ICT-32-2018 Project Idea: Testing smart solutions in a 4-dimensional environmentAdaptant Solutions AG
We are interested in participating in the lighthouse pilot "art-inspired interactive human-centred environments", particularly in the context of smart cities, cars and homes. Our own philosophy centres around user-centric technology and we are interested in testing smart solutions in a more realistic 4-dimensional environment employing alternative thinking that is grounded outside of traditional ICT avenues. This is particularly important when dealing with personal data implicit in smart devices and the human aspect of society. We believe that by creating novel and creative experiences in an artistic environment, new technologies and usage scenarios can be more realistically tested.

Convergence in Smart Cities: Powering the 4th Industrial Revolution Outlier Ventures
Smart cities around the world have pioneered ambitious open data frameworks. Connecting city data at an unprecedented scale. But the current economic model of the Web, its infrastructure and its data economy holds back innovation.
At Outlier Ventures more specifically we believe the convergence of technologies like blockchain, IoT and AI are forming a new bottom up stack of internet protocols.
The Convergence Stack is an aggregation of open source protocols but also a a blueprint for the positive commoditisation of data by smart cities.
Dubai is already a world leader in blockchain with a commitment to have all government transaction on a blockchain by 2020 and AI, with its own AI Lab leading Ethical AI.
Now in partnership with Outlier Ventures we are together launching a city wide Dubai Decentralised Data Programme to accelerate the next phase of the Web.
Country’s progress and sustained economic growth is a reflection to the way we dwell in the place we thrive and strive. Building healthy dwellings and developing niche in sync with Industry 4.0 interface which are based on IoT,data analytics and smart grids are the latest revolution to march ahead by applying it in real estate sector.

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
The development of Smart Cities is becoming increasingly important in the creation of intelligent ecosystems. The primary objective of Smart Cities is to enhance the quality of life of citizens while also engaging companies to work towards achieving mission zero. However, the question arises as to how this can be achieved. How can technology, urban needs, and mission zero objectives be effectively interconnected in a city setting?
Learn more about Smart City ecosystems powered by FIWARE, Smart City solutions and technologies to improve citizens life and at the end fulfilling mission zero together by the power of technology.
Be part of a discussion for future cities powered by FIWARE.
This presentation forecasts how urban planning and technology is shaping our cities through smart city initiatives. Ultimate objective is to make people happy and provide impactful experiences for people living in cities and solving cities challenges. Technology is only an enabler but people come first. These initiatives should be driven by outcomes and what cities want to achieve and become.
What does smart mean - what characterizes smart. Let's get practical about what smart cities are and how to get there. We've along evolved along the eGovernment track into today's Digital Government - what does that mean to the public sector? will we improve our service delivery? will the user experience be better ... lots to do!

Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

solutions for everyday
challenges
• Real-time data on urban environments and new
applications and funding for companies for scaling their
IoT solutions
• We develop the ways data is collected, managed, shared
and used
• We test software and devices and promote building of an
open, modular IoT platform and provide opportunities
for connectivity related POCs
• The biggest achievements: Vekotinverstas (Gadget
Workshop), IoT platforms with consent-management
19. Getting open data used (in business)
• Open data is still new to companies. There is a clear
need to raise awareness of open data.
• Development takes time. Companies’ needs in regard
to open data vary. ICT companies are familiar with the
subject, but they can’t start drawing up business plans for
other companies. Finding the kind of data that a specif-ic
company needs can take time and effort.
• Reconciling needs and inspiring commitment takes
time. Cities may not always be able to meet the business
needs of companies. Companies, on the other hand, may
not see the broader potential of the data being opened
up. As such, cities should invest in agile experimentation,
pilot projects and inspiring commitment.
• Discovering ideas takes effort. Companies may not be
as ready to utilise open data as anticipated, and even if
they are, they may lack ideas. If companies don’t know
what kind of data is open, they can’t come up with any
wishes either.
