Effort Delay and Appropriate Optimizing Techniques
Accurate delay estimation and design of delay equalizers have of late become important in low-power, low-voltage processor design, optimization, multicore processors and signal processing applications such as delay equalized chains, wave pipe-lining, velocity selective recording of ENG and other biomedical signals. This is further significant because still most of the chain-of-delay blocks in analogue, mixed-mode and biomedical systems are pre-processed by manual designing prior to computerized/ digital post processing.
A chain of logic gates can be cleverly designed to realize delay accurately. Likewise optimum delay in circuits is observed to be realizable by appropriate selection of the topology and the device dimensions. The present endeavor is to analyze different types of delays – both topology dependent and topology independent and suggest optimum design methodology in a systematic study. The tutorial proposes to cover a wide range of circuit design examples where a systematic method can be used (instead of trial-and-error) to arrive at the best topology and transistor dimensions for optimum delay. The delay chain with branching shall also be taken into account through examples and the best topology and dimension for delay-optimization for network with branching shall also be proposed.
The topic and coverage has its genesis in the pioneering work on logical effort, electrical effort and branching effort in estimating effort delay by Ivan Sutherland et al, brought out in “Logical Effort: Designing Fast CMOS Circuits” Morgan-Kaufmann Publishers and studies by subsequent authors to this end. However appropriate circuit examples and techniques for solving design exercise with exceptions therein have been added to enrich the theory.
The tutorial shall be ideally targeting young researchers working on circuits for low power, low voltage processor, digital-core, mixed-mode, analogue and biomedical system designers. The participants need to have a background of digital electronics and digital VLSI design which is usually done in the first degree level in most universities of Asia, Australia, Europe and North America.

Post Disaster Situation Analysis using Delay Tolerant Network
The occurrence of catastrophic natural disaster disrupts all communication system, and it takes a lot of time to recover from that scenario. The scenario is more challenging in developing countries where very small population of people possesses smart expensive gadgets. This inspires us to work on exploring low-cost solutions for post-disaster crisis management. The proposed half-day tutorial will give a snapshot of the works undergoing towards conceptualization and implementation of such solutions for post disaster situation analysis and services.
Objectives and Motivation Modern days communication systems have been very popular in providing day-to-day services in our
life, but history has shown that in the event of disasters like Ayla in India, Katrina in USA, earthquake in Nepal and tsunami in Japan can severely impair all forms of communication, thus jeopardizing people’s lives. Alternatively, the occurrence of catastrophic natural disaster disrupts all communication system, and it takes a lot of time to recover from that scenario. The scenario is more challenging in developing countries where very small population of people possesses smart expensive gadgets.
Therefore, systematizing such chaotic situation through a series of cost effective technical innovations
in the area of wireless networking and its application is need of the day especially in developing country like India.
In view of the fact that people especially in disaster-prone area in India can’t afford to use smart and costly electronic gadget (e.g. water sensor that could differentiate between fresh, polluted and hazardous water used. in post-tsunami Japan), we have been motivated to work on exploring low-cost
solution for post-disaster crisis management. The proposed tutorial will give a snapshot of the works undergoing towards conceptualization and implementation of such solutions for post disaster situation analysis.

QoS and Design Challenges in Wireless Sensor Communications Networks
Now-a-days Wireless Sensor Networks plays predominant role in the communication domain. The data to be disseminated from multiple sources to the destination base station or sink is having vital significance. There are many problems with which data can be conveyed up to the sink. The congestion, reliability, delay, fairness, etc. are of main concern. These can be treated as Quality of Service parameters that govern the performance of the WSN. Above all the Energy s consumption is the main constrain for WSN node. It is very difficult to obtain good QoS by keeping energy consumption low. Even if response of one of QoS parameter will depends on the many other QoS parameters. We have to take care of all QoS parameters to improve the performance of the wireless sensor networks. This Quality of Services may improve the application base of the WSN. With the QoS parameters the data dissemination along with energy optimization is get affected. We have to check the performance of the WSN against the QoS metrics for different data inputs. This may contain the periodic- non periodic data, event based data, transient or burst data. For all these different types of inputs data we are checking the performance of QoS parameters like congestion, reliability and fairness. This may lead to new researcher to verify their results and excel their research work accordingly.

