The introduction and broad scale rollout of IoT applications puts pressing demands on semiconductor base technologies for computation, communication and sensing in terms of lowest cost, power dissipation, dependability, security and the ability to integrate heterogeneous devices and technologies. This session presents three research-oriented perspectives on the challenging aspects of IoT enabling technologies

Time	Label	Presentation Title Authors
11:00	6.1.1	ULTRA-LOW-POWER CIRCUITS FOR IOT APPLICATIONS Author: Georges Gielen, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, BE Abstract IoT applications require ultra-low-power hardware solutions that communicate wirelessly. Challenges and some solutions in designing these will be highlighted.
11:30	6.1.2	STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING FOR SMART CITIES: A HW/SW CODESIGN PERSPECTIVE Author: Jiang Xu, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, HK Abstract The structural integrity of civil structures is vital to economic prosperity and public safety. In developed countries and regions, a large number of transportation and residential infrastructures are aging rapidly. There is an urgent need and rapidly increasing demand for the ability to monitor the health conditions of civil structures in a real-time and distributed manner. This talk will share our experiences on developing large scale structural health monitoring systems from a HW/SW codesign perspective
12:00	6.1.3	SECURITY IN THE INTERNET OF THINGS: A CHALLENGE OF SCALE Speaker and Author: Patrick Schaumont, Virginia Tech, US Abstract Technological scaling has offered a windfall of benefits to electronics design. Increased transistor density has offered an exponential increase in computing capabilities over time, but without a corresponding increase in system cost. Information security has its own success story with scaling. Cryptographic algorithms become exponentially harder to break through a mere linear increase in encryption complexity or in key-length. In the Internet of Things, scaling is as much a security liability as it is an advantage. These security liabilities are new, poorly understood and poorly regulated. Some examples include the following: privacy of IoT data in the cloud; the safety consequences of poor information security in cyber-physical systems; the liabilities of long-lifetime devices that use outdated or poorly tested information security; the performance-limited information security in devices that run on the outskirts of the IoT using nothing but harvested energy. In this contribution we consider the security landscape for IoT. We consider the technological consequences of securely extending the Internet into the physical world of things. We identify current limitations, ongoing research efforts, and open challenges for the design community. Download Paper (PDF; Only available from the DATE venue WiFi)
12:30		End of session Lunch Break in Garden Foyer Keynote Lecture session 7.0 in "Garden Foyer" 1350 - 1420 Lunch Break in the Garden Foyer On all conference days (Tuesday to Thursday), a buffet lunch will be offered in the Garden Foyer, in front of the session rooms. Kindly note that this is restricted to conference delegates possessing a lunch voucher only. When entering the lunch break area, delegates will be asked to present the corresponding lunch voucher of the day. Once the lunch area is being left, re-entrance is not allowed for the respective lunch.
