A modern car is more than just transport, it provides comfortable heating and cooling, navigation systems, entertainment systems, and a lot of data about the car's health and performance. Including how well you are conserving fuel or when to seek service. All of this is a challenge to present to the driver and passengers, without distraction to driving, under all conditions from bright daylight to the dark of night, in any temperature. We talk about both Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and Light Emitting Diode (LED) component solutions that keep your dashboard simple, readable, and helpful. Watch Video Presentation

In this session, a panel of multi-disciplinary experts will describe and discuss the challenges of securing the connected world around us. The session will cover three major facets of creating secure solutions, addressing the challenges and emerging trends for: *Device Security - Securing edge nodes, smart cards, certifications *Network Security - Secure data transmission, security protocols *Internet of Things Security -Trust, crypto, tamper Subject matter experts will present an overview of each of these topics, followed by an interactive dialogue with the audience. It is hoped that the audience will gain a high-level understanding of the multi-faceted challenges of securing end to end solutions, and how semiconductor companies will work with ecosystem partners, innovators, and policy makers to address those challenges.

As the Smart Home starts to gather momentum, a number of competing Wireless Communication standards are fighting for dominance. With ZigBee® now becoming dominant in the low-power networking market, there is no surprise that two new low power technology Thread and Bluetooth® Low Energy with the new Mesh capability are both trying to enter this market to get a piece of the cake. Moreover competing IoT platforms from the Thread Group (Google/Nest), Allseen Alliance (Qualcomm), Apple's Homekit, the Open Interconnect Consortium (Intel) and many others are creating even more confusion. So in this confusing array of Wireless Communication standards and Iot platforms, what are the main features of each and what does it means for NXP? This session will provide an overview of these Wireless connectivity standards and IoT platforms, their capabilities, and their implication for NXP IoT. Watch Video Presentation

Participants will use the Sensor Dataloggers from the previous class to gather data representing specific Sensor events and/or signatures. The participants will then use the Sensor Mining and Algorithm Development tool to create some simple algorithms for Accelerometers, Magnetometers, and Gyroscopes. By the end of this hands-on class, the attendees will have gathered Sensor experience using tools to quickly create and test algorithms.

The first step to creating a smart sensor algorithm is collecting sensor data for analyses. This session will present a series of sensor data logging options which allow engineers to create dataloggers quickly using Kinetis SDK framework by including IS-SDK without having to concerning themselves with any mudance sensor integration efforts.

This session will provide customers the opportunity to meet with a variety of LPC engineers and marketers to discuss critical topics for today's embedded applications, such as security, connectivity, power consumption, and time-to-market. Attendees will have the opportunity to discuss the latest LPC roadmap, ask technical questions, and provide direct feedback to the LPC leadership team.

Providing power for the latest processors used in ADAS systems combines best practices from both the automotive and networking disciplines. Linear Technology’s deep knowledge in both fields and years of supporting applications for automotive and networking systems, including new standards such Power Over Data Line (PoDL) will ensure a robust power supply network for your applications. In this session Dave Dwelley, Office the CTO at Linear Technology, will discuss a roadmap to success as the data center on wheels becomes a reality.

The innovative LPC portfolio of MCUs, based on ARM® Cortex®-M cores, continues to expand to support next-generation performance, power, security and connectivity needs for many applications. This session will provide an overview of the LPC MCU portfolio, focusing on the latest products and enablement available today. Attendees will gain a better understanding of how to find the right solution to get started with an LPC-based design.

The Influencers Summit brings some of the smartest and most influential people together to openly share, debate, and learn from one another. The session provides a panel discussion with experts, followed by an opportunity for attendees to participate in roundtable discussions with IoT Security influencers. Topics that will be covered include: What plans are in place for regulating IoT activity? What needs to be done to ensure Security and Privacy concerns do not hinder future developments and deployments of IoT? How do attackers compromise connected devices?
