enabling an Open internet of thingsAnind Dey, Director, Human-Computer Interaction Institute, Carnegie Mellonthere has been a lot of hype about the internet of things, with some predicting that it will be a multi-billion dollar industry in the coming years. in order to create smart environments full of sensors and actuators and applications that are really

compelling in buildings and cities, there needs to be considerable effort in infrastructure. While some infrastructures exist, most are closed ecosystems. in this presentation, Anind will describe a vision for the internet of things, illustrate some of the challenges in building an open infrastructure that anyone can engage with, and demonstrate some of our initial progress towards this vision.

Anind K. Dey is the Charles M. Geschke Chair and Director of the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. He leads the Ubicomp Lab, which performs research at the intersection of ubiquitous computing, human-computer interaction and machine learning, in the areas of mobile computing, health and sustainability among others. He has authored over 100 papers on these topics, serves on the editorial board of several journals, and is a member of the prestigious CHI Academy. Anind received his PhD in computer science from Georgia Tech, along with a Master’s of Science in both Computer Science and Aerospace Engineering. He received his Bachelors of Applied Science in Computer Engineering from Simon Fraser University.

a Great american Comeback: Pittsburgh’s Story of transformation through innovationBill Flanagan, Chief Corporate Relations Officer, Allegheny Conference on Community Developmentthe Pittsburgh region is getting global attention for its economic, environmental and quality of life transformation over the course of a generation. frequently ranked among the top places to live and work in the united States, the former industrial city has emerged as a center of knowledge industries, including materials science, robotics, software engineering, health care and life sciences, finance and energy. Bill flanagan came to the region in the early 1980s, when the jobless rate was 18% and 50,000 people a year were moving away. he covered the region’s comeback for 20 years as a broadcast business reporter and has worked

directly in economic and community development in the years since. Bill will share Pittsburgh’s secrets of civic engineering.

Bill Flanagan is an experienced broadcast journalist and storyteller who has spent the past 14 years at the Allegheny Conference on Community Development as Chief Corporate Relations Officer. The Conference, a non-profit community and economic development organization works to improve the economy and quality of life of the ten county Pittsburgh region of southwestern Pennsylvania. Bill also serves as producer and host of “Our Region’s Business,” a weekly business public affairs program on WPXI-TV and the Pittsburgh Cable News Channel. Bill came to Pittsburgh in 1982 to work as a general assignment reporter and later Money Editor for KDKA-TV. Bill serves on the boards of Leadership Pittsburgh, Inc and the Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area. He is a member of the advisory board for the National Academies of Science and Engineering Ambassador Program.

the awkward Realities of B2B innovation: Why they’ll laugh at us in 20 Years Dan Adams, President, AIM Institute many practices we once accepted as ‘normal’ now look out-of-date, e.g. how we control quality, make financial decisions, and sell products. customer-facing innovation is the fount of profitable, sustainable growth… so what if you could peek into the future to see what will change? here’s just one awkward reality: do you explore market needs by launching products at customers, to see what they’ll buy? if you fixed this and other innovation oddities now, you’d have a competitive advantage that would almost seem unfair.Dan Adams is the founder of The AIM Institute, and author of New Product Blueprinting: The Handbook for B2B Organic Growth. He is a chemical engineer and holds many patents and innovation awards, including a listing in the National Inventors Hall of

Fame. He has trained thousands of B2B professionals in his revolutionary innovation methods on five continents, and provides thought leadership through his blog, “Awkward Realities,” and newsletter, “B2B Organic Growth.”

Short Course Program DescriptionPolyurethanes are one of the most versatile chemistries used in many adhesive applications due to their outstanding ability to bond a variety of substrates in both rigid and flexible applications. With versatility, however, comes complexity. optimization of polyurethane technology is enhanced by a thorough understand-ing of the reactions between isocyanates, diols, chain extenders and the resulting morphology. this intensive two day short course will cover the chemistry and technology behind 1 and 2 part polyurethane adhesives and sealants including markets, raw materials, reactions, formulating, fundamentals of adhesion, polymer science and physical testing. the course material provided by experts in the field, discussions and networking with peers, suppliers, and manufacturers will present an opportunity to advance your knowledge on how to design, select, apply and trouble shoot polyurethane adhesives and ultimately add to your bottom line.

the Polyurethane Adhesives Short course is designed to provide technical professionals a better understanding of the chemistry, technology and fundamentals of polyurethane adhesive and sealants. A knowledge of chemistry is required for full appreciation of course content. technically oriented business professionals will broaden their knowledge, expand their network and meet the next experts in the supplier, formulating and end user community. review the complete line-up of presenters below.
