Workshop 9: Enhancing Diversity in the Engineering World: Experiences, Views, and Suggestions
Organized by Carmela Cozzo, Huawei Technologies, USA
The aim of this workshop is to enhance diversity in IEEE Vehicular Technology Society—and in the Engineering Community as a whole—by fostering the connection of women and other groups that represent minorities.
The workshop intends to create an opportunity for sharing experiences about the challenges faced by women and minorities in the engineering world, and views on how to enhance diversity and increase the presence of minorities at all stages of the engineering career.
This pioneering workshop will be an onsite interactive discussion. We encourage everyone to attend and contribute their experiences and ideas. Please contact the organizer for further details, and to discuss contributions.

IEEE VTC2019-Fall
Panel Discussion on UAV to UAV Communications: Options, Challenges, and Standards
Monday September 23rd, 6 PM to 8 PM
Description
Before unmanned air transportation can become a reality, there are several technical challenges that need to be addressed by the research community. The most important among them is the need for enhanced situational awareness for UAVs in the airspace. UAV-to-UAV Communications is the key for enhanced situational awareness. It facilitates Beyond Radio-Line-of-Sight Communications, Deconfliction strategies, and sharing of situational awareness information between the UAVs. The panel discusses the options for UAV-to-UAV communications including satellite, cellular, and aerial communications. Standardization efforts including IEEE P1920.1, IEEE 1920.2, 3GPP, ASTM, RTCA, and EUROCAE will be covered.
