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.

SUMMARY:AI Metrology for Scientific Discovery: Measuring Systems from Bounded Search to Paradigmatic Reframing
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Ram D. Sriram\, Senior Science Advisor\, Information Technology Laboratory (ITL)\, National Institute of Standards and Technology\nGenerative AI is transforming the landscape of scientific discovery across three distinct operational pathways: combinatorial space search\, data-driven hypothesis generation\, and paradigmatic reframing. However\, each pathway introduces unique evaluation challenges that require a formal discipline of AI metrology—a systematic framework for quantifying system reliability\, operational scale\, and human oversight requirements.\nThis talk presents a structured metrological roadmap mapping established cognitive theories (such as the Cattell-Horn-Carroll hierarchy) and stages of AI capability—Artificial Limited Intelligence (ALI)\, Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)\, and Artificial Superintelligence (ASI)—to these three modes of discovery:\n– ALI & Combinatorial Search: Focuses on optimizing search bounds\, parameter scaling\, and uncertainty quantification\, with humans acting as ground-truth oracles to measure correction rates and time-to-override.\n– AGI & Hypothesis Generation: Addresses explore-exploit cycles via dual-layer neuro-symbolic governance\, formal ontology mapping\, and the Garland Test (evaluating perceived problem awareness)\, while humans serve as symbolic arbiters to calibrate appropriate reliance.\n– ASI & Paradigmatic Reframing: Reconceptualizes fundamental laws through asynchronous multi-agent scaffolding ("A-Teams")\, placing humans in an on-the-loop auditing role measured by spot-audit coverage and escalation latency.\nFinally\, the talk outlines actionable tracks for institutions to standardize evaluation protocols across this spectrum\, emphasizing that AI metrology must evolve qualitatively—transitioning from output verification to trust calibration and system-level auditing—to ensure scientific claims remain trustworthy and reproducible.\nREGISTER: https://fau-edu.zoom.us/meeting/register/kj39AvFAQViGa39JrgefUQ\nCo-sponsored by: Dept of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science\, Florida Atlantic University\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/577624

SUMMARY:From Signals to Decisions: Building Runtime Posture for AI Agents
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

SUMMARY:Leveraging Lab Testing to Validate Grid Edge Use Cases
DESCRIPTION:Join Rob Wolf\, PE PMP\, Manager on how grids can utilize a real-time digital simulation (RTDS) lab to create a digital twin and test manufacturer claims and ensure equipment is correctly configured prior to deployment.\nGrid Intelligence is transforming the way modern power systems operate by combining real-time data\, advanced analytics\, and AI-driven insights to create smarter\, more resilient\, and more efficient electrical grids. By enabling utilities to better monitor\, predict\, and optimize grid performance\, Grid Intelligence supports faster decision-making\, improved reliability\, and the seamless integration of advanced technologies\, such as DER’s\, wildfire mitigation or virtual protection systems.\nHowever\, as more intelligence is moving to the Grid Edge and compliance obligations continue to increase\, how can Utilities adapt and validate that a particular solution will address the desired use cases? How can Utilities learn from mistakes of the past\, such as promises related to AMI 1.0 or early demand response programs? How can Utilities ensure that their capital funds are going to solve their most challenging issues?\nThis is where testing and validation comes in. Utilizing a real-time digital simulation (RTDS) lab to create a digital twin\, utilities can now test manufacturer claims and ensure equipment is correctly configured prior to deployment. We will show how utilities can:\n1) Validate analytics and Grid Edge applications\,\n2) Use real utility historical data to generate new grid insights\,\n3) Develop and validate new use cases\, and\n4) Ensure a utility’s Grid Edge journey generates real business value.\nThis Event is Co-sponsored by:\nThe Louisville Section of the IEEE\,\nPower & Energy Society Chapter (PE31) of the Louisville Section\,\nThe Life Member Affinity Group (LM31) of the Louisville Section\,\nComputer Society Chapter (CS16) of the Louisville Section\, and\nThe Young Professionals Affinity Group (Y31)\nSpeaker(s): Rob\,\nAgenda:\n11:30 am – Begin Sign-in\, Pay and Socialize\n12:00 pm Noon – Dinner\n12:30 pm – Presentation\n————————————\n$20 members and guests\n$10 life members and students\nBldg: University Club – Univ. of Louisville Campus\, 200 E Brandeis Ave\, Louisville\, Kentucky\, United States\, 40208

In this talk I will focus on Elsevier as prominent and highly complex example for the increasing corporate control and shaping of academic knowledge production.\nThe analysis will construct a strategic trajectory of Elsevier’s waves of digital transformations as evolutionary technography. The results will be discussed using the lens of techno-colonization\, an interpretative pattern to illustrate how publishers redesigned the scholarly communication ecosystem driven by an ideology of datafication and high performance institutions in a competitive environment. They not only took ownership and control over journals\, rankings\, and research infrastructures\, but extended these into tools and professional services for university administrations\, governments and industry.\nThe broad consensus that academic publishers’ techno-colonization is dangerous and inacceptable poses the riddle why the academic community so far has shown little resistance\, instead engaged in Faustian bargains\, collaboration and “voluntary servitude” (La Boétie).\nShort Bio of Stefan Klein:\nStefan Klein is Professor emeritus for Interorganizational Systems in the Department of Information Systems at the School of Business and Economics\, University of Münster\, Germany. Previously he held teaching or research positions at University College Dublin\, Ireland; University of Linz\, Austria; University of Koblenz-Landau\, Germany\, University St. Gallen\, Switzerland; Harvard University; the German Research Center for Computer Science; and University of Cologne\, Germany.\nStefan’s research looks at the societal and organizational impact of digital innovation and transformation. He has studied digital infrastructures across a range of domains\, including tourism\, healthcare\, publishing and research. He has an interest in new ways of working and collaborative modes of organizing.\nHis methodological orientation is in line with phronetic social science\, which also motivates critical studies in digital inversions: how innovators have turned into oligarchs\, disruptors into monopolistic incumbents\, how technology has morphed from a force of good into a force of evil\, and how meaningful communication has deteriorated into bullshitting.\nHe is a co-founder of NITIM.org the International Graduate Research School on Networks\, Information Technology and Innovation Management\, an ongoing collaborative experiment in international and interdisciplinary PhD coaching.\nShort Bio of Anna Bon:\nAnna Bon is researcher and lecturer in Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D) at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Maastricht University\, and senior project manager at VU Amsterdam’s International Office (CIS Centre for International Cooperation). She directs the interdisciplinary research\, education and community service program W4RA (Web alliance for Regreening in Africa). Her interdisciplinary research centers around how innovative context-aware technologies can be developed in a co-creative way to support local value chains and improve food security\, serving especially smallholder farmers and communities in Africa’s drylands. Her international projects include digital voice-service support for local cereal seeds value networks in West Africa (Mali); ICT4D Community Service Learning in rural Sarawak\, Malaysia; Sustainability and Ethics in Digital Development; AI for Sustainable Development\, and the Amsterdam Digital Divide. Anna Bon is the coordinator of EURIDICE\, an EU-funded project covering 15 countries\, that aims to establish interdisciplinary\, master-level education for Digital Society\, Social Innovation and Global Citizenship\, to build a new generation of professionals with skills and thought-leadership to navigate the rapidly changing Digital Society.\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/578221
