Workflows are a key component of server side of IoT solution along with Analytics, Rule Engine and IoT device management. IoT focused Workflow tools draw their inspiration of classical workflow tools that exist in market, but focus more on IoT use cases. For example they are able to connect with IoT devices using IoT specific protocols like CoAP or MQTT. Node-RED is a visual tool for wiring together hardware devices, APIs and online services in new and interesting ways. It’s build by IBM Emerging Technology team from group for IoT, though it’s not limited only to IoT.

Presented at Web Unleashed 2019 More info at www.fitc.ca/webu Andréa Crofts League Overview Examining our responsibility as creators to design for disconnection. The “restore connection” alert isn’t just for devices– it applies to people too. And it’s more important now than ever before. Digital creators, we need to talk. The rise in mental health as a result of situational stress is a prevailing theme in today’s society, and some of the products we’re building are the root cause. But we have the power to change this. As creators of digital products, how might we enable our users to be more present in their lives? How might we invest in features like Instagram’s activity timer, despite the fact that they’re fundamentally counterintuitive to the usage metrics most behemoth tech companies are driving towards? We have a responsibility as creators of digital products to enable others to disconnect …and re-connect with themselves, physically and mentally. This intersection is an emerging category Andrea likes to call digital health, and it’s something we can create together. Objective To share actionable strategies, principles and considerations for designing with digital health top of mind. Andrea will get into some #realtalk about how we can collectively create more balance and presence for the humans using our products. Target Audience Designers and digital creators of all kinds – especially those building digital products at scale! Level Open to audience members of any skill level (this is a more high-level talk) Five Things Audience Members Will Learn Tips and best-in-class examples of designing for digital health Design guidelines and principles for designing with digital health in mind Evidence-based practices to ground your future design decisions Strategies for re-framing the success metrics of digital products Design ethics resources

Presented at Web Unleashed 2019 More info at www.fitc.ca/webu Luke DeWitt REDspace Overview JavaScript’s popularity has exploded over the last decade, taking it from a laughable scripting language to one that powers much of the web today. Because it’s so flexible and so easy to learn, it’s extremely popular with new developers looking to cut their teeth in programming. However, these strengths are also weaknesses, as it’s incredibly easy to write bad JavaScript without even knowing it. A lot of these newer developers jump from “Hello, World!”, to TodoMVC in order to find the library that makes their life easier. By doing this, they skip over some of the important details of not only how JavaScript works, but also how to optimize its performance to ensure the best user experience. The Chrome profiler is a very handy tool that not a lot of developers have experience with. In this talk, we’ll take a beginner’s look at the profiler tool and examine how to use it to best improve your web application, and identify bottlenecks in your code without having to rely only on console.log statements. Objective To help developers understand how to better make use of the JavaScript profiler. Target Audience Any JavaScript developers Assumed Audience Knowledge Basic JavaScript Level Beginner / intermediate Five Things Audience Members Will Learn Javascript inner-workings Profiling concepts Identifying bottlenecks Profiling node applications Tooling

Presented at FITC Toronto 2019 More info at www.fitc.ca/toronto Chris Zacharias imgix Overview The average website loads over 1.5MBs of content per page, making over 75 requests. Many popular websites are serving over 5MBs just to load their homepages. And these numbers represent measurements taken AFTER compression is applied. The full weight of many popular websites is pushing 20+ MBs these days. In an era where performance truly matters to the end user experience, web developers need techniques to help curtail this bloat in data down the wire. No matter how well you optimize, there is no better way to than to delete things you do not need. How does one determine what is essential to the user experience and what is not? One answer Chris posits is to develop a hyper-lightweight version of your website which will provide critical insights into your specific performance priorities. This is a process that he has leveraged on many projects, in particular at YouTube to reduce the size of the video watch page from 1.5MBs to 100KBs. In this talk, Chris will take real-world web pages and show techniques for dramatically reducing their page weight and for identifying areas to optimize, while outlining the key steps to doing this well. Objective Learn a process for building a hyper-lightweight version of your website for establishing reasonable performance budgets, grounded in reality, to work from. Target Audience Web developers Assumed Audience Knowledge HTML, CSS, Javascript, some server-side awareness. Level Intermediate Five Things Audience Members Will Learn How to analyze a web page for performance issues A holistic approach to deconstructing an existing website A clear process for building a hyper-lightweight version of your website Translating your findings into real performance priorities Establishing a realistic performance budget

The presentation explores the development and application of artificial intelligence (AI) from its inception to its current status in the modern world. The term "artificial intelligence" was first coined by John McCarthy in 1956 to describe efforts to develop computer programs capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. This concept was first introduced at a conference held at Dartmouth College, where programs demonstrated capabilities such as playing chess, proving theorems, and interpreting texts. In the early stages, Alan Turing contributed to the field by defining intelligence as the ability of a being to respond to certain questions intelligently, proposing what is now known as the Turing Test to evaluate the presence of intelligent behavior in machines. As the decades progressed, AI evolved significantly. The 1980s focused on machine learning, teaching computers to learn from data, leading to the development of models that could improve their performance based on their experiences. The 1990s and 2000s saw further advances in algorithms and computational power, which allowed for more sophisticated data analysis techniques, including data mining. By the 2010s, the proliferation of big data and the refinement of deep learning techniques enabled AI to become mainstream. Notable milestones included the success of Google's AlphaGo and advancements in autonomous vehicles by companies like Tesla and Waymo. A major theme of the presentation is the application of generative AI, which has been used for tasks such as natural language text generation, translation, and question answering. Generative AI uses large datasets to train models that can then produce new, coherent pieces of text or other media. The presentation also discusses the ethical implications and the need for regulation in AI, highlighting issues such as privacy, bias, and the potential for misuse. These concerns have prompted calls for comprehensive regulations to ensure the safe and equitable use of AI technologies. Artificial intelligence has also played a significant role in healthcare, particularly highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic, where it was used in drug discovery, vaccine development, and analyzing the spread of the virus. The capabilities of AI in healthcare are vast, ranging from medical diagnostics to personalized medicine, demonstrating the technology's potential to revolutionize fields beyond just technical or consumer applications. In conclusion, AI continues to be a rapidly evolving field with significant implications for various aspects of society. The development from theoretical concepts to real-world applications illustrates both the potential benefits and the challenges that come with integrating advanced technologies into everyday life.
