The Dutch Round Tables for Smart Mobility are communities for industry, governments and knowledge institutes to develop and deploy smart mobility faster and on a bigger scale, in the Netherlands.
There are five Dutch Round Tables for Smart Mobility (themes): Architecture & Interoperability, Legal Aspects, Human Behaviour, Effects. The agenda is set per table with input by current issues in ongoing projects on one hand, but on the other hand also project transcending and international developments, that have influence as well.
The IoT space is packed with different technologies and vendors all vying for a piece of your investment budget. Clearly some technologies and vendors will succeed and some will fail, so how best to approach this kind of market and future proof investment decisions, whilst gaining maximum competitive advantage. I will share the approach we are using at Coca-Cola and the learnings we have gathered so far.

Workshop 4: Planning new developments - think people, think bicycle
2 December Usman Haque gave the closing keynote at ThingsCon Amsterdam 2016.
Decision-making and design are central to the production of technologies in networked urban environments, but it’s important to understand how definitions of efficiency, optimisation, etc, that often underpin such processes, especially in so-called ‘smart cities’ help determine how and why things are implemented and with whom and where power concentrates. The questions of who designs and who decides (data, technologies, actions), as well as how we collectively make designs and decisions about the future are crucial. This talk will discuss these issues in the context of some of Usman’s work in the internet of things.
At ThingsCon Amsterdam 1 December 2016 Nazli Cila and Iskander Smit hosted a workshop on the concept of products as agents, based on the research activities of Nazli Cila. This presentation is the introduction for the design ideation session.

Metrino short presentation 2014 10-v20 (akl projec t1+2)Ollie-M
Metrino-PRT (formerly MISTER PRT) is a new, innovative public transportation system for cities. Small (car size), fully automatic, driverless vehicles (pods) travel independently suspended under an overhead network of light guide- ways, 5 to 10m above street level.
Meeting Passenger Demand
All rides are on passenger demand. There are no timetables and no pre-defined routes. Pods are usually waiting for passengers at small stops along the network as well as shopping centers, offices, hotels, hospitals, schools, etc.
Pods are only for individual trips. They carry up to five people, usually acquainted, therefore providing absolute personal safety. All pods, stops and the route network are constantly monitored by security cameras.
Since there are more pods than average daily demand for them, passengers rarely have to wait except occasionally during peak periods. Only those pods carrying passengers (and some empty ones being relocated by the computer system) are in motion. If there is low demand, pods are always waiting at the stops.
Rides take place from any stop directly to your selected destination, without a break during the journey. They travel at an average speed of 50 km/h compared to 30 km/h for metro and 10-20 km/h for buses or trams.
Stops are off-line (like petrol stations along motorways). They do not obstruct the flow of traffic on the guideways.
Passengers enjoy a smooth ride in air conditioned comfort with multimedia services and elevated views.

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.
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

METRINO – The Deal
Editor's Notes
The growing problem with no solution. Similar to the “horse shit crisis” 100 years ago – solved by the arrival of cars.
PRT is the only viable city transportation solution. GOOGLE driverless cars will not solve congestion.
PRT is a radical improvement over current city transport systems. In terms of impact, it’s equivalent to the microchip replacing discrete electronics.
The urban transport market is huge ant not susceptible to economic cycles, weather or fashion. ...Tony Seba lectured on this subject in Auckland last month.
We have PROVEN that cities will let us build the Metrino system. These LOIs were issued BEFORE we even had a prototype.
Genuine demand the is most important element of RISK mitigation.
Yes, it is possible to BEAT the competition on EVERY parameter. If I prove it ... will you invest?
There is no contest with existing dinosaur systems.
METRINO is far better on every measured parameter, most importantly – financial.
These are key members of the New Zealand Team, who will deliver this business and make it reality.
And these are people who will help on the global scene. We have the professional resources needed for world-wide success.
This is so big that I will only discuss it with genuinely interested parties, because it seems to be “too good to be true”.
So give me a chance to prove it.
In addition to the technology already in place, software is the most vital component. This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity. Only some will see “the writing on the wall”.
This initial fund will be used to broaden our business base, raise the next level of capital and visit cities to renew their LOIs.
I hope that you will understand – and grasp this opportunity.
Invest now and get involved in software development/infrastructure. For a cornerstone investor is a DOUBLE WIN. Thank you
