Steven de Haes, University of Antwerp – Abstract: Disruptive new technologies are increasing and have an important influence on the business we are doing. Previously, the board could delegate, ignore or avoid it, but that is no longer the case. Yet, it seems that 80%…

Alexander V. Veidenbaum, University of California at Irvine – Abstract: Today’s general-purpose microprocessors support vector (SIMD) instructions. This creates opportunities for developing new compilation approach to mitigate the impact of faults on cryptographic implementations, which is subject of this work. A compiler-based approach is proposed…

Ivan Beschastnikh , University of British Columbia – Abstract: Much of today’s software runs in a distributed context: mobile apps communicate with the cloud, web apps interface with complex distributed backends, and cloud-based systems use geo-distribution and replication for performance, scalability, and fault tolerance. However,…

Daniel Sobral, Gulbenkian Science Institute – Abstract: In Biology, like in many disciplines, technological advances are generating a flurry of new data. Many researchers in Biology are having a hard time processing and integrating these new massive datasets to obtain biological insights. The Bioinformatics Unit…

Esther Pacitti, INRIA & CNRS, University Montpellier – Abstract: With the advent of Web 3.0, the Internet of things, and citizen science applications, users are producing bigger and bigger amounts of diverse data, which are stored in a large variety of systems. Since the users’…

, SOFTBANK ROBOTICS EUROPE (SBR) – Abstract: Title: End User Expectations From the Social Robotics Revolution: an Industrial Perspective Never before in the history of robotics, robots have been so close to us, in our society. We are ‘evolving’, so as our society, lifestyle and…

Sylvain Calinon , EPFL – École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne – Abstract: Many human-centered robot applications would benefit from the development of robots that could acquire new movements and skills from human demonstration, and that could reproduce these movements in new situations. From a machine…

Claudio Silva, New York University – Abstract: The large volumes of urban data, along with vastly increased computing power, open up new opportunities to better understand cities. Encouraging success stories show that data can be leveraged to make operations more efficient, inform policies and planning,…

Richard (Hao) Zhang, Simon Fraser University – Abstract: Computer graphics is traditionally defined as a field which covers all aspects of computer-assisted image synthesis. An introductory class to graphics mainly teaches how to turn an explicit model description including geometric and photometric attributes into one…

, – Abstract: Title: Exaflops, Zettabytes and microseconds – Preparing to capitalize on simultaneous regime change in Computing Exascale supercomputers transforming science and industry, intelligent social infrastructure comprised of tens of billions autonomous agents hosting artificial intelligences devouring Zettabytes of information in real time. Unprecedented…
