June 2023: Keysight Technologies, Inc. [2] is set to explore the rapidly
evolving technologies that are reshaping the human experience at
Keysight World: Innovate [3], the company’s annual vision conference for
technology leaders, engineers, and innovators. Kicking off on the 20th
June, the virtual event features industry leaders and futurists sharing
actionable insights into 5G, 6G, software-defined vehicles (SDVs),
non-terrestrial networks (NTN), and digital healthcare.
“Gordon Moore challenged us all with his prediction on the speed of
innovation, and his prediction influenced a lot more than just
transistor density,” said Jeff Harris, Vice President of Portfolio and
Global Marketing at Keysight Technologies. “Higher levels of electronics
integration gave rise to entirely new levels of data sharing in
standards like 5G and 6G, networks of powerful integrated sensors
capable of autonomous driving, the emergence of affordable space
networks, and the convergence of digital health technologies. We see all
these trends because our customers look to us to help them create
development environments that push the boundaries in each of these
industries. Keysight World: Innovate is our opportunity to share what’s
possible in a few key markets in hopes of stimulating even more
engineers and designers to pursue their development insights and disrupt
us all.”
Each day of Keysight World: Innovate will center on a disruptive
technology theme, featuring an opening keynote from an industry expert
highlighting near-term trends, a moderated panel discussion covering
industry challenges, a visionary keynote from an industry luminary, and
demonstrations of relevant Keysight solutions. Sessions include:
Mapping Information Superhighways of the Metaverse with 5G / 6G
The foundation of the metaverse is connectivity. Multiple layers of 5G
and eventually 6G connections must bridge connections seamlessly and
co-exist peaceably for the metaverse to link everything. Devices from
large to tiny will vie for connections and require continuous updating
with those that require hyper-fast latencies. Attendees will gain
insight into how the future of 5G and 6G will help map the information
superhighways of the metaverse.
* Opening keynote: Jonathon Wright [4], Software Test Team Chief
Evangelist, Keysight Technologies
* Vision keynote: Walid Saad [5], Professor, Electrical and Computer
Engineering, Virginia Tech
Software-Defined Vehicles and the Sensor Fusion That Drives Them
SDVs are the next critical evolution in the automotive industry’s
journey toward full vehicle autonomy. Sensor modeling and fusion are the
only ways to deliver this evolution. But how does the SDV make sense of
all the data and decide what is most important so that it can make
accurate, near-instantaneous decisions on the road? Attendees will
discover how much AI / machine learning processing is necessary for
autonomous driving to work reliably without a network connection.
* Opening keynote: Dariu [6] [6]Gavrila [6], Group Leader, Intelligent
Vehicles, Delft University of Technology
* Vision keynote: Chris Gerdes [7], Professor, Mechanical Engineering
at Stanford University and Co-Director of the Center for Automotive
Research at Stanford (CARS)
Emerging Tech: Exploring the Future of Space Networks and Digital
Healthcare
Emerging technologies like NTNs and digital healthcare are reshaping our
world in ways we can only begin to imagine. The move to NTN to augment
terrestrial 5G networks creates possibilities for whole-world
connectivity and new applications for space-based massive internet of
things. Artificial intelligence-driven digital healthcare and devices
promise to drastically improve disease prediction, diagnosis, treatment,
and patient outcomes. Speakers will address the technical hurdles that
are standing in the way.
* Opening keynote: Todd Humphreys [8], Ashley H. Priddy Centennial
Professorship in Engineering, University of Texas at Austin
* Vision keynote: Poppy Crum [9], Neuroscientist & Technologist and
Chief Technology Officer at NextSense
