9:00 am - 12:00 pm Project Management Workshop 3 PDH's |
Workshop Overview
The Project Management workshop is intended for engineers,
technical leads, project leaders, and functional managers who want to practice the
fundamentals of project management to help themselves and their groups accomplish their endeavors,
whether at work, at home, or in the community. Participants will learn basic project
management techniques, and most importantly, how to apply them in real life without excessive
paperwork or overhead! The workshop will include templates and checklists to take away,
and examples of how to apply project management techniques to engineering and personal projects.

IPv6 Tutorial

Transition to IPv6
The American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) announced in May, 2007 that ISPs should use IPv6. ARIN has also implemented a pricing policy to encourage use of IPv6 for ISPs. Microsoft Vista is enabled for IPv6 'out of the box'. The transition to IPv6 seems inevitable in the next few years. What transition techniques may be used for IPv6? What might the migration issues be? In this session, the speaker will discuss:
IPv6 planning and migration is starting at some large Fortune 500 companies. Labs are being set up, address planning and security issues are being explored. What are the issues when your organization is one of the pillars of our economic system? Conversion on this scale requires the concerted change of many moving parts. You may liken it to the conversion of one currency system to another!
The speaker will discuss potential strategies and the decisions which need to be made based on work with Fortune 500 companies in the financial and health care sectors. New diagnostic methodologies will also be discussed.
One of the new challenges with IPv6 is structuring the addresses which will be allocated in your enterprise. In IPv4, the variable length subnet masks (VLSM) is often used to allocate addresses to routers and links between routers. In IPv6, there is no such concept. Or is there? In IPv6, the prefix (/48, /56, etc) is often used. We need to learn to become quite familiar with the usage of the prefix and see how that may help us to manage our addresses. This session will discuss::

3:00 - 4:45 PM Data Security Fundamentals for Power Systems Personnel 2 PDH's Ray Klump |
This presentation will describe the ways in which data is kept secret, verified to have come from a particular origin, and protected from unwanted modification while in transit. Such technology, which belongs to a field called Encryption and Authentication Systems, is very important to understand if you are an engineer or manager considering how to protect measurement and control data on the emerging smart electrical grid. This talk will explain symmetric and asymmetric cryptosystems and then explain how they are and may be applied to electric power applications.

Advancements Towards Sustainable Transportation Systems 1.5 PDH's Dr. Alireza KhalighDirector, Energy Harvesting and Renewable Energies Laboratory (EHREL) Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, Illinois Institute of Technology 3301 S. Dearborn St. Chicago, IL 60616 Tel: (312) 567-3444, Fax: (312) 567-8976 EML: khaligh@ece.iit.edu URL: http://www.ece.iit.edu/~khaligh/ |
As world continues to rely more and more upon vehicular transportation, the looming problems of fuel supply and air pollution become more imminent. The internal combustion engine (ICE) has long been the mechanism that propels our vehicles, and gasoline has been its major source of energy. This fuel supply is dwindling and researchers are looking for new sources of energy. Demands for higher fuel economy, performance, reliability, and reduced emissions push the automotive industry to seek advanced technologies such as electrification of ancillaries and engine augmentations.
An immediate solution to this problem is essential, and the most promising answer lies in hybrid electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (HEV and PHEV) technologies. The proposed long-term sustainable solution includes (1) integrating the transportation industry with the electric power industry, (2) using electricity as the carrier, and (3) generating electricity from renewable energy sources.
In this presentation, different HEV and PHEV configurations will be presented with a focus on engineering fundamentals as well as state-of-the-art research and development in the components and system integration. In addition, it is focused on drive train configurations and presents a review of conversion strategies to hybridize different vehicles.

2:45 - 4:30 PM Prairie North Medical Device Research to Product Deployment: Examples and key challenges in industry research 2 PDH's E. Clif Burdette, PhD |
This tutorial is intended to provide an overview of the field of image-guided interventions as well as the use of ultrasound and x-ray imaging for interventional procedures. This will cover the main technical topics in image-guided interventions including tracking, registration, tool guidance, and robotics. An emphasis will be placed on the translation from research to a commercial product. Clinical applications will be emphasized. The ultrasound discussion will cover the emerging field of interventional ultrasonography, which is a rapidly developing technique for guiding minimally invasive surgical interventions. Integration of multiple systems for image guided therapy (IGT) has created a demand for both standardized communications protocol and a need for platforms upon which various unique applications can be configured. Missing is a mechanism to bring together the benefits of these advances in a manner such that research algorithms can be implemented within commercial systems software and conversely, whereby commercial software can support innovation from research and translate new capabilities effectively into clinical applications through a software platform developed for the purpose of meeting ISO and FDA quality system requirements for control, documentation and testing. A current example of one method for achieving rapid translation within a commercial quality software framework will be presented for discussion. The tutorial aims to bring academic, clinical, and industry researchers together to help boost collaborative research and cross-pollinate ideas across clinical applications. It is anticipated that the workshop will be suitable both for the newcomer to image-guided interventions as well as established researchers from related fields who want to get an overview.
