The general concept of basic automotive security has been around for a number of years. Nevertheless, its scale and scope is rapidly evolving, with new classes of vulnerabilities brought to the fore as more and more electronic systems go online. Put simply, the automotive industry is connecting systems that weren’t originally designed to be part of the rapidly burgeoning Internet of Things (I... » read more

Exploring System Architectures For Data-Intensive Applications
By Steven Woo - 08 Oct, 2015 - Comments: 0

The exponential growth of digital data is being driven by a number of factors, including the burgeoning Internet of Things (IoT) and an increased reliance on complex analytics extracted from extremely large data sets. Perhaps not surprisingly, IDC analysts see digital data doubling roughly every two years. This dramatic growth continues to challenge, and in some cases, even outpace industry cap... » read more
