The Future of the Internet of Things: Desirable Properties of an IoT Ecosystem - Vint Cerf

#Bell #Labs #Shannon #Luminary #Lecture #Series #North #Jersey #Information #Theory.

In honor of Claude Shannon – the father of information theory and arguably of all communications and networked systems – Bell Labs has created the Shannon Luminary Lecture Series and Award, to explore all topics of high impact and relevance to the future of human existence, with an annual series of ten talks by the leading visionary researchers, developers, thinkers and entrepreneurs from all fields of scientific, technological, engineering, mathematical, or related artistic endeavor.

The March 2018 lecture will be given by Vint Cerf, who is widely known as a "Father of the Internet", and a highly celebrated co-designer of TCP/IP protocols and Internet architectures.

In his Shannon lecture, Vint Cerf will describe the role of design as a way to bring human benefit to a rapidly changing world.

Abstract.

Software arose as a way to compute business and engineering problems more quickly. But it has become ubiquitous across billions of devices – in our homes, cars, workplaces, and in our hands – providing instant information, entertainment, and keeping us in continuous contact. This spread of automation has fueled a massive rise in productivity, but it has also sown the seeds of vulnerabilities with bugs, some innocuous, some serious, and some fatal. Are there remedies? Software is beginning to detect bugs and even produce bug-free software. Fault-tolerant infrastructure is emerging. And we will eventually find ways to test the innumerable combinations of devices that work together. I will explore these thoughts even as the IoT tsunami continues largely unabated.

The presentation will be held in the Hamming Innovation Hall on the Murray Hill Bell Labs Campus.

Prior awardees include Eric Schmidt, Irwin Jacobs, Bob Metcalfe, Amber Case, Henry Markram, Zhenan Bao, Yann LeCun, David Eagleman, Stephen Friend, and Brian Collins.

As space is limited, please confirm your attendance as soon as possible. Registration will close as soon as the capacity of the Hamming Innovation Hall has been reached, or, at the latest, by Mar. 13.
