Speaker:
Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou, Associate Professor, Computer Engineering Chair, Director of Recruiting and Admissions, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of New Mexico
When: 10:00AM ~ 10:50AM, Monday March 25, 2024
Where: CSB 130
Abstract: This keynote talk will present an in-depth examination of the imperative theme of proficient resource orchestration within the framework of emerging next-generation complex systems. The scope of the presentation spans critical domains including wireless communication, distributed computing, and smart grid technologies, providing a detailed analysis of key concepts such as Satisfaction Games and their strategic application in enhancing Positioning, Navigation, and Timing functionalities. Moreover, the presentation will analyze the dynamic intricacies of resource orchestration within prosumer-centric self-sustained Distributed Energy Resource (DER) systems. The analysis will highlight the integration of cutting-edge reinforcement learning techniques within Demand Response Management (DRM), specifically tailored for smart grids involving prosumers. Attendees will be offered insights into the groundbreaking HELIOCOMM system, the world's first wireless communication system supporting Concentrating Solar-thermal Power (CSP) systems, emphasizing its innovative contributions to the evolving landscape. The talk will extend to the important role of cybersecurity, emphasizing the paramount significance of securing the Electric Vehicle (EV) ecosystem through the implementation of robust Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). The presentation will continue with the examination of the Goaltender, a sophisticated cloud-based defense and response tool meticulously designed to fortify DER ecosystems. This comprehensive keynote aims to provide a thorough understanding of proficient resource orchestration, intricacies of cybersecurity, and their profound implications for shaping the trajectory of future complex systems. Participants will gain valuable insights into the cutting-edge technologies and strategies that are poised to redefine the landscape of next-generation complex systems.
