Short Bio:
Dr. Wu Chou is Chief IT Scientist and
Head of Huawei Shannon (IT) Lab, Huawei Technologies Co., LTD. He is an
IEEE Fellow, a renowned expert in the field of IT, Web/Internet,
communication, Cloud, and enterprise services. He has over 20+ years of
successful professional career in leading R&D organizations. Before
joining Huawei, he was Director of R&D at Avaya. He graduated from
Stanford University in 1990 with four advanced degrees in science and
engineering. He joined AT&T Bell Labs after graduated from Stanford, and
continued his career in Lucent Bell Labs and Avaya Labs before joining
Huawei. In his new role at Huawei, he leads the global Huawei Shannon
(IT) Lab for its research and innovation in the fast moving IT area. He
has extensive experience and knowledge in cutting-edge technology
research, incubating ground breaking products, visionary technical
leadership, and agile execution in product development. He served as an
editor for multiple standards at W3C, ECMA, ISO, ETSI, etc. He is an
editor of IEEE Transactions on Services Computing (TSC), IEEE TSC
Special Issue on Cloud Computing, and Journal of Web Services Research.
He published over 140 journal and conference papers, holds 24 US and
international patents with many additional patent applications pending.
He received Bell Laboratories President’s Gold Award for his achievement
in 1997 and Avaya Leadership Award in 2005. |
| Keynote Title:
Internet, Web, and Cloud for Next Generation IT |
| Abstract:
Information technology (IT) is the acquisition,
processing, storage, and dissemination of vocal, pictorial, textual, and
numerical information by a combination of computing and
telecommunications. Internet, Web, and Cloud are three main driving
forces that reshape the landscape of IT. This transformation in IT has
profound impact to how we process the information and provide
information services for service providers, enterprises, and consumers.
This in turn becomes the root source of innovations and advances for
Internet, Web, and Cloud.
In this talk, I will introduce some recent advances in
Internet, Web, and Cloud. In particular, I will describe the new
technologies introduced in HTML5, the development of RTC Web (Realtime
Communication Web) at W3C and IETF, and “Edge Cloud”, a new development
for next generation Cloud. Moreover, I will discuss the impacts of these
new developments to IT, Internet, Web, and Cloud, as they open a new
paradigm for technologists, researchers, application developers,
enterprises, service providers, consumers, and business entrepreneurs.

Keynote Title:
Green Cellular Networks: A Survey, Some Research Issues and Challenges |
| Abstract:
In this talk, we present techniques to enable green
communications in future generation of wireless systems that will rely
on cooperation and cognition to meet increasing demand of high data
rate. So far, achieving high data rate has been the primary focus of
research in cooperative and CR systems, without much consideration of
energy efficiency. However, many of these techniques significantly
increase system complexity and energy consumption. Escalating energy
costs and environmental concerns have already created an urgent need for
more energy-efficient “green” wireless communications. Therefore, we
need to design energy-efficient solutions for cooperative and cognitive
networks, which will potentially drive the future generation of wireless
communication. We focus on several important topics that are crucial
towards reducing the energy consumption of the cognitive and cooperative
networks. These topics include efficient base station redesign,
heterogeneous network deployment, green communications via cognitive
radio, cooperative relays to deliver green communications, and energy
efficient cognitive cooperative networks.
