This year’s keynote speakers are rock stars in their respective industries. Dr. Dennis Ong is a TEDx speaker, architect, and head of the 5G Mobility at Verizon Smart Communities. Previously, he was chief architect and director at Nokia where he led the systems engineering team for the loT IMPACT platform, which received the “Best loT Innovation for Mobile Networks” award at Mobile World Congress. At Alcatel-Lucent, Dr. Ong’s team collaborated with three start-ups creating a highly scalable analytics video optimization platform that served 50 million people worldwide.

Dr. Ong’s keynote speech is 4 November and it’s titled: “5G – Enabling Industrial Mobile Robots, Industrial loT, and Autonomous Vehicles.”

Another distinguished keynote speaker is Dr. John Thomas, Executive Director of MIT’s Engineering Systems Laboratory. He has researched engineering mistakes, design flaws, and human error to develop more effective methods to prevent them. He teaches classes on system safety, cybersecurity, system engineering software, digital hardware engineering, human factors, and system architecture. Dr. Thomas’ work has been widely adopted throughout the industry, including techniques for developing requirements, anticipating unexpected or dysfunctional interactions in engineered systems, analyzing software-intensive systems, human-centered design processes, and others.

Dr. Thomas will address the audience 5 November and his topic is titled: “A Systems Approach to Safety.”
