This is a very useful tutorial on Apple Keynote, I watched today because I'm preparing my tutorial presentation for PhD 2nd year students and Professors.

I'm very thrilled about my future presentation, so I watched this to improve my slides.

Abstract: Smart cities are considered a paradigm where wireless communications are an enhancing factor to make better urban services and improve the quality of life for citizens and visitors. The smart city scenario is composed by several parts: the wireless infrastructure, the user devices, sensing nodes, machine devices, access points, one or more cloud infrastructures. Moreover, for delivering the requested services lots of data are exchanged among the citizens and the devices, and these data need also to be elaborated in order to give the correct information to the users. Energy saving and performance improvement of Smart Mobile Devices have been widely recognized as primary issues. In fact the execution of every complex application is a big challenge due to the limited battery power and computation capacity of the mobile devices, especially in a smart environment where communication is considered a key to get better features in important areas such as mobility and transportation. In this context Mobile Cloud Computing and Heterogeneous Networks are viewed as infrastructures providing together a key solution for the major facing problems: the former allows to offload application to powerful remote servers, shortening execution time and extending battery life of mobile devices, while the latter allows the use of small cells in addition to macrocells, exploiting high-speed and stable connectivity in an ever grown mobile traffic trend.

The human brain consists of about 100 billion neurons and 100 trillion connections between those neurons. Each neuron is relatively simple (compared to the whole brain) and there is no central control. Somehow the huge ensemble of neurons and connections gives rise to the complex behaviors we call “cognition” or “intelligence” or even “creativity”.

Schermata 2014-11-16 alle 17.38.11Brain imaging has shown that these neurons have organized themselves into different functional areas. Just like ants or termites (other examples of complex systems), neurons can self-organize into complex structures that help the species function and survive.
