Bell Labs Chief Scientist Alice White will lead Bell Labs researchers, showcasing a rich history of telecommunications and the latest emerging innovations.

From Alexander Graham Bell’s original telephone to the transistor, laser, solar cells, satellites, broadband and more, Bell Labs (opens external site) has produced fundamental breakthroughs that have shaped industry over the 20th Century and enable modern telecommunication.

The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and Alcatel-Lucent collaboration began a decade ago with a research partnership and in recent times has lead to a joint program providing an opportunity for UTS students to gain practical industry level skills and certification with their Masters degree, connecting students to the Australian National Broadband Network.

This Public lecture will provide an opportunity for those interested in the Bell Labs Chief Scientist’s view of “An Innovation View of the World” and how its leading researchers address challenges in the emerging ubiquitous broadband world including Immersive Applications of the Future, Toward a Cloud Operating System, and The Emerging Directions of Wireless.

Topics and Speakers:

Immersive Applications of the Future - Jan Bouwen, Bell Labs Residential Applications Research Director.
A member of the Future Media Internet - Think Tank (FMIA-TT), Jan will describe a Future Internet that will interface, interconnect, integrate and expand today's Internet, public and private intranets and communication networks of any type and scale. This enriched environment will provide efficient, transparent and secure highly demanding applications and services to humans and systems.

The Emerging Directions of Wireless - Tod Sizer, Bell Labs Head of Wireless Research
A member of the Future Media Internet - Think Tank (FMIA-TT), Jan will describe a Future Internet that will interface, interconnect, integrate and expand today's Internet, public and private intranets and communication networks of any type and scale. This enriched environment will provide efficient, transparent and secure highly demanding applications and services to humans and systems.

Toward a Cloud Operating System - Moritz Steiner, Computer Networking Researcher
Cloud computing is characterized today by a hotchpotch of elements and solutions. Tomorrow, incorporating telecommunications networks, it must feature a virtual distributed operating system, a Cloud OS, as a catalyst in unlocking the real potential of Cloud - a computing platform with seemingly infinite CPU, memory, storage and network resources.
