3. Dr.johnbarrett:"theinternetof
things”
As both the head of academic studies at the Nimbus Centre for
Embedded Systems Research at CIT and group director of the
Centre’s Smart Systems Integration Research Group, Dr. John
Barrett is more than credentialed to discuss IoT technologies
and their impact on integrated smart systems. Barrett provides
an “all-inclusive” talk on the IoT, discussing both basics and
implications for the future.

4. Kevinkelly:"the next5,000daysofthe
web”
Though originally presented in 2007, Kevin Kelly’s “Next 5,000
Days” discussion is timeless in its themes of forward thinking,
accountability, and adaptability with regards to a prevailing form of
technology. Kelly predicates his talk on a single fascinating stat:
“the world wide web (as we knew it at the time) is only 5,000 days
old;” he then challenges audiences to think about the next 5,000
days and what they may hold, and when applied to IoT
implications, this way of idea is enduringly relevant.

5. rodolpheel-khoury:"designingforthe
internetofthings”
Rodolphe el-Khoury, director of urban design for the University of
Toronto’s Daniels Faculty, is “renowned for his design work,” and
this background proves very useful as he presents his sentiments
on IoT design and usability. In short, el-Khoury touches on the
specific architectural demands stemming from IoT technologies,
rooting the discussion on the “human desire to simplify and
beautify technology” by consistently folding into otherwise routine
aspects of our daily lives.
