IEEE Region 5

Come join us and enjoy burgers, veggie burgers, and hot dogs. This is scheduled to coincide with the University of Arkansas "Reading Day", which is the day before Finals begin. We are hoping to coordinate tours for local lab facilities such as NCREPT, HiDEC, as well as local companies. We are also planning to have frisbees and a cornhole setup. [] Bldg: NCREPT, 2055 S.

Hybrid Event Details Are you involved with Computer Game Development? Do you know of staff or students at academic institutions who are? If so, please share this information on this event with them so they can attend this year's Competition. The top 10 of this year's entries of the games' first stage submitted will compete and be judged by professionals from the Computer Game Development industry. Building on the success of last year's competition, this year's is also being held in a Hybrid format! We'll be in-person at Chapman University, and virtually via Twitch (while the teams present to the judges via Discord). The IEEE GameSIG Intercollegiate Game Competition, now in its fourteenth year, is an educational outreach project of IEEE GameSIG (which is part of the Orange County IEEE Computer Society, but does not geographically limit competing teams). The purpose of this event is to help students develop and demonstrate their skills at game design, development and promotion. They are challenged to show off a playable level of a game, live, in front of an audience of experienced game industry personnel and guests (which we are hoping you will join). The Computer Society Publication Office produced a 9 minute Youtube video about a previous live Competition/Showcase which is available at (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bjJW7foOBA) The competition typically attracts 30 to 50 entries, from which the top ten are chosen to present their work to the "live" audience and judges. Three primary awards are given, plus a series of special awards for unique achievements. These special awards are different each year based on the nature of what the developers are showing. Their is also a People's Choice Award voted on by those attending in person or virtually. More details on the competition can be found at (https://gamesigshowcase.org/) This year's showcase will be hosted from the University of California, Irvine, in Irvine CA, and held Online via Twitch. The Twitch stream will start at 1:00 PM (PT) and end by 5:30 PM (PT).Registered individuals will receive reminders about the Showcase as we get closer to the event, with the Twitch link provided via (https://gamesigshowcase.org/) The Twitch stream will be public. This year, IEEE GameSIG and IGDA- Los Angeles joining forces to bring you really cool prizes and the best set of judges ever at our GameSIG Showcase 2025 event. 1st/2nd/3rd prize winners will receive FREE IGDA Memberships!

Diversity coding is a form of network coding for link failure recovery in communication networks. Since it employs coding, there is no feedback signaling, and that feature makes it very fast. One approach, Diversity Coding Tree, employs mixed integer programming and results in very fast restoration. Another approach is called Coded Path Protection and employs integer linear programming and has the advantage of small extra capacity. This latter technique is based on former work that considers a communication network as consisting of bidirectional links. This technique employs a mixed integer linear programming formulation and results in restoration times as fast as Diversity Coding Tree with reduced extra capacity.

Agentic AI represents a groundbreaking shift in artificial intelligence, enabling systems to act autonomously, make decisions, and achieve goals with minimal human intervention. This talk explores the concept of Agentic AI, its various types, adoption trends, and the transformative impact it is poised to have on industries and societies. From reshaping workflows to influencing ethical frameworks, we’ll examine how this emerging technology drives innovation and redefines humanity’s relationship with intelligent systems.
