What is wearable technology?
Simply put, it’s technology that you incorporate into things you wear on a day-to-day basis, and it could be anything from a smart watch, augmented reality glasses, or even a personal health monitor in the form of a bracelet.
The idea is that technology will increasingly become more part of our daily lives, and it will become less intrusive, as it will be part of our clothing, and sometimes even part of our bodies!
Wearable tech presents a fascinating field to study. I have conducted some researches and hope you can also learn more about this high growth market.

Bring Your Own Device is a disruptive phenomenon that is a significant IT trendMartin Perry
BYOD is the concept that employees (or students) will bring and use their own mobile devices (such as laptops, tablets, and smart phones) to their workplace (or college). These devices are used to access privileged company information and applications on the company's (or academic institute's) IT infrastructure; there is a challenge to balance the demand to be connected to everything with proper accountability or oversight to protect the company's (academic institute's) IT assets.
This webinar will analyse the demand for BYOD, driven by factors such as:
• Pervasive connectivity
• Globalisation
• Workforce Age profile and expectations
• Employee work life integration
• The growth in personal devices connected to web [consumerisation of IT]
• Change in our relationships with the outside world
• Impact on the porosity of the border between private life and work.
And how the balance can be struck between this demand for BYOD, and the need to protect IT assets.
This webinar was first hosted with the Warwick Technology Professional Network of the Warwick Business School wbs.ac.uk
Part of the University of Warwick, we have an international reputation for top quality education and research in management and business.
The “Internet of Things” , IoT, is one of the most discussed trends today, affecting virtually any industry.It enables us to personalize, customize and remote-control virtually any aspect of our lives.
This presentation aims to explore:
what is IoT?
where is the trend headed?
How can industries such as hospitality, financial services and insurance, automotive, and others, use IoT?
What is the added value for the consumer?
The Internet of Things: the 4 security dimensions of smart devicesWavestone

Pete Wassell (Augmate Corportation) Security in the Enterprise Smart GlassesAugmentedWorldExpo
While companies have made significant strides with mobile device security software on smart phones and tablets, the wearables category is a different story. Personal data, customer data, and sensitive corporate information is at risk with data leaks exposed at multiple end points. There are a number of factors contributing to this situation that we will look at in this presentation as well as best practices to address them. The miniaturization of sensors and cameras and unprecedented connectivity have created a scenario where data can be captured and stored very easily, and at times unwittingly, by users. Lack of policies and careless use of enterprise wearables can be more of a security risk than cyber criminals. The trend of this problem will likely get worse, market forecasts show that IoT devices and wearables will surpass volumes of mobile devices over the next few years. The great promise and benefits of these devices coupled with privacy and security concerns make this technology a double edge sword.

There's a need for more information about the wearable tech industry.
Over the past few months I've met countless entrepreneurs that don't know where to gather information from, I've met investors and VCs that are unaware of what's going on and therefor are unwilling to take risks and invest where its most needed, i.e, in the pre/seed stages, where all the wearable startups are actually are, this year and next year.
Because of this reason (but not only) Israel is very much behind Silicon Valley in this industry and it needs to change and one of the ways to change this is by building a community and pushing knowledge and education.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

29. Wearables can not work alone
• Brain - most devices have zero to very little processing power, memory,
storage, and battery
• Engagement – multi modal interactions for seamless integrated user
experience between wearables, mobile, and IoT
• Connectivity – most devices have only low range connectivity
28
30. Wearable can not always rely on the cloud
• Performance
– Many applications requires near-real-
time processing
– Local processing is required to
minimize latency
• Connectivity
– Need to operate in remote locations,
including rural areas underground and
in the sea
• Reliability
– Safety & Healthcare applications
require high availability
– Can’t count on network & server
availability
• Efficiency
– Devices may generate hundreds of
events every second, most are
irrelevant for server processing
– Transmitting this amount of data
overloads the communication and the
server
• Power consumption
– Transmitting this amount of data
drains the batteries
• Privacy
– Part of the data needs to be securely
handled and in some case obfuscated
29
31. The wearable platform – the new I/O for cognitive
Wearable-enabled enterprise solution use the compute power of the
smartphone to
• Interpret raw data from Wearables into meaningful insight that can be
acted upon.
• Enable multi modal interactions for seamless integrated user experience
between wearables and mobile devices
30
32. Privacy
• Privacy Principles – Data subject (person) has the
right to be informed when his personal data is being
processed.
• Consent - Data may be processed only when the
data subject has given his consent, is necessary for
a contract, needed for compliance with a legal
obligation, or is necessary for a task carried out for
public interest
– Only for legitimate purposes
• Proportionality - The data processed and the time
for which it is stored should be no more than
required for the stated purpose
• Marketing Opt-out - The data subject can object at
any time to the use of personal data for direct
marketing purposes
