Introduce highlights of Matlab Expo 2015.
Matlab Expo is a user conference for engineers and scientist from all the industries and disciplines which uses Matlab and Simulink products. They can share what other engineer, scientist or industry from other discipline doing, they learn from each other, share their practices.
We present some of our new capabilities, so engineer and scientist who are already using Matlab and Simulink today, they can use it more efficiently. We are giving number of presentations along with our customer presentations.
Matlab expo covers array of different topics. The presentation organized in 4 different tasks as a) Data Analytics, b) System Modeling & Simulation, c) Technology development in smart systems and d) implementation and verification.
All these tasks presented here from MathWorks and customers. The intense here is to get engineers and scientist to network with each other, learn from each other, see best practices so that they can use Matlab and Simulink to be more effective in their jobs.

Discuss your Keynote Presentation.
The title of Keynote Presentation was ‘The Transformative Fusion of Sensing, Computing, Communication, and Control.’
We are ushering in a new era of industrial transformation. Automotive and consumer technologies are merging; telecomm, media, and internet and search providers are blending; aerospace applications are spanning product delivery and internet service. The catalyst? Low-cost sensing, computing, communications, and control technologies that are exceptionally powerful (yet readily accessible) are being adopted and integrated to create new products and lines of business that are fundamentally changing many industries. MATLAB® and Simulink® have enabled their adoption across industries, and apply them to your own work to realize the new opportunities generated by this industrial transformation.
Globalization and integrated technologies like cloud, mobile and analytics are spurring rapid innovation cycles, upping the level of productivity. Developments in sensor, communication, and control technology are changing the way humans and machines collaborate. MathWorks’ innovative solutions are helping companies embrace transformative changes.
In the keynote I walked through couple of examples that four components sensing, computing, communication and control and talked about how they can combine with each other to make this transformation. The combination will change the application and the nature of industry.

Which are the areas where transformative technologies you discussed have an impact?
There is hardly any sector which has no impact of this technology. If we look at today electronics in the form of sensing, computing, communication and control is everywhere. The transformation is affecting every application and industry like aerospace, automotive, medical devises, automation, finance etc.
For ex, in automation industry let’s say Robotics. Today if we look at proliferation of sensing, computing, communication and control, as we add more and more sensors to robots, robots become more capable of understanding its environment. Because it has some computing power available, it can detect all data from the sensors. Robots can then communicate with each other and they can give co-operative tasks, perform task which might be difficult by one of them by their own.
That is simple example. The four elements sensing, computing, communication and control can enhance productivity of Robots. I generalize beyond that as Autonomous Car, they are also like robot. By having car communicate with each other. You can enable automated highway system that reduces accidents, make pleasurable driving experience.

What is MathWorks support to engineers for implementation of this transformation in future applications
In the keynote, we talked about how engineers can prepare themselves for these ideas and MathWorks help them to implement these ideas very quickly by using MathWorks tools and array of different platforms. Engineers can express their ideas, they can deploy their ideas in sensing, computing, communication and control for happening these changes with their ideas.
