The document discusses emerging technologies anchored in the cloud and the challenges faced by the biopharma industry in regulatory development and financial areas. It then provides details on FlexDesk, a solution that allows single click device provisioning from any location along with examples of how FlexDesk helped Quintiles respond effectively to various crises situations around the world such as earthquakes in Chile and Japan as well as civil unrest in Egypt.
Charlotte Cio Executive Summit August 2011Rich_I_Thomas
This document summarizes Richard Thomas' presentation on emerging technologies anchored in the cloud. It discusses the challenges faced by the biopharma industry related to regulatory pressures, faster development timelines, and rising costs. It then outlines Quintiles' approach to addressing these challenges through a flexible cloud-based platform that allows access from any device, collaboration across systems, social media integration, and management of services rather than individual devices. The platform aims to standardize systems, allow bring your own IT, enable common sense social media use, implement a policy of trust but verify, and continue building out the Quintiles cloud.
Beyond Mobile, Beyond Web argues that mobile apps are too heavy, preventing just-in-time interaction. It suggests a perspective shift is needed from software to experience, and proposes an open discovery service combining native and web capabilities to enable ubiquitous, zero-pain experiences across smart devices through micro-functionality and liberated interactivity. This new model could be organized through a mix of open and closed systems using RESTful APIs and HTML for interaction and wireless broadcast for discovery.
Tech Tips 2 Defeat Distraction NAG 2020Brian Housand
This document discusses strategies for promoting productivity and creativity while reducing distraction from digital devices. It begins by outlining some of the negative impacts of excessive smartphone and social media use, such as only spending 2% of time creating and feeling constantly distracted. It then provides several solutions, including tracking app and screen time usage, creating boundaries by turning off notifications and scheduling email checks, focusing on one task at a time using the Pomodoro technique, reducing consumption by deleting unneeded apps or social media accounts, and collaborating with others on creative projects. The overall message is that digital technologies should serve our goals of learning, creating and problem-solving rather than distracting or limiting us.

How to Measure the Security of your Network DefensesPECB
To defend networks, we should be able to measure their security performance. I’m going to show you the exact techniques to measure the security of portions of your internal networks, such as anti-virus, malware and anomalous event detection. Then we will apply the same techniques to compare the security of classes of protective security products even though vendors don’t supply such specifications.
Main points covered:
• How to measure security and compare the effectiveness of protective devices as a function of time
• The internal process mechanism is immaterial to system measurement; signature-based A/V, rule-based binary decision making, heuristics, deep learning or any possible hybrid
• Attendees will be introduced and receive the math, the tools, charts and schematics on how to measure their own security

ICT itself now accounts for 10% of global energy demand - and climbing - controlling this impact is not yet a factor in systems design or in most CS curricula. I’m drawn by Computer Science's potential for addressing large scale societal challenges, such as climate change. In this talk I firstly offer a glimpse at the insights for Ubicomp and human-computer system design through the lens of our recent studies of energy use in the home, and of mobile data demand; and secondly, discuss ways in which we might evolve such systems to more profoundly challenge ‘the normal way’ energy is used.

The Future of Your Cybersecurity Career: Market Demand VS Talent Shortage
The world is currently lacking some 2 million cybersecurity experts. That number is expected to double shortly, as more cyber-kinetic and anthro-cyber-kinetic (people, cyber and physical) systems are productized for industry and mass consumption.
At the same time, cybersecurity practitioners have become laser-focused on insanely complex, highly verticalized, specific subsets of our industry. Rough translation: we tend to train and hire skill-set specialists versus security generalists. Security professionals often have trouble talking to each other because so many specializations use different nomenclatures, terms, and acronyms; dozens of technically disparate lingua francas. We have forgotten about teaching strategic generalities and interdisciplinarianism. Overspecialization and isolation from other technical fields are two clear recipes for failure.
This webinar examines a variety of skills and knowledge that will greatly assist the professional and benefit the cybersecurity field as well, by dealing in higher levels of abstraction versus highly specialized knowledge and practice.

