Creating Smarter Cities 2011 - 11 - Richard Hanley - Research and technical d...Smart Cities Project
My presentation will explain why the board of the Journal of Urban Technology was interested in producing a focus issue on the SmartCities Project. In the US, the term “smart city” has been appropriated by transnational corporations. Their definition of that term, thus, gets traction internationally. Perhaps no corporation’s smart city campaign is bigger than IBM’s with its Smart Planet effort that focuses on cities. That corporation takes a systems approach to the operation of cities. This entails using sensor technologies to gather data, using new analytic approaches to analyze the data, modeling that data, and then managing a client city’s systems based on those models. The stated goals of the program are urban efficiency and global sustainability. Sustainability and efficiency are also the selling points of the smart cities visions of other corporations such as Siemens and Cisco. While the papers in the focus issue of JUT do not argue that cities should be inefficient or unsustainable, they offer an additional task for the new technologies that make smart cities possible—that task is to offer innovative means for citizens to learn about, and participate in, the democratic operation of their government. It is this detailing of innovative means that can now be used to increase democratic participation in the creation and use of government services and government operation that makes this focus issue an important contribution to the international conversation on smart cities and the technologies that enable them.

Presentation at the Workshop on Municipal Fiber Networks, October 24th 2011 in Ghent, Belgium. The workshop was organised by Ghent University - IBCN / IBBT. More information about this event can be found at http://http://events.ibbt.be/en/workshop-municipal-fiber-networks.
The economies of mankind have evolved dramatically over time. From hunter-gatherers, we settled down once
we discovered the art of farming, thereby giving rise to the first settlements and the first true economies.
Nevertheless, as settlements became towns we became reliant on trading, even more so as empires started to
flourish in the ancient times. This, in turn, resulted in a manufacturing base which grew rapidly with the start of
the industrial era in the 1800’s which further cemented the dominant position that the West had in the world.
However, as we know, it did not stop there and soon it became apparent that in order to manage such complex
systems, information and knowledge was required. The age of the knowledge worker was upon us and it is estimated by the IDC that the growth rate of knowledge workers worldwide doubled compared to that of other occupations between 1999 and 2007. This has underpinned the continuing economic growth of the West, but also necessitated structural changes in its economies as knowledge work differs not only from manual work in that it delivers information rather than goods, but it also requires higher degrees of flexibility and autonomy and
is reliant on innovation driven by collaboration. This, in turn, necessitates different systems, working practices, technology and organisational models.
Whilst the West has been building up its knowledge industry, it did so at the expense of its manufacturing
industry as its citizens became wealthier and rising labour costs made it economically unviable to compete with
developing countries who were not burdened with such welfare and legacy costs. The result was a notable shift
in manufacturing from the developed countries towards the developing countries, but as the latter ones are
building up their product base too, many of them are now also undergoing a rapid transition into knowledge
based industries.

Smart Cities - Learning from Intel Cities - The Community of Practice as a vi...Smart Cities Project
This report is the second on the IntelCities Community of Practice (CoP) and outlines the integrated - innovation seeking and knowledge creating - model of eGov services developed under the shared enterprise of the organisation’s capacity-building activities, co-design actions, monitoring and evaluation exercises. This offers a synopsis of the information technology (IT) adopted by the IntelCities CoP to develop the organisation’s e-learning platform, Knowledge Management System and digital library as a set of semantically-interoperable eGov services supporting the crime, safety and security initiatives of socially-inclusive and participatory urban regeneration programmes.
My presentation illustrates an on-going study in the field of Smart cities’ evaluation. The analysis starts from a revised notion of triple helix considering that Civil society plays a prominent role toward the realization of sustainable development in cities (Etzkowitz and Zhou, 2006).
In order to assess the connections between Smart city development and this institutionalization of the Triple Helix, an Analytic Network Process model has been developed. This interrelated model is used for investigating the relations between smart cities components (smart governance; smart economy; smart people; smart living; smart environment), actors (Universities, Government, Industry and Civil Society ) and policy visions derived from the “Urban Europe” Joint Programme Initiatives, i.e. strategies to which the smart cities are moving to (Connected City, Entrepreneurial City, Liveable City and Pioneer City).
Creating Smarter Cities 2011 - 02 - Nicos Komninos - What makes cities smart?Smart Cities Project
Smart cities are expected to deal with major contemporary city challenges of competiveness within a knowledge economy, employment for social cohesion, and environmental sustainability, less greenhouse emissions and energy efficiency. The presentation discusses different trajectories and organisational settings that make cities more intelligent, and how collective intelligence, people-driven innovation, and future Internet solutions advance the efficiency, performance, and governance of cities.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

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.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
