SIP - Open Communications For Smart Grid DevicesJoe DiAdamo
A discussion and proposal of how SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) can be used for device communication in the smart grid.
** Smart Grid is an intelligent electricity grid.
This book, consisting of 14 essays from national governments, is about the concept of Connected Government and. examines the issues involved in developing and implementing compelling national e-government strategies. It explores the Connected Government strategy which is built on six pillars: citizen centricity, standardized common infrastructure, back-office reorganization, governance, new organizational model, and social inclusion.
McKinsey Global Institute Connected World-discussion-paper_february-2020DESMOND YUEN
The promise of 5G has captured the attention of business leaders, policy makers, and the media. But how much of that promise is likely to be realized anytime soon?
With the first true high-band 5G networks already live, we set out to take a realistic view of how and where connectivity could be deployed and what it can enable over the next 10 years. But 5G is not appearing in isolation. This research takes a more expansive view of connectivity to include other technologies, ranging from fiber and satellites to Wi-Fi and short-range technologies.
Despite the hype about remote surgery and Star Trek–style holodecks in everyone’s living rooms, the future is not solely happening on the frontier. Existing connectivity technologies are expanding and evolving, with new standards that boost network performance—and they are much less capital-intensive. We have identified an enormous array of use cases that can run on this type of upgraded backbone. Companies do not have to wait for high-band 5G to implement new systems and go after the resulting productivity gains.
To illustrate what is possible, this research looks at how connectivity could be deployed in mobility, healthcare, manufacturing, and retail. The use cases we identified in these four commercial domains alone could boost global GDP by $1.2 trillion to $2 trillion by 2030. This implies that the value at stake will ultimately run trillions of dollars higher across the entire global economy.

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.

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.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*

National Strategic Framework for Bridging the Digital Divide (NSF – BDD)
The Digital Divide is a socio-economic situation that arises
when a segment or segments of society have unequal
access to contemporary Information and Communication
Technologies (ICTs)
First generation definitions refer to access to
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs)
Second generation refers to access plus adoption of
ICTs
Third Generation Definition: NSF – BDD Definition
“The digital divide is seen more in terms of the value of
the developmental benefits that ICTs make possible
than in the actual physical access to the technology.”

24. “…Emphasis will also be given to empowering the people through ICT. This
stems from my firm belief that ICT should not be elitist, but should touch
the lives of every individual. Hence, a major part of the MSC Malaysia’s
strategy will be to reduce the digital divide, foster transparency and
efficiency, and increase the usage and adoption of ICT so that the benefits
can be felt by the wider community.
In order to narrow the country‟s existing regional economic and digital divide,
the MSC Malaysia will be rolled out to other parts of the country through the
creation of new MSC Malaysia cybercities and cybercentres.”
