Invited talk on Telecommunications:


Mischa Dohler – Professor at King's College London & Board of Directors, Worldsensing

Title: The Tactile Internet – IoT, 5G and Cloud on Steroids


Presentation (PDF, 2.5MB)
Video recording (YouTube)


Abstract: Currently we can see and hear through the Internet, but we cannot touch. We have a vision to create the Tactile Internet, where we would be able to touch through the median of the Internet. This would transform some very basic but vital tasks, like online shopping where the user might want to touch and feel the texture of a dress or jacket before buying it, but, most importantly, this has the potential to transform the way that healthcare, engineering and wealth is delivered globally. We will be able to convey physical, tactile experiences remotely and thus invoke a fundamental shift from content-delivery to skillset-delivery networks. This talk will summarize the potentials, building blocks and challenges which lay ahead for designing the Tactile Internet.

Invited talk on Control Systems, Automation and Robotics:


Ivan Zelinka – Professor at Department of Computer Science, Technical University of Ostrava

Title: Unconventional Algorithms in Control and Design of Complex Systems


Presentation (PDF, 5MB)
Presentation (PPTX with interactive content, 111MB)
Video recording (YouTube)


Abstract: This keynote is focused on mutual intersection of interesting fields of research: bio-inspired algorithms, deterministic chaos and complex systems. The first one will discuss main principles of bio-inspired methods, its historical background and its use on various examples including real world ones. Examples include plasma reactor control, optimal signal routing in the network of portable meteorological stations, complex system design as antenna design, nonlinear system and controllers design and more. Also its use on deterministic chaos control with focusing on simple chaotic systems (logistic, Hennon,…) as well as CML systems exhibiting spatiotemporal chaos will be mentioned and explained. The second part will discuss use of deterministic chaos instead of pseudo-random number generators inside evolutionary algorithms with application on well known evolutionary algorithms (differential evolution, PSO, SOMA, genetic algorithms,..) and test functions. Mutual comparison will be presented, based on our research. Also will be discussed question whether evolutionary dynamics really need pseudo- random numbers or no. At the end will be mentioned a novel approach joining evolutionary dynamics, complex networks and CML systems exhibiting chaotic behavior. Reported methodology and results are based on actual state of art (that is a part of this tutorial) as well as on our own research. Tutorial is designed as an introduction; no advanced or expert knowledge from complex networks, chaos and control is expected.

Invited industrial talks:


Johan Torsner – Research Manager in Ericsson Research, Finland

Title: 5G Communication for Connected Industries


Presentation (PDF, 3MB)
Video recording (YouTube)


Abstract: In addition to providing an outstanding mobile broadband experience, next generation wireless access (5G) aims to support a wide range of industrial applications. Many of these industrial applications will pose new requirements in addition to the requirements from traditional mobile broadband services and thereby stretch the system design in novel ways. In this talk we explore some of the novel use cases we foresee for 5G, the requirements they bring and some solutions needed to meet them.
 

Biography: Johan Torsner is a Research Manager in Ericsson Research and is currently leading Ericsson's research activities in Finland. He joined Ericsson in 1998 and has held several positions within research, standardization and R&D. He has been deeply involved in the development and standardization of 3G and 4G systems and has filed over 100 patent applications. His current research interests include 4G evolution, 5G and machine-type communication. In 2014 he was a finalist for the European Inventor Award for inventions related to the LTE standard.









Milan Simek – CEO in Sewio, Czech Republic

Title: Leveraging Industry Positioning to Enable Industry 4.0 – Revolution in Active RFID Technology
