Based on the identified research gaps\, two main c ontributions are proposed. <br>First\, Developed-SALSA (D-SALSA) stack pro tocols are introduced to improve adaptability\, energy efficiency\, throug hput\, and communication reliability. Second\, a heterogeneous underwater architecture combining acoustic and optical communication technologies is presented to support high-rate and large-scale data transmission.</p><br / ><br />Agenda: <br /><p>7:00PM - Introduction of IEEE Hamilton Section</p> \n<p>7:15PM - Presentation</p>\n<p>8:00PM - Q&amp\;A</p>\n<p>8:15PM - Refr eshments</p> END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
