Plenary Sessions (Nov 19, 2012):
09:30-18:15
Bougainvillea Hall, 5/F, Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center

09:30-10:00 Opening Remarks by
Stephen Dukes (President, IEEE Consumer Electronics Society)
Wang Xuewei (Vice Chairman of China Hi-Tech Fair; Vice Chairman of Shenzhen CPPCC)
Stefan Mozar (VP Conferences and President-Elect, IEEE Consumer Electronics Society)

10:00-10:30 “Storing Your Life, You're Part of the Zetabyte Future” by
Thomas Coughlin (VP Operations and Planning, IEEE Consumer Electronics Society; Director-Elect, IEEE Region 6)
This presentation discusses the drivers for consumer digital storage, the different mobile and static usage models for digital storage in consumer devices and the resulting consumer storage hierarchy. Important characteristics of consumer storage devices are shown and guidelines are given for how digital storage should be designed in consumer devices. Demand for higher resolution content and for capturing ever greater details of the life of family members will drive increases in commercial as well as personal content storage demand. Sharing of content within a home or over the Internet creates much greater demand for storage since a shared file can be multiplied many times through network sharing. Implementation of a virtualized integrated storage utility into most homes with appropriate ease of use, suitable for consumers, will benefit customers by providing greater access to data as well as enhanced content protection using local as well as remote storage.

10:30-11:00 “A New and Very Efficient Way to Implement Analog-to-Digital Converter” by
Nicholas Vun (Co-founder, IEEE Consumer Electronics Society Singapore Chapter; Associate Editor, IEEE Consumer Electronics Magazine; Associate Professor, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore)

11:00-11:30 “Strategy and Investigation of Intellectual Property in Consume Electronics” by
T. Gary Yip (Investigator - Intellectual Property in Electronic Systems; Consultant - Product Analysis and System Integration)

11:30-12:00 “Cloud Computing and Standards” by
Stephen L. Diamond (Chair, IEEE Cloud Computing Initiative; General Manager, Industry Standards Office, EMC)

12:00-14:00 Lunch Break

14:00-14:30 “Technology Challenges for Cellular Wireless Communications” by
Larry Zhang (Past President, IEEE Consumer Electronics Society; Member, IEEE Spectrum Chinese Edition Advisory board)
Since the emergence of the cellular phones in the 1980s, the cellular wireless technology and consumer electronics landscape have changed dramatically. Semiconductor cellular chipset and wireless RF development and research have moved from 2G GSM/EDGE, 3G WCDMA to 4G LTE/WiMax and beyond. Device complexity has moved from many chips to modules to system on a chip (SOC). This technology evolution has experienced many technology challenges and innovations that will continue. These challenges come from the silicon technology for device manufacturing, design, test, functionality and speed requirement for higher data rate; the software development challenges for signal processing, usability, voice, video, data, graphics processing, and big data; the integration challenges also come from improving the efficiencies for all the resources and layers for wireless communications.

14:30-15:00 “UL2755, the New Safety Standard for Containerized Data Center (New Engine to Boost Cloud Services)” by
Chris CH Lin (Global Business Development Manager for Computers and Peripherals product categories, UL; Greater China BDM for all High-Tech product categories, UL)

15:00-15:30 “New Challenges in Vehicular Systems” by
Jinshi Zhang (General Manager, Redflag Software Co. Ltd. Embedded Division)

15:30-16:00 “DSP Technology or Consumer Electronics Devices, who is leading Consumer?” by
Sharon Peng (Treasurer, IEEE Consumer Electronics Society; VP Operations and Planning - Elect, IEEE Consumer Electronics Society; Principal Video Engineer, Senior Engineering Manager for digital hardware development, and Director of Advanced Technology Group of Lifestyle division, Harman)

16:00-16:15 Tea Break

16:15-16:45 Distinguished Lecture: “'A Day Made of Glass' – A Vision for an Enabled Future: Challenges and Opportunities” by
Zachi Baharav (Distinguished Lecturer, IEEE Consumer Electronics Society; Researcher, Corning West Technology Center, Corning Incorporated)
Corning’s “A Day Made of Glass” video was posted to YouTube.com in February, 2011. Since then, it has been viewed more than 19 million times, received more than 11,000 comments, and about 64,000 ‘likes!’ The vision depicted in the video resonated with many viewers as it describes a not-too-far-away future that is very optimistic in nature and promises to make our lives easier.
In this talk we will describe how the vision proposed in “A Day Made of Glass” keeps on evolving, and the various technological efforts Corning and others are leading to make it a reality. We will cover various aspects of this issue ranging from the front end user interface, enabling technologies and the whole ecosystem needed to make it a reality.

16:45-17:15 Finale keynote by
Stefan Mozar (VP Conferences and President-Elect, IEEE Consumer Electronics Society)

17:15-18:15 Awards Ceremony
