IoT is everywhere, from smart meters on houses to parking sensors in the ground – all devices are connected to the Internet. Internet engineers are helping traditional industries solve new industrial world challenges by connecting billions of new devices. An exciting part of the IoT journey is the integration between both worlds: Information Technology (IT) and Operation Technology (OT). For that a systems approach is required to scale the existing Internet infrastructure to accommodate IoT use cases, while making IT technology easy to adopt for OT operators.
In this session you will learn:
IoT infrastructure challenges and the need for open standards and partner ecosystem
Key elements to build large-scale IoT systems as IPv6, access control, plug and play, distributed intelligence and contextual awareness
Introduction to fog computing and advantages of extending cloud computing and services
Looking ahead to the future

Major capital projects continue to be over budget and behind schedule, meanwhile, discussions on how to improve center on better collaboration between the OO/EPC/Constructor, contractingstrategies and better upfront design definition.
This presentation covers how technology is disrupting the capital project execution landscape with potential savings of 10% of total project installed cost (TIC). These savings are made available through the optimization of data-centric engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction and commissioning strategies enabled by the Cloud, advanced analytics to measure progress in real time, augmented and virtual reality for breaking down silos between engineering and the field.
Are we truly ready to embrace industry 4.0 to not only thrive in today’s marketplace but, more importantly, to survive?
How public cloud infrastructure adoption and software, technology asset management is changing the way business is being conducted. Which behaviors will determine the winners and those that won't survive.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
