(15:00-15:40)
Enabling future wearables with energy efficient devices
講師Adrian M. Ionescu 先生
(教授,スイス連邦工科大学ローザンヌ校,スイス)
概要In this talk we will address the need of energy efficient technologies for improving by orders of magnitude the energy per computed, communicated and sensed bit of information, as required by wearable system embodiments and Internet-of-Things. We will particularly talk about implementing low power sensor arrays in technologies CMOS FinFET and the resulting advantages. We will particularly show a ionic sensing chip with integrated microfludic interface for sweat analysis and its multiple applications. Low power optical sensors based on Tunnel FETs, CNT-arrays gas sensors and resonant sensors with their figures of merit and their heterogeneous integration challenges in silicon-on-foil approaches, will be also discussed.

Towards the energy efficient, heterogeneous process technology, zero intrinsic variability devices and zero power era
講師Simon Deleonibus 先生
(博士,フランス原子力・代替エネルギー庁/電子情報技術研究所,フランス)
概要Linear scaling CMOS has encountered many hurdles which request new process modules, driven mainly by the maximization of energy efficiency. Fabrication at the sub 10nm node level will request Intrinsic Variability approaching to zero. Moreover, the rapid growth of mobile, multifunctional and autonomous systems is hardly demanding to reach Zero Power consumption. The solutions to integrate Thin Film based devices, architectures and systems in order to face these challenges will be addressed.
演題3
(16:20-17:00)
Enabling future wearables with energy efficient devices
講師Kaustav Banerjee 先生
(教授,カリフォルニア大学サンタバーバラ校,アメリカ)
概要The experimental demonstration of graphene in 2004, a truly one-atom thick layer of carbon atoms, has opened up a window to the two-dimensional (2D) world of materials. This has subsequently triggered a surge of research activities on various 2D crystals including single layers of hexagonal-boron nitride (h-BN), several dichalcogenides (such as MoS2 and WSe2), and complex oxides. Atomic scale thicknesses (few Å/layer) of 2D semiconducting crystals and their controllable precise band gaps as a function of number of layers also enable the scaling of electronic devices without inducing performance variations. Moreover, seamless planar synthesis and stacking of various 2D crystals can be exploited to build novel lateral and vertical heterostructures, respectively. This talk will highlight and discuss the prospects of such 2D crystals for designing ultra-low power, low-loss, and ultra-energy-efficient active and passive devices targeted for designing next-generation green electronics needed to support the emerging paradigm of Internet of Things. More specifically, this talk will examine the genesis of the power dissipation challenge in conventional MOSFETs, and provide an overview of the recently demonstrated 2D-channel tunnel-FET from my group that overcomes this challenge and is a fundamentally different transistor employing several innovations. This talk will also bring forward some applications uniquely enabled by 2D crystals, including sensors and flexible high-frequency electronics for improving quality of life, and discuss related challenges and opportunities.

演題Performance Monitoring Techniques in Computer Simulation
講師Grischa Jacobs 氏 (Technical University of Darmstadt)
概要Modern HPC systems provide diverse processor architectures, making efficient parallel computing a difficult task. Keeping the physical limitations with high clock speed rates and energy consumptions of processors in mind, the attractiveness of modern multicore processors becomes obvious. To leverage their benefits, hybrid parallelization strategies become necessary. As the variety of heterogeneous computing systems will increase in the future, this motivates investigations in performance monitoring, tuning and modelling. This "brainware" component is a key to maintain performance when the hardware is changing.

