DESCRIPTION:Effects of Wind and Tree Movements on Foliated Fixed Wireless 
 Links\, Tien Chua\n\nTemporal variation of received power in a foliated fi
 xed wireless channel is primarily owing to wind-induced tree movements. Du
 e to this time-dynamic fading\, the end-users may experience frequent loss
  of connectivity and/or severe fluctuations of data rates. In this present
 ation\, we will explore the temporal variation in foliated fixed wireless 
 channels resulting from the combined effects of wind and tree movements. M
 easurement data from a 5.8 GHz measurement campaign conducted over a perio
 d of 6 months will be presented. We will show that the scattering effects 
 owing to wind-induced tree movement are not solely dependent on wind speed
  but also the orientation of the wind. \n\n\nModern Embedded Systems: A Pr
 imer\, Rip Sohan\n\n\nTraditionally\, the term "embedded system" conjures 
 up images of constrained\, specialised hardware devices built for specific
  tasks running little more than assembly code.  In this talk\, we dispel t
 his notion by outlining the the modern embedded systems space.  Further\, 
 we outline a number of important techniques and\ntools useful for configur
 ing\, debugging and deploying modern embedded systems.
