Plenary Talks

Contested cyberspace Martin Sadler  
2017: 3.4 billion individuals online, 3.3 billion have little idea how to protect themselves. Over 25 million apps, more than 24 million are written with little attention to security and are easy to subvert. And social networking means we're all friends with those that are infected.
2020: 1 trillion sensors and actuators connect the real and cyber worlds, dependence and surveillance have made the Internet the most important and most feared technology on the planet. So are we headed for a dark future? Or can we preserve the online freedoms we've had for the past 30 years?
Cisco and London 2012 Ian Foddering  

The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games aim to be the most connected games to date.

Security, reliability and performance of the network infrastructure will be critical, with stability taking precedence over creativity. London 2012 is not about doing anything Cisco has not done before. Rather, it is all about doing what we do, but doing it better than ever.

Cisco are supplying the routing, switching, firewall and IP telephony to approximately 100 venues across the UK including:

  • 80,000 connections
  • 94 Locations
  • 2,220 Switches
  • 1800 WAPs
  • 7000 Cable TV sockets
  • 16,500 IP Phones
  • 65,000 active connections
  • 4 billion broadcast audience.
  • 6,500 Cisco WebEx licences
  • Show & Share plus MXE for “knowledge on Demand”
Experiments into Biology – Technology Interaction Kevin Warwick  

In this presentation a practical look is taken at how the use of implant and electrode technology can be employed to create biological brains for robots, to enable human enhancement and to diminish the effects of certain neural illnesses. In all cases the end result is to increase the range of abilities of the recipients. An indication is given of a number of areas in which such technology has already had a profound effect, a key element being the need for a clear interface linking a biological brain directly with computer technology.

The emphasis is clearly placed on experimental scientific studies that have been and are being undertaken and reported on. The area of focus is notably the need for a biological/technological connection, where a link is made directly with the cerebral cortex and/or nervous system. The presentation will consider the future in which robots have biological, or part-biological, brains and in which neural implants link the human nervous system bi-directionally with technology and the internet.
