Beschreibung
Von Mai bis Dezember wird online das 60. Jubiläum derInternational Federation of Information Processing (IFIP) gefeiert . Die 1960 gegründete internationale Organisation ist ein Dachverband für über 40 Informatik-Gesellschaften aus aller Welt, darunter auch die GI. Die Organisation hat über 3500 Einzelmitglieder und ermöglicht diesen Expert*innen einen fachlichen Austausch in über 100 Arbeitsgruppen.
Um das 60. Bestehen der Organisation virtuell zu feiern, finden von August bis Dezember zehn virtuelle Panels zum Thema Future of Information Processing statt. Die Eventreihe wird von Mitgliedern der IFIP organisiert und gibt Expert*innen eine Bühne, über diverse Themen wie autonomes Fahren, Ethik in der Informatik und Cybersicherheit zu sprechen. Die Veranstaltungen sind frei zugänglich und Aufzeichnungen werden im Nachgang im Netz zur Verfügung gestellt.
Das zweite Event der Reihe - Digital Twin for Cyber-physical Production Systems - findet am 13. September um 15 Uhr statt (Veranstaltungsspache ist Englisch).
Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) are one of the pillars for the new industrial revolution, which is marked by the decentralization of production processes as well as the proliferation of interconnected intelligent devices throughout the production and logistics chain. Embedded computers and networks monitor and control the physical processes with feedback loops in which physical processes affect computations and vice versa. An industrial automation system is an example of CPS where computational elements control and automate the execution of physical processes in industrial plants. Thus, it is clear the need to connect physical objects to information associated with these objects in the cyber world. In CPS, for each product, machine or equipment, a virtual (logical) representation needs to be developed with its actual physical description. This process is known as virtualization and its product, the digital twin, is one of the consequences of Industry 4.0.
Participation is open to anyone and free of charge. You can register for the event here.
About the Future of Information Processing Event Series
The Event Series consists of ten events in total, featuring IFIP experts and high-level guests discussing questions arising at the intersection of technology and the information society. The events be online panels of 75 minutes each consisting of short speeches, a moderated discussion and a Q&A with the audience. Recordings of the events will be made available on YouTube. Information and registration links for the following events will be available shortly on the IFIP 60th Jubilee Web Site.
