This document discusses empowering citizens to participate in sensing activities to help create smarter cities. It outlines how citizens can help gather data using their smartphones' sensors to monitor things like traffic, noise, and environmental conditions. This participatory approach called "crowdsourcing" or "crowdsensing" can help reduce the cost of data acquisition and harness people's creativity. The document also discusses challenges around data ownership and integrating information from various sources to create useful insights and applications for citizens, businesses and governments.

Environmental pollution is causing a wide range of diseases and premature deaths. Yet, public understanding of these important issues are lacking. The Smart Citizens Lab helps citizens to use open source hard- and software to complement existing environmental sensor networks and gain a better understanding of the current state of pollution, and make this insight actionable.
This presentation was delivered first at the Montréal Smart City Expo, March 26 2015.
Examples of sensors as soon as an inspiration for the mini design challenge during the first Amsterdam Smart Citizens Lab meeting on May 13 at Waag Society. #IAmSmart

Talk given at FBK, Trento with my views on how we could progress towards Smarter Cities, those cities that do not only pursue resource efficiency but mainly focus on addressing the citizen actual needs in their daily interactions with the city. This presentation addresses: a) how an enabling platform for Smarter Cities must support developers by providing well-known interfaces and data management languages (REST, JSON and SQL) and b) also end-users by enabling them to contribute with data, still continuously analyzing the quality of their provided data.
Cisco smart city aims to pioneer Internet of Everything (IoE) into every home, street and community aimed at ensuring safety for citizens and increasing energy efficiency. This presentation on the alignment of IT, Business and Corporate strategies gives a detailed idea on how a company as big as cisco can implement their plan into action.

Internet of Things (IoT) - We Are at the Tip of An IcebergDr. Mazlan Abbas
You are likely benefitting from The Internet of Things (IoT) today, whether or not you’re familiar with the term. If your phone automatically connects to your car radio, or if you have a smartwatch counting your steps, congratulations! You have adopted one small piece of a very large IoT pie, even if you haven't adopted the name yet.
IoT may sound like a business buzzword, but in reality, it’s a real technological revolution that will impact everything we do. It's the next IT Tsunami of new possibility that is destined to change the face of technology, as we know it. IoT is the interconnectivity between things using wireless communication technology (each with their own unique identifiers) to connect objects, locations, animals, or people to the Internet, thus allowing for the direct transmission of and seamless sharing of data.
IoT represents a massive wave of technical innovation. Highly valuable companies will be built and new ecosystems will emerge from bridging the offline world with the online into one gigantic new network. Our limited understanding of the possibilities hinders our ability to see future applications for any new technology. Mainstream adoption of desktop computers and the Internet didn’t take hold until they became affordable and usable. When that occurred, fantastic and creative new innovation ensued. We are on the cusp of that tipping point with the Internet of Things.
IoT matters because it will create new industries, new companies, new jobs, and new economic growth. It will transform existing segments of our economy: retail, farming, industrial, logistics, cities, and the environment. It will turn your smartphone into the command center for the both digital and physical objects in your life. You will live and work smarter, not harder – and what we are seeing now is only the tip of the iceberg.

Smart city platform for 21st century service deliveryTristan Wiggill
A presentation by Jaco Cromhout (Head: Specialised Solution Sales) at the Transport Forum SIG 2 June 2016 hosted by George Municipality. The theme for the event was: "Smart City" and the topic of the presentation was: "Smart City Platform for 21st Century Service Delivery"
In this presentation, Harsha introduces IoT and talks about various trends shaping the world today. He feels that smart cities is where the innovation will happen since it is driven by human migrating in large numbers to cities.
Guest Lecture on IOT for Taylor's University (April 15, 2015) - Things that are connected to the Internet can be smarter than you think. There can be embedded intelligence to the device but there are time, a higher processing power is required in the cloud. But when you aggregate various kinds of data from multiple sources, it will bring better insights that you might not have the ability to find out if its data resides in silos. To build smarter world, we need smarter people to make it work.

0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

6. 10/90 RULE
The Last 100 meter
connectivity
The “last 100 meters” represent > 90% potential number of connections
Today, the devices used in the “last 100 meters” are typically not connected. The wide-area network is
to a larger extent connected e.g. through smartphones, home routers (e.g. ADSL routers) and GSM /
3G / 4G Routers.
Still DisconnectedConnected World
9. Smart City Approach
Too much focus on the role of large technology companies and
governments as the catalysts of technology-enabled progress.
10. DO NOT ignore the most important dimension of cities i.e. the people who
live, work and create within them.
11. As citizens turn smart so will the cities they inhibit.
Traffic Volume Maps
76% want sensors in streets, pavements and public areas to report how
crowded a street, shopping mall or park is.

Technology may help mitigate the “black hole” problem.
EMPOWER THE CITIZENS TO SENSE
14. BUILDING 3 TYPES OF CITIES
1. ROI-driven
– the aim of rolling out smart city technologies is to
generate income which pays for its deployment and
more. There are many cities in the western
hemisphere which fall into this category, such as Los
Angeles, London.
2. Carbon-driven
– The aim here is to reduce the carbon footprint and
ideally become carbon neutral long-term. These are
mainly cities in Middle and Northern Europe, such as
Luxembourg, Helsinki, etc.
3. Vanity-driven
– Finally, “vanity” driven cities are mainly driven by
events where the entire world is watching and they
want to be perceived as “modern”
15. TO OVERCOME 3 KEY CHALLENGES
Only by addressing all three can organizations turn raw data into information
and actionable insights.
Integrating data
from multiple
sources
Automating the
collection of data
Analyzing data to
effectively identify
actionable insights

What kind of vehicle?
Where is the empty parking lot?
When is the peak period?
How to implement a tiered charging?
How to find “overstayed” vehicles?
Why this parking area is not fully
occupied?
Who Benefits? - Citizens / Parking Operators / City Council / Shops

20. All personal items, such as mobile phones,
wrist watches, spectacles, laptops, soft
drinks, food items and household items,
such as televisions, cameras, microwaves,
washing machines, etc
Private business
organization has the right
to take the decision
whether to publish the
sensors attached to those
items to the cloud or not.
Public infrastructure such as
bridges, roads, parks, etc. All
the sensors deployed by the
government will be
published in the cloud
depending on government
policies.
Business entities who deploy
and manage sensors by
themselves by keeping
ownership. They earn by
publishing the sensors and
sensor data they own
through sensor publishers.

CHALLENGES – DATA OWNERSHIP
26. The city would pay for access to
the light sensors in order to
decide when to turn on and off
the street lights
Gathering temperature, light,
pressure, humidity and
pollution.
COMMERCIAL IOT SENSOR PROVIDER
A university may want access
to the pollution information for
research purposes for a limited
period
The weather department
would want the temperature
and pressure data
The street town council center
would want the temperature
and humidity data for
planning during rough
weather
36. Incident reporting facilities - citizens can report on issues concerning public infrastructure allowing
collective collaboration to ensure an active response

43. Changes in the law do not adapt as quickly as technology
changes behavior.
Example - Many city managers now carry Smartphones — and some
receive communications from citizens about potholes. They worry: The
law says, once a pothole is reported, the city is responsible for any
damage a car experiences — once it’s officially reported.
In a web 2.0 world, what’s an “official” report — when does liability
begin — once the city official receives a text? Once a formal notice is
filed? Once it’s tweeted to the world?
