The way we live our lives will change dramatically over the next 20 years thanks to advances in ICT. Embedded chips will enhance the intelligence of systems, cloud computing promises increased effi ciency, and further integration will blur the boundaries between technologies. Across markets and regions ICT will make lives better. This theme of SMART LIVING will permeate the entire event. As well as exploring it in our forums and discussions, we will showcase how smart ICT applications are changing lives in our thematic pavilions through technologies for SMART HOMES, SMART WORK, SMART SOCIETY and SMART LEISURE.
