2.3 OSi Data models
• GeoData models represent material reality but that is
mediated by people and their knowledge

2.3 OSi Data models
GeoData Models – echo the past, reflect each other and are built
on earlier models and new features in the world

3. Key lessons
• 3.1 Open Data as a institutional practices is not mapped
across institutions and practices, esp. the smart city

3.2 Homelessness Intake Systems
• Counting needs to be integrated into larger political and
economic processes, smart cities do not see these kinds
of administrative data

3.3 OSi Data Model
• The change over between old and new technologies
have social and material effects

4. Conclusion
Data and Technology are social, technical and political
artifacts, than are more than the unique arrangement of
objective and politically neutral facts & things
that do not exist independently of ideas, techniques,
technologies, systems, people and contexts regardless of
them being presented in that way.

We live in a technological society that is data driven,
and to be responsible technological citizens we need to
know about socio-technological assemblages so that we
may act as agents to better mobilize data and
technologies when warranted in an ethical, accountable
and transparent way to govern cities as a fair, viable and
liveable commons and balance economic development,
social progress and environmental responsibility
for all of us.

Cottbus Brandenburg University of Technology Lecture series on Smart RegionsCritically Assembling Data, Processes & Things: Toward and Open Smart CityJune 5, 2018 This lecture will critically focus on smart cities from a data based socio-technological assemblage approach. It is a theoretical and methodological framework that allows for an empirical examination of how smart cities are socially and technically constructed, and to study them as discursive regimes and as a large technological infrastructural systems. The lecture will refer to the research outcomes of the ERC funded Programmable City Project led by Rob Kitchin at Maynooth University and will feature examples of empirical research conducted in Dublin and other Irish cities. In addition, the lecture will discuss the research outcomes of the Canadian Open Smart Cities project funded by the Government of Canada GeoConnections Program. Examples will be drawn from five case studies namely about the cities of Edmonton, Guelph, Ottawa and Montreal, and the Ontario Smart Grid as well as number of international best practices. The recent Infrastructure Canada Canadian Smart City Challenge and the controversial Sidewalk Lab Waterfront Toronto project will also be discussed. It will be argued that no two smart cities are alike although the technological solutionist and networked urbanist approaches dominate and it is suggested that these kind of smart cities may not live up to the promise of being better places to live. In this lecture, the ideals of an Open Smart City are offered instead and in this kind of city residents, civil society, academics, and the private sector collaborate with public officials to mobilize data and technologies when warranted in an ethical, accountable and transparent way in order to govern the city as a fair, viable and livable commons that balances economic development, social progress and environmental responsibility. Although an Open Smart City does not yet exist, it will be argued that it is possible.

Note: Interactivity and animation are lost when the slides are converted to PDF. Abstract: In a technological society such as Canada, it is suggested that a specialized kind of expert citizenship is needed (Andrew Feenberg). In the era of big data, others suggest that there is a need to learn how to read algorithms and to study its high priests and alchemists (Genevieve Bell). While, doing citizenship requires a political ethics of technology to thwart technological and quantitative fundamentalism (Darin Barney). Finally, in the midst of a data revolution we need to critically re-conceptualize data (Rob Kitchin). Quite simply, in today's Canada doing citizenship requires data literacy, technical, philosophical and political. Access to print media - books, government documents, academic journals - in libraries and archives enabled a literate society, the prerequisite of a democratic system. I argue that good governance in knowledge producing institutions, is to have technological experts, both data creators and preservers, working to store, manage, disseminate and preserve data so that we have the requisite artifacts to increase our literacy and build upon collected knowledge. Data literacy I suggest, is indispensable in the current democratic system, and that requires having access to data, data infrastructures - knowledge and technology - and dedicated skilled people and resources to sustainably care for them. I consider research data management to be our duty.

