Scaling to a Trillion IoT Devices

Abstract: ARM microprocessor technologies in embedded compute and IoT service management through Pelion Platform are central to many existing and emerging distributed IoT services. As an increasing number of value added application services are deployed there are significant challenges to be overcome  in scale to a future which sees  a trillion managed devices. This talk will cover an overview of arms  research activities and emerging collaborations within the broad IoT space ranging from energy harvesting sensor nodes to full data lifecycle privacy and attestation services. With a focus on developing technologies that address barriers to successful proliferation and deployment, including secure service operations and data lifecycle management the presentation is intended to set a perspective on challenges ahead and result in some lively debate and dialog on emerging research questions and trajectories.

Bio: John Goodenough serves as VP of Research Collaboration & Standards for ARM.  Overseeing ARM's global portfolio of collaborative research from device physics to new service architectures, one of his current focus areas is on the strategy for future research and standardization to address scaling out of IoT services.  Dr Goodenough holds a PhD in Heterogenous VLSI Systems Architecture from the University of Sheffield where he founded Infinite Designs, a SOC design and consulting group involved in early WiFi chipset developments. Infinite was acquired by ARM in 2000 where Dr Goodenough has held a variety of technology strategy, commercial and  leadership roles in areas ranging from building out teams in SoC design and M&A integration, driving technical strategies for Microprocessor Validation & Implementation and running service operations for global scaled out HPC infrastructure support 3500 engineers.
