Building upon existing and rapidly evolving technologies and architectures in the field Big Data, IoT, continuum computing, Artificial Intelligence, HCI, etc, new paradigms have emerged such as the Web3.0, the Metaverse, and the Spatial Web. These new and complementary paradigms are moving at speed light from fantasy literature to reality, and probably opening a new thread of opportunities and challenges for existing and emerging industries and our society. How does these 3 terms/paradigms...
The Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are heavily interwoven within every-day present life and tomorrow will impact even more. Predicting the next global tendency but need in society is key to IoT development.In a new Post-COVID era, IoT is accelerating and facilitating new trends such as home working, new mobility challenges and the digitalization of the economy. It also becomes more necessary for redesigning the new global supply chain, foster the collaboration and generate ne...
The truzzt:box uses the on-chip-based Intel SGX:enclave to process and ship data in federated data spaces. It ensures the highest standards of confidential processing of any data, especially sensitive data, enabling and enhancing an integrated data exchange ecosystem that connects data providers and data consumers via hardware-based controls from the web to the edge to the device.
By exploiting the properties of quantum physics, quantum technologies represent a fundamental paradigm shift, and also a promising and rapidly growing industrial sector. Recent advancements in this field are staggering and pose new challenges. For examples, quantum sensors exist for a long time and can be used in almost all industry areas and applications; photonics are key technologies for implementation of quantum communicatio...
Last August 2021 BDVA released his community position to the proposal for AI regulation supporting the idea of balancing between regulation and innovation. It is acknowledged the importance of trust and trustworthiness to boost investment and innovation. However, the cost, time, infrastructure, and knowledge needed to e.g. comply with the AI regulation may be burdensome. There is a risk that small companies, research and education organizations might not be able to easily follow and be aff...
