Tutorial: Strategic Technology Planning: Tracking, Prioritization and Transfer
(04C)
5:00 pm - 6:00 pm 23 March 2003
Linden, Alex
We identify best practices in managing the emerging technology adoption process and examine techniques and models for visioning, prediction, technology tracking and opportunity evaluation.
- How can technology planners identify the technologies and applications that will generate maximum benefit for the organization?
- What are the most effective strategies and tactics for managing the evaluation, transfer and deployment of advanced technologies?
- How will advanced technologies groups adapt their role and mission to changing organizational demands?
- Where can technology planners look to identify future directions and opportunities in emerging technologies?
Lead Presentation: Mobile Technology and Business Scenario
(16G)
3:30 pm - 4:30 pm 24 March 2003
Redman, Phil
This presentation sets the scene with Gartner’s high-level overview of mobile business and technology through 2008. This presentation sets the stage for the entire conference with a world-view of the technology trends, commercial trends, social impact of mobility in the "always-on society," and the economic and usability barriers of mobile services. We will examine some of the key risks that mobile vendors and users will face in a future of accelerating technological and business change.
- How will the evolution of wireless devices, service and technologies affect enterprises?
- Which vendors will deliver effective mobile and wireless technologies, devices, infrastructure, applications and content?
- What are the opportunities and risks in mobilizing business processes and practices?
Lead Presentation: 2003 Technology Radar Screen: Emerging Trends and Technologies Scenario
(17F)
5:00 pm - 6:00 pm 24 March 2003
Fenn, Jackie
Gartner's technology radar screen examines the evolution of IT during the next decade, with particular focus on disruptive and high-impact technologies and the transformations they will bring in business and society.
- Which advances will trigger a revolutionary leap, rather than an evolutionary crawl, in the power of IT?
- What are the most disruptive trends and most significant opportunities arising from emerging information technology?
- How can technology planners identify the technologies and applications that will generate maximum benefit for the organization?
The Technology and Sociology of the Connected Society
(23F)
11:30 am - 12:30 pm 25 March 2003
Jones, Nick
By 2007, the average EU and U.S. citizen will carry several wireless data devices and will be no more than 30 seconds from Web access at all times. He/she will be able to involve Web services in any decision or action. This presentation examines the risks and opportunities faced by governments, enterprises and individuals as the always-on generation evolves.
- What challenges and opportunities will the always-on, connected society pose for business, society and government?
- How will key technologies -- including communities, messaging, personal peer to peer and me-services -- be deployed by business and consumers in support of the always-on connected society?
- How should organizations identify discontinuities and opportunities resulting from the connected society?
The Connected Enterprise
(41F)
8:00 am - 9:00 am 27 March 2003
Hayward, Simon White, Andrew
The networked world will transform connectivity in the supply chain, the e-workplace, collaboration between enterprises, and how enterprises touch customers during the next decade. We examine the challenges and opportunities arising from the new value networks among the workforce, enterprises, customers and suppliers.
- How will enterprises leverage technology to optimize internal operations and redefine enterprise boundaries?
- Which technologies will have the greatest potential to boost the productivity of the individual employee?
- How will enterprises take advantage of an always-connected, instantly accessible trading grid of suppliers and customers?
From Silicon to Airwaves: Predicting the Long View of Systems and Networking
(42H)
9:30 am - 10:30 am 27 March 2003
Baylock, Joe Reynolds, Martin
The symbiotic relationship between processor power, portability, bandwidth and applications has always driven IT industry growth. The extent to which growth will accelerate or decelerate will depend on advances in these system attributes and their cost trends. This presentation integrates our research across semiconductors, hardware platforms, operating systems, and networking into one holistic view of where the industry is going over the next 10 to 15 years. A PhD in physics is not required -- only an interest in possible road maps to the future.
- Will Moore's Law remain valid over the next 10 years?
- How close to "free" will the various types of metro, long-haul and wireless bandwidth become?
- Where will the bottlenecks to a fully interconnected world appear?
- Will regulatory change (or the lack of it) stymie industry growth?
Peripheral Vision: Talking About the Cutting Edge
(45A)
1:30 pm - 2:30 pm 27 March 2003
Linden, Alex
Here, we present a broad selection of cutting-edge technologies and discuss their implications on work, enterprises and social life. Trends to be included are semantic Web, grid computing, ID services, new forms of data mining, intelligent agents, and new user interfaces.
- Which emerging and embryonic technologies should early adopters be examining for competitive advantage?
- What are the most disruptive trends and most significant opportunities arising from emerging IT?
Taxonomies and Ontologies -- Putting Knowledge to Work
(47F)
4:30 pm - 5:30 pm 27 March 2003
Linden, Alex
Thesauri, taxonomies and ontologies are quickly becoming an integral part of any sound knowledge management. This presentation will explain these, including more advanced concepts like ontologies. Most importantly, the how-to and what-for will be illuminated and the future market evolution will be analyzed.
- How can thesauri, taxonomies and ontologies boost information access?
- What are the effective strategies that can enable successful deployment?
- How will the market for information access technologies evolve?
