InnoTek 2014 Morning Program Overview Friday, 16 May 2014

InnoTek 2014 Speakers Abstracts and Bios !Jim Kobielus, IBM, "Watson: Core of the Cognitive Revolution"

Abstract: Cognitive computing platforms, such as IBM Watson, are at the very heart of the big-data analytics revolution. Cognitive computing applications are among the most transformative tools in modern business. IBM defines cognitive computing as the ability of automated systems to learn and interact naturally with people to extend what either man or machine could do on their own, thereby helping human experts drill through big data rapidly to make better decisions. Cognitive

computing performance improves over time as systems build knowledge and learn a domain’s language and terminology, its processes and its preferred methods of interacting. In this presentation, Kobielus will discuss the central role of cognitive computing in the big-data revolution. He will go in-depth on the cognitive computing technology at the heart of IBM's Watson roadmap, which now encompasses its entire information management solution and service portfolio.

Bio: James G. Kobielus is an industry veteran. He serves as IBM's big data evangelist; as senior program director for product marketing in big data analytics, and as editor-in-chief of IBM Data Magazine. Kobielus spearheads IBM's thought leadership activities in Big Data, Hadoop, cognitive computing, enterprise data warehousing, and advanced analytics. He advises IBM's product management and marketing teams in all things big data. He has spoken at such leading industry events, has published several business technology books, and is a very popular provider of original commentary on blogs and many social media.

Jeff Greer, KVH Industries, "Engineering's Role in Agile Manufacturing"

Abstract: Jeff Greer joined KVH Industries as Vice President of Operations for their satellite communications division in 1994. At the time KVH was focused on TV receive only products for the leisure marine, RV and automotive markets which were primarily located in North America, Europe, and Australia. Order fulfillment was accomplished with a North American supply chain and its factory in Middletown RI which had a basic competency in lean manufacturing. In addition KVH had a sales and warehouse operation in Kokkedal, Denmark. Over the next several years KVH’s business fundamentals started to change. To reduce product cost KVH

restructured its supply chain to include more global part content. Longer supply chains drove the need for an improved sales and operations planning process. KVH then elected to launch a new line of satellite communication terminals and a novel broadband internet service for ships at sea around the world. This resulted in the build out of a global satellite and terrestrial data transport network which supports new over the top services. To facilitate business growth in its emerging service business, KVH opened four additional sales offices around the world. With larger international customer base KVH expanded the operational capability of its global service network to service ships in ports around the world. Throughout this business transformation KVH’s agile manufacturing capability helped it capture market share on a global basis.

Bio: Jeff Greer is VP of Operations for KVH Industries, a NASDAQ company that specializes in the design and manufacture of satellite communication terminals and delivery of mobile broadband services to ships at sea. Jeff has 30+ years’ experience in global manufacturing operations and service delivery. He holds a MA in Technology Strategy and Policy from Boston University.

!Barry Shoop, USMA at West Point, "Developing Critical Thinking, Creativity & Innovation Skills"

Abstract: A desirable goal of engineering education is to teach students how to think critically and be creative and innovative. However, the speed of technological innovation and the continual expansion of disciplinary knowledge leave little time in the curriculum for students to formally study innovation, particularly at the undergraduate level. At West Point we have developed a novel upper-division interdisciplinary undergraduate engineering course that simultaneously develops the critical thinking, creativity and innovation of our students. This course is structured as a deliberate interactive engagement between students and faculty that

employs the Socratic Method to develop an understanding of disruptive and innovative technologies and a historical context of how social, cultural, and religious factors impact the acceptance or rejection of innovation. The course begins by developing the background understanding of what disruptive technology is and a historical context about successes and failures of social, cultural, and religious acceptance of technological innovation. To develop this framework, students read The Innovator’s Dilemma by Clayton M. Christensen, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas S. Kuhn, The Discoverers by Daniel J. Boorstin, and The Two Cultures by C.P. Snow. For each class meeting, students also read current scientific and technical literature and come prepared to discuss current events related to technological innovation. Each student researches potential disruptive technologies and prepares a compelling argument of why the specific technologies are disruptive so they can defend their choice and rationale. During course meetings students discuss the readings and specific technologies found during their independent research. As part of this research, each student has the opportunity to interview forward thinking technology leaders in their respective fields of interest.

Bio: Barry L. Shoop is Professor of Electrical Engineering and Head of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. During his 20 years at West Point he has served in a number of key leadership positions including Director of the Photonics Research Center and Director of the Electrical Engineering Program. Currently as Professor and Head he is responsible for an undergraduate academic department with over 79 faculty and staff supporting ABET accredited programs in electrical engineering, computer science, and information technology. The department engages over 1800 students each year and has 4 affiliated research centers including the Cyber Research Center, Network Science Center, Photonics Research Center and a burgeoning Robotics Program. Dr. Shoop holds 1 patent and has authored or co-authored 8 books and book chapters, and over 146 publications. He received a B.S. from the Pennsylvania State University in 1980 and Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1992, both in electrical engineering. His research interests include optical information processing, neural networks, image processing, disruptive innovations and educational pedagogy. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, OSA and SPIE, and a member of Phi Kappa Phi, Eta Kappa Nu, and Sigma Xi. He is a licensed Professional Engineer in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

!!!Abstract: The first step in building real-time image acquisition systems is defining what “real-time” actually is for a specific application. In this discussion, Henry will walk through a typical design example, discuss common trade-offs encountered, and show how relative “real-time” can be. Frank will discuss how Digital image processing applies simple to advanced mathematics and algorithms on digital images, sometimes to produce esthetically pleasing images and sometimes to extract information from a scene. This presentation focuses on the latter, extracting information. Techniques such as image filtering, segmentation, pattern recognition, homography, best-fit analysis, and genetic algorithms will be discussed in this context.
