A gentle introduction to the Agile Philosophy Agile is a software development methodology to build a software incrementally using short iterations, so that the development is aligned with the changing business needs. This simple tutorial uses appropriate examples to help you understand agile development in a general and quick way. Audience This tutorial has been prepared for beginners to help them understand the basics of Agile principles and its implementation. After completing this tutorial, you will find yourself at a moderate level of expertise, from where you can advance further. Prerequisites Attendees need a basic knowledge of software development concepts such as software requirements, coding, testing, etc. Key Target/Objective: This entire seminar is designed to enable folks to be well informed on the higher level technical aspects of Agile Philosophy, so they can step into this world with full confidence, with the right perspective.

[]Vannevar Bush (March 11, 1890 – June 28, 1974) was an American engineer, inventor and science administrator, who during World War II headed the U.S. Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD), through which almost all wartime military R&D was carried out, including important developments in radar and the initiation and early administration of the Manhattan Project. He emphasized the importance of scientific research to national security and economic well-being, and was chiefly responsible for the movement that led to the creation of the National Science Foundation. { note: Actually 3 short documentaries which have been strung together } AFTER the documentary - we can have a brief discussion session.

As Artificial Intelligence systems rapidly transition from passive predictive tools to fully autonomous decision-making agents, ensuring transparency, trust, and accountability has become a critical priority. This event focuses on Explainability-Driven Autonomous AI Agents—intelligent systems capable of operating independently across multiple domains while providing interpretable and trustworthy decision insights. Organized under the broader vision of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, this session brings together researchers, industry leaders, and practitioners working at the intersection of autonomous systems, explainable AI (XAI), edge intelligence, and safety-critical applications. The event will explore: - Foundations of explainability in autonomous AI agents - Architectures for multi-domain intelligent systems - Trust, robustness, and verification in AI-driven autonomy - Human-AI collaboration and interpretable decision pipelines - Applications across healthcare, smart infrastructure, defense, consumer electronics, and distributed intelligence - Ethical, regulatory, and societal implications of autonomous AI Special emphasis will be placed on circuit- and system-level innovations that enable deployable, real-time, and resource-efficient explainable AI frameworks. Through invited talks, panel discussions, and technical presentations, participants will gain insights into emerging methodologies that bridge algorithmic intelligence with hardware-aware design and system reliability. This event aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration within the IEEE community, encouraging the development of next-generation autonomous AI agents that are not only intelligent—but also transparent, accountable, and societally aligned.
