Title:

Flexible organic devices: Towards ubiquitous electronics

Abstract:

Thin film devices deposited on plastic substrates allow a novel flexible, low-cost ubiquitous form of electronics. Organic semiconductors are ideally suited for such devices due to their suitability for large area, mechanical properties, and deposition at room temperature. So far, organic semiconductors have successfully entered the market for smartphone displays, and organic solar cells are close to a broader market introduction. In my talk, I will discuss the challenges and opportunities for this new technology.

Title:

Pathways to Servers of the Future

Abstract:

The Visionary Keynote on “Pathways to Servers of the Future” outlines a new research program set up at Technische Universität Dresden addressing the increasing energy demand of global internet usage and the resulting ecological impact of it. The program pursues a novel holistic approach that considers hardware as well as software adaptivity to significantly increase energy efficiency, while suitably addressing application demands. This keynote presents the research challenges and industry perspective.
