Abstract
Engineer is a verb; a doing word. So Engineering is about creating actual economically viable solutions to societal or individual needs ... using only the technologies and tools available. Not all engineers are equal, so neither are their children. Solutions are the result of individual acts of creativity; and the good ones always uniquely balance functionality, with innovation, cost, quality and time. Invented in the 1940's, then subjected to an irresistible logarithmic pressure now known as Moore's Law, the transistor underpins todays ubiquitous Electronic Systems. These billion transistor commodity ICs are the impressive result of generations of engineers exploiting the physical and mathematical sciences available to them. But there are many other technologies which are equally vital to these systems; and many with histories only marginally less stunning. The simple and sleek interfaces of today’s Electronic Systems, bely the immense technical complexity beneath; a complexity way beyond any single company or geographic region to deliver. Their creation demands the creative contribution from teams of specialist engineers wherever they are in the world they occur ... an orchestration of invisible virtuosos, producing an inaudible technical symphony! Technologies continue to advance and as they do they offer unique potential to satisfy societies insatiable demand; for more, better, cheaper, faster. Can we continue to meet these demands? What kinds of engineers will we need to do it? And can they be cast; or must they be individually carved?Biography
Prof. Ian Phillips, FIET, FIMA, SMIEE, CEng. is Principal Staff Engineer at ARM Ltd of Cambridge in the UK, where his role is to nurture strategic technology and opportunities until their business value can be quantified. He left school at 15 without formal qualifications, was apprenticed in electronics from 1965-69, and graduated with a 1st from University of Wales - Swansea, in 1975. He then joined Pye-TMC as an electronic design engineer; continuing as a designer and design manager through Philips, Plessey, GEC and Mitel through the exhilarating years of this technology's evolution. He joined ARM in 1998; a company at the forefront of technology and where his breadth experience is regularly challenged. Reporting directly to the CTO, his role has a very outward face and he is involved with many European Research Universities, Institutions and Government Bodies, as both advisor and technology scout. He is a frequent presenter on European stages; an advocate of improved University/Industry relationships; a Visiting Professor at the Universities of Liverpool and Plymouth; and the winner of the 2008 NMI award for his personal Contribution to Industry.Keynote Speaker
Abstract
The incorporation of parallel and distributed computing (PDC) technology into the daily lives of users via their smartphones, wireless networks, mobile devices, social networking sites, cloud, etc., has made it imperative to impart a broad-based skill set in PDC technology at various levels in the educational fabric. However, rapid advances in computing technology and services challenges educators’ abilities to know what to teach in any given course or a session. In the push to cope with the fast-changing PDC technology, various stakeholders, including employers, face similar challenges in identifying basic expertise. The curricular guidelines developed by the NSF/TCPP working group seek to address this challenge in a manner that is flexible and broad, with allowance for variations in emphasis to accomodate different curricular cultures.The first version of PDCS curricular guidelines was released in 2012. Over 100 institutions from the U.S. and from around the world have taken the initiative to evaluate the guidelines and to create templates as to how these topics can be adopted in various courses across the curriculum. A courseware site has been launched for contributions and download of relevant educational material, and a CDER book project is aiming to publish chapters and essays on PDC topics both for instructors and students in lower level core courses to address the lack of suitable textbooks. The recently released CS2013 ACM/IEEE Computer Science Curricula leverages the NSF/TCPP curriculum and provides a direct hyperlink to it for reinforcing its PDC coverage. In this talk we will discuss these efforts and look at a few samples.

Abstract
The Internet-of-Things (IoT) is referred to as digital microprocessors and sensors embedded in everyday objects. Billions of such objects are envisioned to be connected through the internet, harvesting data about the physical world which is then analyzed in the cloud. But this is a rather narrow vision, as we are now entering an age where everyday objects continuously will communicate with, and control, other objects over a global data network, effectively realizing real-time networked information and computation. This will allow a complete integration of things, people, systems and real-time real-world inputs.This talk will outline how smart connected objects give us new ways to measure, monitor, understand and optimize our body and general health. Technological developments and the convergence between different technologies, will radically change our view on health and the health system, from todays intermittent reactive system to a continuous proactive system. This will shift the focus from treatment to prevention, ensuring a healthy and secure life.
