ePIXfab workshop: opportunities and challenges

ePIXfab workshop - Fabless start-ups developing PIC-based products: opportunities and challenges

Online at ECOC 2020
on December 6 at 1.30 PM (Central European Time)

Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) have stamped their presence in the optical transceiver market through the launch of various transceiver products by key players of that market. In the last few years, many fabless startups are leading an equally impressive entry of PICs into new markets to offer solutions for sensing, medical diagnostics, LiDAR, 5G, artificial intelligence, and many other applications. PIC technologies and associated services are gaining maturity at an unprecedented pace. This rapidly consolidating ecosystem can fulfill the demands of fabless companies operating in new markets. 

 

 

Aim of workshop

  • Present how various startups develop innovative products in various new markets based on PICs
  • Address outstanding challenges faced by fabless companies with respect to the capabilities of the PIC ecosystem

[C4P] e-Engineering 2021 Conference


 
 
 
 
 
 
 

THE WORLD'S PREMIER FORUM DEDICATED TO PRESENTING AND DISCUSSING E-ENGINEERING COURSES e-ENGINEERING'2021 

INTERNATIONAL e-ENGINEERING EDUCATION SERVICES CONFERENCE

22 -23 JUNE, 2021 

WADI MUSA (PETRA), JORDAN 

(The conference may follow a hybrid or fully online model depending on the pandemic evolution) 

Conference website: https://e-engineering.org/ With the technical co-sponsorship support of the IEEE Education Society and the IEEE Jordan Section. 

KEY DATES:
  • Submission deadline: January 10, 2021
  • Notification of acceptance: March 1, 2021
  • Camera-ready manuscript: April 5, 2021

PAPER SUBMISSION: https://e-engineering.org/ 

The INTERNATIONAL e-ENGINEERING EDUCATION SERVICES CONFERENCE (e-ENGINEERING'2021) is the world's premier forum dedicated to presenting and discussing e-Engineering courses implementation. The goal is to exchange ideas and best practices in all aspects related to the set up of e-Engineering courses, with a focus on undergraduate and graduate courses as well as vocational and lifelong learning training. The conference seeks to disseminate the concept of e-Engineering, and the responses it brings to the continuous need for enlarging and improving engineering education in a rapidly changing world. e-ENGINEERING 2021 will take place in Wadi Musa, near the ancient archaeological site of Petra, Jordan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it is organised by the Tafila Technical University (TTU). You are invited to participate and submit your contributions to e-ENGINEERING 2021. 

The areas of interest include (but are not limited to) the following e-Engineering topics:

** Implementation strategies
* Curriculum building
* Course organization
* Learning platforms
* Learning strategies
* Learning scenarios

** Pedagogical aspects
* Pedagogical innovations
* Gamification strategies
* e-Lecturing and e-Tutoring
* Students assessment and e-Rubric

** Remote experimentation
* Simulation tools
* Virtual laboratories
* Virtual instrumentation interfaces
* Remote laboratories
* Remote robotic laboratories
* Remote experiments interfaces
* Scheduling access to remote experiments
* Security issues

** Organizational aspects
* Teachers training
* Technicians training
* Financial models
* Teachers payment
* Quality assessment
* Accreditation processes
* Legal aspects 

** Course examples
* Successful implementations of e-Engineering courses

** Any other aspects related to e-Engineering courses

Publications: The official language of the Conference is English. 

All papers will be double-blind peer-reviewed by, at least, three reviewers based on full paper submission. e-ENGINEERING 2021 will produce formal electronic Proceedings, which will include all accepted scientific papers, with ISBN to be submitted to possible indexation in the IEEEXplore Digital Library and other bibliographical search engines. No show papers will be excluded from indexation. For inclusion in the formal Proceedings, papers accepted for oral presentation require a final 6 to 8 pages manuscript, while papers accepted for poster presentation require a final 2 to 4 pages manuscript. Best Paper Award: The e-ENGINEERING 2021 Best Paper Award will be announced during the closing session.

FOSDEM website:
FOSDEM Code of Conduct:

We hope you'll join us for a full day of talks, demos and interesting discussions on designing, modeling and testing hardware using Open Source tools. This year's event will be fully virtual and will feature multiple channels for talks, Q&A as well as hallway discussions.

We welcome any talk proposals about the creation of physical objects.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Open Hardware projects
- Circuit Design
    * Printed circuit board design tools
    * Circuit simulation
- 3d modeling and analysis
    * Solid modeling tools
    * Meshing, modeling and transforming physical representations
    * Finite element analysis
- 3d printing
    * 3d slicing tools
    * Motor control
- Machine design and integration
    * ECAD/MCAD integration
    * Thermal analysis
    * Wire modeling
- Physical Model Data storage
    * Data representation and optimization
    * Version control in hardware data storage
    * Collaborative and team-based hardware design techniques

Slots will be allocated for short (20 minutes) and long (40 minutes) talks. Speakers need to specify their preferred format. Both include time for questions and answers. Depending on the number of submissions, submitters may be asked to utilize an alternate time format.

The submission process
Please submit your proposals at
https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM21

If you already have a Pentabarf account (for example as a result of having submitted a proposal in the past), make sure you use it to log in and submit your proposal. Do not create a new account if you already have one.

Please include the following information with your submission:
- Abstract
- Preferred Session length
- Speaker bio
- Link to any hardware / code /slides for the talk

When you submit your proposal (creating an "Event" in Pentabarf), make sure you choose the "Open Source Computer Aided Modeling and Design" in the track drop-down menu. Otherwise, your proposal may go unnoticed. Fill in at least a title and abstract for the proposed talk and a suggested duration. Keep in mind that much of the value in these meetings comes from the discussions, so please allot at least 20% of the talk time for questions and answers.

Important dates
- Call for papers available: 2 December 2020
- Call for participation closes: 20 December 2020
- Devroom schedule available: 24 December 2020
- Talk recording uploads due: no later then 14 January 2020
- Devroom day: Sunday 7 February 2021 (09:00 to 17:00)
Recordings
Because this year's conference will be fully virtual, all talks must be pre-recorded.  These will be verified for sound and video quality prior to the conference.

Each accepted talk will have a dedicated chaperone to help you through the process of recording, encoding and uploading your talk.

The recordings will be published under the same license as all FOSDEM
content (CC-BY).
