Las tecnologías ubicuas que nos ofrecen diariamente una nueva flexibilidad que facilita nuestra vida personal proporcionan al mismo tiempo los medios para localizarnos. Esta presentación examinará cómo las interacciones registradas con infraestructuras “soft” contemporáneas revelan elementos de nuestra movilidad e indicadores para evaluar el entorno híbrido urbano. Consideraré la aspereza y las grietas de esta emergente capa de información. Sin embargo, en vez de analizar una perspectiva utilitarista que modela la ciudad como un sistema y busca mejorar su eficiencia, me centraré en el lado humano de los datos y cómo su subjetividad y contingencia alteran nuestra relación con el espacio.

Architectural Space as a Network - Physical and Virtual CommunitiesUCL
Presentation at Workshop 'Innovation at the Verge - Computational Models of Physical / Virtual Space Interaction'; Leiden/NL, 18 Dec 2012
This talk explores the role of architectural space as a network that structures patterns of co-presence of occupants. It is suggested that one outcome of the configuration of space (in buildings or cities) is to structure a field of potential co-presence between people – a ‘virtual community’ - which gives rise to real encounter networks as people move through and inhabit it. Through the structure of physical space and the associated field of potential co-presence social groupings are either conserved, or new groupings are generated. Examples are given to illustrate this.
It is furthermore suggested that society coheres by means of both spatial and transpatial solidarities, which means individuals will participate in multiple distinct networks at the same time. Spatial networks are generated through face-to-face encounter in architectural space, and are dependent on spatial relational structures, while transpatial ties result from shared values, ethos and identities.
As technologies become more and more ubiquitous, they increasingly structure people’s patterns of interaction and seemingly move them away from physical space and into a new realm of online communities. This raises the question of whether physical space still plays the role it used to play and how we can conceptualise multiple overlapping network affiliations in both physical and virtual spaces. Therefore the affordances of technology in offering means of communication and encounter across time and space are discussed and put into perspective of the real life face-to-face networks of people realised in physical space.

le aree metropolitane italiane si sono formate nel corso di un processo pluridecennale che ha visto cambiare in modo sostanziale la distribuzione territoriale degli insediamenti abitativi, produttivi e di servizio del nostro Paese. La dispersione degli insediamenti nei territori sub e periurbani, unitamente all’aumento delle interazioni funzionali tra le città, ha portato alla formazione di aree metropolitane contraddistinte dal più forte incremento di popolazione. Poiché l’aumento di popolazione risponde alla presenza di dinamiche positive dei saldi migratori e naturali, la struttura socio-demografica delle aree metropolitane è, normalmente, ritenuta essere più giovane, multietnica, istruita e occupata di quella del resto del Paese. La dimensione metropolitana viene anche normalmente associata alla maggiore concentrazione di attività e, conseguentemente, di lavoro nei settori economici che più necessitano dei benefici offerti dalla presenza di servizi e di infrastrutture di elevata qualità e specializzazione. A loro volta, questi ultimi, troverebbero la loro localizzazione ideale nelle aree in cui il mercato è più attivo e meglio inserito nel sistema della produzione, del commercio e dei servizi a livello globale. La relazione proposta presenta i risultati di uno studio finalizzato a verificare la tenuta empirica di queste ipotesi attraverso l’analisi della dinamica della localizzazione territoriale e dalla struttura socio-demografica e del lavoro delle aree metropolitane in Italia e realizzato sui dati dei Censimenti della popolazione e delle abitazioni e dei Censimenti dell’industria, dei servizi e delle istituzioni del 1991 e 2011. Integrando criteri definitori di omogeneità, interdipendenza e morfologia, lo studio si caratterizza per la scelta di considerare metropolitane le aree che rispondono a specifici requisiti di densità di funzioni metropolitane, tra le quali particolare attenzione è dedicata al lavoro e alla mobilità per motivi di lavoro e studio. Oltre che una funzione accessoria di supporto alle altre attività insediate, quest’ultima rappresenta una dimensione costitutiva delle aree metropolitane delle quali contribuisce a definire la forma e a disegnare i confini sul territorio.

What is Urbanism at TU Delft ? (v. 2016)Roberto Rocco
This is a presentation where I introduce basic ideas on what is Urbanism at TU Delft and how it is taught. This presentation cannot be seen as the official view of the university on the subject. It is my interpretation of the course and reflects my understanding of the integration of the human sciences, the physical sciences and most particularly DESIGN in the course given at TU Delft. In this presentation, I take special care of explaining what are "objectives" of urbanism, so as to give prospective students a good notion of the tasks ahead.

Planning Liveable Cities With Big Social DataMatt Low
Big social data – data collected from online social networks such as Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare and Yelp – can provide new insights into the dynamics of cities. Billions of data points can be harvested to understand how people move around the city and how they experience the urban environment. Deeper, real-time urban insights provide the evidence base for planning more liveable cities – building more responsive transport systems, developing unique neighbourhood identities, and designing more attractive places.
These new data sets are especially useful for addressing gaps within the urban planner’s
toolbox. Firstly, while the pace of change in cities accelerates, conventional data sets (such as Census data or surveys) are updated infrequently. Secondly, there is limited data about the invisible dimensions of cities – sentiment, movement, and social networks.
Martin brynskov future internet assembly - smart cities - valenciaMartin Brynskov
Cities are complex organisms, but lived life is much more than coordination and safety. How should the Future Internet support "the other half", which is hardly less complex? Building on research within the Center for Digital Urban Living (www.digitalurbanliving.dk), from journalism and civic communication to media architecture and cultural experiences, Martin Brynskov will outline some core opportunities and challenges we face as city planning becomes increasingly digitised and dynamic.

Understanding and predicting urban dynamics through new forms of geo-social d...Achilleas Psyllidis
The recent emergence of new forms of geo-social data, deriving from social media, sensors, and mobile phones, calls for an update to the methodological toolbox of social sciences. The new methods and tools need to harmonise with the inherent characteristics and challenges of the emerging data sources. This talk demonstrates how SocialGlass, a web-based system for (real-time) urban analytics, helps improve the understanding of human dynamics in modern-day cities, by capitalising on new geo-social data and pioneering data science techniques. Emphasis is on real-world applications, regarding social area analysis, crowd dynamics during large-scale events, and location prediction of new urban functions across different cities.

the near future of tourism services based on digital tracesnicolas nova
Digital objects used by tourists such as mobile phones and cameras leave a large amount of traces. The phone can indeed be geolocated through cell-phone antennas or GPS and digital cameras take pictures that people can upload on web sharing platforms such as Flickr. All of this enable new application that allow to count tourists or provide them with new sorts of services. Based on existing experiments, the presentation will describe how the tourism industry can benefit from these digital traces to obtain new representations of tourists activities and to build up new services based on them

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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

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:

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).

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.

physical X virtual X real
public sphere
• not limited to media or public places
for sociospatial interaction
• the cultural/informational repository
for ideas and projects Castells (2008)
• social organizations and socio-
technical networks as systems and
environments
• spatial practices, interaction and
organization that did not previously
exist
Internet is not only a support element
and technological mediation
• environment to information,
communication and action
