Every 45 seconds, 100 new residents are added to urban areas globally as cities struggle to keep up with growing demands for services. Governments have not been able to innovate as quickly as needed. The World Bank proposes a co-creation approach to building smarter cities by engaging citizens, prioritizing issues, and co-creating solutions in three Colombian cities - Barranquilla, Cali, and Manizales - as a pilot. This involves creating a roadmap, identifying priorities, hacking events, an urban living lab, and a network of cities to share solutions. The goal is sustainable innovation that can apply to any city regardless of size or income level through public-private-people partnerships.

South East Europe features a great renewable energy potential. The Region has a good solar, wind and geothermal energy prospects. According to experts if the hydropower is utilized only, the countries can meet 100% of their energy needs. Well-developed agriculture and forestry industry is a prerequisite for the increasing of bioenergy implementation.
From 5-th to 7-th of March 2014 the South-East European Exhibition & Conference Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy and Smart Cities will open its doors. Philip Lowe, DG Energy EC, estimated the event as a key European energy hub and an exchange platform for new ideas.

Across the UK we are seeing more and more examples of smart city transformation. Key 'smart' sectors utilised by such Cities include transport, energy, health care, water and waste. Against the current background of economic, social, security and technological changes caused by the globalization and the integration process, cities in the UK face the challenge of combining competitiveness and sustainable urban development simultaneously.
A smart city is a place where the traditional networks and services are made more efficient with the use of digital and telecommunication technologies, for the benefit of its inhabitants and businesses.
With this vision in mind, the European Union is investing in ICT research and innovation and developing policies to improve the quality of life of citizens and make cities more sustainable in view of Europe's 20-20-20 targets.
The smart city concept goes beyond the use of ICT for better resource use and less emissions. It means smarter urban transport networks, upgraded water supply and waste disposal facilities, and more efficient ways to light and heat buildings.
And it also encompasses a more interactive and responsive city administration, safer and secure public spaces.
Smart Cities UK lead the way on addressing the best practice examples on smart transformation from across Cities within the United Kingdom whilst disseminating guidance and information transformation within waste, energy, transport and other key smart sectors.

Barcelona is recognized worldwide by its creativity and innovation. It has built a powerful brand, thanks to the 1992 Olympic games' success. No city can live only of its glorious past, always must be developing a much better future for its inhabitants based on the values that helped to get its past success.
The speaker, from a radical independent point of view, will comment on these values and explain the challenges the city is facing 28 years after the games and the need to maintain alive the Olympic spirit.

Cities across the globe are strug-gling today to reinvent th.docxclarebernice
Cities across the globe are strug-
gling today to reinvent themselves
for the postindustrial economy
anticipated by sociologist Daniel Bell
and others in the 1960s.
Many communities have been
adapting their communications
infrastructure to meet the needs of
an age in which information is the
most valuable commodity. Most of
these initiatives, such as the U.S. Na-
tional Information Infrastructure and
Singapore’s Intelligent Island, focus
on the technological aspects of the
postindustrial economy.
San Diego even commissioned a
City of the Future committee in 1993
to make plans to build the first fiber-
optic-wired city in the United States
in the belief that, just as cities of the
past were built along waterways,
railroads, and interstate highways,
the cities of the future will be built
along “information highways”—
wired and wireless information
pathways connecting every home,
office, school, and hospital and,
through the World Wide Web, mil-
lions of other individuals and insti-
tutions around the world.
These new information
infrastructures are un-
doubtedly important. But
creating a twenty-first-
century city is not so much
a question of technology as
it is of jobs, dollars, and
quality of life. A community’s plan
to reinvent itself for the new,
knowledge-based economy and
society therefore requires educating
all its citizens about this new global
revolution in the nature of work. To
succeed, cities must prepare their
citizens to take ownership of their
communities and educate the next
generation of leaders and workers to
meet the new global challenges of
what has now been termed the “Cre-
ative Economy.”
At the heart of such an effort is
recognition of the vital roles that art
and culture play in enhancing eco-
nomic development and, ultimately,
defining a “creative community”—a
community that exploits the vital
linkages among art, culture, and
commerce. Communities that con-
sciously invest in these broader
human and financial resources are at
the very forefront in preparing their
citizens to meet the challenges of the
rapidly evolving, and now global,
knowledge-based economy and
society.

Smart cities of the future? It´s already happening, but not in the way we are...Manu Fernández
Presentation by Manu Fernández at Re:Work Cities London, 13th December.
Here are my notes I prepared for the Re·Work Cities summit that was held in London. As you can see, my intervention was mostly based on my essay for Smart Citizens book, Smart cities of the future? It´s already happening, but not in the way we are being told.
Three main ideas:
Technology alone is not the enough and this basic premise, which seems so obvious, is not well embedded in the smart city narrative, I will explain it later.
There´s no need to wait for smart cities to happen or for others to let people transform the city with their own hands.
We need to raise questions and have a critical mindset on the implications of these technologies.
Those interested in the subject for academic reasons are invited to visiti and read at Academia [https://uam.academia.edu/OlgaGil]: Smart Cities Track 3 169 Gil Innovations of Governance in Cities and Urban Regions. EURA Conference 2013.
ABSTRACT
In order to study innovations of governance in cities and urban regions we have chosen
to do research on smart cities and policies in a comparative perspective. This research
is an exploratory comparative study of cities emphasizing different ways to address the
definition and implementation of the smart concept. We analyze and compare cases from China, Japan, Malaysia, Spain and United States to find out differences and
commonalities in smart city governance and public policies. Based on these cases, we
also draw tentative conclusions for governance and public urban planning in the areas
and management and organization, technology, policy context, people and communities,
economy, built in infrastructure and natural environment.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

"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.

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.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
