Seminars at CECS

Speaker: Kanad Basu Date and Time: Tuesday, June 7, 2:00 pm Location: Zoom https://uci.zoom.us/j/97807443602 Abstract: Anti-virus software (AVS) tools are used to detect Malware in a system. However, software-based AVS are vulnerable to attacks. A malicious entity can exploit these vulnerabilities to subvert the AVS. Recently, hardware components such as Hardware Performance Counters (HPC) have been used for Malware detection, in the form […]

Speaker: Charalambos Konstantinou Date and Time: Friday, July 15, 10:00 am Location: EH 2430 Abstract: Rapid advancements in power electronics along with the increasing penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) are transforming the electric power grids. Furthermore, increasing types and number of loads and electric transportation are stressing the network. Overall, the power system is facing […]

Speaker: Prabhat Mishra Date and Time: Tuesday, August 2, 2:00 pm Location: DBH 4011 OR Zoom Link Abstract: System-on-Chip (SoC) is the brain behind computing and communication in a wide variety of embedded systems. Reusable hardware Intellectual Property (IP) based SoC design has emerged as a pervasive design practice in the industry to dramatically reduce SoC […]

Speaker: Miquel Moreto Date and Time: Wednesday, August 10, 11:00 am Location: DBH 3011 OR Zoom Link Abstract: Designing RISC-V-based Accelerators for next-generation Computers (DRAC) is a 3-year project (2019-2022) funded by the ERDF Operational Program of Catalonia 2014-2020. DRAC will design, verify, implement and fabricate a high-performance general purpose processor that will incorporate different accelerators […]

Speaker: Mehdi Tahoori Date and Time: Thursday, September 29, 11:00 am Location: EH 2430 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 […]

Speaker: Prof. Deming Chen, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) Date and Time: Thursday, November 3rd, 3:00 pm Location: EH 2430 or Zoom Link 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 […]

Speaker: Prof. Michel Kinsy, Arizona State University (ASU) Date and Time: Thursday, January 19th, 11:00am Location: EH 2430 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, […]

Speaker: Prof. Eric Feron, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) Date and Time: Thursday, January 26th, 2:00pm Location: EH 2430 Abstract: Complex systems engineering and associated challenges become increasingly important for […]

Speaker: Prof. Marilyn Wolf Date and Time: Monday, March 6th, 2:00pm Location: EH 2430 Abstract:   Perception is a critical computational task in autonomous vehicles.  Autonomous vehicles place stringent and somewhat conflicting demands […]

Speaker: Dr. Gustavo Quiros Date and Time: Wednesday, April 26th, 3:00pm Location: EH 2430 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. […]

Speaker: Prof. Dr. Achim Rettberg Date and Time: Friday, July 14th, 10:00am Location: EH 2430 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 […]
