Learning in the 5G Edge Cloud
Abstract: In this talk, we will start reviewing the basic motivations and enabling technologies underlying 5G networks. Then we will focus on the mobile edge cloud architecture and motivate the need for a holistic view of communication, computation and caching to meet stringent service delay constraints. We will present adaptive computation and communication scheduling mechanisms based on stochastic optimization, running in an environment affected by various sources of uncertainty. Finally, we will present various learning techniques, with a specific attention to methods based on topological representations able to capture multiway relations among the data.

dell’Università degli Studi di Roma TOR VERGATA terranno un seminario organizzato dal Prof. Gaspare Galati per la Ph.D. School in Electronic Engineering – DIE – Tor Vergata University il giorno martedì 4/02 dalle ore 14:00 alle ore 16:00 presso l’Università degli Studi di Roma TOR VERGATA Facoltà di Ingegneria – Via del Politecnico, 1 – Aula B15 – Nuovo Edificio Didattico su:
Animal Monitoring by Wireless Sensor Network with Experiments in Galapagos (Ecuador)
Abstract: The design of wireless sensor nodes for animal tracking is a multidisciplinary activity that presents several research challenges from both technical and biological point of views. A monitoring device has to be designed accounting for all system requirements including the specific characteristics of animals and environment. In this talk we present some aspects of the design of the wireless sensor node to track and monitor the pink iguana: a recently discovered species living in remote locations at the Galapagos Islands. The few individuals of this species live in a relatively small area that lacks of any available communication infrastructure. We present and discuss the energy harvesting architecture and the related energy management logic. We also discuss the impact of packaging on the sensor performance and the consequences of the limited available energy on the GPS tracking. We also present the new results coming from 20 devices installed on wild pink and yellow Iguanas in September 2019 and whose operation is planned for one year.

Il Dr. Luca Callegaro
dell’ Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica (INRIM) terrà un seminario organizzato dal Prof. Gaspare Galati per la Ph.D. School in Electronic Engineering – DIE – Tor Vergata University su:
The Redefinition of the International System of Units
Abstract: The International System of units (SI) is the basis of modern day measurements. In the SI currently in force, base units are defined in very different ways; the kilogram is defined as the mass of a single object, the international prototype – a cylinder of platinum-iridium alloy manufactured in 1889. The prototype is unique, at risk of damaging, nearly inaccessible (only about every 40 years) and there is some evidence of a change in its mass. On 16 November 2018 the General Conference of Weights and Measures has approved a major redefinition of the SI. All the seven base units are defined in terms of a fundamental constant of nature, which will have an exact value. It will be possible to realize the units everywhere and every time, by probing with experiments these fundamental constants. Electrical units are defined in terms of the elementary charge e and the Planck constant h; it will be possible to realize the volt, ohm and ampere by quantum experiments in solid-state devices. The kilogram, redefined in terms of the Planck constant h, is realized by counting atoms in a silicon sphere, or linking it to the quantum realization of the electrical power unit, the watt. The redefinition entered into force on May 20th, 2019.
