Internet of things (IoT) and edge computing are advancing, allowing the computing to be performed closer to where the data is produced and apply analytics for processing the data. Adding edge processing to resource-constrained IoT devices brings new security issues and requires innovation and optimisation at the hardware, software and connectivity levels. The session gives an overview of the IoT evolutionary concepts, and the presentations focus on the challenges related to leveraging the ...

The rising awareness of climate change has caused the popularization of sustainability and the realization that we need to do things not only differently, but better.As focus shifts to finding solutions to climate issues, technological advancements and innovation present a promising way forward. The Internet of Things, for example, which Boston Consulting Group estimates will boom into an $267 bil...

As data becomes the new oil of the economy and a key asset to address societal challenges like mobility, energy, carbon-neutral cities and manufacturing, the EU must strive for a leading position in the data economy and cannot afford to have the data of its businesses, public sector and citizens stored and exploited from largely outside its borders. A strategy for on World-leading Data and Computing Technology is at the heart of the European policy strategy for

The IoT, edge and cloud computing technologies are likely to be global by design. A technology that is developed by focusing only the specific requirements of a regional market may face difficulties to be globally adopted. International collaboration allows researchers to exchange knowledge and combine perspectives to solve challenging problems, often of transversal nature. Nowadays, with a growing number of global challenges such as climate change, infectious diseases, energy and sustaina...

Personal data protection is a fundamental right. However, many companies routinely collect a growing number of personal data on EU residents and trade them as a commodity. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been adopted to better protect personal data and data subjects’ rights. The strong penalties of the GDPR now constitute a strong incentive and catalyst for making data processing comply with the regulation.Several solutions are merging from the research to support ...

The future technological developments will set several strategic choices related to new value networks and ecosystems, how value is created within companies and redistributed among industry players, countries and society.
