SUMMARY:Agentic AI and the Future of Enterprise Operations
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nEnterprise IT operations are moving from tool-centric automation to outcome-driven agentic operations. This talk introduces a unified Agentic AI operating platform where specialized AI agents collaborate across DevOps\, platform engineering\, development\, security\, database\, API management\, network\, ECCB/CAB governance\, deployment automation\, multi-cloud\, Kubernetes\, monitoring\, and data platform operations. The target model is not uncontrolled automation: it is governed autonomy\, where agents plan\, validate\, summarize\, orchestrate\, and recommend actions while human accountability\, approval gates\, audit controls\, and rollback readiness remain mandatory for high-risk changes.\nSpeaker(s): \, Justin Rajakumar Maria Thason\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/569151

SUMMARY:Luncheon - September 8\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Life Member Affinity Group (LMAG) of the Cincinnati Section is hosting daytime activities (mainly social but some technical) throughout Greater Cincinnati. These events are open to all members. If you check out the (https://ieeecincinnati.org/affinity-groups/life-members/) you will see that we have indeed spread these events around.\nThe Second Tuesday Luncheon is being held at the Tealside Diner in Batavia\, just a little east of Eastgate Mall. I have it on good authority that the food is delicious. It's in a Marathon gas station between the food mart and a barbershop. It's going to be great.\nThere's plenty of parking.\nSee you there\,\nBrian\nTealside Diner\, 1096 Old State Rte 74\, Batavia\, Ohio\, United States\, 45103

SUMMARY:Memphis Section PES Tech Talk: Distributed Energy Integration and Associated Power Quality Issues & Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Distributed energy integration to the grid creates power quality challenges like harmonic distortion\, voltage fluctuations\, frequency instability\, reactive power imbalance\, protective relay coordination issue\, etc. These issues mainly stem from weather-dependent generation and power electronic converters. For example\, due to random variations in wind speed\, output power\, frequency\, and terminal voltage of wind generator fluctuate. As a result\, power quality of the wind generator deteriorates. However\, consumers expect constant voltage and frequency at their ends. Thus\, frequency\, grid voltage and distribution line power should be maintained constant. Key solutions include advanced smart inverters\, energy storage systems\, flexible AC transmission equipment\, etc. This talk will discuss various means of control such as energy storage devices to maintain power quality of distribution grids.\nSpeaker(s): \, Mohd Hasan Ali\nRoom: King Room\, Bldg: University of Memphis Research Park\, 460 S Highland St\, Memphis\, Tennessee\, United States\, 38152\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/574013

SUMMARY:Repurposing common blood pressure drugs to treat Alzheimer’s disease
DESCRIPTION:Alzheimer's disease affects more than 6 million Americans\, and aging remains its greatest risk factor. While current treatments can slow progression\, none stop the disease. Intriguingly\, large studies of patient records suggest that people who take a common class of blood pressure medication — calcium channel blockers — develop less Alzheimer's pathology and maintain better cognitive function than those who don't. But how?\nIn this talk\, Dr. Sarah Hopp will explain how her lab at UT Health San Antonio is working to answer that question. Using a combination of patient data\, genetically engineered mouse models of Alzheimer's disease\, and genetic tools that can switch off specific calcium channels in specific cell types\, her team is uncovering how these widely prescribed drugs may protect the brain. Dr. Hopp will discuss what this means for the future of Alzheimer's prevention and the growing interest in repurposing existing medications for neurodegenerative disease\nRegistration details:\nSeating goes to those who register via this vtools event in the order received; plan ahead to REGISTER.\nRegistration Fees:\nAt the door\, there is a $20.00 fee for Members\, $30.00 for Guests and $5.00 for Students. We accept Cash or Check\, no credit cards. Exact amounts preferable. Remainder of the tab will be picked up by the EMB.\nSpeaker(s): Sarah\,\nAgenda:\n11:00 – Arrival\n11:30 – Lunch and presentation\n12:30 – Q and A\n13:00 – Adjourn\nRoom: Mission Room\, Alamo Cafe (Hwy 281)\, 14250 San Pedro Ave\,\, San Antonio\, Texas\, United States\, 78232

