Keynote Speech 1:
“New ICT Waves and the 4th Industrial Revolution”
Dr. Sanghoon Lee, President, Electronics and Telecommunications Research
Institute (ETRI)
Abstract:
The overlapping ICT technological waves swallow every single little thing. In these new waves of ICT, the connectivity between human being and 'the Things' becomes dense and strengthen due to the development of IoT, with Artificial Intelligence (AI) based on big data and cloud systems. This wave comes along with the advent of hyper-augmented world through hyper-connectivity, super-intelligence and ultra-reality. In this circumstance, the returns of scale would be highly come true, which ultimately promotes the fourth industrial revolution.
By riding this new ICT wave, GAFA (Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon) and other digital giants are preparing for a new voyage towards the fourth industrial revolution. Furthermore, leading countries are pushing ahead this transformation by reinforcing their strengths.
Korea has been undergoing the extreme changes of social and economy systems and also makes her own strategies to overcome the forthcoming upheaval. ETRI has proposed Intelligent Digital Transformation (IDX) as a strategy to cope with the fourth industrial revolution by taking advantage of country’s technical strengths.

Keynote Speech 2:
“The Future of the Connected World”
Mr. Patrick Johansson, President & CEO, Ericsson-LG
Abstract:
Networks are the fabric of the Networked Society, where the role of mobility and connectivity expands from serving a few basic use cases to transforming the future of every industry and society at large.
While blazingly fast radio technology is at the heart of 5G, the rest of the system is critical for delivering on the promises of 5G. As the leader in the full end-to-end 5G system, we deliver technology for the real world. Ericsson helps customers take advantage of all the technological advancements in 5G – from more bandwidth than ever, near-zero latency, and much greater density and speed – to a network that efficiently delivers on a diverse set of performance needs through network slicing, flexible deployment, and application optimized networks.
5G is a huge game-changer. There will be enormous gains in performance and capabilities between current technology and 5G. Changes are so drastic that entire industries will ask ‘How can I realize the promise of 5G technology?’ Industries will create new products and services based on the new capabilities of 5G. Operators will deliver higher value services, not just connectivity. And we are embracing our role in enabling the innovation to make all of this happen.

Plenary Session II: Keynote Speeches
10:30-11:30, October 20 (Thursday), 2016
| Time | Title | Invited Speakers |
|---|---|---|
| 10:30-11:30 | Keynote Speech 3: “Vehicle Networking as a New Social Infrastructure” | Dr. Yuji Inoue, Chairman, Toyota Info Technology Center, Japan |
| Keynote Speech 4: “"Global Demands and Standard on Enhanced Dependability in Wireless Networks for Automotive Industries -Highly Reliable and Secure Wireless IoT/M2M for Cars and Factory Automation-"” | Dr. Ryuji Kohno, Professor, Yokohama National University, Japan |
Keynote Speech 3:
“Vehicle Networking as a New Social Infrastructure”
Dr. Yuji Inoue, Chairman, Toyota Info Technology Center, Japan
Abstract:
ITS, Intelligent Transport System with 760 MHz wireless communication was launched in Japan last year as the first V2V & V2I, Vehicle to Vehicle & Vehicle to Infrastructure, system in the world. V2V allows new vehicles to avoid accidents such as rear-end collisions and ones at poor-outlook inter-sections. V2I (at traffic signals) was also introduced to notify drivers existence of pedestrians who are hidden behind big vehicles and to assist handicapped pedestrians by extending traffic light-length.
Automated driving and/or ADAS, Advanced Driving Assist System, will further renovate social infrastructures by its powerful wireless communications and information processing capability. Its capability will not be limited only to the mobility aspects but to new social activities. One of them will be IoT, Internet of Things, based society and industry supported by vehicles. Some examples will be explained in this address.
