Objective
Artificial Intelligence has great immediate and future potential for transforming almost all aspects of healthcare. However, lack of explainability in AI applications has become increasingly problematic. Explainable AI provides a rationale that allows users to understand why a system has made a particular decision. The output can then be interpreted within a given context. Explainable AI based systems support healthcare professionals in their clinic decision-making. Absence of explainability may lead to issues of under or overreliance. Providing explanations for how decisions are made will allow healthcare professionals to make more nuanced, and in some cases, life-saving decisions. The need for XAI in healthcare industry is amplified by the need for ethical and fair decision-making.
TENSYMP attendee may be data scientist, industry professional, researcher, student or faculty. After attending this tutorial, the TENSYMP attendees will,
➢ Understand how AI is useful to make faster, cheaper, and more accurate disease diagnosis.
➢ Get insights on how AI techniques can be utilized to automate diagnosis of unexplored or rarely focused diseases.
➢ Be familiar with some AI-powered healthcare solutions.
➢ Receive conceptual understanding of the role of Explainable AI (XAI) in healthcare.
➢ Be familiar with future of AI and XAI in healthcare industry along with its risks and challenges.

Objective
Designing, developing, deploying, and delivering the curriculum itself is a highly complex and very time-consuming process. It becomes even an extremely gruesome and the most challenging exercise when it has to satisfy the ever-growing greed and conflicting needs of the 21st Century stakeholders. As such the multidisciplinary curriculum and holistic education have been emphasised in the Indian National Education Policy 2020. As there are varying perceptions and interpretations of the “Multidisciplinary” and “Holistic” terms, minimal easy to implement aspects have been considered and proposed while keeping the current system almost intact.
What can be done to further strengthen and enhance it? How to infuse, incorporate, and integrate multidisciplinary attributes with holistic features in the mainstream curriculum of the current system that too in such an unprecedented scenario is the theme of this presentation. The key features of the proposed model for integrated multidisciplinary-holistic education will be highlighted. The crucial role of Automation, Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, and Digital Technology in tandem with pragmatic implementation strategies will also be discussed.

Objective
The vision of smart cities is to use digital technologies to provide integrated services to their citizens through the free flow of information, and to usher in an era of good governance. Designing smart city Information Communication Technology (ICT) architecture is the essential first step in this direction. Cities are complex ecosystems, where government services pertaining to transportation, public safety, utilities, healthcare, education, social services, culture, economic development, and more are provided by a multitude of government organizations.
One of the key problems in smart cities is that cities are managed by a multitude of service providers and government organizations. Component systems are acquired by separate program offices and run by separate operation units. Standards play an important role in defining the infrastructure and addressing the interoperability issues.
This workshop is committed to Smart Cities Standardization and offers a portfolio of focused sessions on standards and programs addressing the key aspects of ICT Infrastructure:
➢ Overview of Standardization and its impact on Smart Cities
➢ IEEE P1951.1 Standard for Smart City Component Systems Discovery and Semantic Exchange of Objectives – This standard defines a process to discover smart city component systems deployed in the city and proposes a classification mechanism to describe the component system based on the resources and data elements it exposes (such as Internet of Things (IOT) system, E-Government system, Geo-spatial system, Collaboration system, or similar component systems.)
➢ IEEE P2872 Standard for Interoperable and Secure Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) Infrastructure and Architecture – This standard describes a protocol that enables interoperable, semantically compatible connections between connected hardware (e.g. autonomous drones, sensors, smart devices, robots) and software (e.g. services, platforms, applications, AIS).
➢ IEEE P19301.1 Recommended Practice for Software Defined Networking (SDN) based Middleware for Control and Management of Wireless Networks – This Recommended Practice specifies an SDN middleware to support unified control and management of multiple Radio Access Technology (multi-RAT) wireless access networks for Fifth Generation (5G) and beyond. It also defines an SDN based architecture, which facilitates Radio Access Network (RAN) level inter-working and unification of RATs.
➢ IEEE P1451.99 Standard for Harmonization of Internet of Things (IoT) Devices and Systems – This standard defines a method for data sharing, interoperability, and security of messages over a network, where sensors, actuators and other devices can interoperate, regardless of underlying communication technology.

Abstract
Electrification is current worldwide ‘mega-trend,’ which includes the widespread adoption Renewable Energy, Electric Vehicles and Smart Grids. Making electrification successful, reliable and commercially-viable depends greatly on the quality of the engineering approaches used when designing at the system level.
In this session on Electric Systems Modelling and Simulation, we will discuss the various stages involved in modelling electrical systems. Starting from the fundamentals of circuit simulations, we will build up gradually to photovoltaic systems and then more complex topics like EV modelling and Battery Management Systems.
This workshop is suitable for engineering students in their 3rd or 4th years looking for projects to work on, research scholars seeking to understand physical modelling workflows, or faculty members looking for ideas on how to teach electrification-related topics effectively.
