ii. Distinguished Lecture “Fog Computing & Networking – A New Paradigm for Future IoT” given by Prof. Tony Q.S. Quek.
The talks were held on April 23, 2018 at National Taiwan University. The abstract is given below: Abstract -- A recent trend during the past decade is to push various capabilities, such as computation, control, and storage, to the cloud. Such an over-dependence on the cloud, however, indicates that availability and fault tolerance issues in the cloud would directly impact millions of end-users. Such a cloud-centric architecture is not suitable for satisfying the demands of many delay-sensitive applications in future IoT. In viewing of these challenges, the cloud is now "descending" to the network edge and diffuses among the client devices in both mobile and wired networks. Such transition leads to the new paradigm of fog computing and networking. In this talk, we will provide an overview of fog computing and networking and will discuss some recent work related to this research area. iii.

It is hence crucial to increase network capacity to accommodate these bandwidth consuming applications and services. D2D communication, which has been listed in 3GPP as a study item, is a promising concept to improve user experiences and resource utilization in cellular networks, both for licensed and unlicensed spectrum. However, design, analysis, and optimization of D2D communications & networking require multidisciplinary knowledge, such as wireless communication and networking, signal processing, artificial intelligence (e.g., for learning), decision theory, optimization, and economic theory. Therefore, this tutorial, containing the basic concepts/theories for addressing research advances that enable D2D communications in cellular networks, the state-of-the-art of research and development and the related information, will be useful in designing D2D-based wireless communications systems and services. viii.

Abstract -- Industrial internet of things (IIoT), by providing connectivity to machines, robots, and sensors, etc, enables data intelligence-assisted information technology (IT) and operation technology (OT) convergence. In IIoT, multi-disciplinary research on communications, caching, computing, control, and security (SC4), is needed, with built-in autonomous learning and adaptation capabilities. In this talk, we will start with a brief introduction to IIoT, and then share the IIoT research and design challenges. A design approach will then be proposed to overcome these challenges, under the theme of cognitive IIoT in which the device and the network will build up learning capabilities for context-aware resource, interference, and mobility management, automated fault detection and recovery, and robust connectivity; multi-modal security detection capability is incorporated into the device and network for real-time anomaly and security detection and management. The interactive and cooperative edge-cloud analytics will also be introduced to enable low-latency real-time actionable insight and robust feature engineering. Finally, the 5G’s role, especially the 5G machine-type communications (MTC), from both the massive MTC aspect, and the ultra-reliable low latency communications (uRLLC) aspect, will be discussed.