Tracey P. Lauriault (Programmable City team) A genealogy of open data assemblages Abstract: Evidence informed decision making, participatory public policy, government transparency and accountability, sustainable development, and data driven journalism were the initial drivers of making public data accessible. The access work of geomaticians, researchers, librarians, community developers and journalists has recently been recast as open data that includes a different set of actors. As open data matures as a practice, its principles, definitions and guidelines have been transformed into national performance indicators such as indexes, barometers, ratings and score cards; the private sector such as Gartner, McKinsey, and Deloitte are touting open data's innovation and business opportunities; while smart city initiatives offer tools and expertise to help government sense, monitor, measure and evaluate their cities. Open data today seems to have evolved far from its original ideals, even with civil society players such as Markets for Good, Sunlight Foundation, Open Knowledge Foundation, Code for America, and many others advocating for more social approaches. This talk proposes an assemblage approach to understanding open data and provides a genealogy of its development in different contexts and places. Bio: Tracey P. Lauriault is a Programmable City Project Postdoctoral Researcher focussing on How are digital data generated and processed about cities and their citizens? She arrives from Canada where she was a researcher with the Geomatics and Cartographic Research Centre, at Carleton University, where she investigated Data, Infrastructures and Geographical Imaginations, spatial data infrastructures, open data and the preservation of and access to research and geomatics data; legal and policy issues associated with geospatial, administrative and civil society data; and cybercartography. She is a a member of the international Research Data Alliance Legal (RDA) Interoperability Working Group, the Natural Resources Canada Roundtable on Geomatics Legal and Policy Interest Group. She is also actively engaged in public policy research as it pertains to open data and their related infrastructures.

From Aspiration to Reality: Open Smart Cities

Communication and Media Studies, Carleton University

From Aspiration to Reality: Open Smart Cities Open smart cities might become a reality for Canada. Globally there are a number of initiatives, programs, and practices that are open smart city like which means that it is possible to have an open, responsive and engaged city that is both socio-technologically enabled, but also one where there is receptivity to and a willingness to grow a critically informed type of technological citizenship (Feenberg). For an open smart city to exist, public officials, the private sector, scholars, civil society and residents and citizens require a definition and a guide to start the exercise of imagining what an open smart city might look like. There is much critical scholarship about the smart city and there are many counter smart city narratives, but there are few depictions of what engagement, participatory design and technological leadership might be. The few examples that do exist are project based and few are systemic. An open smart city definition and guide was therefore created by a group of stakeholders in such a way that it can be used as the basis for the design of an open smart city from the ground up, or to help actors shape or steer the course of emerging or ongoing data and networked urbanist forms (Kitchin) of smart cities to lead them towards being open, engaged and receptive to technological citizenship. This talk will discuss some of the successes resulting from this Open Smart Cities work, which might also be called a form or engaged scholarship. For example the language for the call for tender of the Infrastructure Canada Smart City Challenge was modified to include as a requisite that engagement and openness be part of the submissions from communities. Also, those involved with the guide have been writing policy articles that critique either AI or the smart city while also offering examples of what is possible. These articles are being read by proponents of Sidewalk Labs in Toronto. Also, the global Open Data Conference held in Argentina in September of 2018 hosted a full workshop on Open Smart Cities and finally Open North is working toward developing key performance indicators to assess those shortlisted by Infrastructure Canada and to help those communities develop an Open Smart Cities submission. The objective of the talk is to demonstrate that it is actually possible to shift public policy on large infrastructure projects, at least, in the short term.

