12:00 PM – Keynote: How the Internet of Things is Driving Energy Efficiency Into SOC Designs
Ron Lowman, Solutions Architect, Synopsys
There are many innovative ways to lengthen battery life and reduce energy costs for connected devices. These techniques can enable new applications with features that increase the user experience while adding a pipeline to a connected world. New investments are playing a major role into improving application efficiency that in turn increase the capability to provide more value add functions for both wearables and machine-to-machine applications. We will look at some of the innovative design considerations that are being implemented such as low-power process technologies; low-power memories and logic libraries; and low-power sensing, processing, and communications engines with advanced power modes. Collecting massive amounts of data will affect nearly every aspect of our lives. IoT is connecting manufacturing floors, energy grids, healthcare facilities, transportation systems, and more to the Internet. This connectivity means more data, gathered from more places, with more ways to increase efficiency, improve safety and security, and drive positive business outcomes. We will discuss the need for a new approach to deal with the incredible amount of data coming from the IoT.
12:30 PM – Keynote: Dealing with the Internet of Things Data Tsunami
Kip Compton, Vice President/General Manager, Internet of Things (IoT) Systems & Software, Cisco Systems, Inc.
The Internet of Things is predicted to be a bigger market force than the Internet. Billions of previously unconnected sensors and devices collecting massive amounts of data will affect nearly every aspect of our lives. IoT is connecting manufacturing floors, energy grids, healthcare facilities, transportation systems, and more to the Internet. This connectivity means more data, gathered from more places, with more ways to increase efficiency, improve safety and security, and drive positive business outcomes. We will discuss the need for a new approach to deal with the incredible amount of data coming from the IoT.
1:15 PM – Lunch
2:15 PM – Panel: Will The IoT Be Secure Enough?
Edward Sperling, Editor in Chief, System-Level Design and Editorial Director, Low-Power Engineering, panel moderator
Lawrence Loh, Cadence Design Systems
Oleg Logvinov, Director, Special Assignments, STMicroelectronics
Sami Nassar, General Manager, NXP Semiconductors
The benefit of connecting everything is a great value to consumers, but only if the enormous risk for massive and widespread security breaches is reduced. That will require an understanding of how to deal with breaches at every level and for every piece of a rapidly changing technology stack. What’s the problem, where the weakest links are, and what needs to be done to fix them.
3:15 PM – Keynote: If it Ain’t Broke: How do you sell a smart lightbulb when no one thinks their bulbs are dumb?
Stacey Higginbotham, Writer, GigaOM
The tech world is excited about the Internet of Things, as are industrial giants like GE or Philips. But for most consumers, the idea of paying more for a connected device that doesn’t offer much new functionality (I can turn it on from my smart phone!) and opens them up to security risks seems like a tough sell. Has the marketing gotten ahead of the hype?
3:45 PM – Keynote: Web Architecture for an Internet of Things
Michael Koster, Architecture and Standards, Architecture and Standards, IoT Group, ARM
The Internet and World Wide Web provide scalability, interoperability, and reusable software, while enabling innovation and broad participation at many levels. We are expecting no less from an Internet of Things. What are the essential qualities of the architecture of the World Wide Web that can be applied to create an Internet of Things reference architecture that imparts these qualities? What are the fundamental design patterns and key architectural features that can be leveraged and reused?
4:15 PM – Keynote: IEEE-SA, the Platform for the 21st Century
Bruce Kraemer, Senior Manager of Strategic Marketing, Marvell; President-Elect, IEEE Standards Association

Dennis Brophy, Director of Strategic Business Development, Mentor Graphics
Yatin Trivedi, Director of Standards and Interoperability Programs, Synopsys
Stan Krolikoski, Distinguished Engineer, Cadence Design Systems
Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools, technology, and flows in combination with Semiconductor Intellectual Property (IP) underpin the electronics industry with well-known and used standards. Are these standards ready to support IoT device development? Is the use of the current set of standards a hindrance to IoT reality? Is there a lack of standards to hinder the development of the next wave of electronic systems to power IoT? The panelists will explore answers to these questions and more.

2:15 PM – Keynote: Open Source, Open Standards and the Internet of Things
Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director, Eclipse Foundation
Open standards are going to be crucial for the evolution and adoption of the Internet of Things. However, while open standards are necessary they are not sufficient. The technologies which succeed in the marketplace will be supported by both open standards and freely available open source implementations. In addition, the IoT will need to recruit millions of new developers, and many of those will come from domains where open source components, frameworks, and solutions are the norm. This keynote will examine the relationship between open-source implementations and the IoT.

In its current, early form, the Internet of Things does not seem to have consistent business or technology vectors as different constituents stake out claims in this vast opportunity space. Focus areas vary widely from equipping end-nodes with optimized CPUs, to machine-to-machine communications, to cloud and app connectivity, to big data analytics. Many business models will be explored, but, in the absence of standards, a lot of innovation and effort will be wasted. Are there opportunities in IoT to agree on the standards and funnel the creative energy in a way that would maximize user benefits and business upside? Should business models drive standards activities or the other way around? Are there some obvious areas like API management, billing infrastructure, and security that should be tackled first? Who are the true stakeholders that should be driving the standards? Cloud providers, wireless carriers, end node designers, app developers, data miners? Join us as the panelists weigh in on these themes and more.
