DESCRIPTION/ABSTRACT: Panel One: This panel provides a visionary look at where the Internet and communications capabilities are headed—new applications, new ways in which we interact with the Internet—all the exciting, imaginative things that are, by the way, running us out of capacity at breakneck speed. There will be a number of live demonstrations of advanced technology such as streaming 4K Digital cinema, live audio mixing, telemedicine applications and a look at some of the latest software expanding social computing (tagging) capabilities. Panel Two: The second session calls to attention the extreme challenges and technological innovations needed to ensure greater infrastructure capabilities, bandwidth capacity, and support for low power mobile devices -- all of which must be addressed to ensure the future of the Internet. Topics covered will include a discussion of the limits of optical fiber capacities, and a bold initiative to solve the problem of capacity exhaust. Speakers will also address the mobile side, including the latest technological advances—such as sub-terahertz wireless communications—being developed to address the challenges presented by Internet-enabled mobile communication, coupled with cloud computing and adjunct devices such as netbook computers. SPEAKER BIO: Panel Two: Chaired by Andrew Chraplyvy, Director, Lightwave Systems Research, Bell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent, and Marconi Fellow; and Theodore Rappaport, Director, Wireless Networking and Communications, UT Austin; Other Speakers: Robert Tkach, Director, Transmission Systems Research, Bell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent, Marconi Fellow; and Peter Winzer, Director, Optical Transmission Systems and Networks Research, Bell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent.
