I would like to invite ENCS members & their guests to attend this hybrid meeting "There's room for everyone at the table -- How technical professionals fit into an Agile Culture", by Matt Phillips, Agile Transformation Coach at Bandwidth, Inc. == Description == As organizations begin working in more agile ways, it is fairly common for some role confusion to creep into the system. Just because our ways of working shift, it does not mean people are replaced or rendered obsolete. There is also a great deal of conflation and confusion around agility and various workflow frameworks (e.g. Scrum and Kanban). In this session we will explore what it means to work in an Agile way (Hint: It’s more than a process play). We will also address team structures, shifting roles and role confusion, and how various frameworks help teams become Agile. Participants will leave the session with an understanding of what it means to work in an Agile way and how technical professionals fit into these systems. Everyone has a seat at the table and, more importantly, they play a key role in the pursuit of business agility.

VDL – Connecting Space Assets to the Internet: Challenges and Solutions

Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/328500

Data communications between Earth and devices on spacecraft, such as satellites, have traditionally been carried out through dedicated links. Shared links using Internet Protocol-based communication offers a number of advantages over dedicated links. The movement of devices on spacecrafts however gives rise to mobility management issues. This talk will discuss various mobility management solutions for extending the Internet connection to devices on the spacecraft. The talk will provide an overview of the network layer based solution being developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force and compare it with the transport layer-based solution that has been developed at the University of Oklahoma in conjunction with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Network in motion is an extension of the host mobility protocols for managing the mobility of networks which are in motion, such as those in airplanes and trains. The application of networks in motion will be illustrated for terrestrial and space environments. Speaker(s): Mohammed Atiquzzaman, Ph.D, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/328500