SUMMARY:{AI Talks with Tea&Coffee #50} : Networks to Power the AI Revolution – The Way Forward
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe next breakthrough in artificial intelligence will be driven not only by advances in models and accelerators\, but by innovations in communication networks. As AI systems scale from thousands to millions of distributed accelerators\, communication is rapidly replacing computation as the primary bottleneck.\nAI systems massive data movement demand networking architectures that provide unprecedented levels of bandwidth\, ultra-low latency\, resilience\, security\, and energy efficiency. The network is becoming an integral part of the AI system. Today's communication infrastructures face serious challenges in scalability\, reliability\, security\, energy consumption\, operational complexity\, maintenance and management as we continue to use retrofitted techniques and protocols designed for communications and technologies that existed several decades ago. These limitations threaten to constrain the future of large-scale AI training\, distributed AI inference\, and emerging autonomous AI ecosystems. Addressing these challenges requires rethinking networking from first principles and developing architectures and techniques suited to AI-native traffic models and workloads with a capability to evolve with trends and demands.\nThis presentation explores the evolving AI ecosystem and the multidisciplinary research challenges spanning compute\, memory\, storage\, networking\, scheduling\, resilience\, software\, cybersecurity\, and sustainable infrastructure. Emphasis is placed on networking as a foundational enabler of future AI systems and on the emerging research challenges in AI-native network architectures\, scalable routing and multipath forwarding\, high-performance transport protocols\, network telemetry and AI-driven control\, scheduler-network co-design\, resilient communication and trustworthy AI networks.\nRecognizing this critical need\, the IEEE Rochester Joint AESS/Communications Society Chapter has established a Special Interest Group (SIG) on Networking for AI Infrastructure to bring together researchers\, industry leaders\, and standards organizations to advance the next generation of AI communication systems. The SIG aims to foster collaboration\, accelerate innovation\, and participate in standards to shape the future of communication infrastructures not limited to the next generation of AI.\nSpeaker(s): Prof. Dr. Nirmala Shenoy\,\nAgenda:\nPizza\nIntroduction of the Speaker\nTalk\nQ&A\nRoom: Grand/Large Conference Room\, Bldg: Nashua Public Library\, 2 Court Street\, NASHUA\, New Hampshire\, United States\, 03060\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/571705

SUMMARY:The Hourglass of Industrial Data: from Real-Time Signal Processing to AI
DESCRIPTION:Modern industrial systems increasingly need to bridge two worlds with fundamentally different constraints: deterministic\, real-time control at the shop floor and data-intensive\, AI-driven analytics in the cloud. This talk argues that real-time performance is not a property that scales uniformly through the system; it exists only in a narrow "waist" between two much larger\, inherently non-real-time layers. At the bottom\, sensors\, PLCs\, and SCADA systems are constrained by energy budgets\, making continuous\, deterministic transmission impractical\, especially in IoT and IIoT deployments. At the top\, big data\, AI/ML pipelines\, digital twins\, and LLM-based agents operate on volumes of data that preclude hard real-time guarantees. Only in between – where standards such as OPC UA FX and the emerging IEC/IEEE 60802 Time-Sensitive Networking profile now converge to provide a common data model over deterministic Ethernet – can true real-time behavior be achieved. Drawing on the presenter's work in industrial communication and Service-Oriented Architecture\, as well as recent work on vision-based diagnostic systems (including the MEDUSA project for ultrasound-based synovitis detection)\, the talk traces how data flows from the physical layer\, through this real-time core\, up to signal and image processing\, edge AI\, and cloud-based analytics. The talk situates this "hourglass" architecture within current standardization efforts (ISA-95:2025\, RAMI 4.0/Asset Administration Shell\, ISO 23247\, OPC UA FX/TSN) and discusses the practical implications for designing systems that combine deterministic control with modern AI-based decision support.\nCo-sponsored by: Poznan University of Technology\nSpeaker(s): Professor Marcin Andrzej Fojcik\,\nRoom: room 201\, Bldg: CENTER FOR MECHATRONICS\, BIOMECHANICS\, AND NANOENGINEERING\, POZNAŃ UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY\, ul.

