Taking Stock Of IoT Standards
By Ann Mutschler - 06 Aug, 2015 - Comments: 0

Trying to make sense of [getkc id="76" comment="Internet of Things"] standards today is like opening a can of worms. Definitions are still shaking out, consortia are popping up quickly, and everyone is in a mad scramble to capture their piece of the much lauded potential of an intimately connected world of devices. With so many points to consider, security is a good place to start. It is ... » read more

How IoE Will Alter Supply Chains
By Ernest Worthman - 06 Aug, 2015 - Comments: 0

Globalization is a double-edged sword. Without a doubt, it nourishes competition, offers a plethora of independent sources, and bounty of supplies from a global pool of vendors. That is the good side. The downside is that control becomes a management nightmare. Well-oiled, traditional supply chains systems will have to be redesigned to function across a variety of variables that can interrupt t... » read more

In-Vehicle Network Design Methodology
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 06 Aug, 2015 - Comments: 0

The complexity of in-vehicle networks puts the traditional design processes to a test. Last-minute changes, difficult verification, testing, and similar issues add to the challenges. However, changing the design paradigm to a structured engineering process can lead to better, cheaper, and easier network designs. With the right tools to support such a process, the network design itself becomes a... » read more

Analog Evolves Into Mixed Signal
By Linh Hong - 06 Aug, 2015 - Comments: 0

Predictions about the Internet of Things suggest this may be the new “Killer App,” something the semiconductor industry has long been looking for. Reinforcing the forecasts are television commercials from companies such as Cisco and GE touting the IoT’s impact on everything from jet engines to robots, capturing everyone’s imagination. New categories of products such as smartwatches will... » read more

Cryptography For ULP Devices
By Ernest Worthman - 06 Aug, 2015 - Comments: 0

Soon virtually everything and everyone will be connected to the IoE in one fashion or another, and much of it will be wireless. To make it all work, these wireless, and low-power devices will need a new paradigm for handling cryptography. Ultra-low power devices have an interesting, and challenging set of metrics. There are, in general, two approaches that can work, with a variety of sub-sce... » read more

The Promise Of NFC For Industry 4.0
By Laurent Darde - 06 Aug, 2015 - Comments: 0

There have been several points, in the history of manufacturing, when technology has truly revolutionized the way products are made. In the early part of the 20th century, the steam engine and electrification led to mass production, and in the 1970s, when robotics, computers, and other types of automation came on the scene, productivity got another big boost. Since then, though, technology has ... » read more

Who’s Driving That Car?
By Ernest Worthman - 06 Aug, 2015 - Comments: 0

In my May blog, I had written a short on the incident where supposedly, airliner's computer system had been compromised by a wayward security researcher from One World Labs. Chris Roberts was his name. Anyway, if you didn’t read about it, the long and short of it is that he hacked a simulator and not a jet. Nevertheless, the issues that raises have implications across the entire transportatio... » read more

The Real Value In Customizing Instructions
By Emerson Hsiao - 06 Aug, 2015 - Comments: 0

One element that distinguishes devices for the emerging IoT market from the mobile devices of the mature handheld market is power. Specifically, while the latter can accept a battery recharge cycle of days, the former demands years between battery recharge/replacement. Where the two devices resemble one another is their need for high performance. While embedded CPU cores have concentrated o... » read more

How Much Security Is Enough?
By Ed Sperling - 20 Jul, 2015 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss the current state of [getkc id="223" kc_name="security"] and what must be done in the future, with Denis Noël, head of cyber security solutions at [getentity id="22499" e_name="NXP"]; Serge Leef, vice president of new ventures at [getentity id="22017" e_name="Mentor Graphics"]; Andreas Kuehlman, senior vice president and general manager of the soft... » read more

Data Centers At Risk
By Ed Sperling - 06 Jul, 2015 - Comments: 0

Large companies have been utilizing private clouds for the past half-decade as a way to safeguard their data and still take advantage of outsourcing economics. Using that approach, the data center has become an in-house service provider with its own P&L, which is why there has been such a push to improve efficiency well beyond the server consolidation that was made possible with virtualization.... » read more
