IEEE SF/OEB PES, SF IAS, SCV PES/IAS & R6 PES Women in Power (WiP) invite you to join our hybrid lunchtime technical meeting on Grid Reliability and Its Vital Signs by our IEEE PES Distinguished Lecturer & Past PES President Dr. Jessica Bian! The in-person lunch will start at 11:30am at the CPUC Golden Gate Room. The technical meeting will begin at 12:00pm Noon both in-person and virtually. Frequency, voltage, customer interruption. What do these vital signs tell us about the bulk power system? Learn the grid health underlying the vital signs and how to accurately assess them. This lecture will explore reliability aspects of bulk power system so that you will develop a systematic, integrated understanding of how to assess the bulk power system reliability. Additional indicators include energy emergency alerts, transmission outage rates, protection system operations, and resource reserve margin. The presentation will also provide ranges, trends, and driving factors that influence changes in these indicators.

A System of Systems for Cognitive Decision-Making Decision-making is a task that an average person does about 300 to 400 times a day. Most decisions are minor but there are some that are of great importance, that the decision can have great impact. The Butterfly Effect states that a small action in one part of the world can cause a great effect in another part of the world at some later time. The Gartner Group estimates that by 2028 33% of enterprise applications will include agentic AI, and that this will enable 15% of daily work decisions to be made autonomously, without human intervention. . This can be fueled by a combination of shortage of capable humans, an increase in the cost of human involvement, and greater AI accuracy and performance. It should be started on a narrow realm of application, and with knowledge, experience, and success, the realm could be expanded. Human cognitive function is an important part of this paper, except that we try to create it in the machine environment. Some example situations are included to help demonstrate the problem. This paper explains some of the types of decision-making and how they are performed. The paper then continues with how this process, modeled after an intelligent human would perform the task. This discussion combines computer science, decision sciences, psychology, and mathematics to describe this project. Speaker(s): , Dr. Morantz Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/488111

He shows that today’s agents aren’t just “smart autocomplete” but self-directed ideators, experimenters, analysts, and creators. Drawing on his recent publications, he argues that AI agents already deliver end-to-end autonomy: how aiXplain autonomously refine Agentic AI workflows via continuous LLM-driven feedback loops, ideate and implement enterprise Agentic AI use-cases, and derive actionable business insights from enterprise data—producing executive-ready reports without human intervention. ...

Agentic AI represents a paradigm shift in artificial intelligence, moving beyond static models and reactive systems to dynamic, autonomous agents capable of setting goals, making decisions, and adapting over time. Unlike traditional AI, which passively responds to inputs, agentic AI can plan, reason, and act in complex, real-world environments—making it especially suited for the demands of modern healthcare. ...

The speech will discuss not only technical solution approaches but also our responsibilities to build human-compatible Agentic AI. ... Speaker – Dr. Utku Kose https://r6.ieee.org/scv-cs/wp-content/uploads/sites/81/2025/05/Screen-Shot-2025-05-31-at-2.16.25-PM.png Title: Beyond the Buzz: Defining Agentic AI Systems, Their Capabilities, and the Path Forward Abstract – Despite widespread discussion of AI agents across industry and academia, the field lacks consensus on fundamental questions: What exactly constitutes an agent? What problems can current agents realistically solve versus what remains beyond their reach? This talk addresses the clarity gap by examining current agent capabilities and limitations through real-world examples, and establishing concrete problem statements for researchers and practitioners. ... Speaker: Ranjitha Gurunath Kulkarni https://r6.ieee.org/scv-cs/wp-content/uploads/sites/81/2025/05/Screen-Shot-2025-05-31-at-2.13.42-PM.png Title: Agentic AI: Redefining Autonomy in Intelligent Systems Abstract – Agentic AI is reshaping the boundaries of artificial intelligence by enabling systems that move beyond reactive responses to exhibit autonomy, initiative, and adaptability. These agents are capable of independently setting goals, planning multi-step actions, maintaining memory over time, and interacting intelligently with their environments. ...
