Bring Impossible Ideas to Life

Technology & AI are dramatically changing what’s possible in our world. Our challenge as we create new things is to dislodge from the comfort of what we already know. Chris created Shazam after being told by every “expert” that his outlandish idea was impossible. It was an idea far ahead of its time – eight years before iPhone apps even existed. In this presentation, Chris helps audiences imagine and then create new visions for the future. He inspires with jaw-dropping stories about creating Shazam. Audiences learn a new framework of thinking to create change through technology.

Founder of Shazam, Pioneer at Google & Dropbox

High-Performance GUI with Qt for MCU on Zephyr - a Road Towards Platform Independence, Safety on IoT Platforms

This talk will be about how Qt for MCU brings high-performance cross-platform graphics capability to the open-source Zephyr framework. It also presents the option of functional safe graphics, in turn increasing Zephyr's adaptability for wider use cases. Qt also announces its key contribution towards the framework in the form of open-sourced HW adaptation layers which helps Customers/Partners and contributors to expand Qt for MCU to even more Zephyr-supported platforms, and a roadmap towards introducing a graphics API standard for resource-constrained devices.

How to Easily Bring 3D to Existing Android Applications

Easily adding Qt to native Java and Kotlin Android applications opens up many new possibilities for Android developers who can now add 3D or interactive charts to their existing applications. To showcase this, we partnered with 3 universities where a student group created a car companion app with 3D elements.

Model-Based Testing: Transforming Software Validation

In the fast-paced world of software development, ensuring the reliability of complex systems is increasingly challenging. Model-Based Testing (MBT) revolutionizes software validation by automating test case generation from models that abstract complexity and reduce manual effort. We will explore practical applications of MBT, using Squish as a testing tool.

Verifying Software Architecture in Practice

We demonstrate the automatic verification of low-level C/C++ code against a high-level architecture model. The model can be specified using a UML CASE tool or through an architecture-as-code approach in Python. We emphasize both interactive use for software architects and non-interactive use in CI/DevOps environments.
