Eliminating errors in complex systems to enable the Internet of Things
Presentation Synopsis:
As the Internet of Things continues to grow the underlying systems and software become increasingly complex. Due to this increasing complexity, errors become incredibly hard to find while their consequences are only getting more dire.
Jordan will talk about an innovative tool-set that aims to identify errors at the earliest stages of development - when they are the easiest and least resource-intensive to fix.
Companies developing complex systems can spend as much as 40% of their budget on testing and rework due to errors found late in development. This issue is growing and is one of the major impediments to innovation. Without new tools to address this verification problem innovation in areas like the Internet of Things will be slow and plagued with issues.
Speaker’s Bio:
Jordan Kyriakidis is co-founder and CEO of QRA Corp. He has over a decade of successful leadership experience, guiding and inspiring teams of driven, high-performance individuals to collective success. An accomplished scientist with numerous publications, Jordan created the initial algorithms powering the QVTrace engine and has successively taken fundamental research out of the university laboratory and developed it into compelling and necessary engineering tools. Jordan is most proud of the culture and team at QRA. He has recruited some of the top technical and business talent in order to collectively execute the strategic vision of QRA.
Jordan holds a PhD, summa cum laude, in Theoretical Physics from the University of Basel, Switzerland. Jordan is also a board member of the Young Naturalists Club of Nova Scotia.
