  1. Hi, I am Noble. Publicity chair Ubicomp & International Symposium

    on Wearable Computers (ISWC) Award winning startup founder, LynxFit Product Executive @ Dublabs
  2. Overview • Optimizing for Ubicomp: Human Interfaces, Security, & Data

    ◦ Definitions ◦ HCI principles: Simplicity, Contextual, Timely • The promise of ubiquitous computing ◦ Example benefit: how sensors helps first responders ◦ Example risk: mirai & vulnerable connected devices • Interoperability, Security, & Privacy ◦ Security/privacy first approach to development • Big Data Integrity, Statistical Modeling & Algorithms ◦ Shoutout: Weapons of Math Destruction by Cathy O'Neil • Conclusions/Lessons learned
  3. Definitions Ubiquitous computing (or "ubicomp") is a concept where computing

    is made to appear anytime and everywhere. Falls to the background and only available when you need it.
  4. Optimize for the human first “Start with the problem and

    work back to the technology” ~ Steve Jobs
  5. First responders & IOT Sensors sending context aware, timely information

    in an intuitive way in a mission critical situation.
  6. Risks, & where we are today • Guidance, legal, and

    the role of government • Uber example • Mirai example
  7. Conclusions “How do we start to regulate the mathematical models

    that run more and more of our lives? I would suggest that the process begin with the modelers themselves. Like doctors, data scientists should pledge a Hippocratic Oath, one that focuses on the possible misuses and misinterpretations of their models.” Weapons of Math Destruction Cathy O'Neil
