The document discusses the vision of ambient assisted cities that are aware of and cater to the needs of all citizens, especially the elderly and disabled. It proposes using technologies like mobile apps, sensors in public infrastructure, and linking open urban data to provide accessible information and services. This would allow people to independently navigate the city, find accessible transportation and points of interest, and encourage healthy lifestyles. Examples of pilot projects and research initiatives are provided that aim to enhance accessibility and inclusion through adaptive interfaces and leveraging linked urban data. The goal is to empower citizens and create sustainable smart cities for all.

The quest for realizing Smart Environments has taken place for the last 30 years. Diverse adaptations of the original UbiComp vision have been developed, each highlighting diverse aspects who have been considered critical to enable a wider and more acceptable adoption of Smart Environments. Notable examples of such interesting adaptations are Context-aware Computing, Sentient Computing, Ambient Intelligence, Ambient Assisted Living and Internet of Everything. Under those different umbrella terms, researchers have explored the 3 stage enabling equation for Smart Environments, i.e. “SENSE + PROCESS = ACT”, i.e. spaces where the environment is aware of the needs, profiles and preferences from the sensed users and accommodates its behaviour to ease their daily interactions. Contributions around these different perspectives and applied to distinct environments, i.e. Smart Offices, Smart Homes, Smart Factories or Smart Cities, have been produced, all addressing the challenges posed by ever more complex systems of systems populated by multiple users. This talk will exemplify research results on how to accomplish these three core steps. Firstly, in the SENSE part, the importance of location sensing and the spread of low cost highly dense sensing environments (RFID, NFC or low range Bluetooth) will be described. Secondly, the PROCESS stage where ever more sophisticated analytics mechanisms to take into account historic and real-time data are considered, combining domain-driven (rules) and data-driven solutions, will be analysed. Thirdly, the ACT stage will be explored, considering the evolution from reactive to learning persuasive environments which aim to collaborate with their users. Thus, a middle ground fostering collaboration between smart things and people will be defended giving place to Smarter environments. The implications of the Smarter environments approach will be illustrated with use cases in the Open Government and Efficient Energy Management domains.

In the era of digital transformation, the concept of Digital Twins has emerged as a revolutionary approach to managing and optimizing the lifecycle of physical assets, systems, and processes. This talk delves into the transformative potential of Digital Maintenance in the Digital Twin Era, highlighting the seamless integration of digital replicas with real-world operations to foster unprecedented levels of efficiency, predictability, and sustainability in maintenance practices. We will explore how Digital Twins serve as dynamic, real-time reflections of physical assets, allowing for meticulous monitoring, analysis, and simulation. Through vivid examples, we'll demonstrate the benefits of this paradigm, such as predictive maintenance, which leverages data analytics and machine learning to anticipate failures and optimize maintenance schedules, thereby reducing downtime and extending asset lifespan. Further, the talk will showcase the role of Digital Twins in facilitating remote maintenance operations. By providing a comprehensive, virtual view of assets, maintenance professionals can perform diagnostics and identify issues without being physically present, enhancing safety and reducing response times. We'll also explore the environmental benefits of Digital Maintenance within the Digital Twin framework. By optimizing maintenance schedules and operations, organizations can significantly reduce their carbon footprint and resource consumption, contributing to more sustainable industrial practices. Finally, the presentation will highlight case studies from various industries, including manufacturing, energy, and transportation, where the adoption of Digital Twins has led to substantial cost savings, improved operational efficiency, and enhanced decision-making processes. These examples will illustrate the tangible value and competitive advantage that Digital Maintenance in the Digital Twin Era offers to forward-thinking organizations.
Large Techno Social Systems (LTSS) involve leveraging technological advancements and digital platforms to improve access to essential services, enhance quality of life, and ensure social inclusivity. In LTSS, people cannot be mere users of networked technologies and services designed for optimization purposes. Their behaviour should become one of the key levers for designing technologies turning them into real “Smart citizens” that teach their surrounding environment (and embedded devices) but learn reciprocally from it. LTSS can be realized by promoting smart communities which leverage technology, data, and innovation to improve the quality of life for its residents, enhance sustainability, and optimize the use of resources. Human-centric technology can empower citizens to actively engage in societal decision-making processes, participate in deliberative systems, and contribute to societal welfare. On the other hand, technological advancements, including data analytics and artificial intelligence, can inform evidence-based policymaking and planning processes. Indeed, digital technologies have the potential to influence human behaviour change by providing information, personalized feedback, social support, targeted interventions, and opportunities for learning. This work explores two approaches to realize LTSS driven smart communities that leverage digital technologies to achieve a higher collaboration and reciprocal learning between machines and people. On one hand, co-production in smart communities promotes behaviour change by empowering citizens in the co-design and co-delivery process, designing user-centric solutions, leveraging local knowledge, fostering collaboration, and facilitating capacity building. On the other hand, Citizen Science can inspire and enable behaviour change that leads to more sustainable, responsible, and community-oriented actions by promoting awareness, empowering individuals, and facilitating collaboration.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

