Plenary Talks

An introduction to Biometrics Julian Ashbourn pdf
This presentation will take a short look at the history of biometrics and how the technology has developed into contemporary implementations, together with some challenges of currently held assumptions and coverage of little understood technological factors such as equivalence of performance across nodes. There will additionally be a focus upon human factors, with some discussion on implications for the future from a societal perspective. The presentation will thus provide a pocket history of biometrics and identity management, while sowing seeds for future discussion and possible research.
The challenges for Computing Services within HE Tom Mortimer, Chair of UCISA pdf
Computing Services functions often have to deal with, or even facilitate, organisational change within our Universities. The need for this change can be generated by a number of factors including the development of technology, changes to organisational business processes and funding issues. These changes almost always present challenges and these may be enabling significant development opportunities or, at the other end of the scale, the need to deal with risk to the organisation. IT Directors are expected to consider and plan for these changes and UCISA supports this through a bi-annual review of the top issues; identified by IT Directors. We will look at the development of these issues over time and focus in on the current issues and those that may become more significant and consider their potential impact on the sector and computing services.
Sense and Sendability - Novel Mobile Devices for the Future Lyndsay Williams pdf
In an era of sophisticated smartphones and mobile computing it is worth noting that novel technologies can still begin in a dream and by tinkering in the garage. This presentation will review some key ideas being used in today's smartest devices, how they emerged and were developed, as well as where some of these and more recent ideas might take us in future devices. From the use of accelerometers, touch controls, GPS and cameras to interact with smartphones, to the potential for hand-tracking interfaces and gesture control without cameras, to touch-sensitive waterproof sticky note paper alarms and potential successors to the mouse, the future of mobile (and other) computing devices will include far more sophisticated input and interactions which could help us live better and plan for a more sustainable world.
