Engineers traditionally use deterministic modeling in their tasks, but challenges for developing and optimizing products and processes inspire us to venture beyond deterministic to probabilistic or stochastic modeling. The melding of engineering modeling with probabilistic thinking empowers engineers to develop confidence for ourselves, our customers and regulatory agencies that our products are likely to be successful and that we will flawlessly meet or exceed expectations over a comprehensive range of use conditions. Predictive engineering starts from measurable system level requirements, exploration and documentation of use conditions, and expanding on deterministic models with probabilistic modeling using Monte Carlo Simulation or Bayesian Networks to optimize the design and process. Probabilistic and stochastic modeling has provided competitive advantages for enterprises, for products, and for both experienced engineers and engineers early in their careers. Event is organized by IEEE Hawaii YP, IAS, and WIE and co-hosted with several other organizations. Depending on the level of interest in this event, a follow on series with Six Sigma certification is possible. Speaker(s): Eric Maass, PhD Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/382000

Practical 5G use cases. When 5G was unveiled to the industry & public a few years ago, there were numerous advantages highlighted. Changing our life due to the amount of data that can be collected, processed, and analyzed. On the technical side it was promised to deliver higher data rates, less energy consumption, better latency and unified operation. It turned out some of those enhancements are contradicting with each other. After few years of deploying 5G in Canada, our speaker will share with us a bit on what actually worked and what has to wait a bit longer. This talk is unique and will be delivered by Telus CTO Dr. Ibrahim Gedeon. Thank you, Ibrahim, for your time and effort. Speaker(s): Ibrahim Gedeon Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/388889

The sixth generation (6G) of wireless technology promises to revolutionize various sectors such as connected vehicles, smart buildings, and secure mobile enterprises. However, the development of 6G must learn from the mistakes of the fifth generation (5G) and prioritize security from the outset. In this talk, we will explore the promise of 6G applications and the importance of avoiding the security mistakes of 5G. One of the primary concerns with 5G is its lack of security, particularly in connected vehicles, smart buildings, and secure mobile enterprises. For instance, researchers have demonstrated the ease of hacking into 5G-connected cars and taking control of their systems. Similarly, smart buildings and secure mobile enterprises are also vulnerable to cyber-attacks, which can have severe consequences. These examples highlight the urgent need for robust security measures in 6G to prevent similar breaches. The evolution of mobile security technology has come a long way, from 4G to 5G and now 6G. However, each generation has brought new security challenges, and 5G is no exception. The lack of a good security architecture in 5G has resulted in vulnerabilities that can be exploited by attackers. Therefore, it is essential to build 6G security from the ground up, incorporating lessons learned from past generations and integrating advanced security features. To build 6G security from the ground up, we must prioritize security in the design and development of 6G networks and devices. This includes implementing robust encryption, authentication, and access control mechanisms. Additionally, we must adopt a zero-trust approach, assuming that all devices and networks are vulnerable and must be verified and authenticated continuously. Furthermore, we must invest in research and development to stay ahead of emerging threats and develop new security technologies. In conclusion, 6G security must avoid the mistakes of 5G and prioritize security from the outset. We must learn from the vulnerabilities of connected vehicles, smart buildings, and secure mobile enterprises and integrate advanced security features into 6G networks and devices. By building 6G security from the ground up, we can ensure the safety and privacy of users and prevent cyber-attacks. Therefore, we must take a proactive approach to 6G security and work together to develop a secure and reliable sixth generation of wireless technology. We must act now to secure our future.
