MEETINGS IEEE
Dayton Section Meeting ALL WELCOME! 7
September Tuesday Evening 6:30pm to 8:00pm Joshi Research Center,
Room 499 Conference Room, Wright State University (Unless
otherwise noted, section meetings will be held 2nd Tues of the month) For
the Sept IEEE Dayton Section Meeting, we will be discussing the Fall Lecture Series,
2010 NAECON Grand Challenge ... composed of the smart vest and it's thermoelectric
power sources. We will be exploring the development of an IEEE Capstone project
in the area of "green" power systems. We need a committee to review proposals,
also with the committee we can address outside industry Funding issues. For the
high schools, we will consider the PEC teacher reward, which will be a combination
of high school and IEEE efforts, also in the area of "green" power systems. IEEE
Section meetings, will now be held in the Joshi Research Center, Room 499 (conference
room) at WSU.

Next Meeting Every Thurs
These groups meet every Thursday from 12:00-12:50 at AFIT, Bldg. 640, Room 265.
IEEE members and non-IEEE members welcome. “Bring Your Own Lunch” The meeting
lasts under an hour and guarantees that you’ll be back to work on time. The meeting
starts in working group format with each attendee relating current research/study
progress, problems, failures, solution etc. Following that, there is a 15 minute
featured speaker. It's also a good way to network with other Government engineers.
If you have any questions, please contact: Prof. Andrew J. Terzuoli, Jr. Air Force

at (937) 656-4055 or (937) 904-8065, 24 hours in advance so that a base pass can
be made out for you and left at the Visitor Center in Area B off of Springfield
Street gate number 1B. You will need some kind of I.D. to pick up
your pass. Bldg. 640 is located at the intersection of Loop Rd. and 11th/12th
Streets, near the AFRL twin towers building (Bldg 620). Parking is in front
or rear of Bldg. 640 (parking in the rear is more plentiful). Allow an extra
15-20 minutes to go through the visitor center. If you have any questions,

Signal
Processing Society Distinguished Speaker Series The Signal
Processing Society is pleased to announce the start of our new distinguished speaker
series. The goal of this series is to attract experts on a variety of cutting-edge
signal processing technologies of interest to our local chapter. Also,
if you have any recommendations or requests for future speakers (or would like
to be a guest speaker yourself!), please send me your ideas.
CS
Meeting: Tuesday, Mar 18 at 11:30 AMTitle:
Enemy behavior identification in on-line sensor streams
Please note: Attendees limited to U.S. citizens (this month only)
When: Tuesday, March 18 11:30-12:30 Where: Lockheed Martin
STS (Simulation, Training, and Support) 3000 Presidential Drive, Suite 215 (2nd
floor) Fairborn, OH RSVP: Dave Perez, david.perez.ctr@wapfb.mil
or (937)257-4318 Presenter: Dr. Richard R. Brooks,
Associate Professor, Holcombe Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering,
Clemson University Clemson, SC Abstract: We consider
the problem of identifying an adversary's higher level behaviors in distributed
sensor streams of on-line sensor data. We specifically address the level 2 (situation
assessment) and level 3 (threat assessment) data fusion problems in the Joint
Directors of Laboratories (JDL) heirarchy. We use symbolic features data output
from the level 1 (object assessment) fusion level. Hidden Markov Models (HMM)
are a computational tool widely used for applications like voice recognition.
Unfortunately HMM design typically relies on the existence of a priori information.
We extend the e-machine approach developed by Dr. Crutchfield at the Santa Fe
institute in order to infer HMM behavior detection models directly from symbolic
data streams. Our extension allows detection routines to be inferred directly
from data samples without any a priori information. We also note that current
HMM methods detect behaviors using a maximum likelihood approach, which has many
drawbacks. One major drawback is that the maximum likelihood approach ignores
the number of data samples processed. We present a new approach that uses confidence
intervals to determine the presence of behaviors in sensor data streams. Verification
of our approach uses the Department of Defense One SAF test bed war game tool
for data verification. Bring
a lunch if you wish. Free for
IEEE & ACM members. Previous
Computer Society Meetings High-Throughput
Computing for Massive Data Sets Using Stream-based Data Pipelines and Hybrid Computing
Architectures Speaker: Mr. Scott Lightner, Chief Architect,
Qbase Abstract: Mr. Scott Lightner, Chief Architect
from Qbase Inc., will present a modern approach to High-Throughput Computing (HTC)
for massive data sets. The sizes of today's data sets are growing at an exponential
rate. Medical imagery, aerial sensor data and nationwide collections of structured
data, are all growing in size while advances in data analytics algorithms are
becoming more complex and computationally expensive. Advances in commodity computer
technology (CPU's, memory and disk drives) are not keeping pace with today's processing
needs. The presentation will focus on HTC solutions being developed at Qbase which
combine cluster computing, hybrid computing architectures, parallel file storage
and high-speed networks with stream-based data pipeline software and self-aware
systems management software to provide an adaptable, fault-tolerant platform for
performing advanced analytics on massive data sets. Bring
a lunch if you wish. Free for IEEE
& ACM members.
LEOS Society Chapter LEOS MEETING What

IEEE Chapter in the Dayton Section. It is a joint chapter of two societies: SMC
stands for Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society and EMBS stands for Engineering
in Medicine and Biology Society. Michael Haas has accepted to Chair this chapter
and will form a team of officers in the upcoming weeks. All interested parties
welcome! To date this chapter has 7 EMBS members & 5 SMC members. Members
of either society are encouraged to participate. You don’t need to be a member
of both societies. Miami
