Keynote Speaker-1 Current Artificial Intelligence Research
Status of Global Companies and Top Universities using Neural Networks as
Learning Method Prof. Dr. Dong Hwa Kim KEC Director and Professor TDTU Recently, global companies such as
Amazon, Google, Facebook, IBM, MS and Top Universities such as MIT, Harvard,
McGill, Toronto University and so on have announced initiatives about
artificial intelligence techniques due to their increasing influence on the
economy and social situation which in turn impact the development of new
technologies. According to the Harvard business
review: Many experts are expecting that a big slice of the workforce is about
to lose their jobs because of artificial intelligence. Similarly Oxford
publicity material predict 47% of jobs could be automated by 2033. Even the
near-term outlook has been quite negative. A 2016 report by the OECD predicts 9% of
jobs in the 21 countries that make up its membership could be automated. McKinseys report estimates AI-driven job losses at 5% in
January 2017. Many researchers predict a net job loss of between 4% and 7% in
key business functions by the year 2020 due to AI. Our research terms will be shorter
because of change of ICT and AI. This lecture will deal with current AI
research status of global companies and the strongest research group of
Universities such as MacGill, Tronto,
and other top Universities. We will also explore the importance and principle
of AI research and neural network such as deep learning and optimization.
Also this lecture will introduce other current AI research topics for SMEs
business, researcher, Ph.D students, and Masters
courses through many research materials. Biography Name: Dong Hwa Kim(金東和), Ph.D Current work: Director of KEC, Professor TDT

Keynote Speaker-2 Challenges for
the Internet of Things Development in the Interconnected World Dr Fawnizu
Hussin Universiti Teknologi
Petronas (UTP) Malaysia Email:
fawnizu@gmail.com The Internet of
Things (IoT) revolution is dramatically altering
manufacturing, energy, agriculture, transportation and other industrial
sectors of the economy which, together, account for nearly two-thirds of the
global gross domestic product (GDP). It will also fundamentally transform how
people will work through new interactions between humans and machines. The IoT is a network of physical objects (devices, vehicles,
buildings, and other items) that are embedded with electronics, software,
sensors, and network connectivity to collect and exchange data. According to
a recent report by McKinsey, around 30 billion objects may be connected
through IoT by 2020. The development
and adoption of IoT is being driven by multiple
factors, including easily available low-cost sensors, increase in bandwidth
and processing power, wide-spread usage of smartphones, availability of big
data analysis tools, and scalability of internet protocol version 6. In order
to ensure that the scalability, performance, and security of IoT applications are up to the mark, it has become
crucial for todays IoT
chips to use a range of new solutions during the design stage to ensure robustness
of manufacturing test, field reliability, and security. Design-for-test
engineers need to use new test and reliability solutions to enable power
reductions during test, concurrent test, isolated debug and diagnosis and
in-field test. This talk will touch on the key trends and challenges of IoT and will also cover solutions to handle the wide
range of potential robustness challenges during all periods of the IoT lifecycle from design to post silicon bring-up,
volume production, and in-system operation. Biography Fawnizu Azmadi Hussin is currently the
Director of Strategic Alliance at Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP). He spent one year as a Visiting
Professor at Intel Microelectronics (Malaysia)s
System-on-Chip DFx Department in 2012-2013 where he
worked on low power built-in-self-test approaches for a mobile
microprocessor. He obtained the Bachelor of Electrical Engineering from the
University of Minnesota (1999), M.Eng.Sc. from the University of New South Wales (2001), and his PhD
at the Nara Institute of Science and Technology in Japan (2008). His PhD
thesis was on core-based testing of system-on-chips (SOC) and
network-on-chips (NOC), which won an award at the ASP-DAC 2008 Student Forum.
Dr Fawnizus research
interests are in VLSI design and test especially in core-based testing, SOC
and NOC. Dr Fawnizu
currently works on test and debug of ICs, including design-for-test,
built-in-self-test and test scheduling. He has filed five patent applications
and published more than 100 research papers. He is actively involved in
various committee positions with the IEEE Malaysia Section since 2009. He was
the Chair of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Malaysia Chapter (2013
& 2014) and currently the Vice Chair of IEEE Malaysia Section (2017 &
2018). More details are available at https://bit.ly/fawnizu. +++ Keynote Speaker-3 Blockchain Technology - Power to the People!? Prof. Dr. Philip Sallis Professor in Computer
Science and Geo-Computation School of Engineering,
Computer and Mathematical Sciences Auckland University of
Technology In 2016 Al Gore, who is often
regarded as an IT visionary said: I think the fact that within the bitcoin
universe an algorithm replaces the functions of [the government] - actually
pretty cool. In this statement, he reflects the somewhat anarchic sentiments
of many, that monetary trading can be carried out efficiency and effectively
by transacting individuals, without the need for government regulation or
financial institutions. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin may
well be the future for currency trading but they are not the only
implementation of the facilitating technology they employ. Blockchain Technology is the engine that drives the
functionality of what can be considered as the most secure and independent
shared database of transaction data across a wide spectrum of applications.
Put simply, Blockchain Technology is a distributed
database (like a ledger) that records all transactions and proves who
possesses them in real-time. The security of this data is made certain by the
systems distributed nature, and by sophisticated cryptographic algorithms.
These algorithms, expressed as computer programming code, are executed by users
in a peer-to-peer electronic relationship. This activity is known as mining. Bitcoin, Ethereum
and other cryptocurrencies and contracting platforms are now joined by
trading transactions for energy resources such as electricity, insurance,
health, real estate and other resources and services that carry with them a codable value. Algorithms for Blockchain
Technology are open-source, and there is no central repository of encrypted
transaction data. It is distributed as a whole to those who wish to access it
for mining and trading purposes. The complete set of data resides on every users computer and is updated periodically by the Blockchain software engine that drives it. There is no
central server and no administrator in the usual sense. The algorithm modifies
the repository content as users make transactions. This talk describes the advent and
operation of Blockchain Technology with examples of
its use and societal impact, foreshadowing implications internationally, in
government and business infrastructure. Block-chain technology offers secure,
trusted, distributed, consensus-based platforms to replace
previously-centralised and high-cost governmental, corporate and
institutional services. Perhaps the key question for the future though, is
whether the technological complexity and the difficulty of understanding Blockchain systems will mean that Power to the People is resisted by those who might benefit most. Biography Philips career spans some 45 years of academic positions in the UK,
Australia and New Zealand, with adjunct positions in Hong Kong, the USA and
Chile. After his NZ undergraduate studies in Mathematics and Computer Science
he completed a PhD at the University of London (City) in 1979. Returning to
NZ in 1987 he was appointed to the Foundation Chair in Information Science at
The University of Otago. In 1999 he was appointed Deputy Vice Chancellor at
Auckland University of Technology (AUT) and since 2009 he has led a research
group there in the field of GeoComputation with
Wireless Sensor Network and Agrometeorological projects in nine countries,
particularly Chile, Germany and Japan. During this time he also held senior
university management roles as a Pro Vice Chancellor. From 2018 he has
reduced his full-time position to a part-time role as Research Professor in
the School of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences at AUT. Professor Sallis
is a Fellow of the Institute of Information Technology Professionals in New
Zealand and a Member of the Royal Society. He is a Life Member of the International
Association of Mathematical Geophysics, a Senior Member of the IEEE and was
recently awarded Life Membership of that Institution. +++ |
