Abstract
Innovation
is a team effort. It’s more fun that way. And when like minds meet, learn,
share, invent, and work together, their efforts are multiplied. In this
session you will learn about the Pharos Center for Innovation. It is a home
for all entrepreneurs and innovators to gather and find the knowledge,
connections, and resources to succeed together. The Pharos Center for
Innovation, which is associated with Matter Labs provides services whether
you have an idea in the early stages or are just starting out. The Pharos
Center for Innovation accelerator program and the Matter Labs think thank
help you create successful, sustainable, and scalable new ventures. Matter
Labs is an affiliate of Hub101. Hub101 is a community space created through
the efforts of Cal Lutheran University (CLU), the city of Westlake, CA, local
business communities, and the CLU Center for Entrepreneurship. The goal of
Hub101 is to support students and community members as they work to create
new innovations and entrepreneurial business ventures.

Enabling DevOps and Cloud-Native Transformation in the Enterprise by
Combining Process and Technology
Pizza/Refreshments: 6:30 PM
Presentation: 7:00 PM
Speaker: Bryan Friedman
Free admission. Register at www.ieee-bv.org/meet/2018-10-cs
Abstract
As
enterprises increasingly rely on software to engage customers, innovation and
speed become core to delivering value. So most Fortune 2,000 companies are
embarking on a digital transformation movement in an effort to reduce cost
and deliver value faster. However, many organizations are finding that the
digital shift is more difficult than expected, especially at scale. How can
they improve developer productivity and operational efficiency while still
struggling to deal with their increasing challenges around security and high
availability?
The
revolution in software containers has opened up many possibilities for
enabling continuous deployment. Containers offer a way to speed application
delivery while increasing portability, but there are still things such as
dependencies and configuration that must be addressed to ensure the
developers and their systems coordinate smoothly with the production
environment. With Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF)'s "cf push"
experience, the platform manages the containers for you so developers
"just push code" and have apps deployed to production in minutes.
This model extends git-style development into real-world deployments. The
process works on all major public and private cloud infrastructure and
supports popular programming languages such as Java, .NET, Node.js, PHP,
Python, and more.
Plus,
Pivotal Labs to partner with enterprises and show them how to do Agile
development the "Silicon Valley" way - pair programming, test-driven
development, and continuous integration and delivery. Along with the platform
and methodology, Pivotal brings a curated set of open source tooling and
frameworks for building and integrating software; among them: the popular
Spring Framework including Spring Boot and Spring Cloud for building Java
microservices, RabbitMQ for highly-reliable messaging, and a unique and
flexible CI/CD system called Concourse.

Speaker
Bryan Friedman is a Product Marketing
Director for Pivotal. Prior to working for Pivotal, Bryan was a Product
Manager and Director at CenturyLink Cloud. In addition to his recent
experience in the cloud product management space, he spent over ten years at
Amgen in various information technology areas including web application development,
document management and collaboration, business intelligence, identity and
access management, and financial planning and reporting systems. He holds a
Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo as well
as a Master’s Degree in Computer Science and an MBA in Finance from
California Lutheran University. He lives in Thousand Oaks with his wife, two
daughters, and dog Princeton. You can find Bryan on Twitter at

Power Integrity Effects on Signal Integrity in FPGA Systems – Measurements
and Analysis Using an FPGA Configured Vector Network Analyzer
Pizza/Refreshments: 6:30 PM
Presentation: 7:00 PM
Speaker: Cosmin Iorga
Free admission. Register at www.ieee-bv.org/meet/2018-10-edcas
Abstract
Power
integrity issues may create intermittent failures and signal integrity
degradation in FPGA systems. This talk starts with fundamental concepts of
power integrity and signal integrity and presents a novel method for power
integrity analysis in FPGA systems by configuring the FPGA to function as a
Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) test instrument for its own power delivery
network (PDN). This VNA measures the impedance profile of the PDN as seen by
the logic circuits on the FPGA die and extracts an S-parameter model of the
FPGA PDN, that includes the PDN elements on the FPGA die, FPGA package, and
PCB. The S-parameter model is then used in circuit simulations to evaluate
the power supply noise in the FPGA and the signal integrity in the FPGA I/O
serial data links.
About the
Speaker
Dr. Cosmin Iorga has earned his PhD in
Electrical Engineering from Stanford University. He has accumulated over 20
years of experience in high speed analog and mixed signal circuit design and
troubleshooting at system, board, and integrated circuit levels, with
emphasis on signal integrity, power integrity, and noise coupling reduction.
Cosmin has 10 patents covering innovative solutions in noise coupling
reduction and signal integrity. Cosmin is the author of the book “Noise
Coupling in Integrated Circuits: A Practical Approach to Analysis, Modeling,
and Suppression”, and he teaches courses in analog circuit design, data
converters, and power integrity at UCLA Extension.

Girls Make Tech with Heart 2018
4th Annual STEM
Event
10:00 AM to 2:30 PM
Event is free of charge. Capacity limited to 120 girls and
120 parents. Lunch will be provided.
Registration
required: www.ieee-bv.org/stem
Girls in middle school (typically age 10 to 14)
will become scientists and engineers for a day. The workshops will include
experiments with imaging, virtual reality, sensors, bioengineering, or
robotics.
Parents can attend a concurrent program
with a mix of hands on experiences that can be duplicated at home and
discover the future that awaits their daughters in Science, Technology, Engineering
and Math (STEM). The parents program will conclude with a visit to the
classrooms to see what the kids have learned.
Girls
can participate without parents attending. All girls will be under the
supervision of mentors.

Vivonetics: Progressing Clinical Research with Wearable Technology
Dinner (optional): Available at 6:00 PM
for $12, payable at the door.
Presentation (free): 7:00
PM
Speaker: Alexa Williamson
Free admission to presentation. Register at www.ieee-bv.org/meet/2018-10-emb
Abstract
Wearable
sensors have become ubiquitous in the world of fitness tracking and
quantified self, but data from these devices is limited to basic analysis.
Vivonoetics, with our software platform VivoSense, enables continuous data to
be analyzed with accuracy and repeatability. VivoSense is a sensor agnostic
software that combines multiple sensor data onto one analysis platform. Sensor
data can be synced together, making data collection possibilities for
academic and clinical research boundless. This presentation will give an
overview of the VivoSense software, how it meets the needs of a universal
physiological data analysis program and its built in algorithms that provide
quality physiological end points for research.
About the
Speaker
Alexa Williamson, B.S. in Biomedical
Engineering and Physiology, is a Data Analyst at Vivonoetics. She has over
five years of research experience over three physiology-based laboratories
within optical engineering, pharmacology and genetic research fields. She is
trained in data analysis in respiratory inductance plethysmography and heart
rate variability, and performs analysis for clinical trials research. She is
passionate about the bridge between diagnostic technology and health care,
and how the quality of these systems can improve to generate more predictable
physiological metrics.

Fall Section Mixer - Minding the Madness Through Data - Expert Panel Event
Buffet Dinner: 6:30 PM
Panel: 7:00 PM – 8:15 PM
Free admission
but registration required: www.ieee-bv.org/meet/2018-11-mixer
Abstract
When
lives are at stake, deciding the right actions fast is essential. The success
of the outcome depends on our ability to detect and discern which information
is most significant to prepare for, handle, and recover from a disastrous set
of events. This may require to see anomalies or changes of patterns in the
midst very noisy data. The panelists will cover different industry and fields
of expertise and will discuss progress, challenges, and future directions in
the art of minding the madness through data in crisis time. Panelists will be
announced later in October.
