09:20	1.1.3	SMART SYSTEMS FOR INTERNET OF THINGS Author: Benedetto Vigna, STMicroelectronics, IT Abstract: Sensors add intelligence to systems which represent a broad class of devices incorporating functionalities like sensing, actuation, and control. They are the core of smart components and subsystems; then, the challenge in the realization of such smart systems goes beyond the design of the individual components and subsystems and consists of accommodating a multitude of functionalities, technologies, and materials to play a key role to augment our daily life.
09:55	1.1.4	CREATING A SUSTAINABLE INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION INFRASTRUCTURE Author: Massoud Pedram, University of Southern California, US Abstract: Modern society's dependence on information and communication infrastructure (ICI) is so deeply entrenched that it should be treated on par with other critical lifelines of our existence, such as water and electricity. As is the case with any true lifeline, ICI must be reliable, affordable, and sustainable. Meeting these requirements (especially sustainability) is a continued critical challenge, which will be the focus of my talk. More precisely, I will provide an overview of information and communication technology trends in light of various societal and environmental mandates followed by a review of technologies, systems, and hardware/software solutions required to create a sustainable ICI.