Social Value Engineering
Much attention has been focused on the collective intelligence of people worldwide. Interest continues to increase in online democratic discussions, which might become one of the next generation methods for open and public forums. To harness collective intelligence, incentives for participants are one critical factor. If we can incentivize participants to engage in stimulating and active discussions, the entire discussion will head in fruitful ways and avoid negative behaviors that encourage “flaming.” “Flaming” means a hostile and insulting interaction by Wikipedia. In our work, we developed an open web-based forum system called COLLAGREE that has facilitator support functions and deployed it for an internet-based town meeting in Nagoya as a city project for an actual town meeting of the Nagoya Next Generation Total City Planning for 2014-2018. Our experiment ran on the COLLAGREE system during a two-week period with nine expert facilitators from the Facilitators Association of Japan. The participants discussed four categories about their views of an ideal city. COLLAGREE registered 266 participants from whom it gathered 1,151 opinions, 3,072 visits, and 18,466 views. The total of 1,151 opinions greatly exceeded the 463 opinions obtained by previous real-world town meetings. We clarified the importance of a COLLAGREE-type internet based town meeting and a facilitator role, which is one mechanism that can manage inflammatory language and encourage positive discussions. While facilitators, who are one element of a hierarchical management, can be seen as a top-down approach to produce collective discussions, incentive can be seen as a bottom-up approach. In this talk, we also focus on incentives for participants and employ both incentives and facilitators to harness collective intelligence. I propose an incentive mechanism for large-scale collective discussions, where the discussion activities of each participant are rewarded based on their effectiveness. With these incentives, we encourage both the active and passive actions of participants. In this talk, I will present preliminary results with a large scale experiment with the Aichi-Prefecture local government in Japan.

Intelligence at the Edge: Using Fog Computing to Deliver Consumer Centric IoT Services
Internet of Things (IoT) is extending the Internet connection to physical things making them part of a
much larger platform, thereby requiring high computational capabilities for M2M data processing
and storage systems. Such demands will be generated by both fixed and mobile things covering a
wide geographic area and pertaining to heterogeneous domains and use cases. To meet these
demands, IoT platforms must have low latency, support for high degree of mobility and real time
data analysis with decision making abilities. From these requirements, cloud computing platform
may seem as the normal choice to deploy an IoT platform. Although the cloud platform provides
many benefits but also creates many challenges for latency sensitive and consumer centric IoT
services. For example, connected vehicle and intelligent transportation system services require low
latency as well as support for high mobility, real time data analytics and wide range of geographic
coverage. Fog computing can prove to be beneficial in these scenarios. Fog computing is a new
paradigm that extends the capabilities of cloud platform to the edge of the networks. Both
paradigms provide similar set services in terms of data storage, computation etc. But the “Fog” has
additional advantage due to its proximity to consumers, dense geographic coverage and mobility
support. Utilizing the Fog computing platforms, IoT applications and services could be operated from
intelligent end devices (e.g. access points, set top boxes, Road Side Units and M2M gateways) sitting
at the edge of the networks. This creates enormous intelligence at the edge and in turn reduces
latency, improves QoS and allows real time data analysis with actuation resulting in superior user
experience and creation of consumer centric IoT services. Additionally, Fog computing saves
bandwidth as data are process at the edge of network, promotes distributed architecture. Due to
dense geographic coverage and distributed operations, “Fog” promotes fault tolerance, reliability
and maintains scalability of the system.
The tutorial will cover architectural issues, network challenges, service enablement and service
management for Fog Computing driven consumer centric IoT. It will also discuss underlying
technologies for Fog enablement, prototyping experiences and activities in various standard
development organizations. These aspects are highly related to the theme of IEEE Globecom 2016.
Thus, the tutorial will augment the knowledge of the audience and foster a great discussion with
them as well as exchanging ideas and share new findings. The outline of the tutorial consists of
topics which are considered as hot topics for both academia and industry. The tutorial scope is also
timely. The tutorial is expected to attract a large audience comprising of academia, industry,
engineers, standard developers and other stakeholders in IoT and Fog Computing.

Harnessing Disruptive Innovations Dynamics: Dirac-Solow-Swan Model Approach
Harnessing disruptive innovations dynamics is theoretically presented based on Dirac-Solow-Swan model. The quantum view leads into the conclusion that hyperfine splitting of capital is occurred due to the disruption and as a consequence is the excitation of capital and labour from the old into the new industry of disruption. The bifurcation of capital dynamics occurs due to Christensen effect, after market symmetry breaking. It is shown that harnessing disruptive innovations relies on controlling expansion factor of capital accumulation on mainstream market. The implementation of the proposal in the recent issues will be discussed.
Topics and coverage on the two folds:
1. Strategic and policy: Recent Indonesian government policy, Indonesian economic forecasting, and the future of innovation in Indonesia.
2. Theoretical foundations: Mathematical model of disruptive innovations such as Dirac equation, Solow-Swan model, and Dirac Bracket.
