(https://engineering.stanford.edu/people/john-hennessy), past President of Stanford University (2000-2016) and Chairman of Alphabet Inc. will be in conversation with (https://muckrack.com/alan-weissberger/bio) of the (https://r6.ieee.org/sv-techhistory/) about the history of technologies and companies in Silicon Valley since the late 1970s. They will be joined on stage by IEEE past President (https://iwrc.ieeeusa.org/blog/portfolio-items/thomas-coughlin/) to discuss recent IEEE accomplishments, current focus areas and suggestions on how to strengthen the world’s largest technology non-profit organization. Our conversation will cover the evolution of RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) and its applications in smart phones, tablets and other devices. We will discuss the evolution of GPUs, the computational demands of machine learning, and the emergence of domain-specific architectures (DSAs). We will also discuss the founding of Atheros Communications (acquired by Qualcomm in 2011) and its development of chip sets for WiFi, Bluetooth and other OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing) technologies. That will lead us into a brief discussion of WiFi – one of the most successful IEEE standards (802.11) – and Bluetooth, along with the associated semiconductor and equipment companies that developed those ubiquitous technologies. Finally, we will turn to Google’s history, particularly its research activities. As a Google Board member for more than two decades, Prof. Hennessy has played a role in helping develop Google's strategic direction. With the current pervasiveness of AI, what does that hold for the future of science, technology and higher education?

This talk explores some foundational techniques that enable efficient, real-time analytics with minimal memory requirements. The algorithms covered include a clever bit-based strategy for approximating the count of 1s in a sliding window, ideal for binary streams where space efficiency is paramount. Another algorithm helps estimate statistical moments (mean, variance, skewness) using compact sketches, enabling a deeper understanding of stream distributions without storing the entire dataset. One other algorithm identifies trending items with exponential decay, giving more weight to recent data, a crucial method for dynamic environments like social media or sensor networks. Techniques like these form the backbone of intelligent stream processing. Through intuitive examples and practical applications, this session will demystify how these algorithms work, why they matter, and how they can be used to monitor, summarize, and react to data in motion. --------------------------------------------------------------- By registering for this event, you agree that IEEE and the organizers are not liable to you for any loss, damage, injury, or any incidental, indirect, special, consequential, or economic loss or damage (including loss of opportunity, exemplary or punitive damages).

This is a hybrid in-person and online event. Pre-registration is required for either. Medical image-based modeling and digital twins have emerged as powerful tools to support patient-specific cardiac surgical planning in adults and children. This presentation will discuss 3D modeling techniques that provide a complete pipeline from medical image segmentation to 3D anatomic models and blood flow simulations. The technology that makes this possible was recently extended to model the whole heart, including blood flow, tissue mechanics, electrophysiology, cardiac contraction, and heart valves. This presentation will also discuss recent applications of tools for clinical decision support. A first example is in adult cardiac surgery, where patient-specific modeling has been applied for vein graft failure prevention after coronary bypass graft surgery. Another example is in pediatric cardiac surgery where models have been used for clinical decision support in valve repair, flow re-direction, and bi-ventricular reconstruction. The program will conclude with a discussion of the open-source software and data resources that are available via the (https://simvascular.github.io/) and the (https://www.vascularmodel.com/).