5. What is an Ambient
Assisted City?
• A city aware of the special needs of all its citizens,
particularly those with disabilities or about to lose
their autonomy:
– Elderly people
• The "Young Old" 65-74
• The "Old" 74-84
• The "Oldest-Old" 85+
– People with disabilities
• Physical
• Sensory (visual, hearing)
• Intellectual
5
6. Accessible & Inclusive Cities
• According to the World Health Organization, people with
disabilities make up about 15% (about 1 billion people) of
the world’s population
• Many cities have been investing on becoming more
accessible, i.e. enabling the mobility and access to services to
any person
– Many public spaces have been transformed and instrumented:
• Pedestrian ways’ barriers have been eliminated
• Traffic lights use sound
• Sensors have been spread throughout the cities
• How do we truly progress towards fully inclusive cities?
– We need to adapt not only the infrastructure but the services offered

7. AccessMyNYC
• AccessMyNYC is an app designed to help
define requirements for more inclusive
Smarter Cities
– Brings together geo-location and mapping
technologies, transportation data, and publicly
available accessibility information to help N.Y.C.
residents and visitors
• Find information about accessible public and
private transportation and plan a public transit or
walking route
• Identify accessibility information about points of
interest citywide, including restaurants, hotels
and most commonly visited attractions
• Customize search criteria to filter accessibility
information by personal needs and preferences
• Rate and tweet about the accessibility of city
systems and points of interest.

8. Run with Us
• Smart cities should promote healthier lifestyles by using their
urban wireless infrastructures to implement mechanisms that
encourage residents to play sports and exercise
– RunWithUs is a pilot deployed in Oulu to motivate city residents to
exercise
• Defines as social network of residents that can challenge each other

9. Spanish inititatives: Mobility
• Some Spanish initiatives have tackled how to
overcome architectural barriers:
– VIABLE project aims to offer real-time information
about the status of the public ways in a place
– LibreDeBarreras promotes citizen participation
through mobile app:
• http://libredebarreras.es/informacion

10. Global Smart City Initiatives
• IBM the Smarter City
• SIEMENS mobility solution
• CISCO Smart+Connected Communities
• Philips Livable City

11. Our work enhancing
Accessibility in Public Spaces
• BlindShopping: Enabling Accessible Shopping
for Visually Impaired People through Mobile
Technologies
– How to translate this to the Smart Cities domain?
• Imhotep: User-conscious adaptable mobile
interfaces
– How to apply it to Urban Apps?
11
12. BlindShopping – Motivation
• Blind people
– 70000 in Spain (ONCE,2009)
– Difficulties in their daily life tasks
• Smartphones
– Increasing computing, communication and sensing
capabilities
– Sensorial complement for visually impaired
12
13. BlindShopping Platform
• Goal: A platform that enables blind people to
shop autonomously in a supermarket
• What does it contribute with?
– A navigation system
– A product browsing mechanism
• Directly applicable to the Smart City domain:
• Enabling blind people to navigate and browse through the
real-world’s objects and services
13
14. Navigation System
• Guides the blind user inside the supermarket
– Verbal interaction
• Location defined by:
– RFID tags distributed throughout the corridors
– RFID reader attached to the white cane
14
15. Product Recognition System
• Tells the user information about products
• Based on QR Codes
– recognized by camera
– one per product on the shelf
• Verbal description

18. BlindShopping + iPavement =
Accessible Tourism
• What about if the pavement (tactile paving) of some
core parts in a city could be enriched with RFID tags?
• What about if the tips of white canes were
instrumented with an RFID reader?
– Accessible tourism would be enabled
• It would ease navigation to POIs (Points of Interest)
• Such POIs (statues, buildings, and so on) could be annotated with
embossed QR codes or RFID tags readable through NFC.