However, unlike all other technological media, the human body is not simply another surface for enhancement—it is the substance of life, one that encompasses the complexity of individual and social identity. Yet, technologies for placement on the body have often been developed separately from these considerations, with a dominant emphasis on engineering breakthroughs. Her research involves opportunities for cultural interventions in the development of technologies that move beyond clothing and textiles, and that are purposefully designed to be placed directly on the body. In her research, body craft is defined as existing cultural, historical, and fashion- driven practices and rituals associated with body decoration, ornamentation, and modification. As its name implies, hybrid body craft (HBC) is an attempt to hybridize technology with body craft materials, form factors, and application rituals, with the intention of integrating new technological functions with no prior relationships with the human body with existing cultural practices. With this grounding, HBC can 48
support the generation of future techno customs in which technology is integrated into culturally meaningful body adornments. In this talk, she introduced three artifacts generated from the HBC framework and engineering approach: (1) DuoSkin, an on-skin interface fabrication process grounded in metallic temporary tattoo practices, (2) NailO, a fingernail mounted track-pad that doubles as a nail art sticker, and (3) Kino, on-body robots which are serve as jewelry pieces. Hybrid in design, these artifacts concomitantly serve as technological devices and body art. While they encompass the functionality of on- body technologies, they can be applied, worn, and experienced as body crafts. By incorporating cultural considerations into the design of on-body technologies, she explored opportunities for extending their lifetimes and purposes beyond mere novelty and into the realms of cultural customs and traditions. The technology of today is soon obsolete, yet cultural customs are passed on, and carried on, throughout generations. ii. Technical speech given by Dr. Victor C.M. Leung from University of British Columbia, with the title “Internet of Things - Some Challenges and Recent Results”
Time: 24/01/2018; 10:15 a.m.-11:45 a.m. City: Hsinchu Country: Taiwan Attendance: 51 Event Description: The Internet of Things (IoT) extends the Internet to connect not only computers and smart devices carried by people, but “things” with embedded sensors, actuators, and networking capabilities. IoT will enable many new services and applications such as smart grids, intelligent transportation, e-health, smart homes/buildings/offices/factories, which will be an integral part of the future smart cities. However, widespread deployment of IoT in society, especially in the context of smart cities, is challenged by a number of issues, most notably the utility, efficiency and security of IoT solutions. In this presentation, we shall focus on the first two of these issues. Conventionally IoT applications have been provisioned with dedicated protocol stacks that are fine tuned for the specific applications, which limit the utility of such systems to other possibly new applications that were not considered when these “application silos” were designed and implemented. Following the trend of network functions virtualization, software-defined networking, and virtualized cloud computing services, we present a framework for wireless sensors as a service, aided by sensor-cloud integration. Due to the distributed and heterogeneous nature of this framework and the fact that computations are increasingly migrated to the network edge, programming such a system, especially coordinating the multitude of software components that are deployed on the edge computing devices, is challenging. We present some results on programming model and process coordination mechanisms to address this challenge. Energy efficiency is another important issue in the design of IoT systems, due to the potentially
49
widespread deployment of IoT devices and the fact that many such devices are battery operated and deployed in situations where battery replacement is awkward if not impossible. We address this issue from the sensor-cloud perspective by developing a sensor sleep scheduling scheme driven by the needs of sensor data by applications. On the other hand, we are developing embedded radio and enabling protocol for IoT devices that incorporate energy harvesting and message-driven wake-up capabilities. We conclude the presentation with a brief discussion on open problems and future research directions. iii. Technical speech given by Prof. Zhi Ding from University of California Davis, with the title “Markov Decision Process Control for High Spectral Efficiency in IP Wireless Networks
Time: 24/01/2018; 10:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m. City: Hsinchu Country: Taiwan Attendance: 41 Event Description: The past decade has witnessed a strong trend of the convergence towards a packet- switched all-IP infrastructure in wireless networks. The domination of IP packets in cellular data communications has made header compression a vital process in wireless networks because of its important role in substantially improving spectrum efficiency by increasing packet payload. As competition intensifies for the limited bandwidth resource among a growing number of wireless applications, services, and users, it no longer suffices to only focus on PHY/MAC layers for spectral efficiency improvement. In this work, we present an innovative, ``trans-layer'' approach to integratively improve overall network efficiency. We propose an innovative approach by modeling header control as a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) in order to maximize the success rate and hence the efficiency of ROHC decompression. Unlike the ``cross-layer'' concept, our POMDP framework for ROHC relies on ``trans-layer'' informations observed through multiple interactive network layers, for optimized header compression design and control decisions. We develop novel methodologies and architectures to jointly optimize header compression and lower layer decisions in wireless networks to achieve significant improvement of transmission efficiency and robustness. iv. 2018 National Symposium on Telecommunications (NST 2018) & 2018 Information Theory-Communications Spring Workshop (ITCOM Spring 2018 )
Time: 25/01/2018 08:30 a.m.~27/01/2018 03:00 p.m. City: Taipei Country: Taiwan Attendance: 411 Event Description: The 2018 National Symposium on Telecommunications (NST 2018) is a very important event for the domestic telecommunication industry. This symposium has 50

We are also grateful to Professor Victor C.M. Leung of University of British Columbia, Canada and Professor Zhi Ding of University of California at Davis, USA for their outstanding keynote speeches. v. Technical speech given by Prof. Posco (Fung Po) Tso from Loughborough University, with the title “Network Service Chaining: from Cloud to Fog and Edge”
Time: 23/04/2018; 14:30 p.m.-15:30 p.m. City: Hsinchu Country: Taiwan Attendance: 38 Event Description: Cloud Data centre operators deploy a great variety of network functions (NFs), e.g. firewall (FWs), network monitor, and load balancer (LB), etc., at various points in the network topology to create in-network services, safeguard networks and improve application performance. In practice, various permutations or subsets of these functions form an ordered composition (or service chain) --as defined by a network policy --that must be applied to packets in uni-directional or bi-directional manner. This process is also known as service function chaining. With the introduction of ubiquitous compute devices, e.g., in the Internet of Things (IoT), these network functions can also run on a large numbers of distributed devices that are scattered around us --close to end users --as the emerging fog and edge computing paradigms for improving data privacy and application performance. In light of this, we envision an integrated cloud, fog and edge computing paradigm in which novel network services can seamlessly move across different networks (be it cloud, fog or edge) for delivering ubiquitous services that are personalised and can move with users. vi. Technical speech given by Prof. Yuguang “Michael” Fang from University of Florida, with the title “Beef Up the Edge: How to Build a More Powerful IoT System”
Time: 02/07/2018; 03:00 p.m.-04:00 p.m.
City: Hisnchu
Country: Taiwan
Attendance: 30
Event Description:
Connected things in various cyber-physical systems (CPSs), namely IoTs, enable us to sense physical environments, extract intelligent information, and better regulate physical systems we heavily depend on in our daily life. Unfortunately, how to design effective and efficient systems to meet specific applications with diverse quality of service requirements is of paramount importance but highly challenging due to the spatial and temporal variations of user traffic, network spectrum resource, 51
computing capability, storage, and device types. One holistic design approach from the end-to-end perspective seems to be in dire need. In this talk, the speaker will discuss various related problems and challenges in a connected world and then present a novel collaborative network architecture to enabling connected things to effectively harvest in-network capability (spectrum, energy, storage, and computing power) in a cognitive fashion and intelligently manage the spectrum efficiency, energy efficiency, and yes, security! By pushing in-network capability in communications, computing, and storage to the edge, this network architecture provides an effective and robust approach to IoT.
vii. The 2018 IEEE Taiwan Workshop on Information Theory and Communications

