Thought Leadership Events, University of Essex Series

We are delighted to launch a new series of thought leadership events with the University of Essex

Join us each month to expand and enhance your own knowledge plus build on your networks.




Explore as well our Thought Leadership overview

Coming up next!

Dr Mays Al-Naday, School of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, University of Essex
Semantic based networking for digital transformation

“The adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) for digital transformation is sketching new forms of distributed data and decentralised machine learning, localised with data sources, or in a proximity to adhere to such requirements as data privacy and possibly latency. The new form of data and machine learning is opening new horizons in future networks (such as 6G) while introducing novel requirements that leverage the role of data semantics at the network layer.

In this talk, I will share our vision on how future networks can find and exchange semantically-relevant data for such applications as machine-learning. Specifically, I will show how state-of-the art information-centric networks can be extended with novel networking services to enable semantic-based mapping and delivery of context-relevant, not necessarily exact copies, of data.”


Dr Amit Kumar Singh, School of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, University of Essex
Attacks and defences for Edge Devices: side and covert channels perspective



Previous Thought Leadership Talks in the University of Essex series

Professor Stuart Walker, Essex University and Dave Townend, BT
Building dense urban mobile networks and the journey beyond 100GHz
Recording available now on the presentation page or on YouTube

In this talk we explored the challenges with densifying mobile networks and the role wireless backhaul has to play in building future mobile network architectures.


Zilong Liu, School of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, University of Essex
6G for Future V2X Communications
Recording available now on the presentation page or on YouTube

Among many emerging vertical industries, connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs) with the aid of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication and networking are deemed to transform our travel experience with numerous far-reaching societal and economic benefits. With 5G communication networks rapidly rolling out globally, it is time to ask how 6G will help revolutionize our future V2X communications.


Somdip Dey, School of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, University of Essex
AI, IoT and Blockchain being the future of food security
Recording available now on YouTube
Outline:
  • Introduction to the problem of food wastage and food security around the world
  • Brief introduction of AI and machine learning and their advancement
  • State-of-the-art of using blockchain and AI/ML in food supply chain and reduction of food wastage
  • Introduce FoodSQRBlock and SmartNoshWase frameworks – frameworks using blockchain, AI, IoT and Cloud to digitize food supply chain for easy accessibility and traceability while helping stakeholders in the supply chain to reduce food waste and catering for food security
