To be of value, big data must often flow across national borders from one country to another. Mandated local data storage of consumer as well as industrial data can restrict or prevent these data flows. This presentation examines restrictive data trade policies and the implications for companies and countries.
Smart metering and smart grids are the future of the energy industry. They’re the gateway to better data - data that will enable consumers to make better decisions about their energy consumption.
And, while consumers benefit from more detailed information about the cost and the amount of energy they’re consuming, producers and suppliers also reap the rewards of smarter infrastructure. The data from smart meters and grids provides them with the sort of information that allows them to tailor their products for the market and provide better services and choices for consumers.
Our latest case study shows how ElectraLink turned to HP to help it evolve its infrastructure ahead of an influx of huge volumes of smart meter data.
In this presentation, Sai introduces SMAC and associated trends. Sai is interested in working on the reliability of cloud infrastructure and protecting data loss.

Connecting with a low-carbon future. This report examines how Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
can help unlock the financial and environmental benefits of a low-carbon
economy, building on the findings of the 2007 Telstra-commissioned report,
Towards a High-Bandwidth Low-Carbon Future (the 2007 Report). The findings in this report reveal that
the potential of ICT to help reduce
energy costs and carbon emissions has
grown substantially over the past seven
years and, if realised, the opportunities
identified here could help Australians
substantially cut emissions, by 27.5
MtCO2-e per year and achieve savings and
revenue of almost $8.92
billion per year.
Since the 2007 Report was released,
the pressure on governments and
business to reduce energy use and carbon
emissions has intensified. Energy prices
have increased significantly and there
is increasing scientific confidence that
human activity is a major contributor to
climate change.
Given regulatory and societal pressure
to address climate change, Australian
businesses must find ways to reduce
carbon emissions, while at the same time
containing costs and balancing their
public reputation with shareholder and
investor requirements.

About SIGFOX
SIGFOX is the first and only operator of a cellular network fully dedicated to low throughput communication for connected objects. Leveraging on its patented UNB technology SIGFOX brings a revolution to the M2M and Internet of Things world by enabling large-scale connection of objects. The network already connects tens of thousands of objects in France and international cities.
SIGFOX provides an end-to-end solution for your communication chain, from your objects through to your information system, with unprecedented pricing models and low energy consumption.
As a network operator SIGFOX operates fixed-location
transceivers enabling your objects to be connected “out of the box”. However contrary to the telecommunication networks, the SIGFOX transceivers and the entire SIGFOX connectivity solution has been developed, built and deployed to only serve the low throughput M2M and IoT applications. As an operated longrange network, SIGFOX provides connectivity without the need to deploy specific network infrastructures for each application.
Unlike other narrow band or white space solution providers we do not require our customers to invest in network equipment, the SIGFOX network is simply available to any object equipped with our certified connectivity solutions.
From an application point of view, the SIGFOX connectivity solution functions as follows:
• SIGFOX compatible modems are integrated within the physical objects by our certified partner network
• The objects instruct the modems to send messages whenever and wherever needed
• The transmitted data is picked up by the SIGFOX transceivers, and routed to our managed service
• The SIGFOX servers verify the data integrity and route the messages to the application’s IT system.
(...)
Sample use cases.
MAAF Assurances, one of the leading French insurance companies, anticipate the upcoming regulation that will impose by 2015 that each household be equipped with a smoke detector. The fire and/or intrusion alert service that will be using the SIGFOX network will enable MAAF insured customers to be warned directly through SMS, in case the intrusion or smoke detectors send alarms and allow MAAF and their customers to be alerted if there is an anomaly, such as low battery, with the
smoke detector.
Clear Channel Outdooroperates stations throughout France. In order to avoid constant manual inspection of the ad stations, a remote monitoring application has been deployed and the SIGFOX network is used to communicate status information from each ad station to the IT system.

Cost Benefits of Cloud vs. In-house IT for Higher EducationCSCJournals
Cloud Computing is an excellent alternative for Higher Education in a resource limited setting. Universities should take advantage of available cloud-based application offered by service providers and enable their own user/student to perform business and academic tasks. In this paper, we will compare the cost between on-premise options and Cloud Computing. Two cost estimates will be created, the firstfor building and setting up IT infrastructure in-house in Federal University of Technology (FUTO), Nigeria while the second cost estimate will be for setting up IT in the cloud for the same Institution.This will enable us know the cost benefit cloud has over onpremise in setting up IT in Higher Educations.
this is a first draft of the keynote talk i am going to give on tuesday at the ad age digital conference. the numbers in here are not entirely vetted and there are bound to be some mistakes. comments appreciated as i refine and finish this.

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!

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.

4. Power To The People To us, this appears to be one of the great constants of the web. It is taking power away from existing large institutions and pushing it out to smaller entities and often all the way to individuals. In the process it is building up new institutions (such as Google), but the net result appears to be a distinct shift of “power to the people.” http://www.unionsquareventures.com/2008/09/power_to_the_pe_1.html
5. Capital Efficiency It takes about 1/10th the hardware, software, bandwidth, storage, and other expenses to build a web service compared to what it took in the 1999/2000 time period. That was before services like Amazon Web Services, Google App Engine, 10Gen, and other "cloud computing" platforms emerged as real options. It's gotten even less expensive now. http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2008/10/capital-efficie.html
25. The Smart Grid Smart Grid infrastructure consists of electronic meters at each residence and business, an information network to carry data from the meters to the utilities in near real-time AND to bring information on the instantaneous price of electricity back to consumers; gadgets which help us automatically adjust our electrical use to prices in whatever way we want to do that; and lots of electronics and other devices in the electrical grid itself, which let the grid use the information on usage to adjust transmission and supply and accommodate the varying output from alternative energy sources. http://blog.tomevslin.com/2009/03/whats-a-smart-grid-and-why-does-it-matter.html
