Don't forget this week's seminar (Friday 23rd May) 16:00 in Gower Street
66-72 GS/102. Our speaker is Prof Mischa Dohler from Kings College.
Title:
“The Dawn of Connected Machines”
Abstract:
An emerging paradigm is gripping industrial and academic ICT communities
alike, the one of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications. It refers to
the ability of machines to communicate with one another without human
intervention. If predictions are to be believed, we will have some 50bn
devices “speaking” to each other by 2020. Touted by some the 4th
Industrial Revolution, this hyper-connected cyber-physical world will
certainly ignite unprecedented economic and social opportunities.
In this talk, I will review recent technological developments which we
believe will allow us to address this scale of connectivity. I will also
dwell on some lessons we learned from prior connectivity exercises and
discuss mistakes made. I will then expose major research and design
challenges which need to be addressed to facilitate a truly connected
cyber-physical world, including issues related to Big Data, Open Data
and Privacy.
