Abstract:
As the world becomes more and more global, integrated and "flat", it is also facing an array of problems: a financial crisis, climate disruption, energy geopolitics, food supply hazards etc. This is coinciding with technological innovations such as the following developments that can assist in resolving these problems:
  • The world is becoming instrumented. There are a billion transistors per human, each one costing one ten millionth of a cent.
  • The world is becoming interconnected. With a trillion networked things cars, roadways, pipelines, appliances, pharmaceuticals and even livestock the amount of information created by those interactions grows exponentially.
  • Cloud computing and mobile computing are changing how software is deployed and used throughout the world.
  • All things are becoming intelligent. Algorithms and powerful systems turn those mountains of data into decisions and actions that can make the world work better. Smarter.
As the world's leading globally integrated IT company, IBM is attempting to use modern IT
technology to tackle many of the world's problems. In this presentation, Lennart Frantzell will talk
about IBM's global smarter planet initiative in its quest to make the world a smarter place.
