About us
Welcome to the official Meetup group of the San Diego Section of the IEEE! sdieee.org SDIEEE
We support and serve San Diego engineering and computing professionals, and aim to create a community of members who want to learn and share their knowledge in electrical engineering, communications, computer science and related disciplines.
We welcome all interested parties to attend our programs and events, and you do not need to be an IEEE member to participate.
Our organization is responsible for coordinating IEEE activities for much of Southern California. This area has a diverse technical and scientific community in industry, academia, entrepreneurship, and defense. Our objectives are the educational and technical advancement of electrical and electronic engineering, telecommunications, computer engineering and allied disciplines. We are organized as a geographic unit (the San Diego Section of IEEE) and host international technical units (local Chapters of IEEE Technical Societies)
Our Technical Society Chapters include:
-Aerospace and Electronic Systems
-Antennas & Propagation, Solid State Circuits, Microwave Theory and Techniques, Electron Devices, Circuits and Systems
-Broadcast Technology
-Communications
-Components, Packaging & Manufacturing Technologies
-Computational Intelligence
-Computer

Cyber Security of Sensor Systems: an AI Approach with Explainable Anomaly Root Cause & Type Classification Abstract: Due to possible devastating consequences, counteracting sensor data attacks is an extremely important topic, which has not seen sufficient study. This presentation presents the first methods that accurately identify/eliminate only the problematic attacked sensor data presented to a sequence estimation/regression algorithm under a powerful attack model. The approach does not assume a known form for the statistical model of the sensor data, allowing data-driven and machine learning sequence estimation/regression algorithms to be protected. A simple protection approach for attackers not endowed with knowledge of the details of our protection approach is first developed, followed by additional processing for attacks based on protection system knowledge. Experimental results show that the simple approach achieves performance indistinguishable from that for an approach which knows which sensors are attacked. For cases where the attacker has knowledge of the protection approach, experimental results indicate the additional processing can be configured so that the worst-case degradation under the additional processing and a large number of sensors attacked can be made significantly smaller than the worst-case degradation of the simple approach, and close to an approach which knows which sensors are attacked, with just a slight degradation under no attacks. Mathematical descriptions of the worst-case attacks are used to demonstrate the additional processing will provide similar advantages for cases for which we do not have numerical results. All the data-driven processing used in our approaches employs only unattacked training data. Explainable anomaly root cause analysis and type classification are discussed.

#### Dr. Rick S. Blum
Topic:
### Cyber Security of Sensor Systems: an AI Approach with Explainable Anomaly Root Cause & Type Classification
Biography:
Rick S. Blum received a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the Pennsylvania State University in 1984 and his M.S. and Ph.D in Electrical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania in 1987 and 1991. From 1984 to 1991 he was a member of technical staff at General Electric Aerospace in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania and he graduated from GE`s Advanced Course in Engineering. Since 1991, he has been with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania where he is currently a Professor and holds the Robert W. Wieseman Endowed Professorship in Electrical Engineering. His research interests include machine learning and signal processing for security, smart grid, communications, sensor networking, radar, and sensor processing. He was on the editorial board for the Journal of Advances in Information Fusion of the International Society of Information Fusion. He was an associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing and for IEEE Communications Letters. He has edited special issues for IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing and IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications. He was a member of the SAM Technical Committee (TC) of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. He was a member of the Signal Processing for Communications TC of the IEEE Signal Processing Society and was a member of the Communications Theory TC of the IEEE Communication Society.

SD IEEE Consultants' Network: AUGUST "Away Game" -INCOSE Summer Social
Oggi’s Sports Brewhouse (Carmel Mountain Ranch), 10155 Rancho Carmel Drive, San Diego, CA, USSan Diego IEEE Consultants' Network August 2026 Meeting ("Away Game")
=> INCOSE Chapter Summer Social & Membership Drive <=
This month we will join our sister org. the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) for their Free Chapter Summer Social & Membership Drive. This event will feature free pizza, wings, salads, and soft drinks (alcoholic beverages will be the responsibility of the guests). The San Diego chapter has just been awarded the INCOSE Platinum Circle Award for the 8th straight year! Come help them celebrate this incredible achievement!!!
INCOSE is a not-for-profit membership organization founded to develop and disseminate the interdisciplinary principles and practices that enable the realization of successful systems. Being a systems engineering organization, their members tend to be part of larger corporations, which would make for synergies with specialized consultants. Moreover, the local chapter has been interested in collaborating with IEEE to help raise awareness of both organizations. Many systems engineers come from project engineering backgrounds in electrical, mechanical, or aerospace fields (and of course, computer science). Should be a great networking event of peers!
