The global job market is being shaped by AI, and early literacy helps students make informed academic and career choices as AI becomes central to many industries. This event will demystify AI, make AI feel approachable, and build a foundation of confidence in preparation for STEM fields. The summer camp will also build awareness of AI's impact at the societal, local, and personal scales, and promote thoughtful digital citizenship. We are committed to sustaining an inclusive environment and making accommodations necessary for students to have a positive learning experience. Additional details follow:Who: The summer camp is designed for rising 8th - 10th graders. Due to lab capacity and instructor support, the summer camp will accept at most 30 students.Registration Deadline: July 18th, 2025Event Dates: July 28th - August 1st, 2025Time:8:30 - 9AM - sign-in9AM - 12noon - morning sessions12pm (noon) - 1PM - lunch1PM - 4PM - afternoon sessions Location: Most of the program will consist of classes and activities in the Information Technology and Engineering Building at the UConn Storrs Campus.Personnel: The summer camp is organized by a group of volunteers: Prof. Jinbo Bi, Prof. Derek Aguiar, and Blake Gaines. Instructors will include the organizers and their UConn undergraduate and graduate students.Pricing: The camp is offered in a pay-what-you-want modality. Practically, this means that you can pay any amount from $0 to $250 total. We do not want financial cost to present a barrier to attendance, so if paying any amount would cause hardship, please do not pay. Any amount of money paid will help make the program sustainable in the long run.Administrative Details: All camp staff will be approved by UConn office of Protection for Minors with training so they are authorized adults to interact with students. A few legal forms (e.g., UConn Liability Waiver, Emergency Contact) will need to be signed by parent(s) or legal guardian(s) of the students. Students need to bring their own lunch or funds to purchase lunch from UConn Student Union. Lunches will be chaperoned.

Art exhibit highlighting creative the creative talent of UConn Health Employees from across the organization.

"Expressions in Multimedia" by Martha G. Trask "Secondary Effects" by Jeff Ostergren Join us for a reception Thursday, May 22, from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Celeste LeWitt Gallery. (north side of the food court)Martha G. Trask is an expressive mixed media artist who happens to work in our library.Jeff Ostergren infuses his paint with actual medications to tell stories about the intertwined histories of pharmaceuticals and color.

The Wells Fargo Center for Neurodiversity and Inclusive Hiring at UConn is hosting a free workshop teaching companies how to design, build, and implement a neurodiversity initiative within their organizations. The center is working to usher in a new generation of corporate leaders who prioritize inclusion and make it clear that meaningful change is happening here and now. 

Submit Art for Employee/Staff Art Show Attention artists of UConn Health: I am thrilled to announce that YOU will be the next special exhibit in our Connector Gallery between CT Tower and University Tower. Since I joined the team in January 2023, some of you who have shared your talents with me in conversation and I have encountered artwork by several past and present employees within our collection. It is time for another employee art show! Please send up to three (3) sample images of your art to arochester@uchc.edu by end of day Wednesday, July 30. Space is limited, so we will only display up to three (3) works per artist and no more than fifteen (15) at a time depending on size and availability of wall space. All artwork must have wire installed for hanging. All work on paper must be framed to ensure its protection. If selected and your work is not prepared for hanging, it will be turned away because it must be installed using our hanging system. To prevent safety hazards and/or accidental damage in this is high-traffic area, we will not display sculptures that require pedestals. If needed, contact me as soon as possible at arochester@uchc.edu and I can provide guidance on how to prepare your art for gallery display. Art selections will be made by a group of volunteers from our new art committee. Selection will be based primarily on collective themes and aesthetic complement to other submissions. If your work is not selected for this exhibit, please consider submitting again in the future. We will have more displays throughout the year. We look forward to viewing your art and celebrating your artistic talents at UConn Health. Key Dates:Wednesday, July 30: Submissions close at end of day.Friday, Aug. 1: Exhibiting artists will be notified by end of day.Tuesday, Aug. 5 (9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.):- Art drop-off Day 1Thursday, Aug, 7 (9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.): Art drop-off Day 2Tuesday, Aug. 12: Install exhibitThursday, Nov. 6: Deinstall exhibit/art pickup Thank you, Andre Rochester UConn Health Art Curator

Abstract:   Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) has emerged as a critical enabling technology for Industry 4.0, providing deterministic communication capabilities essential for mission- and safety-critical applications in automotive, aerospace, and industrial automation systems. TSN's ability to guarantee bounded latency and jitter through mechanisms, e.g., Time-Aware Shaper (TAS), has made it increasingly attractive for real-time industrial networks. While numerous TAS-based scheduling algorithms have been proposed to improve system schedulability and scalability, their practical deployment faces significant challenges that span from theoretical algorithm design to real-world system implementation.   Despite extensive research on TSN scheduling algorithms, the field lacks comprehensive evaluation frameworks to assess their performance across diverse application scenarios. More critically, our initial efforts to evaluate these algorithms in real-world settings revealed a fundamental gap: while TSN bridges have received considerable attention, achieving deterministic end-to-end guarantees requires equally capable end stations. However, implementing TSN compatibility on end device, particularly those using commodity hardware, presents substantial challenges due to unpredictable delays in software stacks and architecture, and the limitations of general-purpose computing platforms.   To address these challenges, we first present a systematic review and experimental evaluation framework for TAS-based scheduling methods, categorizing existing approaches and benchmarking 17 representative solutions through both high-fidelity simulations and real-world testbed experiments. Our testbed deployment revealed that end-station implementations often become the limiting factor in achieving theoretical scheduling performance, motivating our focus on TSN end-system design. Second, we develop an open-source and cost-effective TSN end station design leveraging DPDK to achieve ultra-low latency and nanosecond-level transmission accuracy on COTS hardware with scheduling offloading functions, employing a novel multi-core scheduling framework to maximize real-time traffic throughput. Finally, to enable TSN deployment with arbitrary network hardware, we introduce KeepON, a novel driver model that enables deterministic packet transmissions on standard NICs by maintaining predictable temporal transmission patterns by transmitting fixed-size data chunks as placeholders.
