Talk at mini conference on CBDC IL, hosted at IBM Research

We had an exception breakout discussing multiple emerging topics such as , is Web3 real ? what will the future look like ? what challenges are ahead of us to make it happen ?
We observed the need to further advance topics such as scale, performance, privacy, Usability and of course regulation to enable mass adoption of dApps. Metaverse and Web3 are strongly interlinked and we shall see how the evolution of one will enable the other and visa versa. Finally we had an interesting discussion… Show more

We observed the need to further advance topics such as scale, performance, privacy, Usability and of course regulation to enable mass adoption of dApps. Metaverse and Web3 are strongly interlinked and we shall see how the evolution of one will enable the other and visa versa. Finally we had an interesting discussion about the level of decentralization needed and in what cases. Looking forward to continue the discussion, as this is a long journey.

All this is made possible through the collection of massive amounts of data about every aspect of our lives. Using cognitive computing and artificial intelligence (AI) we can analyze this data, reason about it, and gain insights that would otherwise be impossible due to the huge number of data sources and vast quantity. I will present some of the most difficult challenges IBM Research is tackling to enable this new era. My talk will focus on emerging trends such as conversational assistants (a.k.a. as chatbots) and Industry 4.0 examples. I'll introduce a new cloud software as a service (SaaS) that allows businesses to quickly craft their own Watson-powered Personal Assistants. I will also share the challenges involved and our experience building a variety of industry-specific assistants for areas such as automotive, hospitality, and others. This assistant framework goes beyond question-answering conversation to provide reasoning, multi-modal interactions, personalization, and proactive triggers that exploit industry ontologies.

In this talk we will present some of the most difficult research challenges IBM Research is tackling to enable this new era. These challenges span from the IoT platform capabilities (e.g., scale to hundred of millions of connected devices), starting from the edge (e.g., wearables, Arduiono boards, etc.) all the way to the Cloud, utilizing in some scenarios Blockchain technology, making sure we have and e2e secure connectivity. Finally we shall describe some novel industry solutions for buildings, industry 4.0, Insurance, Automotive and Electronics.

By harnessing the power of interconnected devices, companies across many industries are experiencing the transformational impact of the Internet of Things (IoT). Sometimes it's easy to forget that people also form an integral part of the IoT, whether carrying mobile devices or jumping onto the wearables bandwagon.

By harnessing the power of interconnected devices, companies across many industries are experiencing the transformational impact of the Internet of Things (IoT). Sometimes it's easy to forget that people also form an integral part of the IoT, whether carrying mobile devices or jumping onto the wearables bandwagon. Therefore, the locations, activities and intentions of people play a big part as input into the reasoning engine in order to make meaningful mobile applications. Developing context-dependent mobile solutions is a complex challenge, but a system of real added-value services must be created, as well as a comprehensive IT architecture to support it. In addition, the huge amounts of data produced by the IoT require real-time analytics to make sense of it all and turn them into actionable insights. Future mobile apps must be cognitive to "understand" user intentions based on all the available interactions and unstructured data. In short, a new distributed programming paradigm is emerging to meet these needs, and deal with the massive amounts of data and devices that are changing how people work and live.

Driven by the rapid growth of mobile devices and the Internet of Things, the next wave in computing will need to exploit data and computing at the edge of the network. For example, contextual programming is emerging as the next significant change in way we develop Mobile apps, where real-time pro-active decisions are made based upon the mobile context (e.g., location, time of day, current user task) of a specific user or group of users. To meet the needs of such use-cases, a new paradigm… Show more

For example, contextual programming is emerging as the next significant change in way we develop Mobile apps, where real-time pro-active decisions are made based upon the mobile context (e.g., location, time of day, current user task) of a specific user or group of users. To meet the needs of such use-cases, a new paradigm, which we call Adhoc computing, is emerging. This paradigm needs to deal with massive amounts of devices, sensors, and data, both at the edge and in business systems, and must be able to react context in close to real-time. Furthermore, it must handle the heterogeneity in devices/OSs, as well as the lack of reliability, security and/or trust of these devices, and must be able to learn and improve over time. In this collaborative session, we give vertical industry and cross-industry use-cases, and describe IBM technologies and solutions for this new class of computing.

Mobile technologies are revolutionizing our personal lives and transforming the way we do business. This talk addresses both the technology and business transformations taking place, and explains how they are encouraging organizations to rethink the way they do business. The ensuing changes affect the internal business processes related to employees and the external customer facing systems that use front office digitization.
