From autonomous vehicles to hybrid cloud and mainframe systems, Reliability, Availability and Serviceability (RAS) is fast becoming a first-class consideration alongside performance and energy-optimal execution in the design and functioning of the constituent processors. This has resulted in an increased push towards Efficient Resilience as the predominant design paradigm for these processors.
For AI-powered systems to be truly successful in practical and everyday scenarios, it is not just enough for these systems to generate optimized decisions, but they need to be capable of working and collaborating with users from all walks of life. One major requirement for developing such systems is the need to imbue them with the ability to effectively model the expectations of their users, and to be capable of explaining their decisions and the rationale behind them in intuitive terms when such expectations cannot be met.

A tour of January night skies, followed by the fulldome planetarium production “From Earth to the Universe.”
This 30-minute voyage through time and space conveys, through an arresting combination of sights and sounds, the Universe revealed to us by science. The show was produced for the ESO Supernova Planetarium and Visitor Centre.
This Faculty Artist Series performance will feature collaborations with WSU Music Faculty and students. The first half will feature a newer work for euphonium, piano, and percussion by Welsh composer Tom Davoren followed by a lovely euphonium and marimba duet by British composer Hannah Drage. The second half…
Attack surfaces are defects in software and hardware that can be misused by attackers to do undesired computations (e.g., steal credentials, leak private user data, and take control over the whole system). Previous efforts on mitigating attack surfaces aim at individual security incidents. As a consequence, software systems are integrated with too many ad-hoc protections while still not becoming secure
In this presentation, nanocoatings with three distinct microstructures inspired by nature will be discussed. In the first part, organic/inorganic hybrid nanocoatings with a nacre-like microstructure generated via a facile co-assembly process will be presented.
AIAS will be hosting an event with guest speaker, Amy Perenchio, who will be discussing about ‘Life After Architecture School’.
The Washington State University student chapter of the American Association of Equine Practitioners is hosting the 9th Annual Horse Course, a public event for horse owners and enthusiasts.
The classic machine learning (ML) paradigm involves algorithms that learn from centralized data, possibly pooled together from multiple data sources. The computations involved may be done on a single machine or farmed out to a cluster of machines but are inherently restricted within the availability of in-house resources. As a result, such algorithms often fail to utilize the computation and communication capability of their entire ecosystem to support their ever-growing scales.

Follow the journey of a single photon as it is produced in a distant star, before travelling across the vast expanse of space to land on someone’s retina. This fulldome planetarium show explores some of the fascinating processes of the cosmos, from astrophysics to the biology of the eye and brain. Funded through a generous grant from ZEISS, the show is narrated by astronomer and science communicator, Neil deGrasse Tyson.
There is no doubt that robots will play a crucial role in the future and need to work as a team in increasingly more complex applications. Advances in robotics have laid the hardware foundations for building large-scale multi-robot systems, such as for mobile robots and drones. But how to coordinate robots intelligently is a difficult problem.
