The new Initiative launched by FDC-IEEE capitalises on the results achieved by the afore mentioned Digital Reality and Symbiotic Autonomous Systems and it is called Digital Reality: Fostering and leveraging the ongoing Digital Transformation. The Digital Transformation is affecting most businesses, many paths of life and is transforming our perception …

Today I am giving a keynote at the 2019 IEEE Jordan International Joint Conference on Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, presenting some of the outcomes of the IEEE FDC Symbiotic Autonomous Systems Initiative. Here a summary of the points I am making. =========== We have experienced a significant evolution in …

The big issue, facing today companies and organisations alike, is how to jump on the Digital Transformation bandwagon without disrupting their ongoing business. Starting from scratch is simply not an option if you have a company. You need to leverage on your company’s assets using them as a springboard. This …

Over the last 150 years communication infrastructures have become more and more pervasive to the point that most of the time people no longer take notice. One is now becoming aware of a communications infrastructure in those rare situations where … there is no communications infrastructure. The increased processing capabilities, …

Over the last 30 years we have become better and better in extracting data from the world around us. Sensors based on a variety of ever better (and cheaper) technologies can detect a variety of real world parameters and more recently data analytics, machine learning and deep neural networks have …

So, the Digital Transformation is already happening. Different industries and different organisations have been involved each one in its own way. Some might even have been spared so far by the wave that is getting wider and bigger. But even those will not be safe for ever. Now, why should …

Now Alexa and the likes are making talking to the ambient we live in normal. More than that, actually: they are leading us to expect that it is normal that the ambient answers our questions, execute what we are demanding of it. This is brought forward by advances in speech …

Yesterday I discovered this nice infographic produced by Drone Industry Insights where you can see the MANY threats in the area of drones. I would have never though there could be so many, even though looking at each single one I have to agree that the threat exists. One of …

Processing data costs close to nothing. If you have a huge amount of data you can extract meaning looking at relations. Think about knowing what medicine you are taking. It provides very little value, surely it does not provide any value to you swallowing the pill every day: you already …

At IEEE FDC the Symbiotic Autonomous Systems Initiative, SAS, is studying the interplay (symbioses) of machines and humans. There is a lot of technology involved but the real issues are not technological ones. Yes, there are plenty of technology hurdles but just wait a few more years (may be just …
