: In this talk, high-speed free space optics communication (FSO) technologies will be reviewed and introduced. Then we will design and demonstrate two proposed FSO schemes. The first scheme is bi-directional short-range free-space optical (FSO) communication with 2×4×10 Gb/s capacity in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) channels short transmission distance. The single-mode-fiber components are used in the optical terminals for both optical transmitting and receiving functions. The measured power penalties for bi-directional, four-channel WDM FSO communication are less than 0.8 dB and 0.2 dB, compared with the back-to-back link and uni-directional transmission system, respectively. The second scheme is hybrid optical fiber and FSO link in outdoor environments such as cross bridge or inter-building system. A sensor head is used for monitoring the condition of bridge, and in the case of the bridge being damaged the transmission path could be changed from fiber link to FSO link to ensure data link connectivity. In both cases, the single-mode-fiber (SMF) components are used in the optical terminals for both optical transmitting and receiving functions. The influences of environmental factor including window glasses, air turbulence and rainfall will also be addressed. The colorless and colored window glasses introduce losses under various incident angles, but did not induce substantial power penalties. The air turbulence induces extra transmission loss and instability in the received power. Raindrops are the most influential environmental factor. The bit error rate (BER) test shows that raindrops result in a seriously impaired BER to interrupt the transmission instantaneously. After appropriate performance improvement, these proposed transmission structures show potential applications for outdoor transmission under various natural weather conditions.

Keynote Speaker 2: Prof. Wen-Tsai Sung, National Chin-Yi University of Technology, Taiwan Speech Title: Innovative IoT System view based on Wireless Sensors Networks technology Abstract: IoT (Internet of Things) System is a rapidly developing area, a combination of Network, mathematics and computing technology, in order to enhance the complex sensors network and data aggregation. Traditional Wireless Sensors Networks method does not have the ability to process hung amounts sensors signals that is why the Wireless Sensors Networks design often only one cluster or one layer framework. This speech issue brings together some of the optimal fusion of innovative information technology and methods and it provides to the listeners on this issue have further improved System Integration and Applications in Wireless Sensors Networks. This will allow scientists to develop smarter process strategies for multi-sensors signals and data.

Keynote Speaker 3: Dr. Weidong Huang, University of Tasmania, Australia Speech Title: Understanding How Network Performance Affects User Experience Abstract: Much research has been done to support remote collaboration on physical tasks. However, the focus of the research has been mainly on system and interface design and their impact on collaboration. Relatively less attention has been paid to investigating how network performance can affect user experience and task performance. In this talk, I will present a research work on this issue in which participants were asked to work collaboratively in pair using a remote mobile tele-assistance system we developed. In this study, five network scenarios were examined and network performance (QoS) was measured using four metrics including delay, jitter, bandwidth and packet loss. User experience (QoE) was measured using both objective and subjective metrics. The formal included time taken and number of instructions repeated for task performance while the latter included user ratings of quality of audio experience, quality of video experience and overall quality of experience. The results indicated that the packet loss rate in QoS is the biggest contributor to loss in QoE. I will also discuss implications of the research and possible directions of future work.

Keynote Speaker 4: Dr. Wen Cheng Lai, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taiwan Speech Title: IoT Design for Cloud and Big Data Application Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) has accumulated a lot of attentions in past a couple years. IoT, wearable devices, cloud computing, big data, and data mining are current buzzwords in the new wave of technologies. According 5G communication trend, low power, massive connection and low latency can support smart home, smart city, wearable device, wireless surveillance, smart grids, wire-area wireless sensor network, remote diagnostic, autonomous car intelligent transportation and Industrial 4.0 which makes the IoT, Cloud, and Big Data are enabling this trend the next big wave of gold rush. It is believed that wireless communication are essential to the success of enabling real values of IoT-based applications, thus imposing many research challenges on the integration from IoT chip to cloud. This talk primarily examines the problems of current IoT applications and supported cloud trend by big data. Integrated chip design to enable local intelligence and responsive data analysis for many big data applications while maintaining very low energy consumption. With the scale of Internet to connect everything, it's obvious and evidentially true that Big Data and IoT will be closely knit together. Any solution that intended to address IoT will need to cope with the amount of data generated from millions of un-attended devices connected remotely.