Technical speech given by Prof. Zhu Han from University of Houston, with the title “Wireless Device-to-Device Communications and Networks”
Time: 22/08/2018; 09:50 a.m.-11:50 a.m. City: Hisnchu Country: Taiwan Attendance: 51 Event Description: Mobile data traffic, especially mobile video traffic, has dramatically increased in recent years with the emergence of smart phones, tablets, and various new applications. It is hence crucial to increase network capacity to accommodate these bandwidth consuming applications and services. D2D communication, which has been listed in 3GPP as a study item, is a promising concept to improve user experiences and resource utilization in cellular networks, both for licensed and unlicensed spectrum. However, design, analysis, and optimization of D2D communications & networking require multidisciplinary knowledge, such as wireless communication and networking, signal processing, artificial intelligence (e.g., for learning), decision theory, optimization, and economic theory. Therefore, this tutorial, containing the basic concepts/theories for addressing research advances that enable D2D communications in cellular networks, the state-of-the-art of research and development and the related information, will be useful in designing D2D-based wireless communications systems and services.

ix. Technical speech given by Dr. Sumei Sun FROM Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R), with the title “Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT): An Integrated Design of Secure Communications, Caching, Computing, and Control (SC4)”
Time: 22/08/2018; 09:50 a.m.-11:00 a.m. City: Hisnchu Country: Taiwan Attendance: 40 Event Description: Industrial internet of things (IIoT), by providing connectivity to machines, robots, and sensors, etc, enables data intelligence-assisted information technology (IT) and operation technology (OT) convergence. In IIoT, multi-disciplinary research on communications, caching, computing, control, and security (SC4), is needed, with built-in autonomous learning and adaptation capabilities. In this talk, we will start with a brief introduction to IIoT, and then share the IIoT research and design challenges. A design approach will then be proposed to overcome these challenges, under the theme of cognitive IIoT in which the device and the network will build up learning capabilities for context-aware resource, interference, and mobility management, automated fault detection and recovery, and robust connectivity; multi- modal security detection capability is incorporated into the device and network for real-time anomaly and security detection and management. The interactive and cooperative edge-cloud analytics will also be introduced to enable low-latency real- time actionable insight and robust feature engineering. Finally, the 5G’s role, especially the 5G machine-type communications (MTC), from both the massive MTC aspect, and the ultra-reliable low latency communications (uRLLC) aspect, will be discussed. x. 15th IEEE Vehicular Technology Society Asia Pacific Wireless Communications Symposium (IEEE VTS APWCS 2018)

Time: 06/11/2018; 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. City: Hisnchu Country: Taiwan Attendance: 38 Event Description: Future 5G IoT networks are expected to be the ultra-dense wireless networks aiming at providing a wide-range of services, from high-rate continuous applications to low- rate sporadic short-burst services. Motivating to provide sporadic short-burst IoT traffic of requiring massive connectivity, the radio access techniques based on the traditional multiple-access schemes used, such as, in LTE/LTE-A, are inefficient, due to the resultant high overhead ratio or/and their infeasiblity of supporting massive connectivity. Therefore, in this talk, we first address the main challenges of radio access in 5G massive IoT networks. Then, aiming for massive connectivity or/and overhead ratio reduction, the problems and technical solutions for both granted and grant-free massive access are explored based on our recent research. A range of multiple-access and detection schemes that are suitable for operation in heavily loaded IoT systems will be discussed. We compare their advantages, disadvantages and challenges, when practical implementation issues are considered. The talk will be concluded by discussing some open problems for future research. xii.

