Applications are our Future • Dennis Tsichritzis • Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft • INTEROP-ESA • Geneva • Feb 23, 2005
Applications are our Future • Times are changing in IT • How shall we respond? • Applications as Impulse for Restructurings in German IT Research Landscape • What should we do?
Times are changing Technology / Products / Services / Markets / Investors • Is it a tremor or an earthquake? • 10 +1 Signals
Margins are razor thin Hardware: From key technology to commodity Software: From golden goose to quasi free From importing experts to outsourcing jobs
Markets From corporate driven To consumer driven From rational to modish
Investment in IT From strategic investment To normal capital investment From productivity engine to a cost factor
Companies From start-ups and growth companies To Mergers and Acquisitions From Births to Funerals
Venture Capitalists From chasing ideas To looking at markets and profits From vapor to bucks
Marketing • From selling products • To selling services • From telling to listening
Outsourcing • From „They build, we collect“ • To „Oops! They are moving up the chain“ • Production and R&D have no natural barrier
Software • From proprietary • To open source • Ho do you profit by giving something away?
Technology Innovation • From technology push • To market pull • People want holes not drills
Research directions • From peer vision • To application needs • From Prophets to Bishops
10+1/ Originality and Novelty • From big bang • To intellectual closure • Concepts static, ontology dynamic
We are becoming middle aged • Rich, fat and slow to move • There is nothing wrong but stop behaving like teenagers!!
Applications are our Future • Times are changing in IT • How shall we respond? • Applications as Impulse for Restructurings in German IT Research Landscape • What should we do?
Move up and get involved in: • Health, Transport, Energy, Materials, Entertainment, Education, etc. • Get 10% of all the action
SmartHouse Example External devices: Phones, Notebooks, Cars, Wearables … PC Phone Satellite thermoset Applications: Internet Shopping Home delivery Remote metering Tele-Security Remote maintenance … Security Energygauge RF Wireless RemoteControl(s) Light Sockets waterheating Audio/Video Copper Coax Optical ServiceGateway & System-Manager Sanitaryfacilities Householdappliances According to Fraunhofer IMS
Materials: Adaptronics Materials with integratedactors and sensors can change their structure and adapt to external conditions. Reduction of vibrations, adaptive regulation of safety belts, active suspension of the motor Reduction of vibrations for more precise positioning of robots Automotive Robots Adaptive artificial limbsVibration and noise reduction of diagnosis systems as MRT Medicine
Logistics: Innovative material flow system MultiShuttle • Innovative storage and transport system • Transport of cases / bins • Wide range of application due to combination of storage and transport • Energy supply via rail • Autonomous operating, low price vehicles • Scalable performance(up to 500 dual cycles/hr) • Storage capacity and throughput adjustable • Suitable for unfavorable building sites
Health: Rapid Development of Medication The impact and the toxicity of new pharmaceuticals will be detected by genome- and protein-expression tests. The individual reaction of patients to pharmaceuticals can be demonstrated. Quick identification of pharmaceutical targets by a high-throughput screening Impact profiles New pharmaceuticals will be applied to cells or cell-systems in order to get knowledge about their effect on the human body faster In-vitro test
Health: Regenerative Medicine - Project Cellprom • Main task:Nanoscapes • Development of procedures and devices to create nanoscale macromolecular landscape • Principle:Cellforming • Surface imprinting of cells by nanoscapes • Development of Cell Programming Devices • Result: NanoLandscaper New generation of nanobiotechnological equipment
Image Analysis / Structure Reconstruction -CH3 -CH2-CH3 -CH3 -CH2-CH3 -CH2-CNHS -CH2-CNHS -COOH Text Analysis / Entity Recognition -COOH Reconstruction of Published ChemSpace including PatentSpace Life Sciences: Patent Mining for investment with long-term impact („freedom to operate“)
Strategic Planning: Geographic Data Mining • Integration of geographic and economic parameter • Revenues • Competition • Assortment • Customers • Topology • Geographic distribution How is the purchasing power distributed? How is the product affinity? Where is the customer living?
