Everything computes, and everything is connectedTuesday, October 26, 2010 | 10:15 – 10:45 a.m. | A1
Doug Fisher, Vice President, Software and Services Group | General Manager, Systems Software Division
Computing is entering into a new era where mobile device growth and user expectations will drive fundamental changes to all areas within the computing and software ecosystem. These changing patterns will require new and innovative solutions across the entire compute continuum, from the server clouds and data centers to notebooks, netbooks and tablets to mobile phones, automotive infotainment and connected ‘smart signs’. The consistent theme across all of these usage models will be the always connected and secure, and computing everywhere with richer and richer user experiences. Intel’s® vision for the compute continuum is tightly integrated with the growing availability of wireless broadband connectivity.
To meet the needs of these different use models and device types, multiple operating systems and multiple operating system types will be required and Intel’s goal is to make sure they all run best on Intel Architecture. To further meet the needs of cross device computing usage, Intel is partnering with the Linux Foundation to provide an Open Source OS designed from the bottom -up to meet the demands of this new era of computing, and that OS is MeeGo. In a new era of computing where everything computes and everything is connected, success will be defined by how well we in the ecosystem meet user needs across the entire compute continuum.

Laura Merling, Vice President, Developer Platform and Services, Alcatel - Lucent
The complexity and fragmentation of today’s communication and content industries presents challenges to both service providers and developers in creating innovative and seamless new applications for mobile subscribers. Mobile application developers are faced with thousands of devices, hundreds of mobile networks and a rapidly growing selection of app stores. And as developers limit their focus on what they view as key market opportunities, mobile operators are challenged with accessing the world’s most talented developers to build game-changing concepts that leverage the best of the network for subscribers. This session will address: • Choosing the right business model for growth • Out of pocket expenses for developers that inhibit innovation of applications for operator networks • Network security fears and API access security • Diverse application store requirements, publishing to multiple stores with multiple requirements • Network and device complexity that limits development and subscriber access to innovative applications • Bandwidth hungry applications and network investment
Telecommunications networks can offer developers significant advantages as an application platform. Attend this session to find out how you can use the network to differentiate your application in an increasingly crowded and complex market.
