Today’s industrial processes are mostly linear and designed for
high throughput. Following the trends of mass customization,
commoditization of physical goods and augmentation by digital
services, industry is just about experiencing a digital revolution.
Connecting machines for enabling analytics and control
is not new by itself. The paradigm of Internet of Things, however,
brings connectivity and exchange of data to a new level:
connectivity and access to machine-generated data becomes
a new default requiring new models of a shared understanding
of data in order to generate value out of the massive amount of
emerging data.This talk will discuss how semantic technologies
can help to add machine comprehensible domain knowledge to
data. Florian will introduce the concept of activity streams establishing
high-level coordination among machines for human-robot
collaboration. This talk will conclude deriving research questions
the HCI community may approach in order to help to develop an
industrial Web of Systems.
Vita
Florian Michahelles
heads the Web of
Things research
group of Siemen Corporate
Technology in
Berkeley, California.
Florian leads a team
of researchers
who aim at making
machines devices in industrial environments
smarter and more collaborative. Together with
academic partners, as well as startups and
corporate research groups the team explores
the opportunities of web-based communication
and semantic technologies for Siemens business
areas. Florian also teaches a course on
Internet of Things at UC Berkeley and studies
how students can develop mesh-up Internet
of Things applications based on the team's
communication framework.
Prior his engagement with Siemens, Florian
has been working on identifying consumer
products via RFID and barcode and relating
information and products to physical goods
via mobile applications. Following his stint as
Director of the Auto-ID lab and lecturer at ETH
Zurich, he came to Siemens Corporate Technology
to ramp up his own team and is now
looking to develop applications for semantic
technologies.
He holds a PhD from ETH Zurich, a MSc from
LMU Munich, and has been a visiting researcher
at MIT Sloan and Keio University.
Florian has published 100+ academic papers
in international conferences and journals and
is actively supporting the research community
by voluntary roles as program chair, research
proposal evaluator and guest lecturer. He has
been ranked at #21 within the Top 100 IoT
Thinkers by Postscapes.
