Aviation Safety Management Systems ASMS 24-4Mon, Apr 08, 2024 @ 08:00 AM - 04:00 PM
Aviation Safety and Security Program
University Calendar
A Safety Management System (SMS) is now required for international commercial aircraft operators, airports, and air traffic services. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) established the standards and implementing procedures for SMS. All 191 countries that are members of ICAO have established or are establishing regulatory requirements for the implementation of SMS. This course teaches how organizations can establish an SMS within the context of their current safety system that meets the basic international standards of ICAO. The SMS Framework serves as a central foundation for this course.
SMS is a safety system by which an organization takes a more active role in identifying, analyzing, and mitigating safety issues that occur in the normal operation of their organization. SMS requires that organizational management take responsibility for the company’s safety program. The SMS approach requires the safety/quality team to be educated in their duties and responsibilities. This course will give you the essential skills to manage an organizational Safety Management System (SMS). The attendee will be able to manage a Safety Management System that includes risk management, audits, data collection, analysis, and incident investigations.
This course is designed for the individual planning or directing an aviation Safety Management System program. Fundamentals in systems organization and structure provide the individual with the skills and methodology to plan and manage an effective program. Emphasis is placed on understanding the principles of risk management, identifying program development strategies, audits, and applying the knowledge toward effective management systems and interoperability with Quality Assurance.Location: Online

Artificial Intelligence System Safety AISYS 24-2
Mon, Apr 08, 2024 @ 08:00 AM - 04:00 PM
Aviation Safety and Security Program
University Calendar
Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and autonomous systems have become pervasive in software applications. However, the implications for AI safety have created new concerns and risk factors, especially for autonomous vehicles. This course thoroughly surveys AI, machine learning, optimization, and autonomous vehicle techniques, followed by safety and hazard analysis methods. Along the way, we will bring clarity to definitions, actual capabilities of AI systems, and the current state of data science. Case studies and real-world incidents will also provide learnings and insights to advance the goal of AI safety.

CS Colloquium: Xuhai Orson Xu - How Do We Get There?: Toward Intelligent Behavior Intervention
Mon, Apr 08, 2024 @ 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Xuhai Orson Xu, MIT
Talk Title: How Do We Get There?: Toward Intelligent Behavior Intervention
Abstract: As the intelligence of everyday smart devices continues to evolve, they can already monitor basic health behaviors such as physical activities and heart rates. The vision of an intelligent behavior change intervention pipeline for health -- combining behavior modeling & interaction design -- seems to be within reach. How do we get there?In this talk, I will introduce a comprehensive intervention pipeline that bridges behavior science theory-driven designs and generalizable behavior models. I will also introduce my efforts on passive sensing datasets, human-centered algorithms, and a benchmark platform that drives the community toward more robust and deployable intervention systems for health and well-being. This lecture satisfies requirements for CSCI 591: Research Colloquium
Biography: Xuhai "Orson" Xu is a postdoc at MIT EECS. He received his PhD at the University of Washington. Specializing in human-computer interaction, applied machine learning, and health, Xu develops intelligent behavior intervention systems to promote human health and well-being. His research covers two aspects -- 1) building deployable human-centered behavior models and 2) designing interactive user experiences -- to establish a complete system to improve end-users' well-being. Moreover, his research also goes beyond end-users and supports health experts by designing new human-AI collaboration paradigms in clinical settings. Xu has earned several awards, including 9 Best Paper, Best Paper Honorable Mention, and Best Artifact awards. His research has been covered by media outlets such as the Washington Post and ACM News. He was recognized as the Outstanding Student Award Winner at UbiComp 2022, the 2023 UW Distinguished Dissertation Award, and the 2024 Innovation and Technology Award at the Western Association of Graduate Schools.
