Enabling Smart Devices to Act as Cloud Servers - Sam Armani, mimik Technology Inc.

We are in the midst of a historical transition from mobile internet to a hyper-connected world. Billions
of devices and apps must process data and communicate instantly and as directly as possible. We need
to ensure much higher data privacy, lower capital and operational costs, better resiliency, and immunity
to poor network conditions. We are further challenged to support a multitude of incompatible
operating systems and malicious privacy and security attacks. Last but not least, we need to lower
energy consumption and the carbon footprint. In this new world, hundreds of billions of smart devices,
apps, and processes will transform almost all industries through automation and personalization. In a
hyper-connected world, digital intersects with every aspect of the physical space. Therefore, digital
solutions should mimic and complement the interactions in the physical space. We need to transition
from a world dominated by vertical apps connected through central cloud to one where these apps and
devices communicate seamlessly and directly. In this presentation, Sam will explain how hybrid edge
cloud can help fulfill this vision to create a more sustainable and open hyper connected internet through
microservices and Open APIs.

Intelligent OT-Data Pipelines - Machines to Clouds - Tom Arthur, Dianomic

Operational Technology (OT) data is different. This keynote will overview Project Fledge, its architecture, how it addresses OT data's unique requirements and how open source is building the automated factory.

The physical distribution of machines, processes and factories can not run in a cloud. The sources, types, formats and destinations of OT data are many. The applications and users of OT data are diverse. The physical environments from sources to destinations can be challenging. OT applications that require data pipelines must be able to operate from machine edge to clouds at scale. The beginning and ending of flows is usually determined by physical source/destination locations, latency, data volumes, application processing requirements, control, security, compliance and costs. Unlike typical cloud-based pipelines, intelligent OT-data pipelines enable distributed edge application development and operation too. Combined, OT must have scalable, secure, reliable, managed data pipelines from machines to clouds and back, for OT-IT convergence and to realize the goals of 21st century industrial transformations.
