Development of 'State-of-Art' Building Energy Dashboard: The C3 Dashboardruchiek
A building energy dashboard could be a tool to influence users to be
more environmentally conscious by displaying real-time energy
consumption. Current commercially available dashboards fall short of
their potential as they do not simultaneously address occupant
comfort, case specific recommendations or controls. To address this
gap, a prototype has been developed for a new ‘state-of-art’
dashboard, the “C3” dashboard. C3 is a common platform for
communication, consultancy and control. It is designed to be a
personal dashboard for users in commercial buildings. This study
presents the opportunities and challenges of developing a user-based
energy dashboard that would empower occupants to save more energy.
In recent years, the European Commission and EU countries have set up numerous large-scale pilot projects to contribute to the digitisation of the energy industry across Europe and beyond.
The most important goals of this endeavour are reaching a common energy data space to facilitate infrastructure planning and monitoring, empowering citizens by providing them with tools for participation in energy markets, supporting research and development of digital solutions, improving cybersecurity of the energy sector, and supporting the adoption of climate-neutral solutions for the ICT sector.
In this panel key projects and services will be presented that move towards a sustainable and digital energy world by exploiting data sharing. The renowned experts and market drivers will show up their approaches and innovative solutions by presenting:
Insights to a R&D project about secure smart grids in Germany that is focusing on FIWARE based smart energy solutions while facing Redispatch 2.0 and business modelling challenges.
References on how a local utility works together with research institutes and energy ICT companies to realise a building block called “Energiewende” - the transformation of the energy systems towards renewables.
The efficient use of data in building energy systems to achieve scalable solutions.
Main highlights and strategies of European projects: French Data Network and Enershare.
Showcases on how FIWARE building blocks enable the data sharing of energy communities: first insight to the background of energy communities and a proof-of-concept for using the FIWARE context broker as the coordinator of an energy community.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
