The DATE 2017 Special Day on IoT will be kicked-off by perspective talks from academia and industry sharing their views and experience from backgrounds of large distributed sensor networks and cognitive computing. The entire spectrum of IoT devices and computing, storage and communication infrastructure, from smallest form factor sensors to Cloud backbone systems will be considered

08:30	5.1.1	DESIGN FOR IOT Author: Lothar Thiele, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, CH Abstract If visions and forecasts of industry come true then we will be soon surrounded by billions of interconnected embedded devices. We will interact with them in a cyber-human symbiosis, they will not only observe us but also our environment, and they will be part of many visible and ubiquitous objects around us. We have the legitimate expectation that the individual devices as well as the overall system behaves in a reliable and predictable manner. This is an indispensable requirement as it is infeasible to constantly maintain such a large set of devices. In addition, there are many application domains where we rely on a correct and fault-free system behavior. We expect trustworthy results from sensing, computation, communication and actuation due to economic importance or even catastrophic consequences if the overall system is not working correctly, e.g., in industrial automation, distributed control of energy systems, surveillance, medical applications, or early warning scenarios in the context of building safety or environmental catastrophes. Finally, trustworthiness and reliability are mandatory for the societal acceptance of human-cyber interaction and cooperation. It will be argued that we need novel architectural concepts, an associated design process and validations strategies to satisfy the strongly conflicting requirements and associated design challenges of platforms for CPS: Handle at the same time limited available resources, adaptive run-time behavior, and predictability. These challenges concern all components of an IoT system, e.g., computation, storage, wireless communication, energy management, harvesting, sensing and sensor interfaces, and actuation. The talk will be driven by examples from various application domains such as smart watches, zero-power systems, environmental sensing, and air pollution sensing.
09:15	5.1.2	THE INTERNET OF THINGS IN THE COGNITIVE ERA Author: Alesandro Curioni, IBM Zurich Research, CH Abstract Over next few years, the Internet of Things will become the biggest source of data on the planet. That's where IBM's Watson cognitive computing system comes in. Watson uses machine learning and other techniques to understand this data and turn it into insight, which can help automate tasks, enable manufacturers to design better products, innovate new services and enhance our overall quality of life. And with cognitive technologies, interactions with 'things' through natural language and voice commands will dramatically improve. This presentation will focus on how innovators in the design automation and embedded systems space can benefit from this trend and get access IBM Watson in the cloud.
