The Internet of Everything: A Stanford Engineering Symposium

Stanford Engineering is holding a symposium on The Internet of Everything. Any member of the community can view the live event free by registering and signing up through Stanford Center for Professional Development (SCPD) by 4pm on December 4, 2014 here: http://scpd.stanford.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=27224811. The symposium will take place Thursday, December 4, 2014 from 7:00 - 8:15 pm.

About the symposium:

A quiet technology revolution has made it possible for many objects to communicate electronically. Already more objects than humans are connected to the Internet, a trend that will only increase as more TVs, eyeglasses, watches, thermostats, cars and sensors link to the Internet and each other. Stanford Engineers and others are creating something new, a network of humans and things. It is the Internet of Everything.

Attend our next EngX symposium to hear from three Stanford Engineering faculty members working to create the Internet of Everything and learn more about the engineering challenges that surround it. EngX is a fast-paced event with three 20-minute talks and questions afterward.
 
Speakers
  • Thomas Lee, a professor of Electrical Engineering, will provide an overview of the Internet of Everything and what it could enable. He has been researching wireless technology at Stanford University since 1994 and is a past Director of DARPA's Microsystems Technology Office. 
  • Mark Horowitz is the Yahoo! Founders Professor at Stanford University and was chair of the Electrical Engineering Department from 2008 to 2012. He will talk about how Stanford engineers are investigating ways to build a secure Internet of Everything. Horowitz is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
  • Armin Arbabian, an assistant professor of Electrical Engineering, will discuss the ant-sized radio he created, an inexpensive, self-powered radio controller that provides the web of connectivity and control between the global Internet and smart household devices - an essential requirement for the Internet of Everything.

Please note this event is not hosted or connected to the INCOSE SFBAC Chapter.
