Panel – The Revolution of the Technology Ecosystem — How IoT is Influencing Enterprise Collaboration to Reduce Complexity, Improve Time to Market and Deliver End-User ROI

Session Abstract: Technology experts and analysts have described the Internet of Things as the second industrial revolution with an explosion of connected devices set to deliver the sequel to the dot-com boom from the late 90’s. The hype at the onset of this data revolution was palpable with almost every technology provider seeking to stake their claim within the vastly growing IoT ecosystem. The economic potential was ripe, and still is, but initial ROI for global industries has fallen short. In the current age where we expect instant gratification and results, we have forgotten that it takes time and knowledge...

How OSS and Cloud-Native Development Drive Change in the Automotive Industry

Session Abstract:  The decades-old strategy automakers have used for platform development has resulted in long development cycles, increased complexities, and a long time-to-revenue. Conversely, faster advancements are often attributed to the adoption of a modernized infrastructure platform and cloud-native technology. As the industry evolves toward the software-defined vehicle, it’s clear that the automotive value chain is also changing. In this session we will discuss how open source software and cloud-native development are becoming a pivotal part of the automotive value chain, how it can help to bring the software-defined vehicle to life, and the need for software-centric in-vehicle architectures.

Rethinking Connectivity – Hyper-Connectivity and the Intelligent Edge will drive innovation and push us to rethink how we connect the world’s digital systems services and devices.

Abstract: We are in the middle of a massive transformation. We are no longer in a Data Economy, but a Connective Economy. More importantly, a Peer to Peer Connective Economy. The real value and innovation is in enabling this secure and hyperconnected world, not just for us, but for all of the digital systems and services we all depend on. Increasingly data needs to be acted on where it is created and accessed securely from any location. The need for real-time decision-making won’t allow everything to be sent back and forth to a central cloud or datacenter. Our belief is...

IoT Empowered Predictive Maintenance

Session Abstract: When milliseconds matter, IoT empowers companies and governments to optimize the performance of their machinery, fleets, infrastructure, and buildings. Organizations that use IoT for predictive maintenance keep high-capital assets running at maximum efficiency and achieve greater production targets, lower operating costs, and minimize environment, health, and safety risks. Using data mining, advanced analytics, and data visualization, they detect hidden patterns in their data, allowing them to troubleshoot performance issues faster and more effectively – so that corrective action can be taken quickly. Jennifer Robinson will lead a panel discussion on the Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) for predictive...

From Zero Trust to Full Trust

Session Abstract: The IoT has been under attack since its inception. This trend has accelerated recently with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with Russian backed attackers targeting German wind farms in a bid to increase that nation’s reliance on Russian oil and gas [1]. The critical weakness of the IoT security, even when it is implemented, has been its network-centric focus. This historical focus on communications worked well enough when end points could be trusted. And for a long time, they have been to a degree. Computers and smartphones are typically in the possession of their owner. They’re protected by buildings...

SPTIoTCoE Panel – Human-friendly strategies for IoT Security, Privacy, and Trust

Abstract: Security, Privacy and Trust for the IoT is much more challenging and consequential than Internet security in general. This is due to IoT hyperconnectivity, scale, variations in device interactions, and potential vulnerability of the cyber-physical systems associated with an IoT deployment. In addition, the valuable data collected and distributed in an IoT system have a number of new vulnerabilities. The Internet security and trust management technologies we’ve used over the past years are not up to the task. But, there are a number of powerful new strategies and technologies for SPT for the IOT. These include: Zero trust approaches...

Analytics on Patrol

Session Abstract: The world remains a dangerous place. Much of that danger is the result of forces outside of human control, but there remain human-made illicit activities which pose health, economic, and life risks to peoples local to and far from the activity. These activities, such as drug trafficking, often occur over vast areas that are only lightly monitored and often obfuscated by dense foliage and lack of any uniquely defining features, making the task of detecting and identifying both the existence and source of these activities very difficult. Aerial surveillance of these areas provides some security against and prevention...

Reducing Food Deserts with the Internet of Things

Session Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) describes a system where the Internet is connected to the physical world via ubiquitous sensors. Over the years, IoT has evolved from simple computing and short range wireless communications to powerful data processing and the ability to monitor and control objects from long distances with minimal to no human intervention. Leveraging IoT, we successfully implememted a solution to provide urban communities access to affordable and nutritious food in areas considered to be food deserts. This solution enables the community to grow their own supply of healthy food all while reducing water consumption (a...