演題 ネットワーク型分子エレクトロニクスを目指して
概要 近年, 分子エレクトロニクスを目指して, 単一分子の電気特性計測が盛んに行われている.分子と金属の接合界面には,未知の物理や化学が多くあり, それらの理解を目的とした実験, 理論研究が行われてきた. また一方では, 単一分子を用いた電界効果トランジスタも実現している. しかし, 既存の半導体デバイスのサイズが10nmに迫ろうとしている中で, 半導体を分子に置き換えることの意味は, 未だはっきりとは提示されていないのが現状である. 分子の持つ大きな特徴の一つに, 化学反応や超分子形成を利用した自己組織化がある. 自己組織化に基づく回路網の形成は, 現代の微細加工技術の対極であり, 自然の中で生物が行ってきた方法であると言える. 本講演では, 分子エレクトロニクス研究の現状を概観したあと, 神経回路に学んだ分子ネットワークの第一歩として, 分子による非線形電気特性の発現と確率共鳴現象について紹介する. また, 分子ネットワークが論理システムとして機能するには, バイアスラインに相当するエネルギー供給が必要である. 自然の中で, 神経回路がどのようにしてエネルギーを得ているか紹介し, それに着想を得たわれわれの取り組みについても紹介したい.

講演題目 Service-Oriented Things: A Service-Oriented Paradigm for Internet of Things
講演者 Professor Kwei-Jay Lin, University of California, Irvine, IEEE Fellow
概要 We have been working on building intelligent middleware support for Internet of Things (IoT) to manage smart devices at home, office, campus or community. As the vision of Internet of Things becomes more widespread and promising, many IoT products have been conceptualized, designed and deployed. Given the purpose of IoT is to connect smart things on Internet, it is ideal to model smart things as service components and apply the SOA paradigm on physical devices in order to compose cyber-physical services. In this research, we propose the vision of "Service-Oriented Things" (SOT) which is to discover, compose and deploy mixed cyber and physical services so that users can easily build and customize Internet of Things services in our living environment. Our project has designed an IoT platform that allows new IoT devices to be built and deployed quickly, and then new IoT services can be easily composed. Users can then deploy them at any time and any place, and our middleware will map the services to available devices and servers dynamically. The mapping can also accept different policies to best match the user's needs.
講演者略歴 His research interest includes service-oriented systems, IoT systems, middleware, real-time computing, and distributed computing. I have published more than 200 papers in various journals, conferences and book chapters. He is an adjunct professor at many universities and research institutes, including the National Taiwan University and the National Tsinghua University, Taiwan; the Zhejiang University, China, and the Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan. He is also a Chief Scientist at the Intel-NTU Connected Context Computing Center at the National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan. He was a Visiting Chair Research Fellow at the Institute of Information Science, Academia Sinica, Taiwan.

題目 Discontinuous Galerkin Trefftz Finite Element Method
講師 Fritz Kretzschmar 氏(Technical University of Darmstadt)
講演要旨 A novel type of Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Method for wave propagation problems is presented in this talk. The method employs space?time Trefftz-type basis functions that satisfy the underlying partial differential equations exactly in an element?wise fashion. A suitable choice of Trefftz basis functions are plane waves traveling in various directions that are expressed as space-time polynomials of arbitrarily high order p. Methods implying such basis sets can exhibit spectral convergence under p enrichment in the whole space? time domain of interest . Formulating the approximation in terms of a space?time Trefftz basis makes high order time integration an inherent property of the method and clearly sets it apart from methods which employ a high order approximation in space only.

Research Challenges of Dynamic Spectrum Sharing for 5G Networks
講師 Prof. Eryk Dutkiewicz, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia
概要 The high demand for wireless Internet is putting extreme pressure on better utilisation of the available radio spectrum. The expected spectrum “famine” requires highly efficient radio resource management schemes with low complexity and high responsiveness to the changing network conditions. Dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) is regarded as an essential approach to regaining access to otherwise unused spectrum and it is considered an essential component in the development of 5G networks. DSS can be conducted at different time scales. Due to a potentially high cost of setting up the necessary infrastructure, initially the use of DSS may only be attractive to network operators over long time scales of months or years. This approach is currently taken in standards development activities as exemplified by the emergence of the Leased Spectrum Access concept. As the time scale of the operation of DSS decreases, the possibility for utilising more available spectrum holes increases. However, the shorter time scale brings with it challenges. Efficient decisions regarding the use of DSS require accurate knowledge of the spatial and temporal spectrum use in a geographical area of interest. This knowledge can be represented in Radio Environmental Maps (REMs) which need to be generated efficiently and accurately. As the deployment of DSS evolves from longer to shorter time scales of operation, an important design consideration is how to achieve this evolution in a seamless manner. In this presentation we give an overview of the DSS concept and its emergence in standards activities. We also present various approaches of REM generation for use with DSS.

