Bayoumi (University of Louisiana at Lafayette  ) 25 July 2019, (Thursday) Time: 10 – 11am   Venue: Meeting Room B1 (S1-B1b-66)  　 　 Abstract: The integration of physical systems with networked sensing, computation networks, and embedded control with actuation has led to the emergence of a new generation of engineered systems, the Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). Such systems emphasize the link between cyber space and physical environment

The IEEE Council on RFID once again challenges undergraduate engineering students to team up to offer a Smart Cities problem and solution. The competition, introduced in 2017, draws proposals from around the world. After the finalists are selected, they each present a 3-minute video, followed by a live presentation at the IEEE RFID 2019 Conference in Phoenix, Arizona. Challengers are at their best answering tough questions in real-time from the judges from RAIN RFID Alliance, AIM Global, and RFID Journal Live! representatives. The finalists received a trophy for their school, certificates for each team member, and split $5,000 student travel grants donated by RAIN and IEEE CRFID. If you are