SUMMARY:Curious Minds: Project Sapphire - The Untold Story: Preventing Brain Drain & Securing Nuclear Materials (9/16/26)
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n60 Minutes recently told the story of Project Sapphire\, a covert mission in 1994 to transport 600 Kg of Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) from Kazakhstan to prevent nuclear proliferation to countries such as Iran and North Korea following the end of the Soviet Union. This effort was part of an even bigger effort to prevent brain drain of key scientists and secure nuclear materials in the newly independent states from terrorism. I will describe a visit to Russia in 1990 that led to the Global Initiative for Proliferation Protection (GIPP) and a program called the US Industry Coalition (USIC)\, which put weapons scientists in Russia and the Newly Independent States of the Soviet Union to work on peaceful programs and secure nuclear materials. This ongoing effort by the National Nuclear Security Agency (NNSA) to secure HEU continues today at the center of the current Middle East conflict. \nDate: Wednesday\, September 16\, 11 AM EST\nModerator: Maxine Cohen\nGuest Presenter: David Bondurant \nPresenter\nDavid Bondurant is an IEEE Life Senior Member who has been involved with the computer and semiconductor industry for 55 years. He was a computer architect at Control Data\, Sperry-Univac\, and Honeywell. He was involved with the government-sponsored advanced semiconductor program called VHSIC (Very High Speed Integrated Circuits) at Univac & Honeywell\, where he developed microprocessor and ASIC semiconductor products in bipolar CML\, CMOS\, and radiation-hard CMOS. He was involved with emerging non-volatile RAM marketing at industry-leading companies\, Ramtron (FRAM)\, Enhanced Memory Systems (EDRAM\, ESDRAM\, ESRAM)\, Simtek (non-volatile SRAM)\, and Freescale Semiconductor/Everspin Technologies (MRAM). \nRegister\nRegister for the webinar

SUMMARY:Curious Minds Webinar I - Life Members
DESCRIPTION:For our first Creative Minds Webinar\, we discuss Highly Enriched Uranium which is central to today's conflict in Iran. The Reagan – Gorbachev meeting in Reykjavík in 1986 set the stage for the fall of the Soviet Union and a disarmament program between the USA and Russia. One of the goals of this effort was to prevent Proliferation to countries like Iran. David Bondurant describes meetings in Russia in November 1990 that were part of this story.\nProject Sapphire – The Untold Store\nPreventing Brain Drain & Securing Nuclear Materials\nDavid Bondurant\, Life Senior Member\n60 Minutes recently told the story of Project Sapphire\, a covert mission in 1994 to transport 600 Kg of Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) from Kazakhstan to prevent nuclear proliferation to countries such as Iran and North Korea following the end of the Soviet Union.

SUMMARY:Spectrophotometric measurements of color test targets for high quality digital imaging of cultural heritage
DESCRIPTION:A digital master is considered acceptable only when it accurately reflects the characteristics of the original item and complies with established guidelines and standards. Digitization workflow is analyzed with particular emphasis on target measurements. Color calibration targets play an essential role in high-quality digital photography of cultural heritage objects. These targets contain color patches defined and measured in the CIELAB color space and are indispensable for precise camera color calibration as well as automated quality control of digitization output. The National Digital Archives use various types and sizes of color calibration targets. Measurement parameters that influence the final result are presented and discussed\, including: geometry\, specular reflection\, gloss\, UV light component\, CIE observer settings\, illuminants\, and other relevant factors.\nCo-sponsored by: Poznan University of Technology\nSpeaker(s): Prof. Marcin Dabrowski\, Mateusz Bolesta\nRoom: room 201\, Bldg: CENTER FOR MECHATRONICS\, BIOMECHANICS\, AND NANOENGINEERING\, POZNAŃ UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY\, ul.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nHow Identity\, Enterprise Context\, Observability\, and Bounded Authority Shape Live Risk Decisions\nAn aircraft may begin its journey with a verified pilot\, an approved flight plan\, and permission to take off. But that approval does not guarantee that the original route will remain safe for the entire flight. Weather\, traffic\, fuel\, airport availability\, and other conditions can change. Air traffic control uses live signals to decide whether the aircraft should continue\, slow down\, hold\, change its route\, divert\, or land.\nAI agents face a similar challenge. An agent may authenticate\, receive permissions\, access approved tools\, and begin a task correctly. But as it works\, its behavior\, enterprise context\, risk\, cost\, data sensitivity\, and operating conditions can change. A permission that was appropriate at the start of the session may not be enough to safely approve every action that follows.\nThis talk explains how organizations can build a runtime posture for AI agents. Runtime posture brings together signals such as agent identity\, the user it represents\, session state\, business purpose\, enterprise context\, tool usage\, data sensitivity\, behavior\, approvals\, risk\, and cost.\nObservability provides live information about what the agent is doing. Enterprise context explains the business meaning\, relationships\, ownership\, dependencies\, policies\, and current conditions around an action. Bounded authority defines the limits within which the agent may operate\, including its allowed tools\, data\, purpose\, time\, risk\, and cost.\nUsing a practical enterprise scenario and the air traffic control analogy\, the session will show how these signals can be evaluated at important decision points. Based on the agent’s current posture\, the governing system can allow an action\, apply additional limits\, request human approval\, redirect the agent to a safer option\, or block the action.\nThe key message is simple: initial authorization starts the journey\, but runtime posture determines whether the next action is still safe.\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/571392
