Six Sigma Black BeltFri, Oct 29, 2010 @ 09:00 AM - 05:00 PM
Executive Education
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: TBA, TBA
Talk Title: Six Sigma Black Belt
Abstract: Learn the advanced problem-solving skills you need to implement the principles, practices and techniques of Six Sigma to maximize performance and cost reductions in your organization. During this three-week practitioner course, you will learn how to measure a process, analyze the results, develop process improvements and quantify the resulting savings. You will be required to complete a project demonstrating mastery of appropriate analytical methods and pass an examination to earn IIEâs Six Sigma Black Belt Certificate.This practitioner course for Six Sigma implementation provides extensive coverage of the Six Sigma process as well as intensive exposure to the key analytical tools associated with Six Sigma, including project management, team skills, cost analysis, FMEA, basic statistics, inferential statistics, sampling, goodness of fit testing, regression and correlation analysis, reliability, design of experiments, statistical process control, measurement systems analysis and simulation. Computer applications are emphasized.

Automatic Modulation Classification
Fri, Oct 29, 2010 @ 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Professor A. K. Nandi, The University of Liverpool, Liverpool, United Kingdom
Talk Title: Automatic Modulation Classification
Abstract: Automatic modulation classification (AMC) attempts to determine the modulation of a received radio signal in the baseband. This has civil and military as well as covert and overt applications. For example, AMC is an essential part of a software defined radio (SDR) system. There has been a long tradition of various research directions in AMC. Most of the methods fall into two approaches. One is called decision theoretic; the maximum likelihood is one such approach when one knows the underlying probability density distribution. It can also be regarded as a classification problem and machine-learning methods can be adapted as long as one discovers some useful features. In this seminar I shall present the nature of the problem, offer some existing ways to explore it, and review some of the results obtained so far. It is still a topic of current interest.
Biography: Professor Asoke K. Nandi received the degree of Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge (Trinity College), Cambridge, U.K., in 1979. Since March 1999 he has been at the University of Liverpool and holds the David Jardine Chair of Signal Processing. Currently, he is interested in the areas of machine learning for signal processing, evolutionary algorithms, signal classification, bio-medical signal processing, and communications research. He has authored or co-authored over 400 technical publications, including two books and over 170 journal papers. Professor Nandi is a Fellow of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, the Institution of Engineering and Technology, the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, the Institute of Physics, the Royal Society for Arts, and the British Computer Society.
