Conferencia Colombiana de Comunicaciones y Computación - Colcom
IEEE Colcom 2020 - Virtual
IEEE Colombia has chosen Cali as the venue for the 13th IEEE Colombian Conference on Communications and Computing COLCOM 2020. This conference is the most important in Colombia that aims to show the progress and development of the academic, scientific and industrial usage of the different areas of telecommunications and computing. In this version, the main subject is “Digital Transformation“.
During the past decade, Cali has gained national and international recognition for its potential to become one of the most important cities in Latin America and the Pacific in terms of logistics, manufacturing, and the creative industry. Cali, main city of the Pacific region of Colombia, known as a commercial, service and cultural hub, offers a vivid and dynamic environment for the creation of innovative solutions, a wide variety of economic sectors, including both small and large companies as well as the agricultural industry, a growing ICT ecosystem, and high-quality universities.

The Modern Automobile is the Most Complex Cyber Physical System (CPS)
The automotive industry is undergoing a technological revolution with exponentially increasing electronic content and interconnected embedded systems in support of current and future complex electrified, connected and autonomous systems. This is in contrast with the relatively simple stand-alone computing systems that once controlled basic engine and chassis functions.
In this talk, examples of new and emerging automotive systems will be discussed to show that these systems are evolving to become highly cyber-physical in nature, and perhaps represent some of the most sophisticated cyber-physical systems that exist. These technologies are considered foundational to future Intelligent Transportation Systems and have a huge potential to impact the industry and society.
Before we get into such specific examples, the talk will quickly cover the motivations or market drivers which let the automotive systems to move into the CPS space.

IoT goes to space: A revision of the challenges to enable IoT connectivity from nano-satellites constellations
The Future Internet concept involves the evolution of Internet connectivity worldwide. Global coverage and always-on connectivity are now envisioned to almost everything on Earth, including critical infrastructure, natural resources, everyday objects, processes, and people. Large-scale Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations have shown its potential as an expansion of terrestrial networks to address the lack of coverage in remote regions and the vulnerability of terrestrial networks in cases of natural disasters. Constellations of nano and small satellites are being deployed to expand the range of possible services provided by space communications infrastructure, in aspects such as machine-to-machine communications, emergency communications, remote monitoring, and remote device controlling, among others. This talk focuses on the segment of LEO constellations that intend to remain as a low-cost solution for IoT connectivity of wide-area and power-constrained sensor (and actuator) networks. The focus is on the direct-to-satellite access mode, where the sensor nodes are equipped for communicating directly with the satellite. We will address challenging aspects related to the first three layers of a typical communications system: physical, link, and network layers, in the context of IoT networks served by LEO constellations.
