The document discusses the CitySDK project, which aims to create an open toolkit for developing digital services in European cities. The toolkit will include open interfaces, processes, guidelines and standards to enable transferring smart city applications between cities. It will focus on three pilot domains: smart participation, mobility, and tourism. The goal is to make it easier for developers to create apps that can be used across multiple cities, and to create new business opportunities for cities. The project has funding of 6.8 million euros and involves 23 partners from 9 countries.

"Collaborative platform based on standard services for the semi-automated generation of the 3D city model on the cloud"
Webinar on 17 of May 2022.
Experiences from the IRIS Lighthouse Cities.
Urban Data Platforms are at the core of the digital transformation and the basis for data-driven solutions addressing the challenges of today’s cities and communities. An Urban Data Platform exploits modern digital technologies to bring together and integrate data flows within and across city systems and make data (re)sources accessible to participants in the cities’ ecosystem. The easy sharing of city data between city services, organizations, companies, and citizens provides many positive outcomes for society:
• can help streamline urban mobility systems
• deliver improved health and well-being outcomes
• reduce energy consumption and support the use of local low-carbon energy
• connecting city assets to enable more joined-up multi-purpose services and infrastructures

Cloud based Smart City hubs are an attractive approach to addressing some of the complex issues faced when deploying PaaS infrastructure for Smart Cities. In this paper we introduce the general notion of IoT hubs and then discusses our work to generalize our IoT hub as a Smart City PaaS. Two key issues are identified, support for hybrid public/private cloud and interoperability. We briefly describe our approach to these issues and discuss our experiences deploying two cloud-based Smart City hubs, one in the UK and the other in Canada.
This Smart Region ambition of the regional council is declined into five operational pillars driving our action in terms of digital transformation of territories and organizations.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

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.

Helsingin kaupungin kehittäjätapaaminen city sdk 100512
1. City Service Development Kit Smart
Open interfaces
Open public data City
City as a platform
“Write app for Helsinki, run it in Amsterdam”
Whatever makes developer life easier
2. CitySDK
Transfer of Smart City applications from one city to another is challenging due to lack
of:
– Unified backend technologies;
– Innovative end-user services; and
– Unified markets beyond single cities
To tackle this problem CitySDK aims to create toolkit for developing digital services in
the European cities.
Toolkit includes open and interoperable digital service interfaces, processes, guidelines
and usability standards
The toolkit enables more efficient utilization of the developer community and creates
new business opportunities in the cities
Focus on three domains; participation, mobility and tourism

17. Motivation for Open311
• It is the only standard in this area.
• It is used in several cities in USA.
• It has quite an active community behind.
⇒It’s good enough and has potential to become
globally used standard.
http://www.open311.org/
18. Supported use cases
• Use case 1: Submitting a service request
• Use case 2: Quering individual service request
• Use case 3: Quering service requests

23. Use case 5: Mobility of service user
• Users may move between cities (Helsinki, Espoo or Barcelona)
and use application to submit service requests.
• Service requests are routed to the correct city endpoint
without the help of the user.
– No solution yet.
– We try to have solution which is compliant with Open311 standard
– Solution may no have any impact on service request interface
24. Use cases under consideration

– How to use Service Map unit ids as location parameter?
– service_request_object_type=http://www.hel.fi/palvelukarttaws/rest/ver2.html
– service_request_object_id=12345
– Any use for more complex geomerty like lines and polygons?
27. We need developer feedback (2/2)
• Mobility between cities
– How to detect where the user is and where to send service request?
– Helsinki vs. Espoo vs. Vantaa
• Accurate address parameter
– Manually typed addresses are not accurate
– Lat,lon mapped to accurate address or some other mean to verify the address
• Push notifications on changes
– Currently only pull model supported, enough?
– Pull vs. Push model and how to do push notifications (e.g. Pubsubhubbub)
• How to use user identification parameters?
– Current plan is not to have user accounts on city’s service
– How to use device_id and author_id parameters?
28. Developer testing and usage
• Test interface comes available later this year
– Enable debugging sent data and responses
• API key will be required for posting service
requests
– Some sort of validation needed for API key
– This will be available next year
• Anyone interested to join effort to setup open
source Open311 server for testing?
– Server could be available almost immediately
29. Next steps
• We want to build community around CitySDK
topics => Join us on Facebook, events and
elsewhere!
