1 Opening of the Nokia Research Center Lausanne, June Communications Research in Switzerland: A Brief History and a Look Forward Martin Vetterli and Jacques Bovay EPFL School of Computer and Communication Sciences School of Engineering

2 Outline 1. A bit of history Where it all began, Marconi and the others Geneva as a center for telecommunication policy Industrial research laboratories The federal institutes of technology 2. State of affairs Communications and Computer Sciences at EPFL Some research examples The NCCR MICS and interdisciplinary research 3. Pervasive Communications What is pervasive communication? Socio_Geo_Graphs (SGG s) Image annotation 4. Open Innovation and Start-ups Innovation models and industrial collaborations The start-up scene around EPFL and in Switzerland 5. Conclusions Nokia Research Center - 2

3 Telephony in Switzerland: The early history Telephony in Switzerland is not only about throwing cables over valleys with rockets or installing lines in remote, snowy areas or trimming trees to let lines through! Nokia Research Center - 3

4 Switzerland and international telecommunications Geneva as headquarters of the main world organizations and events ITU, the leading United Nations agency for information and communication technologies (radiocommunication, standardization and development) ITU Telecom World Exhibition and Forum (1999, 2003, 2009) ISO, International Organization for Standardization Nokia Research Center - 4

6 Communication systems research: a long tradition in Switzerland IBM Research Lab 1982: Gottfried Ungerboeck invents the trellis-coded modulation (International Marconi Award, the Nobel Prize of communication, in 1996) : The Token Ring technology is developed BBC and now ABB research Gustav Guanella, Swiss pioneer of noise-modulated radar and speech privacy systems (over 100 patents!), UWB in 1930 s and 1940 s First data transmission at carrier frequency (1963) A famous swiss coding theorist Marcel J.E. Golay ( ), Dr h.c. EPFL 1977, Complementary code sequences, perfect codes A famous researcher and educator Jim Massey, coding theorist and cryptographer Marconi award Prof. em. ETHZ and friend of EPFL! The Token Ring architecture Nokia Research Center - 6

7 Nearly 2 decades of communication systems development at EPFL 1990: A new curriculum in communication systems (SSC) is defined 1991: The Eurécom Institute opens in Sophia Antipolis and the IDIAP Research Institute is inaugurated in Martigny 1993: The first diplomas in communication systems are awarded 1996: The Graduate School in Communication Systems opens at EPFL 1997: - the 1 st cycle in communication systems is created students integrate SSC - the program becomes the most popular at EPFL 2000: Department of Communication Systems (DSC) is created 2001: National Center of Competence in Research on Mobile Information and Communication Systems (NCCR MICS) starts, with DSC as Leading House 2002: Communication systems and computer science merge into the I&C School (~30 professors) 2008: - the I&C School includes 50+ professors and MER s - the Doctoral Program in Computer, Communication and Information Sciences includes 320+ students Nokia Research Center - 7

8 EPFL - Some hot topics in communication and information systems UWB Ranging through obstacles and with interferers (Le Boudec) Percolation model for wireless networks with interferences (Thiran) Raptor codes (Shokrollahi) Crossing the Shannon barrier with multiple antennas (Telatar) Secure vehicular networks (Hubaux) Nokia Research Center - 8

9 EPFL - Some hot topics in communication and information systems Multiview imaging and camera networks Geodesic walk in a multimedia dataset Image and video coding - 3DTV - new representations and compression - Color Image processing and analysis - Face recognition - Vision Image communications - P2P streaming Spatial audio - MPEG-surround - AEC Teams of Ebrahimi, Faller, Frossard, Fua, Thiran, Susstrunk, Vandergheynst et al Nokia Research Center - 9

10 NCCR Mobile Information and Communications: The network Uni Basel Uni Neuchâtel CSEM, Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology Uni Bern University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland ETHZ EPFL (Leading House) Uni Lausanne Uni Lugano Nokia Research Center - 10

11 NCCR MICS interdisciplinary applications example SensorScope ( Goal: use of wireless sensor networks for environmental monitoring in the alps Completely reproducible, open access, open source Many real deployments Urban meteorology (110 stations on EPFL campus) Alpine deployment: Glacier, Rock glacier Inexpensive, autonomous, ad hoc networking Team: G. Barrenetxea, F.Ingelrest, M.Krichane, G.Schaefer, M.Parlange + EFLUM Nokia Research Center - 11

12 3. Pervasive Communications Mobile phones everywhere: 1 mio/day just from Nokia! Services growing: Location based, ads, markets Demands increasing: convergence computing/communication Possible conditions for a pervasive communication project Service oriented Mobile phone a necessity Take advantage of Europe and Switzerland Take advantage of campus High visibility (at Nokia, in the media) Good for the world (and EPFL and Nokia as well) At the intersection of mobiles, location based services and social networks Let s see some SocioLocation: SGG s Interfaces: Image annotation Nokia Research Center - 12

13 Peer-to-Peer: An Old Idea Milgrams 1967 Experiment 160 letters passed from person to person (known on a first-name basis), from randomly-chosen initial recipients in Nebraska to a Boston addressee Result: the transmission required 6 steps on average Applies to other networks, spread of information (rumors), diseases, etc. Small world modeled in particular by Watts and Strogatz Boston Nebraska Nokia Research Center - 13

14 Socio-Geo-Graphs (SGG) Friends in a geographical areas Location and social graph, temporary Nokia Research Center - 14

15 Socio-Geo-Graphs (SGG) Family members Social graph, always on, available Nokia Research Center - 15

16 Socio-Geo-Graphs (SGG) People willing to sell me a ticket for tonight s concert Geolocation + reputation graph + market Nokia Research Center - 16

17 Socio-Geo-Graphs (SGG) SGG s GPS enabled mobile phones Social network structure Services with users and providers Structure central to computation, security Obvious questions: Ad hoc network, routing Data mining Machine learning Reputation system Market design Security, Legal issues Applications: Self-organized, real-time, GPS based car-pooling Geo-localized market, adverts OpenStreetMap Nokia Research Center - 17

20 4. Open Innovation Open innovation is the use of purposive inflows and outflows of knowledge to accelerate internal innovation, and expand the markets for external use of innovation, respectively. H. Chesbrough, Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley EPFL's willingness to try various ways for industrial collaboration Vice-Presidency for Innovation and Technology Transfer Prof. J.A.Manson & team Active IP policy Licensing Incubator Innogrants Logitech Lab at EPFL The Garage Nokia Research Center - 20
