Enterprises are still dealing with the long-lasting impacts of the
pandemic. While remote working, resilient digital supply chain, and
optimized omnichannel business have accelerated over the past
year, companies that have adopted a Digital-First strategy and
pivoted to speeding up their business transformation are thriving
and are no longer suffocated by these pandemic transformation
requirements. On the other hand, those who are still locked in an
old-fashioned architecture continue to struggle to meet these
requirements and ultimately risk their long-term business success.
By examining examples of Digital First initiatives and use cases, one
will discover how these manufacturing business leaders are
enhancing their competitiveness in the industry.

Turtles all the Way Up – From OSGi bundles to Fog Computing - Tim Ward (Paremus)mfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2018 Presentation by Tim Ward (Paremus)
Abstract: The model of centralized cloud compute is changing. As large-scale IoT deployments have started to become real organizations are realizing that a single central cloud can’t cope with the data security, data volumes, latency or robustness that they need for their businesses. Centralizing in a single cloud also offers a huge operational risk – if the cloud fails, their business must continue!
This talk will introduce BRAIN-IoT, an EU Horizon 2020 funded project. BRAIN-IoT uses the latest OSGi R7 specifications to create an adaptive modular “Fog” environment with decentralized data processing and decision making. We’ll review the current design decisions made by the BRAIN-IoT team, including the issues concerning generic Edge Device discovery & integration, and see how they can be applied across different IoT use cases, including Smart Utilities and Industry 4.0 Factories of the Future.
To unlock the value from your Industrial IoT initiative, it’s paramount that operational insights are instantly gained from machine generated data that let you make critical decisions in real-time to the advantage of your business. Learn from practical use cases how seamless communications between assets from any corner of the globe, the machinery that analyses the data and the systems and people at the very heart of your business are a key element of successful IoT platforms that scale from initial pilots to global rollouts.

Vaidyanathan Krishnamoorthy, Edge Inference Solutions Architect at Intel, presents the “Federated Edge Computing System Architectures” tutorial at the September 2020 Embedded Vision Summit.
With ever-increasing amounts of video and other sensor data, and growing requirements for privacy and low latency, inferencing at the edge is increasingly attractive. But there are many ways to allocate and coordinate computing resources for edge inferencing. For example, to achieve scale and fault tolerance, design principles from cloud computing can be applied to create compute clusters at the edge that are managed by the cloud, an approach called “federated computing.”
In this talk, Krishnamoorthy explores a range of edge computing system architectures, with a focus on federated computing. He illustrates how these system architectures utilize Intel CPUs and accelerators to address real-world use cases in retail and industrial applications.

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.

•Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand
network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources
(e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be
rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or
service provider interaction. This cloud model promotes availability and
is composed of five essential characteristics, three service models, and
four deployment models.
•Note 1: Cloud computing is still an evolving paradigm. Its definitions, use cases, underlying
technologies, issues, risks, and benefits will be refined in a spirited debate by the public and private
sectors. These definitions, attributes, and characteristics will evolve and change over time.
•Note 2: The cloud computing industry represents a large ecosystem of many models, vendors, and
market niches. This definition attempts to encompass all of the various cloud approaches
