Smart cities are about people and technology. This webinar will discuss groundbreaking examples of successful projects as well as pitfalls. It will be a broad discussion kickstarting with a look at the following issues:
-How should a city go about developing a strategy for development in a 'smart' way?
-How can community revitalisation be supported with new technology?
-How can citizens be helped to go about their business using smart technology, for example in the area of transport?
Whether it is democratic accountability, energy efficiency and renewable energy, zero waste targets or walkability there is hardly an area of life that is not being touched by revolutionary promise of smart cities. But as an umbrella term it is often used in advisedly. This webinar will attempt to sort out genuine success stories from business as usual hype.
Future Urban Design for the Emergence of a Fluid Sense of SelfUniversity of Oxford
Given the growing pace of urbanisation and the need for developing cohesive, and resilient communities, it is crucial to discuss how we can better design the space of our future cities. Inspired by the movement of open spaces in cities across the world, resilience theory and the concept of smart cities, I demonstrate that city and human resilience are tightly interlinked and it is possible to positively influence both through utilising the transformative power of open spaces and smart technologies in novel ways. Moreover, drawing on my main line of research on resilience of complex adaptive systems (e.g., people, places and natural systems), I present synthetic ways to rethink urban design and harness the transformative function of flexible structures such as open spaces and pervasive technologies such as Internet of Things to help people and communities explore new sociocultural possibilities that open them up to explore new possibilities, and eventually shifting our shared social realities toward new horizons.

Addressing the challenges of local consultations – an international perspectivemruk
Presentation delivered to the LARIA annual conference, March 2015. The slides showcase examples from across Europe, demonstrating how innovative local consultations have helped change local communities.
New ways of delivering public consultation - LARIA conference presentation 2015Rachel Cope
We believe there is much we can learn from our European neighbours and we will use this session to demonstrate this.
Our session focused on 3 key challenges faced when carrying out consultations:
• Value for money
• Inclusiveness and transparency
• Actionability
Using our international primary and secondary research experience we shared best practice examples from Europe to show how this has helped shape transformational initiatives, demonstrating the sectors that put most faith in the consultation approach.

Boosting Impacts of Cultural project on citizen and territoriesAndrea Pugliese
Cultural tourists desire an immersive and customized experience, effective pre- and post-experience services, on-line and off-line relations, trust.
For the territory, this means building a more complex relationship, almost a partnership, where empathy and value-building exceeds the consumption of resources.
Cultural projects also reveal roots and create new ties that change the relationship of citizens with the territory and transform them into ambassadors, testers, lenders, designers, and suppliers.
The impacts are therefore on economic, occupational, social, and environmental levels and as such should be designed, evaluated, told to generate further positive results.

(Gerard Gassol). This work will focus in how climate change will affect the city of Schiedam. We will study the main consequences of climate change in the Netherlands and we will focus in flood. How floods will affect the City at mid and long term. In order to do an accurate approach, we will consult various studies but specially the last KNMI’14 study, developed by the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute.
(Fernando Campos). Empowering local business parks through collaborative&complementary-IT based strategies : companies in Schiedam lack information about products and services delivered by other companies situated in the same business park. They could make better use of each other's services and products. We are looking for a social platform for local entrepreneurs to: improve industrial cooperation, improve exchange of personnel and other services, reduce traffic/transport, promote energy efficiency, facilitate communication with the local administration and improve safety.
(David Rodriguez). This project, on the collaboration agreement framework between the University of Girona and the Schiedam municipality, will try to analyze the current status of the waste collection in residential areas and propose some solutions in the smart city vision. The main goal is to improve recycling and reduce waste volume in a more sustainable city.
(Albert Tàpia). This work proposes some solutions for helping Schiedam to become a smart tourist destination and at the same time, boosting its economy and resolving some of its main problems such as the lack of occupancy in the main shopping street or the lack of real-time data that can help to improve the quality of life of Schiedam.
(Jaume Sala). The initial definition of this project consisted on three questions: How can the city administration connect/combine own data sets within the existing IT structure in order to make multidimensional analysis? How can we (the government of Schiedam) combine these datasets with datasets from several stakeholders? And finally, what kind of new information can become available? The objectives of the project were the following: Implement a tool to achieve the visual representation of georeferenced datasets, analyze the possibility to combine multiple datasets in the same graphical representation, and propose a new datasets organization related to smart city indicators and geospatial data.
Project 8. Project of Nearly Zero Energy District [nZED] for (Nil Juvanteny i Vanessa Gàlvez). The main objective of this project is to achieve a nearly zero energy district [nZED] for the city center of Schiedam. The most important idea of the project is to develop a model that can be exported to any neighborhood, district, area of the city, independently if it is rich or poor, big or small. The principle of “nearly zero energy” means a very high level of energy performance that is traduced in low energy consumption which should be covered using renewable sources. These renewable sources are used not just to cover the energy consumption but also to sell the surplus and make profit from that.

(Marc Fortuny). Parking management refers to strategies that result in a more efficient use of parking resources. Most parking management strategies have modest individual impacts, typically reducing parking requirements by 5 to 15 percent, but taken together cumulatively, their impacts are synergistic that often the amount of parking at a destination by 20 to 30 percent. Several steps must be taken to ensure parking management strategies will be supported by residents, business owners, and visitors to the affected area. The City is in the process of developing a comprehensive toolbox of parking management options that can be implemented in the study area.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

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.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

require different aspects involved, just like a city. To create
value, we must bring together different aspects of the digital
age
17. Reaching the citizens
The main idea behind this proposal is to
attract different segments of the
population generating content of interest
by the same philosophy that lies behind
social networks.
18. Social networking in co-creation
Create the necessary
publicity for projects that
are publicly available.
Spread the message of "trend"
of the moment
Generate interest and
expectation
19. Get to know “Green People” concept
They are the ones who take care of
the city. Green people aren’t just
green because of the green spaces,
they are green because they help to
sustain and leverage a community
just like nature’s ecosystem. Green
citizens enjoy the spaces that they
create and share with each other,
they are ”green” because they’ve
realized the importance of the
environment and the community that
lives on it.
