2. Agenda: Keynotes
• “Getting more than just higher data rates with 5g” by Dr. James H. Thompson,
CTO, Qualcomm.
• “Programmable forwarding planes are here to stay” by Professor Nick Mckeown,
Stanford University.
• “Security and privacy in the IoT” by Professor Elisa Bertino, Perdue University.
• “Bring 5g into reality” by Yongxing Zhou, VP, Huawei.

3. Summary
• 5G is here, but to enable 5G usecases requires more innovation and research:
Massive IoT, Automated vehicle, Industrial robots, AR/VR.
• Low latency applications (AR/VR, Industrial Robots, V2X) can’t be handled all in
Cloud. Such applications can’t be hosted in local machines as well. This makes
Edge computing/ Edge network, only possible solution.
• On demand intelligence is becoming very important. We need low latency
infrastructure closer to user to complement Cloud.
• Programable forwarding plane (P4, PISA) will change the way we design network
devices and protocols. This will bring more innovation to the field.
• Smart and wearable mobile devices, IoT introduces new security and privacy
concerns.
• 5G and supported features will unlock trillions of dollars worth industry via
connectivity and automation.
