Since the advent of national railroads the need for accurate, coordinated time has increased to the point that microsecond-level coordination of distributed systems is necessary for a broad range of applications ranging from autonomous vehicles and industrial machinery to acoustic drone localization, 5G, and high-performance computing. In this talk we describe network-time synchronization approaches and applications, and point at areas for additional research in the areas of secure network time, provable time traceability, semantics for temporal software and time virtualization.
Biography:
Kevin Stanton is a Sr. Principal Engineer at Intel, where he is responsible for time-related technologies and standards, and their application in areas ranging from synchronized home wireless A/V to the Industrial Internet-of-Things (IoT) and autonomous vehicles. He made major contributions to the IEEE 802.1 AVB (now TSN) standards as well as IEEE 1588/PTP (Precision Time Protocol) and believes that accurate time will one day be a basic capability offered to every connected device in the galaxy. Kevin is the chairman of the board of Avnu Alliance and is the chair of the conference on Time Sensitive Networks and Applications. Kevin holds a Ph.D. in the area of synchronization and control from Portland State University.
