IEEE Distinguished Lecture by Chao Tian (Texas A&M University)

Room: 4.1.D01, Bldg: Torres Quevedo, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Leganés, Av. de la Universidad 30, Legenés, Madrid, Spain, 28911

On Monday, May 6, Prof. Chao Tian from Texas A&M University will visit the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Campus Leganés, to give his Distinguished Lecture: Title: "Computer-Aided Investigation of Information-Theoretic Limits: An Overview” Abstract: The linear programming (LP) formulation of information measures provides a solid mathematical framework to identify the fundamental limits of information systems computationally. A critical issue of this approach is however its high computational complexity. To reduce the computation burden of this approach, we can utilize the symmetry structure in such systems. The strength of the symmetry-reduced approach is illustrated in several well-known difficult problems, such as regenerating codes, coded caching, and private information retrieval, which provides new and non-trivial outer bounds. In addition to rate bounds, more in-depth studies can be conducted on the joint entropy structure of these computed bounds, which often lead to reverse-engineered novel code constructions and further allow disproving linear code achievability. Finally, we discuss two new directions: the first is to allow the utilization of non-Shannon-type inequalities in the computational approach, and the second is to convert the original LP into a sequence of smaller LPs, both of which appear to be awaiting certain suitable machine-learning techniques.

Distinguished Lecture by Dr. Augusto Neto – Cloud-Network Slicing: Concepts, Benefits and Enablers

Bldg: Faculty of Computer Science, Campus Espinardo, University of Murcia, Murcia, Murcia, Spain, 30100

Cloud-Network slicing has emerged as a transformative paradigm in the realm of 5G, promising to revolutionize the way virtual and communication resources are allocated and managed. This talk delves into the fundamental concepts of cloud-network slicing, exploring our architecture, principles, and key technology enablers to set instances across core and RAN domains. We will delve into the various benefits that cloud-network slicing brings to the table, including improved multi-tenancy, enhanced network flexibility, and customized service delivery. Additionally, we will discuss the enabling technologies and methodologies that facilitate the implementation of cloud-network slicing, such as network function virtualization (NFV), software-defined networking (SDN), cloud computing, and predictive networking elasticity. Overall, this talk aims to provide attendees with a comprehensive understanding of cloud-network slicing, its benefits, and the key enablers driving its adoption in modern network architectures. Attendees will gain insights into how cloud-network slicing can unlock new opportunities for innovation and efficiency in cloud computing and networking domains.

ELECTRÓNICA DE COMPETICIÓN

Room: Salos de Actos ETSIIIT, Bldg: Los Tejos, Universidad Pública de Navarra, Campus Arrosadía, Pamplona, Navarra, Spain, 31006, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/417631

La electrónica está presente en múltiples ámbitos de nuestra vida cotidiana y su aprendizaje es de vital importancia para el desarrollo de la sociedad del futuro. El desarrollo de contenidos que permitan desarrollar múltiples competencias en torno a la electrónica surge a partir de diferentes ámbitos y uno de los que adquiere gran interés es el asociado a la electrónica de competición. Por ejemplo, la electrónica integrada en los coches de competición de fórmula 1 o la que se asocia a los coches eléctricos. En esta jornada se contará con la participación de varios ponentes que nos contarán sus experiencias en el campo de la electrónica y la importancia que tiene el desarrollo de competencias dentro de este ámbito a partir de ejemplos prácticos. Como colofón a la jornada se celebrará la novena edición de la competición de robots mini-Sumo entre los estudiantes de las especialidades de electrónica de los grados de Ingeniería de la Universidad Pública de Navarra.

IEEE PES ESPAÑA | | An assessment of the Iberian Exception to control electricity prices

Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/418724

IEEE PES ESPAÑA | | THE ENERGY TRANSITION | Towards a DECARBONIZED ENERGY | An assessment of the Iberian Exception to control electricity prices Estimados Miembros del Capítulo IEEE PES ESPAÑA y de la comunidad de sistemas eléctricos de potencia, Dear IEEE PES Spain Members and Colleagues from power and energy community, Continuing with the series on the topic LA TRANSICIÓN ENERGETICA | Hacia una ECONOMIA DESCARBONIZADA THE ENERGY TRANSITION | Towards a DECARBONIZED ECONOMY The energy transition towards a decarbonized economy will present a relevant challenge and a crucial transformation faced by our Society; Decelerating climate change effects is becoming a moral commitment. As a society, we are part of the decarbonized energy process that goes through the electrification of the economy and it is supported by renewables within a sustainable energy model. This means a change of paradigm which heads towards an immediate exciting future full of challenges at all levels associated with flexibility in its widest conception. It is assumed that a change of paradigm, that requires changing the focus from active based asset management towards the digitalization that ensures resiliency and security for the future electric systems. In this context, we need to contribute and stimulate the exchange of ideas from different perspectives and experiences, creating a framework of reflection through these series of webinars. The expected benefit and impact is the identification of opportunities within the complexity associated with the change of paradigm. In this Tomás Gómez and Pedro Linares (Universidad Pontificia Comillas) will share with us their assessment of the Iberian Exception to control electricity prices. Title: An assessment of the Iberian Exception to control electricity prices Content: The Iberian Exception, the mechanism designed by the Spanish and Portuguese governments to address high electricity prices resulting from the gas price crisis in 2021 and 2022, has been met with controversy, both regarding its real impact on electricity prices and also its unintended consequences, such as increased (and subsidized) exports to France. In this paper we review the evidence on these impacts from different studies, concluding that the mechanism may have produced, depending on the assumptions, some reductions in electricity prices for Iberian consumers or none at all, but always at the expense of subsidies to French consumers and also increased rents for gas combined cycles, higher gas consumption, and larger CO2 emissions. Alternative mechanisms, such as a temporary single-buyer scheme, might have produced similar benefits without the downsides of the Exception.
