Welcome by the Rector of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Enric Fossas.
Prof. David Atienza, EPFL, Switzerland, IEEE CEDA 2018 President
The Internet of Things (IoT) has been hailed as the next frontier of innovation in which our everyday objects are connected in ways that improve our lives and transform industries. The IoT concept is poised to reach 70 billion connected devices by 2025, but major key challenges remain in achieving this potential due to inherent resource-constrained nature of IoT systems, coupled with the computing power requirements of Big Data applications, which can result in degraded and unreliable behavior of IoT nodes, or a global energy crisis when IoT is fully deployed in the future. In this keynote David Atienza will first discuss the challenges of ultra-low power design and communication in IoT nodes and their potential system misbehavior induced by reliability issues and scaled voltages. Then, he will showcase the opportunities for next-generation IoT nodes that combine new embedded systems architecture including novel nanotechnologies and a better understanding on how living organisms operate, in order to gracefully scale the energy consumption and precision of the IoT applications to the requirements of our surrounding world.

Prof. Andrew Adamatzky, University West of England, Bristol.
Unconventional computing is a science in flux. What is unconventional today will be conventional tomorrow. Designs being standard in the past are seen now as a novelty. Unconventional computing is a niche for interdisciplinary science, a cross-breed of computer science, physics, mathematics, chemistry, electronic engineering, biology, materials science and nanotechnology. The aims are to uncover and exploit principles and mechanisms of information processing in, and functional properties of, physical, chemical and living systems to develop efficient algorithms, design optimal architectures and manufacture working prototypes of future and emergent computing devices. In my talk I will provide an overview of selected experimental computing devices, implemented in excitable chemical media, slime mould and plants.

The 21st century will be the century in which we will unravel the intricacies of the brain and in which we will use electricity to interact with our electro-chemical mainframe better. In this talk I will explain how electroceuticals, the electronic counterparts of pharmaceuticals, can help to successfully treat neurological disorders. Further, I will sketch a technological avenue of their future development by making electroceuticals smaller, more energy efficient, flexible and more intelligent. Examples will be given for fully-implantable bionic ears and neurostimulators for the treatment of tinnitus, Tourette’s syndrome and epilepsy.
