Join us for an interactive session with native speakers from New Delhi India on Smart Cities New Delhi. Talks will be on Smart Connectivity using IoT devices and other smart city innovations. Smart Campus connectivity using IOT and Cloud Computing Smart campus connectivity using the Internet of Things (IoT) in India involves the integration of various IoT devices and technologies to improve communication, automation, and monitoring within a campus setting. This can include the use of sensors, smart devices, and networking technologies to improve energy efficiency, security, and the overall student experience. Some examples of how IoT can be used in a campus setting include smart lighting systems, temperature control systems, learning management, data handling and smart security systems. Additionally, IoT can also be used to improve the effectiveness of campus services such as transportation, parking, and library services. Cloud computing can help in connecting smart campus connectivity: 1. Data storage and processing: 2. AI Generative tasks 3. Analytics remote access and control 4. security and privacy 5.

Organizational mistakes and accidents have a long history in practice and have been studied extensively in the context of engineering and project development. One of the primary causes of persistent organizational error is the existence of deviance; i.e., behavior violating organizational norms. When these deviant behaviors become embedded in an organization’s culture and “normalized,” it can lead to a variety of behaviors in which company employees routinely and knowingly engage, often to the detriment of themselves and their projects. This presentation examines the latest research of the concept of normalization of deviance in projects, addressing the areas where it is most often found to occur, and the implications for it in practice. We will also discuss some of the means by which firms can begin to recognize these deviant behaviors and take meaningful corrective action.

The ANSI/NETA Standard for Electrical Commissioning Specifications for Electrical Power Equipment and Systems was developed for use by those responsible for testing and commissioning newly installed or retrofitted electrical power systems and equipment to guide them in specifying and performing the necessary inspections, tests, measurements, and system performance verification to commission an electrical power system infrastructure. This document aids in ensuring safe, reliable operation of the electrical power equipment and systems. It is essential to commission newly installed and retrofitted electrical power equipment and systems. Additionally, acceptance testing of the equipment provides the baseline test results for maintenance programs and equipment trending, while commissioning verifies the electrical equipment and system meets the owner’s project requirements and basis of design.

Abstract: We have entered the era of AI, brought about by three converging forces, including the availability of big data, the invention of deep learning algorithms, and high-performance computing accelerated by GPU. Meanwhile, 5G mobile communication systems are becoming increasingly complex due to the adoption of advanced technology features and the need to support various services with stringent performance requirements. AI has emerged as a powerful technology that improves system performance and enables new functions in 5G-Advanced and 6G. As 3GPP is ramping up AI items for the 5G-Advanced evolution, we anticipate that AI adoption in mobile networks will accelerate beyond proprietary solutions in the coming years. This talk will provide a state-of-the-art overview of AI use in mobile networks by describing the basic concepts, reviewing the recent key advances, discussing details of the 3GPP standardization aspects, and sharing various design rationales influencing standardization. Biography Xingqin Lin is a Senior Standards Engineer at NVIDIA, leading 3GPP standardization and conducting research at the intersection of 5G/6G and AI.
