Facebook is changing its name to Metaverse to highlight the vision of a future that will be lived in the cyberspace (along with life in the physical space). Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality, along with sensors, displays, artificial intelligence and Digital Twins, are the enabling technologies. The road towards a …

By 2025 industry is expecting to see a much greater impact of 5G, both private 5G in the production environment and public 5G to support products and services in operation; continuous growth of application of artificial intelligence, again both inside the company to improve efficiency of production and resilience/optimisation of …

5 years ago, back in 2017, I prepared a graphic summarising the expectations of several industry leaders I contacted, directly and indirectly through members of the Industry Advisory Board of the IEEE Future Direction Committee. The questions those leaders were asked to answer were prodding their feelings on the relative …

Most of what we take for granted, like picking up a banana at the grocery store, filling up our car, sipping a Coke on board a plane, is the magic of modern supply chains. It is not just about having what we want, it is also -most important- having a …

The evolution of Watson. It is an intelligent “machine” able to put its knowledge to use in several fields. The image shows the evolution of Watson’s application capabilities. Watson is now providing knowledge services in several areas, including healthcare. Image credit: IBM We come now to the second point: what …

Cognitive Digital Twins open up a whole new world. In these last 300 years we have developed amazing machines (our ancestors invented levers, the inclined plane, cogs, wheels, pullers and mills but the age of machines, as we understand them today, started with the industrial revolution as we learnt to …

The area of Personal Cognitive Digital Twins is very recent and is evolving rapidly. The Digital Reality Initiative was one of the first to study the aspect of representing knowledge owned by a person (and a company) in a digital form mapping it onto the IEEE knowledge ontology (some 14,000 …

In the last post I discussed the application of Digital Twins to people, modelling their physiological characteristics, with obvious application in Healthcare and in the previous one in this series the use of Digital Twins to model knowledge of machines, Cognitive Digital Twins -CDTs. It is time now to consider …
