Living in a Hyper-Connected World – How Cities Need to get Smarter and More D...Nirvesh Sooful
Cities are where the action is. That's where innovation is happening. A city is an interconnected system of systems. Infrastructure, people, processes and technology make a city. In modern cities, there's a lot of data about everything. Lots of sensors are already deployed everywhere - in buildings, roads, and utility grids; and lots of new information-based processes are in place. Everything is more information-rich, so you have to think about information as another significant resource you use to manage city life. Citizens are also more connected than ever before, they have access to a lot more information, and have powerful platforms of their own. Big data, mobile, social media, cloud, digital inclusion, open data, broadband, etc. are powerful forces that will impact on cities now and in the future - creating both opportunities and challenges for cities. This case study explores the digital enablement of one large South African city.
In 2000, the newly formed metropolitan City of Cape Town adopted the “Smart City” strategy, which was a turnaround strategy for the city aimed at information-enabling all key business processes in the city and embarking upon a modernisation programme to deliver services based on real information emanating from the ground (operations). This case study looks both at what has been done in the 13 years since the Smart City strategy was adopted, as well as what needs to be done in a future hyperconnected world. In addition to being of relevance to government leaders, the presentation should be of relevance to all CIOs and business leaders on how today’s new technologies, global competition and new business models will shift the focus from an internal efficiency view to a more outside-in view of the digital world and the role of their organisation within it.

Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.
[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
