Professional management of street lighting control systems is the first step towards Smarter Cities and reducing energy consumption. A standardized management interface for street lighting networks, luminaire controllers and other smart city applications enables interoperability and futureproofs the systems.
Today cities face many challenges on the way to become smart cities, including to make sure that they decide for state-of-the-art technology when developing a large variety of public services ranging from outdoor lighting over parking and waste management to E-Mobility and many other applications. Most of these services are long-term investments and will be in use for decades. Besides trying to foster competition and negotiate the best pricing, public purchasers prefer to invest in open systems to guarantee continued access to future-proof solutions and to avoid vendor lock-in. Leading cities are increasingly looking to select interoperable solutions across their systems.
Founded in 2012, the TALQ Consortium is establishing a globally accepted standard for management software interfaces to control and monitor heterogeneous outdoor lighting networks. The new TALQ interface is a specification for information exchange, suitable for implementation in various products and systems. This way interoperability between Central Management Systems (CMS) and Outdoor Lighting Networks (OLN) from different vendors will be enabled, such that a single CMS can control different OLNs in different parts of a city or region. In 2016 TALQ decided to open up its scope to standardizing interfaces for wider smart city applications.
Major Outcomes:
- Potential of intelligent outdoor lighting and smart city solutions for the environment and society
- How to increase flexibility while decreasing operational costs
- Why smart cities have more transparency
- The benefits of an industry standard for industry and municipalities/customers

EUW 2014: Smart Gas meter deployment and Customer Value in the NetherlandsGerrit Rentier
Smart Gas Meters can enable consumers to save energy and money. If we pay attention to customer interaction this customer value can be greatly enhanced. Presentation held at European Utility Week 2014 in Amsterdam
Ubitricity founder Knut Hechtfischer will describe a unique and innovative solution developed for residential on-street electric vehicle charging. This solution transforms the common street light into an instantly available electric vehicle charging point for those with on-street parking. At a time when electric vehicle adoption is increasing across the country, it is widely recognised that not everyone has access to a garage or even a driveway. This issue is particularly prevalent in major cities such as London, Glasgow, Edinburgh, etc. Street lighting however is available throughout most urban residential areas, offering a potential solution. In addition, columns fitted with charging points could also offer potential future revenue streams to cash strapped councils and can also tie in with future smart city initiatives.

The fact that a Meter Data Management (MDM) system is the single, secure repository for the millions of data points collected by an AMI makes it the logical solution for data analytics such as validation, editing and estimation that improve the accuracy of billing information. Yet, as a single-source system of record, the MDM also is the starting point for integration of meter-read data with other enterprise systems to improve real-time efficiency of network operations and business processes.
The MDM with meter modelling components and standardized connectivity can integrate with the utility geodatabase (GIS) and outage management system (OMS) to significantly streamline outage detection and restoration verification.
MDM integrated with the utility supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system or distribution management system (DMS) allows comparison of information at substation/net-stations with aggregated meter data to detect potential theft or network loss during distribution. Similar aggregate comparison helps analyse power quality, identify demand trending and forecast demand. These network analysis capabilities empower accurate asset planning and the utility’s ability to meet demand without adding more capacity.
In all of these enterprise-level functions, MDM integration with the GIS provides valuable visualization that facilitates operator and analyst identification of areas of concern or opportunity.
The real-time network intelligence possible with such a powerful MDM solution can return substantial benefits to several utility operations and business processes — well beyond the initial-level billing accuracy improvement.

How to transform a system that was built on one-way flows of power from large,
centralized power plants to a multi-directional, dynamic electricity supply system?
That’s the million dollar question for many players in the energy industry at the moment.
The share of renewables in the European energy mix is increasing dramatically, but the corresponding development of the energy infrastructure, particularly in the distribution network, is lagging sorely behind. If these trends continue, we may be heading for a (CO2-free) train wreck in the not-so-distant future.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

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).

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.