Founder & Chief Evangelist, WideTag, Inc.
Intelligence Augmentation, Decision Power, And The Emerging Data Sphere
Human civilization depends on our ability to manage its increasing complexity. Behaviors, processes, and decisions that in the past were tolerated by the complex adaptive system we call Earth, are now more and more showing unforeseen consequences in unexpected places.
Many of our theories about the workings of the world are hampered in their predictive power by the lack of data, and suffer garbage-in, garbage-out effects. New interconnected sensor networks, fast, and ubiquitous communications, and the parallel power of our massive software systems are the never too soon answer to this need, and promise to revolutionize the way we understand, and act upon the planet.
The data sphere we are building, developing through every traceable action of millions of people, and billions, soon trillions of devices, designs a fine-grained picture of necessary understanding, and empowers us to believe that we can indeed aim to evolve our civilization, and to move it to the next levels of complexity, and achievement of human potential.
David Orban is an entrepreneur and visionary. He is Chairman of Humanity+, Advisor of the Singularity University, a Founder of WideTag, Inc., a high technology start-up company providing the infrastructure for an open Internet of Things. David shapes the strategic vision of its technologies by developing the policies and communication steps necessary to enable constructive progress. He is further a Scientific Advisory Board Member for the Lifeboat Foundation. David cuts across the limits of deep specialization to contribute to the new renaissance. He explains, “My vision is at the crossroads of technology and society as defined by their co-evolution.” David Orban’s personal motto is, “What is the question I should be asking?” This concept is his vehicle to accelerating cycles of invention and innovation in order to build the new world ahead.
Ethics in development of Information TechnologyAnKit Mhatre
When people are asked to give their opinion about technology as a whole, they seem to think in a more of a black-and-white way, a binary approach. Many people express that technology is more of a ‘job-destroyer’, ‘something which enslaves humans by making them dependent on itself’, some also say that it ‘makes us lazy and equips us with God-ly powers’, etc. However, in contrast to these points, other people claim that it’s ‘something which induces progress into the society’, ‘something that saves human lives and feeds the starving and the poor’, ‘which increases the standard of living’, and ‘which creates interesting and rewarding jobs’.
Speaking about the development, we, as people who are studying Information Technology, have learnt that the enormous field of Internet of Things (IoT) focusses on developing internet-connected applications which will make our lives easier and comfortable. In addition to the principles and practices which are expected to be followed during the development of the applications, there are some lesser emphasized facts too. These facts include an important factor of ETHICS.
Humans are accustomed to follow some ethics right from our birth, rather we are induced these ethics by our elders. The reason is quite simple – for the betterment of the society and to avoid any evil exploitation of the lesser intelligent people. However, modern capitalism tends to bend the traditional ethics. People resort to ease and comfort over what is right.
A lot of subtopics fall under the wide section of Ethics. They include:
1. Characterizing the Internet of Things
2. Privacy (Of the users as well as their valuable data)
3. Control (Who actually controls the collected data)
4. Environment (Concerns about the environment and practices)
5. Solutions (for the preservation of the principle of Ethics)
In this slide show, we are going to emphasize on the initial couple of topics.
1. Computers have evolved incredibly rapidly since Charles Babbage's time and are now involved in all aspects of daily life.
2. The document discusses the history of computer development from early mechanical computers through modern personal computers and supercomputers.
3. It also covers the emergence of computer networks and the Internet, and how these have transformed society into the digital information age.
This document discusses future computing technologies and challenges. It describes how current computing relies on silicon chips that will soon hit physical limits. Alternative technologies like quantum, photonic and neuromorphic computing are presented as possibilities to overcome these limits. A new university, SIT, is proposed to conduct research on these new computing paradigms through interdisciplinary partnerships. SIT aims to become a top research university and prepare students for leadership roles in technology companies through new advanced degree programs.
This document discusses the concept of the "Internet of Things" and how connecting everyday objects to the internet through sensors and communication capabilities could help address issues like environmental monitoring and sustainability. Specifically, it proposes a system that uses small wireless sensors powered by trees to monitor forests for fires, with the data transmitted between sensors and to a command center. It advocates for an open Internet of Things to give people a direct role in measuring issues like air pollution and climate change in order to motivate solutions.

24. In Toshio’s words
2:00 PM
We were spending busy Friday afternoon at the office.
2:46 PM
Advance earthquake alert signal rang on some of mobile phones.
2:46 PM
Suddenly, the office building moved & it was longer than usual.
The move continued more than 5 minutes and during that period
the building shake many times.
2:50PM
News on TV alerted to the possibility of
A huge tsunami & identified the
epicenter.
24
25. In Toshio’s words
2:52PM
Seems the earthquake stopped & we slowly started looking around.
I send quick SMS to my family & I was so glad to get back SMS.
2:54PM
We start checking for damage to our office and look around to
make sure everyone is safe
2:55PM
One of our fortunes was that we did not lose network connection or
power so we started checking news on the Internet to get more
information about the earthquake.
2:56PM
Right after earthquake, all elevators stopped & mobiles were
already hard to connect. 25
26. In Toshio’s words
2:58PM
We did not get any alerts from our systems so we recognized that
everything was working fine.
3:00PM
The company announced that everyone can go home.
3:02PM
I started working to check other floors and find some damage, but
not serious, while the first Tsunami
reached northern Japan.
3:20PM
Met with senior management and
reported no damage to IT.
After that when I look outside, I saw
smoke near our office. 26
27. In Toshio’s words
3:20PM
At same time as manager meeting, TV news told us that the huge
Tsunami was more than we expected and possibility of much death
in that area.
3:30PM
Back at my desk, some of our IT team start leaving office, but some
of them already decide to stay overnight at the office because
their homes were too far away to walk.
3:40PM
When they get outside of building they
see many people walking to their
homes with their emergency bag and
safety cap.
27
28. In Toshio’s words
3:46PM
1 hour past, TV news had been
showing us live image of northern
Japan & Tsunami. Death wave
destroy everything in that area, it was
hard to believe anyone could survive.
We were starting to realize that the
damage of this earthquake and
Tsunami were huge with the possibility
of more than 1,000 deaths.
5:00PM
In IT, most had now left the Office, 4 decided to stay because their
home was too far to walk.
28
29. In Toshio’s words
6:30PM
I left the office to find my family.
7:30PM
I met my family at the elementary school
which was our temporary shelter. All
of them were fine, even my 11 month old
baby. She was sleeping without knowing
what had happened on this day.
9:00PM
I could go to my home with my family. There was some damage on
the inside wall, glasses/dishes/plates broken & Books on floor.
However, I was really glad that I could be home with my family. I
know that there were thousands of people staying outside. <end>

32. SOCIAL : CRITICAL
Maps & apps to find shelters,
assess damage, navigate around
Twitter
search messages(invaluable)
Facebook & SNS
Not widely used, helped connect
while real-time communications out
especially with colleagues overseas
BUT - Radio was king! 32
