An infrastructure is called critical (CRITIS) if its disruption poses a severe threat to public life. Electricity and water are commonly cited examples, but the list comprises the food supply chain, the public health system, and more. During the recent pandemics, videoconferencing, home office / schooling, and global virus data dashboards made the public aware of how dependent we have become on "the Internet", or rather on ICT (information and communication technology): ICT has truly become a CRITIS. Not only that: ICT is becoming ever more important for the correct functioning of all other infrastructures: finance is already fully dependent on ICT, food and health supply are organized using ICT, even the upcoming smart (power) grid uses ICT as its ‘nervous system’. The most frightening aspect in this trend is the fact that ICT is known, from both everyday experience and serious studies, to be fragile i.e. vulnerable and for the most part rather unreliable. Nobody wants to picture a future with electricity ‘crashing/rebooting’ twice a day, being unavailable due to software updates, flickering due to congestion, being heavily affected by various hazards, or becoming unavailable for days due to cyberattacks. This is why the ICT that functions as the ‘nervous system’ of the power grid, and of any other CRITIS, must be resilient: Resilient means-roughly speaking-undisturbed by mild and medium-scale harm; continuing to function, at least in an emergency mode, even after serious damage; fast-recovering; and learning from (real or modelled/simulated) emergencies ‘experienced’.

In the last years we have witnessed large scale data privacy violations mostly due to security issues or to unauthorised use and communication of personal data. Among many events, millions of Yahoo e-mail accounts and Facebook private profiles were violated. Mobile and pervasive technology and services have a role in this scenario, since they introduce new devices with possible hardware and software security holes, new communication protocols, new types of personal data, and a new scale for the amount of data being collected. Location data of individuals collected through mobile devices is a natural example, and video imaging and speech collected in our homes by smart appliances and toys is another.

The notion of Ubiquitous (or Pervasive) Computing was first eloquently described by Mark Weiser at Xerox PARC in the early 1990's. He proposed a vision in which the personal computing model would evolve from one person using one computer, to many (perhaps hundreds) of computers per person; and that computing would become wirelessly embedded in the world around us, tacitly supporting our work practice. Today, twenty years later, we find ourselves surrounded by smartphones, tablets, and digital televisions much like the components of his vision: Tabs, Pads and LiveBoards. This talk will look back on what was envisioned, compare it with the reality of todays mobile market, examining what was correctly predicted, what worked and what did not. And then, reviewing key market trends, we will look forward to consider the future opportunities for pervasive computing, and some of the challenges and important use cases that we now need to consider.

Intelligent personal devices interacting with smart spaces will create a world where your environment itself anticipates and is ready to serve your every need. Many disciplines and technologies are realizing this vision of context awareness, which was science fiction just 25 years ago. In particular, your smartphone will evolve into your “sixth” sense — autonomously alerting you to your environment and notifying your social network of your interests, concerns and goals. Research challenges include ultra-low power always-on sensing and inference technologies, near-zero overhead peer-to-peer networking, and automated reasoning. Models derived from deep learning and knowledge-based reasoners in the proximate cloud will combine to create sentient immersive spaces. Advances in low power silicon, energy harvesting and scavenging will ensure that these smart environments are sustainable. This panel brings together leading experts to tell us about what sixth-sense functions are round the corner and what further breakthroughs are needed to realize this contextual awareness vision.

Over the past 15 years we have created a robust base of embedded networking technology to enable the `macroscope' - the ability to observe complex interactions of physical systems over a substantial extent of space and time. Created to understand the ecophysiology of natural systems, this technology is finding many natural applications in the quest to improve the sustainability of the built environment. In this talk we explore the role of pervasive computing and communications in buildings - where, in the US, we spend 90% of our time, over 70% of our electrical energy, and nearly 50% of our GHG emissions. We examine how pervasive monitoring serves to identify waste and opportunities for energy efficiency; how diverse sources of physical information can be homogenized to enable an innovative application ecosystem; and how a building operating system and services can provide a foundation for advanced control techniques that operate in concert with external factors, such as energy availability and weather, and for personalized environmental conditioning. To be quaint, ”there's a building app for that".

With the advance of sensor enabled smart phones simple context awareness has become a mainstream feature. Commercial apps routinely use location knowledge for the delivery of customized information or fostering social interaction. There are also scores of apps that analyse modes of locomotion for purposes such as calories calorie expenditure assessment or exercise support. On the other hand, more detailed recognition of human activities and complex situations has so far had very little impact on real-life applications. That talk will look at factors that prevent wide spread use of complex activity recognition and discuss research that works to mitigate those factors. Topics will include working with dynamic, opportunistic sensor configurations, collaborative recognition and new sensing modalities.

The “Computing for the Future of the Planet” project is aimed at the intersection of computing and sustainability. An update on progress in the four main areas will be given: an optimal digital infrastructure, sensing and optimising with a global world model, reliably predicting and reacting to the environment, and digital alternatives to physical activities. Practical industrial examples will be presented in addition to longer term research goals.

Context awareness has been central to ubiquitous computing since the beginning. Thousands of systems with contextaware features have been realized in the labs world wide. The influx of mobile devices and the domestication of the WWW have given us great platforms to take context aware systems into the wild. However, commercial systems have so far been mostly limited to basic types of context, such as location. Higher level context awareness (e.g. socially aware software that can gracefully coexist with humans) still seems an elusive goal. Why is this so?
