Towards Smart and Connected Urban centres

Charlie Sheridan
Director IoT systems research lab
Intel

Abstract
We are experiencing the largest demographic population shift in history of mankind, driven by the mass movement of people from rural to urban centres. This mass movement to urban centres shall drive the requirement for adaptive and responsive infrastructure which will be paramount for capacity, prosperity and liveability of our future cities A key technology trend which shall enable these future urban centres is the Internet of Things (IoT) driven by the explosion in growth of connected things / devices, projected to reach 50 billion+ devices by 2020. This talk shall cover the future challenges, technology trends and opportunities for technology companies with these new Urban IoT centres of the future.

The Right Security for Smart Cities

Juergen Spaenkuch
Vice President of the Chipcard & Security Division
Infineon Technologies AG

Abstract
A smart city is based on the vision to connect a multitude of information and communication (ICT) technology solutions with physical devices in order to manage a cities assets in an intelligent way. These assets can include schools, hospitals, local governmental information systems, waste management, power plants and water supply networks, all of which are managed through an ICT network. This comes along with vast amounts of data being collected and then transferred, processed and analyzed, including data on individual citizens and critical infrastructure data. To protect this data and therefore enable the operation of the different systems and services, data security and system integrity are essential for the successful implementation of the Internet of Things in city infrastructures. Smart Cities with their complexity come with a large amount of attack surfaces and one of the main weaknesses that could be turned around is the current lack of smart technology including strong security functionalities. Current technology often comes without security functionality or is based on pure software-based security. Unfortunately, software - due to its nature - bears several significant weaknesses. Software is written code, and code can be read and analyzed. And once it is analyzed, it can be modified to the requirements of an attacker and system integrity can be broken. However, software can be protected by hardware: hardware protects the processing and storage of code by using encryption, fault and manipulation detection, and by providing secured data storage. This has been proven by extensive experience from the areas of trusted computing and the use of secure elements in mobile phones. Following the same principles, hardware-based security tailored to ICT requirements provides a trust anchor for digitized and connected cities and helps to secure citizens privacy, efficient operations and public safety as well as economic stability.

How understanding application-based challenges centered around ICT leads to pinpointing challenges and opportunities for the semiconductor industry.

Patrick Grosa
Project Manager "fast techtransfer"
TU Dresden

Abstract
Making cities smarter means a great deal to the communications industry. Thousands, even millions, of devices and a changing paradigm from content consumption, and recently content generation, towards the control and steering era will change the face of cities around the globe. Smart Grids, V2X communications, 5G, (mobile edge) clouds, Big Data, Industry 4.0, IoT, IoE, and many more, are only a few buzzwords wandering around these times. However, the next step in ICT is not limited to the communication industry but rather a convergence of multiple, previously separate, industry fields centering around ICT. Upcoming visions, ideas and business models of the future will change routines, daily life and finally the society. The understanding of these applications and their challenges, especially from communications point of view, will lead to the separation of wheat from the chaff for industries and companies, which is in particular true for the semiconductor industry. The better the challenges of others are understood, the better the semiconductor industry can prepare and define their own challenges. Different application yield to different requirements in terms of costs, energy consumption, speed, latency, environmental aspect, supported technologies and so on. This talk should clarify the vision of smart cities in the near and far future and should help to foster innovation through the identification of challenges but more importantly opportunities technology- and business-wise.

Biografie
Patrick Grosa graduated in Information Systems Engineering from Technische Universität Dresden in 2009. Afterwards, he joined the Vodafone Chair for Wireless Communications, where he wrote his PhD thesis on protograph-based LDPC convolutional codes under the supervision of Prof. Gerhard Fettweis. During his time at the chair, he was working in German government funded and industry projects. He was also the major organizer of the IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2013-Spring in Dresden), the semi-annual flagship conference of the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society. Since July 2015, he is involved in the management of the cluster project “fast – fast actuators sensors and receivers” within the framework program “Twenty20 – Partnership for Innovation” of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), which is funded with 45 Mio EUR. Besides being involved in the strategical advancement of the cluster, his main focus is the innovation management and technology transfer in the cluster. fast, which is coordinated by Prof. Ellinger and Prof. Fettweis, deals with basic research on real-time systems and their applications in the field of connectivity, manufacturing, traffic, and health. Furthermore, Patrick is pursuing an Executive MBA in the part-time MBA program from HHL Graduate School of Management, Leipzig, Germany.
