The future is here in a world of video, voice, data, and services delivered in any format and on any device you designate, anywhere in the world.
This new reality is addressed in almost every Cluster: Technology companies offering SOA and SAAS examine how highly distributed applications offer the foundation for delivering services. Remote sensors and their application for identifying the counterfeit drugs is a topic for both Life Sciences and CSID (controls, sensors, and RFID) companies. Financial Services have explored issues ranging from managing highly regulated investment portfolios via mobile phone to providing peer-to-peer payments in social networking environments. Robots in the battlefield met telemedicine to solve some of the most serious healthcare problems in their most challenging environments.
This session will bring these experiences and other and best practices together with a combination of peer-to-peer discussion and interactive demonstrations. It features a keynote address and will look to the future of global communications and services in a world without boundaries or borders.
