This industry keynote is on Convergence and Disaggregation, a Networking Systems Perspective. Bio: As vice president of Strategy and CTO for the ION Division at Nokia, Stephen is responsible for looking at the road ahead and determining which new projects and emerging markets the company should consider for investing its resources. Relying on a background that includes more than 20 years’ experience in the telecom and networking industries, he helps develop road maps for the company so it can seize the opportunities that are a best fit. Some of his key successes in this role include driving investments in Packet Core and CDN technology, as well as being an early advisor on the company’s work in NFV and SDN.
We have often spoken of the "flaws" in public policies and regulatory frameworks of states or cities as so many opportunities for imaginative entrepreneurs to create disruptive businesses (think of Airbnb or Uber for example). But the flip side is that much often, these same public policies do not keep pace with the increasingly rapid pace of changing technological innovations or business models in such a way that they constitute a constraint or even a brake on their development. Imagine, just a little, the spaghetti of regulations of all kinds, from local, regional or national authorities, faced by those who want to test, in the public space, a prototype of an autonomous vehicle, for example, in an urban environment. Hell! Our three panelists have had to deal or are currently dealing with this type of context and will share their observations, the lessons they have learned from them as well as some possible solutions, both for those who want to innovate and for public decision-makers.
KEYNOTE SPEECH ON “EMERGING DIVERSITY INITIATIVES IN COMMUNICATIONS ENGINEERING” Abstract: This presentation will highlight recent efforts by ComSoc and IEEE to broaden participation, engagement, and success in communications engineering. Worldwide trends and initiatives will be described. The talk will conclude with a discussion of emerging efforts towards diversity, equity, and inclusion, and what remains to be done.
This industry keynote is on the Internet Needs More Engineering. Bio: Scott is the Head of the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security. The Cyber Centre is the single unified source of expert advice, guidance, services and support on cyber security for government, critical infrastructure owners and operations, the private sector and the Canadian public. Scott began his career at the Communications Security Establishment (CSE) in 1999 and has held various positions including Assistant Deputy Minister of IT Security, acting Assistant Deputy Minister of Corporate Services and Chief Financial Officer, Director General of Cyber Defence and a variety of positions of increasing responsibility across CSE, primarily in the Signals Intelligence and IT Security domains. He previously worked at the Privy Council Office as a National Security Policy Advisor in the Security & Intelligence Secretariat.

This academic keynote is on Security & Differential Privacy in Edge Computing. Bio: Anna Scaglione (M.Sc.'95, Ph.D. '99) is currently a professor of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering at Arizona State University. Prior to that she was a professor at UC Davis (2008-2014) and at Cornell University (2001-2008) and at the University of New Mexico (2000-2001). Dr. Scaglione’s expertise is in the broad area of statistical signal processing with application to communication networks, electric power systems/intelligent infrastructure and network science. Dr. Scaglione was elected an IEEE fellow in 2011. She is the recipient of the 2000 IEEE Signal Processing Transactions Best Paper Award, the 2013, IEEE Donald G. Fink Prize Paper Award for the best review paper in that year among all IEEE publications. With her student she earned the 2013 IEEE Signal Processing Society Young Author Best Paper Award (Lin Li) and several best conference paper awards. She was SPS Distinguished Lecturer for the years 2019-2020 and is the recipient of the 2020 Technical Achievement Award from the IEEE Communication Society Technical Committee on Smart Grid Communications. Her record of service is extensive. She was on board of governors of the IEEE Signal Processing Society during 2011-2014 and was member of the SPS Awards Board in 2016-2017. She was Editor in Chief of the IEEE Signal Processing Letters in (2012-2013) and served as associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications from 2002 to 2005 for the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing from 2008-2009, where she was area editor in 2010-11. She is currently serving as Deputy EiC for the IEEE Transactions on Control of Networked Systems where she was before Associate Editor 2016-2017 and then Senior Editor 2018-2019. She was General Chair of the SPAWC 2005 workshop and member of Signal Processing for Communication Committee from 2004 to 2009. She has been an IEEE SmartGridComm Conference steering committee from 2010 to 2013. She has also served in a number of IEEE conference technical committees and as Technical Chair for DCOSS 2010, SmartgridComm 2012 and
Virtual reality and teleportation, to telepresence, augmented reality, and remotely‑controlled robotics are future applications that are bound to achieve unprecedented development for society, economics and culture and to revolutionize the way we live, learn, work and play. Unfortunately, today’s Internet is simply not able to provide the stringent performance requirements needed by such applications to run smoothly and to offer a perfect quality of experience. This is due to several fundamental limitations in the design of the current network architecture and communication protocols. As a result, it is now the time to put into question the tenets of today’s Internet and think novel architecture and protocols that take into account recent technological advances in cloud computing, virtualization and network softwarization to design the future Tactile Internet. In this talk, we start by analyzing the characteristics and requirements of future cyber-physical systems and highlight the limitations of the today’s Internet architecture and protocols. We then provide an overview of FlexNGIA (www.FlexNGIA.net), a Flexible Next-Generation Internet Architecture that leverages cloud computing infrastructures, services and technologies as the keystone of the future Internet providing high performance and fully flexibility for future Internet applications and services to ensure the highly-integrated computation, communication, control, and physical elements requested by cyber-physical systems. We also discuss through some use-cases how FlexNGIA could ensure the performance guarantees required by some of the future cyber-physical systems and applications.
