The Catch-up Game: Quest for the Impact

Abstract: This talk is about numerous technologies I worked on over the last 39 years beginning with the first generation of 10 Mbps Ethernet. Several technologies are no longer around and some are. History is written by the winners and so the technologies that succeed are the one's that count. What makes some technologies succeed and others fail? How to ensure that your research is adopted by the industry? Some of the current trends, including micro clouds, edge computing, multi clouds, IoT, security, and blockchains will then be discussed.
