Symposium: Future of Household Electronic Appliance in the Age of IoT
Friday, October 5, 10:00-13:00

The age of Internet of Things (IoT) has arrived. The common household electronic and electric appliances will become elements of the IoT. They will talk to other devices via network, become aware of the environment (context-aware), be augmented by the intelligence afforded by the Cloud computing, and offer new interactivity through people's smart-phones and mobile devices.

The above talk and the following panel session address what will be necessary for this vision to come true, what are the hurdles and the consequences. The panel discussion will touch

  • cloud computing and appliances,
  • mobile devices and appliances,
  • software for appliances,
    etc.

Participants will include Google and Microsoft (both confirmed), and others.
