Please convey my warm regards to all the ‘youngsters’ in the chapter." - Aaron Dermarderosian - "I hope this finds you well! When possible and available virtually, I continue to try and attend the Boston Reliability chapter meetings as we definitely have one of the most active chapters in the US! Thanks for the invite, I am planning to attend this year virtually and am looking forward to the talk and seeing others again at the year-end event! If I recall, Charlie Recchia or possibly someone else on the AdCom knew of this program as they would share those facilities for modeling & testing single event upsets for computer systems at high altitude". - Officer Election – Open October 30 / Close December 4 - Communication from Mehdi Si Moussa (simoussa@ieee.org), vice chair of the Worcester County section and Chair of the Microwave Chapter regarding hosting meetings. - Add the Worcester Reliability Chapter to the Boston/Providence/RI Reliability Chapter? - Policy Proposal Discussion - Should we create a chapter policy document, for example to contain the meeting voluntary illness self-reporting notification? - Proposed new policy: "We agree that as Officers and volunteers of the Joint IEEE Reliability Chapter of Boston, New Hampshire, & Providence, we will avoid any real or perceived impression that we have a political affiliation. Officers and other volunteers may take part in partisan political activities freely on their own personal time, but they must not do so in the course of their role and responsibilities for the Chapter, nor should they represent that they are acting for or on behalf of this Chapter, or give the appearance that they are representing the IEEE." - Menu and Logistics for 11-DEC-2025 Meeting - Schedule Next AdCom Meeting - TBD. - Closing Remarks - Adjournment Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/445583

Recent years have brought rapid advances in artificial intelligence technologies, expanding the capabilities of AI systems to applications in numerous new fields. At the same time, many countries around the world have experienced increasingly serious effects of climate change, in particular in the form of extreme weather events. As these two trends develop in parallel, a range of new opportunities and challenges related to AI and climate change are starting to emerge. On the one hand, AI could help mitigate the climate crisis, helping researchers find cheaper alternatives to decarbonize our economy and aid assessment of exposure to climate risks. On the other hand, the increased demand for energy due to AI data centers is impacting efforts to decarbonize our energy systems. On December 2, 2024, the Center on Regulation and Markets at Brookings and Duke University will host an event exploring these important topics at the intersection of climate change and AI. The event will feature a keynote fireside chat followed by two expert panels exploring the role of AI in climate change. Viewers can join the conversation and ask questions in advance by emailing events@brookings.edu or on X @BrookingsEcon using the hashtag #AIandClimate. This event is a part of the Center on Regulation and Markets’ series on “Reimagining Modern-day Markets and Regulations.” https://www.brookings.edu/events/leveraging-artificial-intelligence-to-tackle-climate-change/ Speaker(s): , , Agenda: Please find the agenda at this meeting site: https://www.brookings.edu/events/leveraging-artificial-intelligence-to-tackle-climate-change/ Thank You Bldg: The Brookings Institution Falk Auditorium, 1775 Massachusetts Ave NW, washington dc, District of Columbia, United States, 20036, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/447245 |

Why an equity lens is critical in the design and deployment of AI In 2023, the Center for Technology Innovation (CTI) at Brookings launched the AI Equity Lab, an interdisciplinary, cross-sector research and policy project aimed at finding solutions that lead to more inclusive artificial intelligence. Since its inception, the AI Equity Lab has engaged more than 60 distinguished experts who understand the intersection between AI and society to collaboratively assess and determine the opportunities and risks AI presents in critical areas, including education, health care, journalism, and criminal justice. On December 9, join the Center for Technology Innovation at Brookings for an event with CTI Director and AI Equity Lab co-chair Nicol Turner Lee, who will provide an update on the work of the Lab and moderate a panel of experts who will share more about their findings and discuss why the framing of equity in human-centered AI is critical to advancing more democratized and ethical models. https://www.brookings.edu/events/why-an-equity-lens-is-critical-in-the-design-and-deployment-of-ai/ Please register here and at this meeting site. This event is hosted by IEEE NH Comm/Sig Society within IEEE. It originates from Brookings Institute.

This is our year-end technical meeting and dinner honoring our past Chapter Chairs. Abstract We will begin with a brief overview of radiation effects in electronics, and their effect on reliability. Then we will cover the history of the discovery and our growing awareness of them, with special attention paid to the place of the Harvard Cyclotron Laboratory (HCL)/Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Rad Test program in that history. We will then look at what factors made HCL so prominent in the early work of understanding these effects, and why the re-purposing of equipment built at HCL for the MGH program was particularly useful in electronics reliability testing. Finally, we will finish with a few words on the future of the MGH test program. Speaker(s): Ethan Cascio Agenda: PLEASE NOTE THE NEW 5PM START TIME FOR THIS MEETING 5:00 PM Networking and light dinner 5:30 PM Technical Presentation 7:00 PM Questions and Answers 7:15 PM Informal Q&A and networking 7:30 PM Adjournment Bldg: Main Cafeteria, Lincoln Laboratory, 244 Wood St, Lexington, Massachusetts, United States, 02421, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/420285 |

Lets discuss if we can have Spatial Biology, Genetics & AI Society within IEEE. This will be a new society and will also organize conferences with IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, IEEE Computer Society, IEEE Comm/Sig Society, IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society, IEEE Robotics and Automation Society. Spatial biology is the study of the diverse cellular landscape across multiple dimensions. Spatial biology studies look at which cells are present, where they are located in tissue, their biomarker co-expression patterns, and how they organize and interact to influence the tissue microenvironment. Best regards Bldg: starbucks, 6 flagstone drive, hudson, New Hampshire, United States, 03051 |
