Abstract : Up to now, the primary purpose of telecommunication operators’ extensive fiber networks is to transport data. Distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) has gained widespread attention in the telecommunications industry by enabling telcos’ fiber infrastructure to function as an intelligent sensing network, creating new business opportunities. This presentation will begin with an overview of the technology, followed by a discussion of requirements, use cases, recent progress and challenges.

Leading a development team in an agile environment mirrors guiding the Fellowship of the Ring. Both require a clear vision, diverse skills, strong collaboration, adaptability to challenges, and a foundation of trust and respect. This talk will explore how principles from the Lord of the Rings can be applied to agile practices, illustrating how unity and perseverance drive successful development teams.

This session on reliability engineering/technology will focus on reliability engineering as an engineering discipline and profession that is critical for today's complex and critical systems, and reliability technology as a constantly evolving technology in electrical/electronic/mechanical system design and development. This session will also focus on the history of IEEE reliability standards and the latest standards being developed by IEEE to move reliability engineering and technology further. Examples of IEEE reliability standards will be provided. Also, excerpts from my first book, Design for Reliability (DfR), by Raheja and Gullo, will be provided.