2018 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics- Taiwan The 2018 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics– Taiwan was held from May 19-21 at National Chung Hsing University, Taichung City, Taiwan. As a grand venue for scholars and professional persons all around the world, IEEE ICCE- Taiwan aims to initiate profound discussions on research and discovery in electronics and relevant professional field. Furthermore, the vision is to set IEEE ICCE-Taiwan as a milestone in consumer electronic field and become a historic and dominant conference year by year with strong and resourceful support from the IEEE Taipei Section. In this year in total we have 250 participants from 14 various countries. In particular, the Young Professionals event was held in conjunction with the reception as follows: Speaker: AKIHIKO KEN SUGIYAMA, Research Fellow, NEC Data Science Research Laboratories, IEEE Fellow and Distinguished Lecture, IEICE Fellow Title: Easy and lazy technical writing for engineers and scientists Abstract: This lecture presents an easy and lazy way to prepare technical papers targeting at novices such as entry-level engineers and students. A good logic is a key to good technical writing, however, it is not easy for unexperienced authors to establish. As a solution, “Slides First” is proposed and explained in details with examples. Then, elements of a paper are explained one after another using examples and templates which can be applied in the actual drafting process. One of the most useful templates is a "Three-Sentence Introduction" which is a useful tool for writing an Introduction of a short paper such as a single-page paper. Some typical traps are
66
introduced to call attention to a fact that practice is more important than lectures. Finally, to complement this talk, tips for slide preparation are presented.
Women In Engineering (WIE) A WIE promoting workshop was organized. (on 05/11/2018) Most of the attendees were students and two of the attendees are professors who are also IEEE members. In the workshop Professor Chen first introduced the missions and visions of IEEE to the attendees. Then she introduced IEEE WIE to the attendees and presented some past events and activities. And then a technical event was also organized after the promoting workshop. Professor Chen gave a speech on the topic of a microwave heating chip system. The photos of the events are shown below.

C.2 Relationship with National and International Societies and Non- Government Organizations (NGO)
Sister Society: TAMT (Taiwan Association of Magnetic Technology)
We held 2018 Taiwan Association Magnetic Technology Annual Meeting for magnetism and summer school for on July 9th-11th, 2018. The goals of the meeting are to let researchers and students to understand different research aspects from different groups and then can create more ideas for their research. And arranged for dinner with the IEEE members of the Taiwan region and exchange talks. We invited several IEEE fellow as our invited speakers in the meeting. The invited speakers are as fallow: (1) Kang L. Wang--University of California, Los Angeles (2) Chia-Ling Chien--The Johns Hopkins University (3) H.Yoda--Toshiba Corporation & Toshiba Memory Company (4) Akio Fukushima--Spintronics Research Center, AIST (5) Yiming Huai -- Avalanche Technology (6) Ching-Ray Chang --National Taiwan University (8) Yuan-Jen Lee --Headway Technologies, Inc. TDK We held two IEEE Distinguished Lectures, last year (2018). In these two lectures, we invited Professor Mitsuteru Inoue and Professor Can-Ming Hu to give the talks. During the lectures, many IEEE members from the relative fields came. The lectures gave the participants a wonderful chance to communicate with each other. This year we will host two activities. (1) The first one is 2019 Taiwan Association Magnetic Technology Annual Meeting. The activity will be held in Pingtung, Taiwan from July 05 to 07, 2019. We will also invite some IEEE fellows or DLs to come. (2) The second one is IEEE Distinguished Lecture 2019. We will invite 2019 IEEE Distinguished Lecturer to give the talks.
C.3 Collaboration with other IEEE Sections 79
Support extended to neighboring Sections Joint activities with any other Section N/A
C.4 Support extended to Sub-sections & Society Chapters within the Section
Support extended for organising technical, educational and professional activities Joint activities for membership development Support extended for the formation of a Sub-section or transition of a Sub-section into a full Section N/A
C.5 Best Practices of Your Section (which you would like share with other sections for the benefits of members)
Section support can promote joint activities of education and other summer camps. For academic conferences, setting up a booth for membership services and providing membership promotion in academic conferences are good ways to attractive new members. In Taiwan, university professors are allowed to pay membership fees for M.S. and Ph.D. students using their research funding from the Ministry of Science and Technology. This shows positive effects for recruiting student members.
C.6 Problems anticipated and suggestions for solutions, if any
Because of economic crisis, most industry members have no budget that supported from company to join industry activity. It introduces risk in membership development and billable activity. Due to the decline in the number of PhD students, the size of our membership decreases.
PART D - GOALS AND PLANS D.1 Continuation of Project/Activity in Progress and Their Implementation Plans
