DL Fawzi Behmann, IEEE Vice Chair NA ComSoc, & President TelNet Management DL Program, Zagreb, Croatia May 2017 Overview • The initial needs of the DL was captured in April 2017. IEEE ComSoc DLT R8 has approved DL and ComSoc issued letter of confirmation in May. • Despite short lead time promoting the events, the Local chapter in collaboration with local sponsors there was a healthy attendance in all the venues. • In Attendance TVZ Technicko Veleuciliste U Zagrebu 39 Ericsson Nikola Tesla 60 University of Zagreb, Faculty of EEC 27
• The three different presentations were positively received at the three locations and there were opportunities where audience paused great questions and where answers were provided by the DL.
• Other functions Lunch with Department Chair Visiting IoT, AR, Health, programming and other labs Presentations sessions of the department Research Studies Dinner with IEEE Section Chair and Mario DLT Program, Zagreb, Croatia May 2017 – Croatia IEEE Section promotion of the three DLs

Feedback from Attendees: Gained rich knowledge and were inspired and motivated with the talk, examples and understand future direction Ericsson: expressed followup on Iot for Health with Dallas Division on mobile health. Potential engagement for the upcoming IEEE ComTech on Health & Wellness, Sept., Austin
Feedback for Section Chair: From: Maja Matijašević
Dear Fawzi,
Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure to host you and thanks also for your interesting talk at our department on Tuesday. One must really give credit to IEEE and ComSoc for the DLT concept, and the opportunity to bring such great lectures and speakers close(r) to members world-wide.
I also enjoyed the dinner evening we had very much.
I hope we'll have a chance to do it again sometime - in Croatia, US, or anywhere our paths cross again.
Best Regards, Maja

Fawzi Behmann President TelNet Management Consulting Inc. Vice-Chair, IEEE NA Communications Society [email protected]
(1) May 22, 2017, 6:30pm Developing IoT Solutions for Smart Homes/Buildings, Smart Car and Smart Energy This session will focus on smart homes/building along with smart energy and smart car exploring current and emerging solutions. This interactive session will cover architectural solution building blocks, including sensing, aggregation, and data analytics. Examples of some of the enabling technologies such as video surveillance, and drone will be explored.
The session will also address the followings: 1: Introduction to IoT Model. 2: What are the building blocks for IoT solutions for Homes/Smart Building? 3: What are the key challenges of Smart connected cars? 4: Can you describe deployment solutions scenarios for smart energy? 5: Define some key consideration to monetize services?

(3) May 23, 2017, 5:00 pm “Is there a common vision for IoT, 5G and Virtualization by 2020?” Several technologies are converging empowering IoT and delivering a greater impact and advance services to multiple markets by 2020’s.
This Keynote will introduce the concept of IoT and architectural evolution from a pre-IoT to Collaborative IoT impacting many markets such as home, health, automotive, enterprise, transportation and infrastructure. This will be enriched by several examples.
Solution building blocks include sensing/wearables, aggregation/gateway, cloud/data analytics/ services.
Will conclude with some of the factors to deliver scalable solutions, better quality of services and experience.
Takeaway points: • Understanding of the rapid evolution of IoT and other realted technologies. • Emerging of ecosystem cloud based address the root cause and not the symptoms. • 2020’s impact and considerations for scalable and secure networks. (3) May 23, 2017, 5:00 pm (3) May 23, 2017, 5:00 pm
