ACM Open IoT Day
Venue: Diamond Hall

Keynote 1: Feng Zhao (CTO, Haier) 9:15–10:15

IoT: From the Lab to the Real World

The manufacturing industry is going through a digital transformation, from a pure device maker to a hybrid device+service provider. IoT promises to be the enabler for this transformation, connecting at one end the consumers and the other end the manufacturers and their vast resources. I will draw examples from Haier’s practices in smart home and connected factories. Building upon the IoT and other advanced computing technologies, Haier’s U+ Platform has driven the rapid introduction and iteration of new consumer experiences and drastically improved the manufacturing efficiency.

Please see the ACM IoT Day page for more information about the speaker.

Democratizing the Internet of Things with SmartThings

SmartThings Cloud connects not only Samsung devices (e.g., home appliances, TVs), but a wide range of connected devices (e.g., sensors, lightbulbs, cameras), providing a single, powerful platform to build IoT experiences to millions of SmartThings users. In this talk, we will discuss how you can be part of this exciting journey—integrating existing products with our ecosystem using SmartThings Schema; creating smart interactions using SmartThings APIs; or connecting your ZigBee or Z-Wave devices with SmartThings hubs. All these can be done through our developer workspace, which can be reached at https://smartthings.developer.samsung.com/.

Please see the ACM IoT Day page for more information about the speaker.

Day 2: Tuesday, 18 June 2019
Venue: Harmony Ballroom

Welcome Address 8:30–08:45

Keynote 1: Kang G. Shin (University of Michigan) 8:45–10:00

Marriage of Smart Phones with Smart Cars

In recent years, cars are rapidly transforming from mechanical compounds to smart moving computers, primarily to improve transportation safety, efficiency and convenience. However, contemporary smart cars require heavy instrumentation and dedicated systems, which can severely limit their scalability, deployability and accessibility to a large user base and region/country. I will discuss a set of latest technologies of integrating smartphones with vehicular systems to meet these challenges – a versatile computational platform that has unprecedented penetration into the global market. Such an integration may has the potential for safer, more comfortable and efficient on-road transportation at scale.

This talk will cover technical challenges in exploiting mobile devices to achieve/enhance vehicle intelligence. Specifically, I will cover research efforts of pushing the frontier of integrating mobile devices from four key perspectives: advanced driver-assistance systems, driving safety, vehicular security, and vehicular data collection. I will start by showing how the motion sensor within smartphones can help detect vehicle turns. Then, I will discuss how smartphones can be used for sensing the phone’s location and authenticating the driver. Finally, I will highlight the smartphone’s capabilities in securing vehicular systems and enabling flexible vehicular data collection.

Venue: Harmony Ballroom

Keynote 2: Gregory Abowd (Georgia Tech) 8:45–10:00

The Material of the 21st Century: Moving beyond Moore and Weiser

30 years after Weiser's inspirational words on ubiquitous computing, I revisit one of the premises of that work. I propose a new era of self-sustainable computing through the development of computational materials that can be truly woven into the fabric of everyday life and create decades of inspiration for new researchers across a variety of disciplines. I will define and demonstrate some initial examples of computational materials and explain why self-sustainable computing provides a compelling vision for computing in a post-Moore's Law world.
