Presentation Title:
KEYNOTE: The Empowered Edge Becomes “Aware”
The transition of processing and analysis from the data center to the edge has made great leaps forward. As edge computing adoption expands, the next step is to achieve a contextually aware network of devices that anticipate, adapt and act autonomously and ethically to our preferences and environment. What are the building blocks that will lead us through this evolution? What roles do 5G, secure edge computing and the cloud play? How will this new era of intelligence impact society? Ron Martino, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Edge Processing at NXP Semiconductors will share insights on this evolution.
