- Abstract:
Electromagnetics-related, antenna, RF, microwave, radar, microelectronics, wireless, and lightwave, technologies are exploding! The importance of computational electromagnetics (CEM) to these technologies can hardly be overstated. This seminar presents some advances in several major components of CEM, including (1) higher order method of moments, finite element method, ray-tracing, and hybrid techniques, (2) uncertainty quantification techniques for CEM modeling of RF and microwave devices and systems featuring a posteriori error estimation, sensitivity analysis, and intelligent model refinement based on adjoint methods, and (3) automatic surface meshing in CEM by the discrete surface Ricci flow method enabling generation of high quality meshes and adaptive iterative mesh refinement. The seminar also shows how these methodologies and techniques can be effectively applied to solving general real-world problems with impacts on wireless communication, medicine, and meteorology. The applications include (A) smart underground mining with an integrated wireless cyber-physical framework using CEM modeling and measurements of wireless propagation in underground mines, (B) design of RF coils for next-generation high and ultra-high field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners based on CEM and MRI experiments, and (C) accurate characterization of winter precipitation using multi-angle snowflake camera, visual hull image processing, advanced scattering methods, and polarimetric radar.

Abstract
This short course aims to provide both theoretical and practical tools to tackle estimation problems encountered in several areas of engineering and science. In particular, it is shown how to formulate such estimation problems as instances of a general dynamical system state estimation problem and how to derive the mathematical solution of the latter problem. Then it is shown that, for a linear Gaussian system, such a solution yields the well known Kalman filter. Further, approximate techniques (e.g. extended and unscented Kalman filters, particle filter, etc.) are presented for the case of nonlinear and/or non-Gaussian systems, for which an exact closed-form solution cannot be found. To conclude the theoretical part, theoretical limitations (i.e. the Cramer-Rao lower bound) on the quality of estimation are discussed. In the second part of the course, we illustrate some applications of linear/nonlinear Kalman filtering (e.g., tracking, robotic navigation, environmental data assimilation).

(ore 14.30) “MISRA C and its key role for the compliance to
industrial safety standards”
Embedded software plays a steadily increasing role in all industrial
sectors, and in several such sectors software is responsible for
functionality impacting the overall system safety and security. As a
result an increasing number of companies and projects are required to
comply to industry safety standards (CENELEC EN 50128, ECSS-Q-ST-80C,
FDA “General Principles of Software Validation”, IEC 61508, IEC 62304,
ISO 26262, RTCA DO-178C). In this seminar we will focus on one of the
key aspects of such standards: this is the possibility to program in
subsets of standardized languages such as “C” or “C++”. Starting from
an introduction to the traps and pitfalls of the “C” programming
language, we will present MISRA C, the most authoritative subset of
“C” for the development of high-integrity systems.
(durata: 1h30’)
(ore 16.00) “The ECLAIR software verification platform: hands-on session,
with live examples”
ECLAIR is a powerful platform for the automatic analysis and verification
of C and C++ programs. In this seminar we will first highlight the
main features of ECLAIR as a platform: proper integration with the
toolchain, precise tracking of the preprocessing phase, powerful
reporting capabilities and deviation mechanisms, …
ECLAIR can be instantiated over a whole range of software verification
activities, which are provided in the form of packages. We will focus
on the following packages:
– “MISRA C:2012 + HIS Metrics”: a state-of-the-art, medium-weight
static analyzer that almost completely automates the assessment of
compliance with respect to MISRA C:2012 combined with a precise and
flexible implementation of the source code metrics defined by HIS.
– “ECLAIR Bug Finder”: a very fast static analyzer for C and C++
suitable for execution on the developer’s desktop, which is able to
detect and report bugs and weaknesses that can lead to crashes,
misbehaviors and security vulnerabilities.
In this session, we will demonstrate the use of ECLAIR on real
open-source software projects.

- Proposed teaching period: January 15-30, 2020
- CFU’s: 1 (4 hours)
Abstract
The availability of real-time high-accuracy location awareness is essential for current and future wireless applications, particularly those involving Internet-of-Things and 5G communication networks. Reliable localization and navigation of people, objects, and vehicles – Localization-of-Things – is a critical component for a diverse set of applications including connected communities, smart environments, vehicle autonomy, asset tracking, medical services, military systems, and crowd sensing. The coming years will see the emergence of network localization and navigation in challenging environments with sub-meter accuracy and minimal infrastructure requirements. We will discuss the limitations of traditional positioning, and move on to the key enablers for high-accuracy location awareness. Topics covered will include: fundamental bounds, algorithms for position inference, radar signal processing, and network experimentation. Attendees of this short course will learn about location-aware networks in two ways. On the one hand, they will get a high-level overview of fundamental performance bounds, ranging techniques, positioning algorithms, sensor radar networks, and network experimentation. On the other hand, the course will serve as an introduction to the state of the art in location inference for active and passive localization employing wideband wireless technologies. Results based on measurements collected via network experimentation employing wideband and ultra-wideband radios are used to illustrate the concepts.

Abstract
Introduction
Due to global climate change as well as economic concern of network operators, energy consumption of the infrastructure of cellular networks, or “Green Cellular Networking,” has become a popular research topic.
Particularly, the two most important reasons to pursue the development of green communications networks are the increases in carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) and in operational expenditures (OPEX). Hence, energy consumption reduction has to be dealt with in all the main activities, ICT and communications included.
While energy saving can be achieved by adopting renewable energy resources or improving design of certain hardware (e.g., power amplifier) to make it more energy-efficient, the cost of purchasing, replacing, and installing new equipment (including manpower, transportation, disruption to normal operation, as well as associated energy and direct cost) is often prohibitive. By comparison, approaches that work on the operating protocols of the system do not require changes to current network architecture, making them far less costly and easier for testing and implementation.
In this course, we first present facts and figures that highlight the importance of green mobile networking and then review existing green cellular networking research, providing general guidelines and design criteria in order to reduce power consumption, to increase the energy efficiency in cellular networks and to generalize these strategies to ICT systems. A particular focus will be on techniques that incorporate the concept of the “sleep mode” in base stations. It takes advantage of changing traffic patterns on daily or weekly basis and selectively switches some lightly loaded base stations to low energy consumption modes. As base stations are responsible for the large amount of energy consumed in cellular networks, these approaches have the potential to save a significant amount of energy.

Abstract
I circuiti memristivi, di cui sono state trovate realizzazioni fisiche solo nell’ultimo decennio, promettono interessanti benefici nelle applicazioni di analog computing. Il loro comportamento dinamico, però, è talmente ricco e variegato da renderne l’analisi particolarmente complicata. Il seminario si propone l’obiettivo di illustrare una recente tecnica di analisi in grado di ridurre, destrutturandola opportunamente, questa complessità.

- Course title: An introduction to SOS programming with applications in dynamical systems
- Specially suited for Curricula:
- Control, Optimization and Complex Systems
- Proposed teaching period: This course has been postponed to 2021
- CFU’s: 2 (8 hours)
Abstract
The minimization of a linear cost function subject to the condition that some matrix polynomials depending linearly on the decision variables are sums of squares of matrix polynomials (SOS) is known as SOS programming. This mini-course aims at providing a basic introduction of this class of optimization problems, with three main targets. The first target is to show that SOS programs can be cast into semidefinite programs (SDPs), which is a class of convex optimization problems where the cost function is linear and the constraints are linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The second target is to show how SOS programs can be used for solving optimization over polynomials. The third target is to show some applications of SOS programming in the analysis of dynamical systems.
