Aviation Safety Management Systems ASMS 24-4Mon, Apr 15, 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

Data for Safety Management DATA 24-2
Mon, Apr 15, 2024 @ 08:00 AM - 04:00 PM
Aviation Safety and Security Program
University Calendar
The analysis of digital flight data collected from actual flights has resulted in tremendous steps forward in aviation safety. It is no longer necessary for an accident or incident to occur in order for safety hazards to be revealed. Flight Data Analysis provides critical safety information to identify trends, issues, and potentially dangerous practices. All modern commercial and business jet aircraft are equipped with flight data recorders that serve as the initial collection devices for flight data analysis. This course will present the basics of flight data analysis based on real-time flight information. It will present opportunities to analyze collective flight data as would be utilized by a commercial aircraft operator. The course will present animation software that depicts flight profiles and examines other sources of data, including video and air traffic control data, that may be used to create a data-based safety case.

ECE Seminar: Computational Imaging with Photon Streams
Mon, Apr 15, 2024 @ 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Sotiris Nousias, Postdoctoral Fellow | Department of Computer Science | University of Toronto
Talk Title: Computational Imaging with Photon Streams
Abstract: Among the yearly iterations on smartphone cameras and advances in sensor design, a key question emerges: what does the future's ultimate camera look like? In this presentation, I will explore the advanced capabilities of single-photon cameras, which have evolved from specialized scientific tools to being integral components in consumer devices like the iPhone. These cameras are not just sensitive; they are exceptionally precise, capable of detecting individual photons and their arrival times to the trillionth of a second. Traditionally, research in this field has focused on simple methods like counting or creating histograms of photons. My work, however, focuses on the raw 'photon stream' output – a sequence of photon arrival times that offers a rich, yet underexplored, source of data. By developing innovative mathematical models and algorithms, I open up exciting new possibilities, such as capturing high-speed videos at standard (30 Hz) and extremely high frame rates (>200 GHz), unveiling hidden 3D structures using multiply scattered light, and achieving micrometer-scale 3D imaging. I will discuss the remarkable capabilities of single-photon cameras and their potential to revolutionize various fields.
Biography: Sotiris Nousias is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto, advised by Kyros Kutulakos. His research interests lie in the fields of computational imaging, computer vision, and signal processing, with a focus on single-photon imaging. His aim is to push the boundaries of imaging, developing novel systems and algorithms that can reveal the world in entirely new ways. He earned his PhD from University College London, advised by Christos Bergeles. His research has been recognized with best paper awards at two of the leading computer vision conferences: CVPR in 2019 and ICCV in 2023.

ECE-S Seminar - Dr. Zili Meng
Mon, Apr 15, 2024 @ 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM

Talk Title: Transport Layer Innovations in Ultra-Low Latency Video Streaming
Abstract: In the post-pandemic era, ultra-low latency video streaming is increasingly popular nowadays. Numerous applications like videoconferencing, cloud gaming, virtual reality, remote driving are coming or have come to our daily life. However, these interactive video streaming applications require ultra-low and consistent latency to ensure the interactive experience, which challenges how the sender is transmitting packets and reacting to fluctuations nowadays.
My research rethinks the latency in interactive video streaming in an end-to-end way and tries to share some preliminary thoughts on what the network and related communities should do to enable the wide deployment of these applications. In this talk, I will present our work on how to achieve a consistent low latency for interactive video streaming. Specifically, I will talk about how we control the tail latency on the transport layer from the perspective of congestion control (Zhuge, SIGCOMM'22) and loss recovery (Hairpin, NSDI'24).
Biography: Zili Meng is an assistant professor at HKUST. He received his B.Eng. (Hons) and Ph.D. (Hons) from Tsinghua University. His current research interest focuses on ultra-low latency interactive streaming from all layers. He is the recipient of the Doctoral Dissertation Awards from ACM China and China Institute of Electronics. a Microsoft PhD Fellowship (Asia), the Gold Medal of SIGCOMM 2018 SRC, and some best paper awards. His research has been used in many industry companies.
