DIVISIONS COUNCIL
FY2012 ANNUAL DIVISION PERFORMANCE REPORT
TECHNOLOGY DIVISION
1. Summary of Major Accomplishments
The Technology Division links members who share interests in the uses of technology in land use planning and community development to make great communities happen.
Vision
Our vision is to be a leading voice in the planning community for technology in support of planning and to become the preferred forum for debate about technology as it applies to planning.
Why?
The use of technology is integral to how communities are communicating and engaging their citizens to plan for the future. Big data and rapidly evolving tools for community design and decision making are creating new opportunities to enhance public involvement, share information, and make more informed decisions in cities and towns throughout the country.
Purpose
Our purpose is to exchange information about planning applications that incorporate technology, to explore potential applications that may have benefit to the profession, and to inform all members of the association about solutions that work. We believe the planning community needs a voice to advocate for best practices in technology. The division advocates for the responsible and best use of technology in support of planning.

Divisions Council - Education Committee (Summer 2011)
Introduction
This report provides a description of existing services, both external and in-house, available to APA divisions for hosting and broadcasting webcasts to their members and other interested professionals, and specifically looks at the external Planning Webcast series. In addition, it includes an analysis of options for expanding these services. The report was produced in response to a request from the APA Divisions Council (DC), as follows:
Mission Statement *
To develop DC’s recommendations for educational programs, professional development and mentoring to be provided by divisions.
1. To seek opportunities for complementary efforts among divisions, and with APA's component groups, including the Chapter Presidents Council (CPC), Student Representative Council (SRC), and American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP).
2. The committee will also consider collaboration opportunities with external organizations where it serves APA's interests and furthers the adopted Development Plan.
“In addition to its standing mission, the DC Education Committee (EC) shall develop one or more models through which Divisions may both deliver Certification Maintenance (CM) content and also generate additional sources of revenue for Divisions. The Committee shall consider current APA policies regarding access to Webinar software and the pricing of such access. Also, in building a revenue or business model, consider the pricing of other CM offerings, especially Webinars.”
Towards these objectives, key team members were recruited at the National Conference in Boston. Refer to Appendix 2 for committee composition.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

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.
