There is a lot of talk, and hype,  on the Metaverse. Also, what is, rather could be, the Metaverse is a point of discussion. In the Digital Reality Initiative we focussed on something that to us looks like a pretty good definition of the Metaverse: Digital Reality. At first glance …

One of the basic tenets of the Digital Transformation is that data, from an economic standpoint, are nonrival. If you eat a bread loaf that bread loaf is no longer available to anybody else. There is competition on that resources and the governance policy has to decide how that resource …

Data and processing have gone hand in hand since the very beginning of computers. As storage capacity grew, so grew the processing capacity and the other way round. Data links, first, and Internet later have decoupled storage and processing We can store data in a place, transmit them to a …

On December 9th, 2021, a flaw in a software library, Log4J, was discovered. This flaw was present, at that time, in over 100 million systems all over the world. On December 10th the  flaw was exploited by some hackers and within 3 days it had affected at least 830,000 systems. …

3. Manufacturing Manufacturing has been evolving smoothly since the industrial revolution experiencing some leaps when first electrification was introduced, then computarization of tools and more recently computarization of the whole plant (RPA Robotic Process Automation, still under deployment). Additionally, we have seen leaps in processes first with the assembly line …

On November 5th I will be presenting the outcome of discussions with several CEO/CTO/CIO that took place over the last 4 months as part of the FDC Industry Advisory Board -IAB- activity. In this blog series I will point out the main points soliciting your comments. The broad, and increasing, availability …

Processing is cheap, actually it is not! On the one hand we have seen a continuous decrease of processing cost but at the same time we have been increasing our (our applications) need for processing to the point that it made sense to create huge processing infrastructures that can be …

What volume of data are we talking about? The estimate at 2030 is between 1 to 2 TB of data per car per day! Today’s connected car have over hundred sensors and the estimate is a production of 25GB per hour. A mind boggling figure. At least four questions arise …

As mentioned in the previous post in this series, and as pointed out in the FTI’s report, the evolution trend for communications networks is shifting the focus to the edges. Hence, in this decade we can expect a growth of data processing at the edges, both in devices and in …

Working with smart machines From what I have discussed it is obvious that in this decade work will be intertwined more and more with intelligent machines (Machines used to include both hard -robot like- and soft -applications). As pointed out in previous posts, artificial intelligence extends the applicability of automation …
