It's hard not to talk to an enterprise customer these days without getting into a discussion about Mobile. By 2012, the shipment of smartphones and tablets is expected to exceed that of traditional personal computers, including laptops. Enterprise CIOs want to use these personal mobile devices to give better access to their internal data and processes for employees, as well as enabling better purchasing and support services for their customers. Complicating this is the variety of devices used, employees who wish to use their own devices at work, application level and device management, cost controls, and security concerns. In this session, Bob Sutor will discuss his views on the foundational needs of enterprises for a mobile application platform, mobile device management, and security.

Bee-2-X Communication - How wearables will turn Internet upside down

Peter Decker

Consumer owned devices, such as a Tablets, Connected Cars or Wearables will continue to have a significant share in number of connected devices per population head. Consumer owned connected devices will be valued on how they enrich the experience in everydays life for the end user. Highest Experience Value is achieved if devices can be easily mashed for personal use. The presentation includes an example on how beekeepers could utilise M2M to transform hidden parameters to important management decisions. The presentation concludes with some ideas on needed enablers for future IOT scenarios.

Enterprise & IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) Mobile networks: The Networks They Are a Changin' Dean Bubley, Disruptive Analysis Can businesses program, or even own, their own cellular infrastructure? Many aspects are making it much easier, with shared and unlicensed spectrum for private LTE, small cells, virtualised networks, programmable eSIMs and more numbering/identity options. Some industries have their own unique wireless needs, either across the wide area (eg utilities) or on major sites (oil & gas, airports etc) that are not easily-addressed by traditional telcos. Can they build and/or operate their own networks? Is this the ultimate “developer” play?

Companion to http://blog.airtightnetworks.com/impact-iot-enterprise-wi-fi "The Impact of IoT on Enterprise Wi-Fi." via AirTight blog. Choose your wireless network carefully. Cloud and APs are not all created equal. Clearly we’re not in Kansas anymore … According to IDC, the growing global Internet of Things (IoT) market is on course to hit $7.1 trillion by 2020. With the rapid rise of connected devices in the IoT landscape there is growing concern about elevated security risks associated with the sheer volume of new devices coming online.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*

Frank van Harmelen

Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”. All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
