LOS ALAMITOS, Calif., 21 August 2026 – The IEEE Computer Society (CS) is pleased to announce the winners of the 2026 Career Catalyst Scholarship. A panel of industry judges decided the winners based on a combination of academic performance; technical skills and experience; leadership and extracurriculars; statement of purpose; industry readiness and professionalism; and letters […] The post IEEE…
As enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives expand, organizations are increasingly relying on cloud-native big-data platforms to support real-time analytics, distributed AI workloads, and massive volumes of structured and unstructured data. These modern architectures provide the scalability and flexibility needed for enterprise AI, but they also create new governance challenges. Data…
Abstract— Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) systems leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) frequently demonstrate impressive extraction accuracy in prototype environments, yet encounter significant operational failures when deployed at scale. These failures are rarely attributable to extraction capability itself; rather, they stem from systemic production concerns including API rate limiting,…
In traditional engineering lore, certifications were typically deemed valuable if they met a job posting’s technical requirements and/or could be immediately and practically applied. As for credentials that testified to broader software engineering knowledge? Their value has often been viewed as … less tangible. Then along came AI and its seemingly voracious appetite for expansion, […] The post…

Dr. Robby Robson is co-founder and former CEO at Eduworks Corporation and former Chair of the IEEE Computer Society Learning Technology Standards Committee, whose pioneering work in learning technology standards and online learning systems has launched the learning technology industry and […] The post Bridging…
Conference dates: 4 – 6 November 2026 | San Jose, CA, USA IEEE International Conference on Resilience and Integrated Security for Space and Critical Systems The IEEE Conference on Resilience and Integrated Security for Space & Critical Systems (RISC) is the first IEEE conference dedicated to the security and resilience of space systems and the […] The post Call for Submissions: IEEE RISC 2026…
Scalability is apparent under heavy pressure, particularly when traffic increases, workloads change, or usage patterns shift unexpectedly. What is clear in these moments is that many of the outcomes were set in motion earlier. Systems architecture decisions made quickly, without full context, can quietly shape how a system behaves months or even years later. In […] The post Architecting for…
Conference dates: 2028 & 2029 The Steering Committee of the IEEE Conference on AI is now inviting interested organizers to submit proposals to organize the 2028 (Singapore) and 2029 (Silicon Valley) editions of the IEEE Conference on Artificial Intelligence (CAI). CAI is a premier global forum and exhibition bridging academic breakthroughs with industrial relevance, showcasing […] The post Call…
Introduction: The Hidden Debt of the Smart City As smart city initiatives scale globally, the focus remains primarily on the visible “edge”—IoT sensors, smart grids, and citizen-facing applications. However, behind these services operates a massive, energy-intensive cloud infrastructure. In my daily experience managing cloud-native architectures at Contour Software, I have observed that while the…
Important Dates Submissions due: 26 January 2027 Publication date: April – June 2027 Quantum computers offer theoretical exponential acceleration for scientific problems, but their adoption has been limited by software immaturity and high barriers to entry. Democratizing this technology requires an inextricable, bidirectional integration with High-Performance Computing (HPC): quantum accelerators…
Important Dates Submissions due: 1 February 2027 Publication date: July – September 2027 As AI transforms scientific discovery, a powerful convergence is underway between artificial intelligence and extreme-scale workflows. These workflows are the systems that orchestrate complex, multi-step scientific campaigns on high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure. This convergence gives rise to AI…

I have more than 16 years of experience building enterprise software, with a focus on distributed systems, SaaS integrations, cloud platforms, and service reliability. I earned my M.Tech. from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Anantapur and now live in […] The post Connecting Enterprise Software…
As AI agents begin executing tasks on our behalf in the physical and digital world, security can no longer be treated as an afterthought. Traditional credentials were designed for predictable code and human logins, leaving autonomous, non-deterministic AI systems exposed. In the latest episode of InfiLab, AI and cybersecurity expert Abhishek Goswami explores what it […] The post Episode 9 | The…
As distributed systems scale, manual infrastructure processes frequently become a leading source of operational risk. Issues such as configuration drift, ticket-driven provisioning, and inconsistent environments can lead to higher costs and diminished performance. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) enables companies to improve efficiency. When implemented properly, it removes inconsistency from…
