Director, National Electric Vehicle Centre (NEVC), Land Transport Authority (LTA)Digital Twins have been gaining significant traction among various industries. This lightning talk will unravel the difference and commonality between two client types of digital twin (DT) applications: Thick Clients and Thin Clients. A thick client application refers to software application that is installed and runs on a computer or specialised terminal of good hardware and high computing performance. On the other hand, a thin client application is a lightweight application that would fit well to devices of lesser computing & hardware requirements. We will explore their characteristics, applications and synergy for different industries use cases.

Smart City Technology drives greater agility and efficiency to how businesses functions and citizen interacts. There is another underlying secret ingredient supporting the technology which transcends between the cyber and physical spaces. Through embracing the security by design principle, the consequential risk of the lego blocks of the smart city technology integrated with operational systems is mitigated through an iterative risk managed rigor. In this sharing, you will hear about the emerging cyber threats in the cyber-physical realm and how we can better address such cyber-physical pervasiveness.
Mr Bernard Tan
Director of Architecting & Solutioning, Cybersecurity Group (CSG), GovTechMost inspection to check for anomalies are usually done manually, by walking the ground and eyeballing. It is easy to miss anomalies due to fatigue especially for anomalies that occur over long term. Instead, we use robots to collect data regularly and perform anomaly detection in the cloud with unlimited processing power and with unlimited trials of improving algorithms. Humans then focus only on the actual anomaly inspection and recovery task. We look at several case studies and discuss surprising results that robots can further uncover.
Dr Ho Chin Keong
