Wearable technology already is part of our daily lives, but it’s going to play a much bigger role in the future.
While jogging, your shoes can record your running speed, acceleration, path and distance. While taking a subway, the ring you wear can display how far your train is and how soon it will come; it also shows you at which stop you should take a transfer and when the next train will arrive. While putting on your mask in a city with poor air quality, your mask not only protects you, but it also detects and shares the air quality data to the cloud so that everybody can see air quality anywhere in the city on the display of his/her mobile phone. All of these are not just scenarios, but they have become real. Wearable technology has been widely adopted in various end-use segments and become a part of our daily life.

New market opportunities and global competitiveness are limited by qualified people.
Better algorithms and more data could bolster adoption, particularly at advanced nodes.
Showing that a processor core adheres to a specification becomes more difficult when the specification is extensible.
Smaller features and AI are creating system-level issues, but traditional ways of solving these problems don’t always work.
Improvement still needed for uptime, defectivity, line edge roughness and process flows.
2019 will be a year of change for the semiconductor industry as new fields drive technological advancements.
What hoops will designers have to jump through to avoid concurrency bugs?
This new communications standard could transform architectural decisions across the industry, but not right away and not necessarily in obvious ways.
Maximum flexibility is no longer the reliable path to product success. While flexibility must be there for a purpose, it also can be a liability.
Why managing power is becoming more difficult, more critical, and much more expensive.
Analog circuitry stopped following Moore’s Law a long time ago, but that hasn’t always helped.
Battery-powered designs require complex optimizations for power in the context of area, performance and functionality.
Accuracy is a relative term that complicates design and verification. Machine learning makes the industry face some of those realities head on.
