IES Electrical, Electronics and Computer Engineering Technical Committee (EECETC) and Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) proudly present: "Efficient Development for Robust Systems Using Virtual Prototypes and Multi-Level Processors Models".

Robustness and reliability of Integrated Circuits (ICs) is essential for many important applications of ICs such as automotive or industrial control. At the same time, pressures on time to market and cost keep increasing. System-level design methodologies are therefore increasingly being utilized. Virtual Prototypes are valuable for fast system simulation, also allowing for concurrent development of hardware (HW) and Firmware / Software (FW/SW). Fault injection is an essential technique to verify integrated systems.In this Talk, Professor Dr.-Ing. Ulf Schlichtmann will describe the basic concept of Virtual Prototypes. Professor Schlichtmann will discuss how multi-level processor models enable an efficient combination of accuracy and performance in fault injection. Fault injection can also be extended to FW/SW in addition to HW. Cross-layer techniques are valuable in evaluating the robustness of complex integrated systems.The research described in this talk has mostly been developed in the context of large-scale public funded research projects in Germany, related to both industry 4.0 and automotive industry.

bizSAFE is a five-level programme devised by the WSH Council (WSHC) to assist companies build up their WSH capabilities in order to achieve quantum improvements in safety and health standards at their workplaces. Companies are guided through a journey, starting from top management demonstrating their commitment towards WSH, to acquiring risk management capabilities and implementing a WSH Management System. In the process, participating Companies gain recognition and benefits of having a comprehensive WSH system in place. In the bizSAFE learning journey, this Level 4 course is meant for individuals who are appointed as WSH Management System Programme Lead and responsible for implementing WSH Management System in accordance with the requirements of Singapore Standard on Occupational Safety and Health Management System SS 506. This course has been accredited by the SSG.

Development projects are increasingly demanding as the clients becomes more sophisticated and requires their project to be built with better productivity and sustainability. At the same time, over the years there has being a gradual accumulation of practical experience around the world on specific methods of construction like prefabricated-prefinished volumetric construction (PPVC) and materials like self-compacting concrete (SCC) and cross laminated timber (CLT).

The Building Information Modelling (BIM) is certainly changing the way project teams work and is taking the construction industry into a new era of quicker and more productive processes, higher cost certainty with a reduction of risks. With a mandatory phased BIM submission by 2015, the need for quantity surveyors to embrace and evolve with BIM is inevitable and crucial to improve cost performance with certainty on increasingly complex projects worldwide.

IES EECETC and SUTD proudly present, and supported by Singapore Medical Association (SMA) --- The new era of healthcare ushered in by wide adoption of intelligent technologies has been rapidly changing. Artificial intelligence, smart sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) are among the most active and emerging trends in revolutionizing traditional healthcare systems. Technologies such as high performance processors and wearable body sensor networks have enabled us to turn dreams into reality.We are witnessing how advances in technologies are being leveraged by the healthcare sector to create smart health systems, and by the government to foster the deployment of smart city. This Talk aims to bring the audience the latest development in smart health where emerging technologies are adopted and implemented.Several studies conducted in Singapore General Hospital will be showcased, for example, cardiovascular risk stratification using intelligent wearable system for ECG analysis and processing. Further, challenges and opportunities in hardware innovation in the era of smart health will be discussed.

The seminar serves to provide a platform for QPs and industry stakeholders to: (a) be updated on new regulatory requirements that are in the pipeline; (b) gather insights into non-compliances of recent projects based on BCA Building Plan and Management Groups observation; and (c) seek clarification on requirements, and provide feedback to BCA to fine-tune regulatory requirements.

Together Shaping Singapore's Future of Mobility: The rising of the Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV) is part of the bigger plan to increase connectivity in our multi-modal transportation system and to improve the safety and efficiency of road travel. It will revolutionize the way commuters use vehicles and operators provide services. It will also transform the environment in which it operates. It does come with challenges such as creating a robust IT infrastructure to process and protect the huge volume of data.

Jointly-organised by IES EECETC and SUTD. In this Talk, research on the design and development of artificial intelligence (AI)-based systems with autonomous learning properties will be presented. Specifically, a variety of AI-based learning methodologies, which include neural networks, fuzzy systems, and evolutionary algorithms, for data modelling, inference with human linguistic knowledge, and multi-objective optimisation, will be explained.

Good contract administration is required to manage design specification, contractual agreement, competitive tendering, evaluation, cost control, variations, final accounts, claims and even disputes, this will eventually helps to reduce construction costs.A building project, whether under design build contract or conventional contract type, has to undergo three specific stages namely, design, tender and construction. In all three stages, good contract administration is required to manage design specification, contractual agreement, competitive tendering, evaluation, cost control, variations, final accounts, claims and even disputes. Poor management in any of these aspects would lead to unnecessary claims and disputes and eventually higher construction costs.

It is a mandatory WSH training course for all workers working in the construction industry. Construction workers are required to attend and pass the course before they start work at the worksite. At the end of the course, the trainees should be able to recognize safety hazards at construction sites, explain preventive measures to be adopted, practice safety measures when working at heights, follow safety signs and observe safe work procedures. The course also aims to educate trainees on their rights and responsibilities as construction workers in Singapore.
