Topic: Biometric Rich Gestures: A Touching Farewell to
Passwords? Multi-touch interfaces allow users to have a very intuitive, tactile and visual interaction with a computing device by touching a surface with their fingers with gestures that resemble interaction with real life objects. The development of multi-touch technology opens up avenues for new authentication techniques that go beyond text passwords. In this talk we discuss gesture based authentication alternatives that are both engaging and pleasing to the users while providing strong security. Speaker Biography:Nasir

| Topic: Networking
Services: Signaling and QoS The objective of this tutorial is to describe the signalling used to set up a multimedia session and also how the quality of service (QoS) for a multimedia session can be guaranteed. We will first start with a brief description of QoS, QoE, and the Next Generation Networks. Then, we will present SIP and the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), followed by a description of the architecture and signalling of some well-knwon apps, such as instant messaging, presence, and IPTV. Subsequently, we will discuss topics related to QoS in the IP transport network, such as, MPLS and DiffServ, congestion control, and the Resource and Admission Control Functions (RACF).

Topic: Emerging Computational Technologies for Education Computational Thinking (CT) is becoming recognized as a fundamental skill, along with reading and writing, that needs to be taught in early grades. CT involves solving problems, designing systems, and understanding human behavior, by drawing on the concepts fundamental to computer science. The new Common Core Mathematics and Next Generation Science Standards recommend teaching of CT skills starting as early as grade 5. Every child will be educated to think like a computer scientist! Advancements in technology have played a major role in this recognition because of the integration it enables in teaching. In this talk, we will review current and future trends in the use of computing and communication technologies that will help bring CT-centric education to a reality. Speaker biography: Osman Yaşar holds an endowed professorship at the State University of New York. He has a diverse background in physics, engineering, and computer science. He has been at the forefront of computational science education. As an educator, he established the world's first undergraduate degree program in computational science and championed use of computational approach to math, science, and technology (C-MST) as pedagogy in middle and high schools. As a computer scientist, he helped computer industry design massively parallel computers. He served as the President of Intel Supercomputer Users Group and founded the High Performance Computing Users Group. As an an industrial researcher, he used supercomputers to solve environmental and manufacturing problems in engine combustion and plasma ignition. He testified before the U.S. Congress and advised the White House on matters related to STEM education. In 2005, he was honored by the Turkish Association of Journalists as one of the top 25 national icons in his native country (Turkey).He currently manages the C-MST Institute and receives major support from the federal government to conduct educational technology research and from the industry to help design new spark plugs and new compressors. He served as a consultant to many companies, including Koç Holding in Turkey. He's published more than 70 articles and written a dozen industrial codes. |

| Topic: Solar
Electricity: Realizing the dream through inkjet metallization of
multi-crystalline silicon solar cell Solar electricity is an attractive resource that can be tapped without exhaustion. However, solar cell, the device which converts sunlight into electricity must be cost effective to encourage widespread use of solar electricity. Cost-effective solar cell can be achieved through material usage, efficiency and economy of scale. The economy of scale has been employed since 2004 with production capacities of some companies in the 1 GW range, but the efficiency is not high enough because of the limitation in metalizing technology. Other technologies, such as laser opening and plate, extrusion, laser transfer process, aerosol seed and plate investigated by several researchers are still far away from production ready. The inkjet metallization is an alternative that is very promising because of the associated precision in material usage in creating fine and uniform gridlines for reduced shading. Efficiencies of >19% and 17.4%, respectively, on mono and multi-crystalline cells have been demonstrated using the same process as with the screen-printing technology. In this paper the results of inkjet metallization of multi-crystalline silicon solar cell is presented, for the first time, with efficiency of 17.4% and the technology roadmap to achieve lower-cost and high-efficiency multi-crystalline solar cells. Speaker biography:Abasifreke Ebong received a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of New South Wales, Australia in 1995. His PhD dissertation dealt with low-cost and double-sided buried contact silicon solar cells. In 1995, Dr. Ebong served as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Samsung Electronics, South Korea, where he worked on training and implementation of the buried contact technology transferred from the University of New South Wales. In September 1997, he joined the University Center of Excellence for Photovoltaic Research and Education, Georgia Tech., Atlanta, as a Research Faculty, where he worked on the development, design, modeling, fabrication, and characterization of low-cost, high-efficiency belt line multicrystalline, Cz, and Fz silicon solar cells. In 2001 he joined GE Global Research as Electrical Engineer, working on Solid State Lighting (LED-light emitting diodes) based on III-V semiconductors. While at GE, he developed current spreading model for light emitting diodes, which enhanced the evaluations of several conceptual designs without actually fabricating them. In 2004 he returned to the University Center of Excellence at Georgia Tech as the Assistant Director of the center, responsible for sponsored research in crystalline and amorphous silicon solar cells. Dr. Ebong joined the Faculty of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte as a Professor in February 2011. Having worked in close collaboration with several companies including; equipment, front silver screen-printed pastes, dielectric and silicon wafers to develop belt machine for contact co-firing, inline diffusion, and high quality front silver pastes, Dr Ebong brings more than 20 years’ experience to his current position. He has published over 100 papers in the field of Photovoltaics. His current research interest include: high throughput, low-cost and high efficiency silicon solar cells based on comprehension of screen-printed contacts formation to homogeneous emitters with high sheet resistances; Development of low-cost manufacturable high efficiency solar cells with alternative to screen-printed contacts; Electrochemistry and Device Physics. |

| Topic:
Location Base Services (LBS) for Commercial Services and
Public Safety Location Based Services (LBS) uses
the geographical location of mobile user equipment (UE) to offer a
range of value added services to consumer and enterprise users.
There are several use cases that will depend on this service, such
as tracking for fleet management or social interaction. Establishing
Public Safety Systems (PSS) based on GSM Networks is far most
priority of all modern countries to facilitate their citizens to
report the emergency situations instantly and call for help to
mitigate the risks of lives and their value able assets. In other
side Public Safety Services can be mobilized based on reported
emergency and set the target time to reach at accurate spot using
GSM and GPS systems. It also helps them to plan the arrival of
Services as per Emergency, such as Fire, flood and other natural
disasters. It also helps in roadside accident and mobilizing
ambulance, toe Tracks and police in situational orders. An overview of my industrial research work for public
Safety and onsite deployment notes for implementing at various
complex Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) will provide the basis for
discovering its advantages, prerequisites and dependencies when
selecting and comparing with competitive solutions on quality and
value for investment proposition. This research work will further elaborate the accuracy
issues and technological constraints and heavy budgets require for
establishing PSS for countries those have vast demographic areas,
tropical lands, mass rural and urban populations and outreaches with
hard terrains. Dr. Muhammad Manshad
