Recordings and Slides from Past Meetings

Computer Society – 2023 Meetings

 October Meeting:

  • Anders M. Buvarp: Introduction to Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces
    • Note that this recording takes a few minutes to load.   Also we had some technical issues from 3:30 to 12:00.   So I suggest watching my introduction to 3:30 then jumping to 12:00 when Anders presentation starts.

CIT Summer Series:  

Hope you were able to attend at least some of the webinars from the Careers in Technology series put on by the Northwest Florida Section, Computer/Communication Chapter led by Michael Viron.  PPCS was a joint host.   Michael did a great job attracting an excellent set of speakers from the Distinguished Visitors Program.

Two of my personal favorites were David Allen Greer on the Generations of Computer Science, and Jon Peddie on a History of Visual Magic in Computers.

  • September Meeting:

  • Data Fusion and Resource Management Technical Architecture – Chris Bowman, PhD
  • The DNN Technical Architecture provides a standard functional decomposition of DF&RM software development point designs, interface descriptions, and engineering methodology to enable software tool reuse and reduce need for one-of-a-kind DF&RM systems. The goals of the presentation include:
    • Provide an understanding of the roles for DF&RM
    • Describe how the Data Fusion heritage can be used to “jump-start” dual Resource Management solutions
    • Describe DF&RM Dual Node Network (DNN) Technical Architecture
    • Provide Problem-to-Solution Mappings for Data Association

  • August Meeting:

  • Who Invented the Integrated Circuit – Gene Freeman
  • The integrated circuit is one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century and continues its dominance as an electronic packaging technology  in the 21st Century.    This talk focuses on its beginnings and looks at the controversies around attribution of “who was first?”
  • We had two special guests at this meeting Lisa Kocks, Historian, IEEE History Center and Francesco Gerali, ICOHTEC member and IEEE History Center 2019 Pugh Scholar.  Looking forward to future collaboration.
