Resumen de la charla:
Information&Communication Technology had a tremendous impact on everyday life over the past decades. In the future it will undoubtedly remain one of the major technologies for taking on societal challenges shaping Europe, its values, and its global competitiveness. The aim of the HiPEAC vision is to establish a bridge between these societal challenges and major paradigm shifts accompanied by technical challenges that the computing industry needs to tackle.
The HiPEAC vision is based on seven grand challenges facing our society in decades to come, as put forward by the European Commission: energy, transport and mobility, health, aging population, environment, productivity, and safety. In order to address these challenges, several technologies and applications will have to be pushed beyond their existing state-of-the-art, or even be reinvented completely.
The HiPEAC vision explains how the HiPEAC community can work on these challenges.
