Founded in 1963, the Institute of Electronic and Electrical Engineers (IEEE) is one of the largest professional and technical organizations in the world, with a total of more than 300,000 members in more than 170 countries and regions. You may never have heard of it, but every day you use a variety of electronic devices, such as wireless routers, that comply with IEEE standards. The IEEE Computer Association has published a vision of the 2014 information technology industry to see how industry bosses are predicting industry trends.
The rise of mobile cloud--Mobile distributed computing will witness the explosion of development
Mobile computing and cloud computing are converging on the same platform, providing unlimited computing resources. Mobile devices are generally subject to memory, computing power, and battery endurance. But when combined with cloud computing, data processing and storage will no longer depend on mobile devices. In this new platform, people can more easily synchronize information, mobile applications will be more reliable and easier to expand, the integration of a variety of services will become more relaxed, users can access the business applications and multiple collaboration services, the user experience will be more colorful. A great wave of new services is poised to be made.
The expansion of the Internet of things--the expectation that the information network can connect the digital world and the life reality
The old internet of things only integrates all kinds of intelligent devices seamlessly into the information network, and through mobile devices and sensors, the new networking can directly monitor its environment, collect the massive data about the real world, and make the data on the network better reflect the reality and achieve good interactive collaboration. To achieve this goal, we need to find a way to link the real world to the corresponding digital resources.
Qualitative changes in large data--we need simpler analytical tools to deal with rough data
The big data is hard to deal with, not just in its three v--capacity (volume), Rate (velocity) and diversity (produced). In fact, industries such as finance, insurance, marketing and health, as well as scientific research institutions, are in dire need of people and tools that can easily handle large data to make meaningful analysis of the vast amounts of data they collect, but it is clear that the technology community is not ready. In this age of extreme data, new paradigms and guidelines are needed for data management and analysis, and 2014 will be multifaceted.
Revolution in 3D printers-with new tools and technologies, VW will be able to benefit from the power of 3D printing
3D printing new tools and technology can be said to benefit the million, whether multinational companies or DIYer. 3D printing gives them a faster, cheaper, and more convenient tool to make new devices and new ideas. Car parts, batteries, volunteers, computer chips, and even jewelry, clothing, firearms, even the food of the pizza, 3D printing all inclusive. In the vision of the future, we want to be able to print the digital system directly to the real device. This requires new tools, services, and platforms, and innovative business models and business processes, such as online 3D print services and "Mickle", are also essential. All this will continue to develop in 2014. Digitization is bringing new changes to hardware design, testing and production. Whether the superposition of 3D printing, or elimination of laser cutting, technology progress so that people can now with higher quality and speed, at a low price easy to produce new products.
The technical foundation of the new learning model--we need an integrated and ubiquitous online course
Today, students around the world are able to register any courses they want to learn online, whether it be computer, signal processing and machine learning, or European history, psychology and astronomy, all of which are free. The interest in large-scale online courses (MOOC) is continuing to ferment, as well as a problem for technicians: How to meet these new learning systems and patterns? The MOOC platform, like Coursera, has more than 3 million students and 107 partners, and EDX as a partner at MIT and Harvard, with more than 1.7 million students. These platforms offer courses that involve thousands of students. These students use not only as the main course of the online lectures, as well as online forums, video calls, identification of the key logger, the resulting large amount of information also requires a powerful server to deal with. Like other new online courses, MOOC requires a new learning experience: integration, ubiquity, and empathy for everyone. This requires different technologies as the basis, such as embedded technology and sensor-related technology.
The upgrading of mobile networks--the infrastructure of mobile networks must catch up with the needs of users
Mobile computing is everywhere, and we can use smartphones to communicate with family and friends thousands of miles away, and that's what it's all about, but it's more magical than that. When we buy tickets on the bus and on the subway, when we use the app for takeout, mobile computing works when we watch video and listen to music on mobile phones and other media playback devices. For this reason, mobile computing systems must be able to meet these requirements. Cisco expects global mobile network traffic to grow 18 times times between 2016 and 2011. Urban information systems have an advantage in this area: Robust network infrastructure, backbone networks with bandwidth, high-speed relaying, and ample power and recharging facilities. But there are many systems that often do not have these advantages, and users do not have access to enough services, such as disaster survivors, mobile phone users in remote areas, or when millions of people watch a fireworks display at the same time. In these scenarios, the infrastructure is often overwhelmed, reducing the quality of service available to users. Researchers need to develop new tools, middleware and applications to mitigate this quality of service.
The balance between identity and privacy--people worry that social networks are becoming more dangerous.
Social networks have become the key organizational paradigm for communication and collaboration on the Internet. While the digital social network presents great opportunities and is favored by users, these systems have created new risks and new concerns as they continue to expand. For example, users of social networks may suffer online bullying, their photos may be stolen, and their status updates may be targeted by bad people. Even if the user page is blank, people you know can infer your personal information. These risks also involve the management of online identities, because in these cases a person's online ID is often tied to their real identity and life. Now, the conflict has begun, between the convenience of personal privacy and social networking.
Online intelligence of medical services-intelligent systems and assistive devices will bring health
Computer technology is becoming more and more important in all aspects of our lives, especially in the areas of personal and social welfare. All kinds of intelligent systems, applications, devices and mobile systems provide essential information to people in diet and sports, making people healthier. In the medical field, prescription, surgery and assistive facilities all require an intelligent system to analyze data and human responses, and to guide the design and process of treatment and medical intervention. In addition to these individual technological advances, large-scale analyses of biomedical data, social health data, and related metadata are becoming more prevalent, and these analyses can tell us the spread of disease and the specifics of certain health practices in the population.
E-government-the interoperability of publishing information is a big problem
The concept of e-government-or digital government-refers to the use of information and communication technologies to improve services in government services, business processes, public exchanges, interaction between government and enterprise. The success of this concept depends on interoperability. The challenge is to integrate government data with cloud computing, open government and intelligent city ideas.
Science cloud Computing--the key to conquering challenge and seeking breakthrough
Scientific computing is changing the face of scientific research, and now some of the new experiments that rely on research breakthroughs have looked like a myth ten years ago. In many fields, scientific computing is the key to solving major challenges, and it has also brought scientific breakthroughs to researchers. There are many forms of scientific computing: High performance computing, high throughput computing, multitasking and data intensive computing. Data sets brought by large data are growing rapidly in both complexity and capacity, and their analysis, archiving and sharing have also become major challenges for the 21st century. In order to meet this challenge, we need large-scale processing system, as the data growth, these systems design and operation will become more and more difficult.