19. Imhotep: User-conscious
adaptable mobile interfaces
• Fewer technology users among elderly and people with
disabilities
Kaye, H.S., Computer and Internet Use among People with Disabilities, in Disability Statistics Report 2000, Department of
Education, National Institute of: Washington D.C.
19
20. Need for adaptive interfaces
• This user base is going to grow even more
with the increasing of average age in Europe.
Population structure by major age group for EU-25 countries (1960 to 2050 estimates. European Commission (2007)
20
21. Need for adaptive interfaces
• Developers traditionally tend to ignore or
neglect this user base
– The individual user groups (each disability have
different requirements) may not be big enough to
justify the additional development costs
– Developing accessible applications can be difficult
and error-prone
21
22. Imhotep
• Aim Provide tools that ease the
development of adaptive, user-centric
accessible applications
• Design objectives:
– Make the framework platform independent
– Reduce the adoption costs
– Help AAL programmers without expertise in
accessible applications
– Practical down-to-earth approach
22
23. Framework architecture
• Composed by three main elements:
– The pre-processor directives
– The adaptation server
• Aware of user and device capabilities
– The fuzzy knowledge-eliciting reasoner
(integrated in the adaptation server)
23
24. Preprocessor Directives
• Conditional directives can be used to avoid the
compilation of fragments of code if certain
conditions are matched. These conditions can
include calls to functions provided by the framework.
24
25. Fuzzy Knowledge-Eliciting
Reasoner
• Objectives
– To infer new user and device capabilities from
those specified in the profiles.
– To enable the AAL developers to abstract from the
crisp values (the user has less than 3 dioptres) in
favour of more natural concepts (the user can see
without a significant problem).
25
26. Assisted City
• Imhotep-powered app to search nearby interesting locations (bars,
restaurants, hotels, etc.), adapted to the user requirements and capabilities.
a. Adapted to blind users. Uses the Android TextToSpeech API to communicate
and a graphic interface with different colors and font sizes to easy the reading.
b. Adapted to regular users. Users are driven to the selected point by using the
augmented reality. As you can see in the image bellow, the distance to the point
and a marker indicating its position is shown using the device camera.
26
27. Linked Cities and Citizens
• “City appeal” will be key to attract and retain
citizens, companies and tourists
• User-driven and centric innovation:
• The citizen should be heard, EMPOWERED!
– Urban apps to enhance the experience and interactions of the
citizen, by taking advantage of the city infrastructure
• The information generated by cities and citizens must be
linked and processed
– How do we correlate, link and exploit such humongous data for all
stakeholders’ benefit?
» We should start talking about Big (Linked) Data
27
28. Towards Smart Assistive
Linked Cities
• Generation of user-centric solutions that exploit
urban data in different domains and thus improve the
use of existing urban infrastructure and resources
– A sustainable and open ecosystem vs. “smart city
in a box” solutions proposed by corporations such
as IBM or Philips
28
29. The LinkedCity project
• “To create a multi-device dataset and
application marketplace based on
standard web technologies, that exploits
the data shared by councils and their
citizens, and provides to citizens, tourists
and workers an enhanced experience in
a municipality”
29
30. LinkedCity Objectives
1. Transform and release municipalities’ open data into Open Linked
Data
2. Generate structured council data from non-structured data coming
from social networks and users
3. Integrate, normalize, link and publish data for its massive analysis and
exploitation by councils, enterprises and citizens
4. Generate a scalable Cloud-based and NoSQL-based infrastructure
that supports the urban apps marketplace
5. Create a set of urban apps over the normalized data of a council, its
citizens and companies
6. Disseminate and transfer the service and data marketplace platform
to companies and administrations

32. I have a dream … the user-
enpowered inclusive City
• iPavement is an enabling technology for Inclusive Cities
– iPavement may collect data, e.g. people transiting through a given
area
– Open data from a given council should be linked to real-time data
gathered by iPavement and other city sensors or prosumers
– Relevant location-aware apps can be recommended to surrounding
citizens and visitors according to their profile and capabilities
• User-conscious apps should adapt to the capabilities of different users,
their devices and current context
