A call to librarians to use their library powers in the community beyond the walls of their institutions as the open data folks need their knowledge!
Title:
Open Sesame: Open Data, Data Liberation and New Opportunities for Libraries
Abstract:
Cities and data producers are quickly embracing Open Data, albeit unevenly. The Data Liberation Initiative (DLI) has been a pioneer in broadening access to data for nearly two decades. This session will examine the relevance of Data Liberation in terms of Open Data and explore how librarians can step up to the plate to make Open Data/Open Government as successful as DLI.
Speakers:
- Wendy Watkins, Data Librarian, Carleton University
- Ernie Boyko, Adjunct Data Librarian, Carleton University
- Tracey P. Lauriault, Post Doctoral Fellow, Carleton University (tlauriau@gmail.com)
- Margaret Haines, University Librarian, Carleton University
Is there really a need for MTA to go digital? Do they have anything to be afraid of. We prove that it does. You can see that as a pitching, business propositions or even a bunch of cool ideas.

In this talk, Dr. Haitao Li will introduce the food supply chain configuration problem (FSCCP) to optimize the tactical-level mode selection and inventory positioning decisions for a general multi-echelon food supply chain. Computational studies show that the optimal FSCCP solutions significantly outperform two heuristic solutions that focus solely on cost or quality. Managerial insights are obtained on the impacts of key input parameters on the optimal configuration and performance metrics.

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:

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!

Editor's Notes
With technology, vendor, budgeting and other program aspects rapidly changing there’s a pressing need for the opportunity to exchange information among peers Members were surveyed to better understand their specific areas of interest Strongly emphasized wanting to hear from peers about lessons learned through experience
- Research has just begun; started with survey issued just over a week ago to get insight on current practice
- More than one response from a couple states, some chose not to provide contact info
Nearly every state has some form of real-time traveler information program. Since the July 2000 designation of 511 as a nationwide telephone number for travel related information, most states and many large metropolitan areas have implemented some form of this telephone service in particular. It has also been common for agencies to develop companion web pages as another dissemination tool. In recent years, social media tools (e.g., Twitter, Constant Contact, etc.) have emerged and many agencies are now using them to share information with travelers as well. These questions relate to the tools that your agency uses today to – directly and indirectly – disseminate real-time traveler information. This will give insight on what some agencies are actually doing Web pages (100), DMS (96) and 511 (83) most prevalent – green stars Social media use is growing Twitter (65) – orange star Blogs (13) were least used – red star Would be good to know what customers prefer and how that breaks down across ages, socioeconomic status, etc.
- Other (public entities)
23 CFR 511 requires, “The real-time information program shall include traffic and travel condition information for, as a minimum, all the Interstate highways operated by the State.” ALL currently provide road work closures and delays, as well as traffic incident closures and delays Nearly all (95) provide their camera images – even though that’s not technically part of 23 CFR 511 ALL also provide information for state and interstate roadways Only 36% provide information on local roadways Less than 10% (only 2 respondents) provide public transportation information
Wanted to get some idea of how agencies see themselves in terms of being a source of data and/or traveler information
55% have goals, 45% do NOT 59% have targets/measures, 41% do NOT Some are more extensive – WSDOT publishes annual report and tracks call/web volumes, web site feedback, types of information requested, emerging tools (e.g. Twitter, Blog, etc.)
- Interesting variety here; some commented that traveler information is an important part of their agency face
We’ll explore the survey responses more closely and do further research in the coming weeks A complete summary of the survey and research will be provided through the ENTERPRISE project web page
From survey, some see information moving directly into the vehicle Others remain focused on the agency delivering information Still others see the agency role changing to one of simply providing data for others to turn into information for dissemination
