Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.
UX, ethnography and possibilities: for Libraries, Museums and ArchivesNed Potter
1) The document discusses how the University of York Library has used various user experience (UX) techniques like ethnographic observation and interviews to better understand user needs and behaviors.
2) Some changes implemented based on UX findings include installing hot water taps, changing hours, and adding blankets - aimed at improving the small details of user experience.
3) The presentation encourages other libraries, archives and museums to try incorporating UX techniques like behavioral mapping and cognitive interviews to inform design changes that enhance services for users.

The document discusses different perspectives on Murphy's Law and principles from Stephen Covey's book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. It also provides examples of emerging technologies, automotive supply chains, smart electricity meters, industry revenue and margins, top companies by market value and revenue in key domains, startup products and services, and components of a company's organizational structure.
EKernel Thesis: an object-oriented micro-kernelMurphy Chen
The document describes the design and implementation of EKernel, an object-oriented microkernel. It aims to address issues of portability, maintainability, extensibility, and efficiency in operating system design. The key aspects of EKernel's design include using processes and threads as core abstractions, implementing inter-process communication via messaging, and providing a modular architecture with well-defined interfaces. Performance tests show EKernel achieves lower overhead than other microkernels for operations like context switches and IPC. Future work plans to enhance EKernel's scheduler and implement a networking subsystem.
EKernel: an object-oriented micro-kernelMurphy Chen
EKernel is an object-oriented microkernel designed to take advantage of modern processors and meet the demands of various applications. It focuses on portability, maintainability, extensibility, and efficiency. EKernel only includes essential kernel functions and builds other OS services as user-space servers. This modular design improves flexibility. Performance tests show that EKernel has lower overhead for system calls, address space switches, and IPC compared to other microkernels. Future work plans to implement file systems, networking, and other subsystems.
Basics of programming embedded processorsMurphy Chen
This document discusses challenges and techniques for embedded systems programming. It covers topics like state machines, data flow graphs, execution time analysis, loop optimizations, cache optimizations, power saving techniques, reducing data and code size, and testing. The presenter has a background in computer science and worked on projects involving embedded Java virtual machines, audio drivers, multimedia, and graphics.
This document summarizes why computer engineering students need to learn digital circuits. It discusses how computer systems have evolved from early 8-bit processors to today's multi-core CPUs and powerful GPUs. It then outlines the levels of abstraction in computer systems from transistors to software applications. It emphasizes the importance of hardware-software co-design to optimize performance, power efficiency, and other factors. Finally, it briefly discusses emerging computing platforms like ASICs, virtualization, and brain-inspired computers.
