Abstract:
Scaling of Si-CMOS based logic processor circuits is hitting limits on application-level performance (throughput and latency), dynamic and leakage power, and even cost characteristics. For that reason, several researchers have started to study alternatives based on so-called beyond CMOS devices. Many emerging devices have been studied in the last decade, especially in academia.

Abstract:
The architectures in today’s vehicles are usually still based on decentralized or domain-centric architecture concepts that place a strong focus on individual control units. New applications and services, which may only be used or required temporarily, are very difficult to implement with these vehicle architectures.

Abstract:
Intuitive, Interoperable, Intelligent – The future of automation engineering will embrace these basic characteristics to continuously reduce the effort and expertise required by engineers to implement industrial automation solutions while increasing the flexibility and the capabilities of engineering tools. This talk will give an overview of several research activities in the area of industrial automation engineering, showing how they aim to realize these three basic characteristics, and provides a vision for automation engineering in the near future.

Abstract:
Perception is a critical computational task in autonomous vehicles. Autonomous vehicles place stringent and somewhat conflicting demands on perception systems: high accuracy, low latency, and performance on limited computational resources. The conflict between these requirements is particularly acute in the case of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) but is also true of ground vehicles.

Abstract:
Complex systems engineering and associated challenges become increasingly important for the well-being and safety of our society of humans. Motivated by this formidable push towards ever more complex systems of all sizes, spectacular failures, and decades of questioning in a variety of contexts and endeavors, this talk presents a theory of complex systems engineering that is, as a scientific theory in which an engineered system can be seen as a validated scientific hypothesis arising from a convergent mix of mathematical and validated experimental constructs.

Abstract:
In this talk, we introduce our Self-Aware Polymorphic Architecture (SAPA) design approach to support emerging context-aware applications and mitigate the programming challenges caused by the ever-increasing complexity and heterogeneity of high-performance computing systems. Through the SAPA design, we examine the salient software-hardware features of adaptive computing systems that allow for (1) the dynamic allocation of computing resources depending on program needs (e.g., the amount of parallelism in the program) and (2) automatic approximation to meet program and system goals (e.g., execution time budget, power constraints, security, and computation resiliency) without the programming complexity of current multicore and manycore systems.

Abstract:
Reconfigurable Computing uses FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays) as an alternative to microprocessors to enable high-performance and low-energy customized computing. It is becoming a mainstream technology as evident by Intel’s $16.7B acquisition of Altera in 2015 and AMD’s $49B acquisition of Xilinx in 2022.

Abstract:
Printed electronics is an emerging and fast-growing field which can be used in many demanding and emerging application domains such as wearables, smart sensors, and Internet of Things (IoT). Unlike traditional computing and electronics domain which is mostly driven by performance characteristics, printed and flexible electronics based on additive manufacturing processes are mainly associated with low fabrication costs and low energy.
