The IEEE SA Foundational Technologies Global Practice has been established to help standardize system interoperability and compatibility across all applications of information and communication technologies in a trustworthy and enabling manner. Through the development of a global community of interested volunteer stakeholders, the Foundational Technologies practice can help to address core issues of Trust, Identity, Privacy, Protection, Security and Safety (TIPPSS) through both foundational-level horizontal standards and domain-specific standards.
These three trends are gaining momentum in the computing and foundational technology space as we move in 2025 and beyond.
Practice Lead Srikanth Chandrasekaran provides a brief overview of the Foundational Technologies Global Practice and the initiatives for 2021.
Driving Smart Manufacturing through the development of IoT frameworks and technologies for connected, integrated systems while addressing critical issues regarding data security, privacy, identity and trust.
Identifying new technologies for Smart Home – from devices, phones, wearables and embedded sensors while connecting the unconnected and enabling new markets while focusing on data ownership/agency, security, safety and privacy as adoption increases in the consumer space.
Emerging technologies such as Quantum Computing, AR/VR, Blockchain and next generation connectivity protocols will drive future applications and enable new markets and as these technologies evolve, considerations on energy efficiency and sustainability also become very important.
