Autonomous vehicle safety and security: An information Processing imperative 18 October 15:00-16:15 CEST Worldwide, over 1.35 million people lose their lives each year to roadway traffic accidents. Autonomous vehicles have the potential to drastically reduce this carnage by leveraging breakthrough advancements in computational power, algorithms and sensing technologies. However, there is a significant hurdle: a lack of governance by national regulatory bodies to guide dependable and secure design, construction and operation of autonomous vehicles. This panel of global experts, organized by the leaders of a WG10.4 project on this subject, will discuss information processing advancements that are imperative to the…

Trends on Computing Systems 25 October 17:00-18:15 CEST The panel will focus on computing system trends responding to the demand for lower power and higher performance in the Internet of Things (IoT) world. The panelists will touch several innovative aspects of computing, such as new ultra-efficient, many-core 3D architectural designs for the next-generation of eco-friendly servers inspired by mammalian brains, and principled approaches to incorporate self- and situational-awareness to ensure safety and reliable deployment of computational (software and hardware) platforms. They will address viability, expected performance and power consumption of such promising computing systems as well as their economic, social…
