In this talk I will discuss a common and pernicious form of technical debt--called design debt, or architecture debt. I will briefly present the theoretical foundation behind this form of debt and present a broad set of evidence demonstrating its dramatic effects on project outcomes. That is the bad news. The good news is that... Read more →

AR/VR devices promise a new era of immersive computing, where our everyday experience is augmented with helpful information (Augmented Reality), or where we are immersed in fully virtual worlds (Virtual Reality). These systems fuse the physical world, and the virtual world, through computing resources to provide these immersive experiences rendered on the user's headset. As... Read more →

With the advent of smart products, we are surrounded by wireless devices communicating via different technologies, like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, LTE, 5G, etc. When designing such products, it is important to test their performance inside different indoor and outdoor environments, for both coverage and interference. WinProp offers highly accurate and fast propagation models for almost every... Read more →

Gallium nitride (GaN) power devices have only recently become available commercially from different copmpanies. The new devices enable the design of converters at higher frequencies and efficiencies than those achievable with conventional Si devices. This webinar will review the characteristics and figures of marit of different types GaN devices enhancement and depletion mode and will... Read more →

The Montreal Chapter of Control Systems (CS) cordially invites you to attend the following in-person talk, given by Dr. CARLOS SOTELO and Dr. DAVID SOTELO from the Tecnológico de Monterrey, Mexico. Co-sponsored by: Concordia University Speaker(s): Dr. Carlos Sotelo and David Sotelo Room: EV 2.184, Bldg: EV Building, Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, H3G 1M8

Generic Large Language Models (GLLMs) are continuously being released with increased size and capabilities, promoting the abilities of these tools as universal problem solvers. While the reliability of GLLMs' responses is questionable in many situations, these are augmented/ retrofitted with external resources for different applications including cybersecurity. The talk will discuss major security concerns of... Read more →

Abstract: Hybrid quantum systems offer a promising platform to study quantum phenomena that benefit from the individual strengths of their components. A new emerging hybrid quantum platform composed of spin-doped solid noble gas crystals and superconducting resonators. The noble gas crystals offer a soft, inert, predominantly spin-0 host matrix for the atomic impurities, while the... Read more →

Analog/RF IC design has been traditionally considered an art – sometimes even a “black art” – because, contrary to digital IC design, analog/RF design combines complexity, non-linearity, conflicting design objectives and limited automation in EDA tooling. Analog/RF IC designers rely on a blend of technical expertise, intuition, accumulated experience, and creativity to meet the demanding... Read more →
