2012 URISA Track, Civic Engagement and Success through the Cloud, Anthony Pal...GIS in the Rockies
Proactive communication (Civic Engagement) can provide people and organizations a means to integrate, organize, and promote information. Within organizations proactive communication increases the chances for success, improves morale and motivates people, promotes shared responsibilities, integrates business units, and is a foundational component for proficient business practices for effective government.
In the case of government agencies, Civic Engagement is essential and with the mantra of “do more with less” this vital engagement across departments and with constituents will determine success or failure. Government agencies need to have well-ordered work processes in order to communicate their desired results. Can government agencies improve their communication procedures and work processes to better meet their business needs? The short answer is yes!
This presentation will demonstrate how multiple government agencies are addressing these needs successfully through the Civic Engagement with their constituents, across department and divisions by delivering vital services through the cloud.
Goals:
1. Review the current government communication methods vs. proactive
2. Review the government agencies plans to address Civic Engagement
3. Demonstrate how they are achieving Civic Engagement with their constituents internal and external
Presentation to the National Association of Regional Councils describing the issues surrounding broadband access, adoption, and use and how the Connected program from Connected Nation is helping to address those issues in communities across the country.
Public data is an underutilized resource developers and entrepreneurs should be able to use to build apps and businesses. But not all government agencies see the value in making their data publicly available. Go Code Colorado challenges developers to create apps that solve business problems and create new businesses in the process. Join us to hear how Go Code is creating a community that values open data, from state agencies that are making their data public, to developers that are creating innovative solutions to make Colorado a better place to do business.

IoT, AI and Blockchain: Catalysts for Digital TransformationAhmed Banafa
The digital revolution has brought with it a new way of thinking about manufacturing and operations. Emerging challenges associated with logistics and energy costs are influencing global production and associated distribution decisions. Significant advances in technology, including big data and analytics, AI, Internet of Things, robotics and additive manufacturing, are shifting the capabilities and value proposition of global manufacturing. In response, manufacturing and operations require a digital renovation: the value chain must be redesigned and retooled and the workforce retrained. Total delivered cost must be analyzed to determine the best places to locate sources of supply, manufacturing and assembly operations around the world. In other words we need a digital transformation.
Johannes Bauer, Director of the Quello Center at Michigan State University, covers various aspects of the digital economy including opportunities and challenges, technological and economic drivers, value creation in the digital economy, harnessing benefits and minimizing risks, and measuring the digital economy.

Webinar: How Penton Uses MongoDB As an Analytics Platform within their Drupal...MongoDB
NorthPoint Digital worked with the Penton and MongoDB teams to deliver a MongoDB based solution, Govalytics, to serve city and county governments. We will review the design decisions made and steps taken to implement and integrate into the existing digital platform.
In the session, we will review:
How Govalytics fits into Penton's entire digital platform?
What were the business drivers for choosing MongoDB (with Product Owner testimony) and why it was so successful?
How NorthPoint Digital implemented a complete, highly interactive UX solution powered by MongoDB as part of an integrated solution and not just as a database
Roadmap for the future – how the solution was designed to be independently scalable
Data Con LA 2020
Description
The power of data increases exponentially when communities form and use consolidated data structures for a common purpose. Collaborative data structures are built linking independent data structures together in a way where each contributor retains control over their data contribution to create a data driven infrastructure. I3 Systems is building a set of tools and support services needed to support collaborative data projects. This session will overview how the next level of data infrastructure will allow new insights to be derived from independent data sources.
*Learn how collaborative data infrastructures must be managed as a network of data structures
*Learn about the importance of data governance, security, and privacy in collaborative environments
*Lean how data collaborative structures can facilitate smart-cities and smart-health care environments
*Learn about how service and support are critical enabling aspects that compliment technical offerings
*Hear about real-world experiences and lessons learned bring collaborative networks to life

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.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.
