Presentation: Does the Browser have a Future?

Time: Thursday 09:00 - 09:50 / Location: Grandball

The proportion of traffic going to mobile devices continues to increase inexorably. The time has come to ask: Will that increase ever stop? Are there application areas that are safe from being overrun by native mobile apps, or is the browser a dead end in 2014? And finally: Should we even care?

Presentation: Privacy and Security, Policy and Technology

Track: Leading & Bleading Edge - Day 2 / Time: Friday 10:20 - 11:10 / Location: Frederik
