IoT Week 2013, June 17-20th Open for Registration! (Helsinki, Finland):
The Internet of Things is no longer talking to the innovation or trend watching units.
The business units have gone beyond optimising and fine-tuning efficiency to the utmost. They are sensing a huge market.
In line with current strategic developments in the Internet of Things, the programme of the IoT Week 2013 is based on four topics:
- General opening keynote addresses by policy actors and industry representatives as well as presentations from a global perspective of the Internet of Things
- IoT technologies with several sessions on actual research undertaken on IoT architecture, IP and cognitive technologies, semantic interoperability, etc…
- IoT solutions as the essential and core ingredient and motor of the Smart Cities concepts
- IoT & entrepreneurship & business models
During plenary sessions and interactive workshops participants from all over the world and with various background will have the chance to participate to debates like:
- What will be the balance between intelligence in the Cloud (end to end) and intelligence at the edges (in the (robotic?) devices)?
- How will a general audience react to a world where ‘everything talks to everything’?
- Is privacy still a concept that developers can work with?
- Will IoT cut more jobs in an unstable economic climate or can it kick start a young and IT savvy generation to build apps and services with open data coming from real-time sensor streams?
- Which domains are currently most successful? How can we ensure interoperability?
- What are the main standardisation efforts?
- How far are the benchmarking efforts and strategies of smart cities?
- What should I be looking out for if I am a City Council? A citizen? A developer?
