require revolutionary approaches to satisfy the power/bandwidth requirements of the next generation of data-driven applications.
After a brief overview of the modern wireless transceiver architecture, some key elements that will characterize 5G and 6G networks will be discussed. The talk will continue by analyzing the power efficiency of the analog signal processing by highlighting the presence of a thermodynamic upper-bound which relates dynamic range, bandwidth and power dissipation. Alternative strategies to circumvent this limit will be discusses such as adaptivity, passive time-variant signal processing and quantized analog signal processing. In particular, the latter represents a novel approach where the analog and digital domain are fused together in a more fluid scenario compared to traditional mixed-signal circuits. This operation leads to superior power efficiency and flexibility.
The effectiveness of the proposed solutions will be demonstrated through simulations and measurement results on different prototypes.
Antonio Liscidini received the Laurea (summa cum laude) and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy, in 2002 and 2006, respectively.
He was a summer Intern with National Semiconductors, Santa Clara, CA, USA, in 2003, studying poly phase filters and CMOS low-noise amplifiers. From 2008 to 2012, he was an Assistant Professor with the University of Pavia and a consultant with Marvell Semiconductors, Pavia, in the area of integrated circuit. In 2012, he moved to the Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada, where he is currently an Associate professor. In 2019 he has become consultant for Huawei Technology Group in the area of RFIC for optical communication. His research interests are focused on analog mixed signal interfaces with particular emphasis on the implementations of transceivers and frequency synthesizers for wireless and wireline communication.
Dr. Liscidini was a recipient of the Best Student Paper Award at the IEEE 2005 Symposium on VLSI Circuits and co-recipient of the Best Invited Paper Award at the 2011 IEEE CICC and the Best Student Paper Award at the 2018 IEEE ESSCIRC.

Nowadays, both digital and analog electronics are reaching fundamental limits that will require revolutionary approaches to satisfy the power/bandwidth requirements of the next generation of data-driven applications.
After a brief overview of the modern wireless transceiver architecture, some key elements that will characterize 5G and 6G networks will be discussed. The talk will continue by analyzing the power efficiency of the analog signal processing by highlighting the presence of a thermodynamic upper-bound which relates dynamic range, bandwidth and power dissipation. Alternative strategies to circumvent this limit will be discusses such as adaptivity, passive time-variant signal processing and quantized analog signal processing. In particular, the latter represents a novel approach where the analog and digital domain are fused together in a more fluid scenario compared to traditional mixed-signal circuits. This operation leads to superior power efficiency and flexibility.
The effectiveness of the proposed solutions will be demonstrated through simulations and measurement results on different prototypes.
