IEEE Celebrates Its 125th Anniversary Presenting Emerging, World Changing Technologies During Its 'Embracing Human Technology Interactions' M...(his work and that of scientists around t...)

• Mr. Krishna Palem, IEEE Fellow, Professor, George Brown School of Engineering, Rice University - Dr. Palem developed probabilistic chip technology, a technology which trades off precision in calculations for significant reductions in energy use allowing devices such as cell phones to be recharged every few weeks rather than every few days. Using this technology, Dr. Palem has created an LED roll-up "slate" allowing access to educational materials to students in impoverished/remote areas at a very low cost and utilizing very little energy, providing an opportunity to assist with access of educational materials globally.

• Dr. Roy Want, IEEE Fellow, Senior Principal Engineer, Intel Corporation - Dr. Want is building a mobile solution called Dynamic Composable Computing that will vastly improve the performance of mobile devices and provide the capability of sharing multiple resources between computers, including displays, networks, processing, storage and peripherals. For example, if a mobile phone user does not have a camera phone; one would have the ability to wirelessly access the camera of another nearby device, assuming permission had been granted.