Achievements in Electromagnetic and Antenna Engineering for Biomedical and Telecommunication Applications
講師 Prof. Karu Esselle, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia
概要 This presentation is an overview of our research in Electromagnetic and Antenna Engineering, aimed at Biomedical and Telecommunication applications. A wireless bio-telemetry system has been converted to an implantable system through antenna redesign, by addressing two most critical challenges - antenna detuning and bio-compatibility - in a coherent way. Extensive research on high-gain electromagnetic band gap (EBG) resonator antennas (EBGRA), which are suitable for medium-range point-to-point communication links, led to three EBGRA bandwidth records, finally achieving an unprecedented 50% bandwidth last year. A dielectric-resonator antenna with a full ground plane has a record bandwidth of 110% to cover the whole FCC ultra-wide (UWB) band. New UWB reflector surfaces allow the placement of low-cost printed UWB antennas close to and parallel to conducting surfaces in electronic gadgets. They covert these bi-directional printed UWB antennas with partial ground-planes to uni-directional antennas, saving almost 50% of power that is otherwise wasted due to the second beam into the lower hemisphere. Flexible antennas have been fabricated for wireless body area networks. We have shown that mobile phone signal propagation through energy saving glass windows in modern buildings can be significantly improved using frequency selective surfaces.
講演者略歴 Professor Karu Esselle, a full professor of Macquarie University, is the Past Associate Dean - Higher Degree Research of the Division of Information and Communication Sciences. He has also served as a member of the Division Executive from 2003 to 2008 and as the Head of the Department several times.

He is the only one from Asia Pacific region to be elected to this Administrative Committee in six years (from 2010 to 2015). Professor Esselle has authored over 400 research publications. His research has been funded extremely well by many national and international organisations including industry. He has provided expert assistance to more than a dozen companies in Australia and overseas. Professor Esselle and his mentees have received many awards. Nineteen international experts who examined the theses of his recent PhD graduates ranked them in the top 5% or 10%. Professor Esselle directs the Centre for Electromagnetic and Antenna Engineering (CELANE), which is in the Concentration of Research Excellence in Wireless Communications. He leads the Implantable Wireless Program of the WiMed Research Centre at the executive level. In addition to the large number of invited conference speeches he has given, he has been an invited keynote speaker of several events in Australia and overseas.

Machine Learning and Particle Swarm Optimization Tools for Searching in Big Databases
講師 Dr. Prof. Moncef Gabbouj, Academy of Finland Professor Tampere University of Technology, Tampere, Finland
概要 The talk deals with a new paradigm for multimedia search based on content. We present an alternative approach to classical search engines for information retrieval, which can be used for Big and generic multimedia repositories. We introduce an incremental evolution scheme within a collective network of (evolutionary) binary classifier (CNBC) framework. The proposed framework addresses the problems of feature/class scalability and achieves high classification and content-based retrieval performances over dynamic image repositories. The secret behind the success of CNBC is a novel design to implement the backbone of CNBC, namely the binary classifier. This is a special neural network, which is optimally designed using the recently developed evolutionary optimization algorithm called multi-dimensional particle swarm optimization.

Directional Filtering for Sequential Image Analysis
講師 Dr. Prof. Ari Visa, Professor Tampere University of Technology, Tampere, Finland
概要 Image sequences produced by, e.g., electro-optical sensors are being used increasingly for continuous quality monitoring and surveillance. This letter considers the important problem of multiframe change point detection of signals with unknown dynamics. We have proposed a new CUSUM-based (cumulative SUM) detector for detecting noise-obscured signals in a sequence of frames. Our sequential detector adopts directional filtering, a search philosophy of interesting pixels, of state-of-the-art detector that employs dynamic programming (DP) for so-called track-before-detect (TBD) processing. In case of a persistent change, a detailed comparison reveals our CUSUM-based detector superior to the DP-based TBD detector.