Rewak, S.J. Professor of Philosophy, Santa Clara University 1. What do we mean when we talk about ‘ethics’? Ethics in the broadest sense refers to the concern that humans have always had for figuring out how best to live. The philosopher Socrates is quoted as saying in 399 B.C. that “the most important thing is not life, but the good life.”2 We would all like to avoid a bad life, one that is shameful and sad, fundamentally lacking in worthy achievements, unredeemed by love, kindness, beauty, friendship, courage, honor, joy, or grace. Yet what is the best way to obtain the opposite of this – a life that is not only acceptable, but even excellent and worthy of admiration? How do we identify a good life, one worth choosing from among all the different ways of living that lay open to us? This is the question that the study of ethics attempts to answer. Today, the study of ethics can be found in many different places. As an academic field of study, it belongs primarily to the discipline of philosophy, where it is studied either on a theoretical level (‘what is the best theory of the good life?’) or on a practical, applied level as will be our focus (‘how should we act in this or that situation, based upon our best theories of ethics?’). In community life, ethics is pursued through diverse cultural, religious, or regional/local ideals and practices, through which particular groups give their members guidance about how best to live. This political aspect of ethics introduces questions about power, justice, and responsibility. On a personal level, ethics can be found in an individual’s moral reflection and continual strivings to become a better person. In work life, ethics is often formulated in formal codes or standards to which all members of a profession are held, such as those of medical or legal ethics. Professional ethics is also taught in dedicated courses, such as business ethics. ...

Data and Technological Citizenship: Principled Public Interest Governing

Communication and Media Studies, Carleton University

Canada is a data and technological society. There is no sector that is uninformed by data or unmediated by code, algorithms, software and infrastructure. Consider the Internet of Things (IoT), smart cities, and precision agriculture; or smart fisheries, forestry, and energy and of course governing. In a data based and technological society, leadership is the responsibility of all citizens, a parent, teacher, scholar, administrator, public servant, nurse and doctor, mayor and councillor, fisher, builder, business person, industrialist, MP, MLA, PM, and so on. In other words leadership is distributed and requires people power. This form of citizenship, according to Andrew Feenberg, Canada Research Chair in Philosophy of Technology, requires agency, knowledge and the capacity to act or power. In this GovMaker Keynote I will introduce the concept of technological citizenship, I will discuss what principled public interest governing might look like, and how we might go about critically applying philosophy in our daily practice. In terms of practice I will discuss innovative policy and regulation such as the right to repair movement, EU legislation such as the right to explanation, data subjects and the right to access and also data sovereignty from a globalization and an indigenous perspective.

How evaluations change with open data

alinepennisi

The paper aims at exploring the consequences of the gradually increasing availability of Open Data for evaluation as we know it. Using concepts from the literature on evaluation and democracy, it contends that new technologies both require a new behavior by evaluators and open up possibilities in the very framework in which evaluation is done. The pressure to open up data changes the way governments and public sector offices conceptualize, produce, and disseminate data. Responding to this demand requires that internal procedures change in fundamental, still partially unexplored ways. Issues arise also for citizens seeking information. They face a rapid growth of internet-based sources, which both creates opportunities for research and difficulties in assessing data quality, credibility, and usability. It also implies that public interventions--be they programmes, projects, or services--are open to public scrutiny of a new, more informed type. It increasingly involves expert, non-expert, and differently-expert scrutiny. It is highly unlikely that Open Data will ever provide all--or even most--information needed for an evaluation. There is a risk that, in addition to opening up new research avenues and framing new evaluation questions by new actors, the availability of great masses of data on public policies obscures the need to directly observe effects and to build credible theories about phenomena. The very existence of open data, and the possibilities they open up to public scrutiny call into question the role of internal and external evaluators. This is even more so when thinking of the opportunities opened by the ability to conjure collective intelligence in evaluation processes--using concepts already developed in the participation tradition. The paper explores these themes based on an on-going research project. The two authors are involved in the Open Data movement in Italy and will advance their research during the next months through their work, research on existing literature, and holding workshops (e.g. within the Sapienza Seminar on Classic Evaluation Theorists). 10th EES Biennial Conference

COMS5225 Critical Data Studies

Communication and Media Studies, Carleton University

Week 13 (Apr. 8) – Assemblages, Genealogies and Dynamic Nominalism Course description: The emphasis is to learn to envision data genealogically, as a social and technical assemblages, as infrastructure and reframe them beyond technological conceptions. During the term we will explore data, facts and truth; the power of data both big and small; governmentality and biopolitics; risk, probability and the taming of chance; algorithmic culture, dynamic nominalism, categorization and ontologies; the translation of people, space and social phenomena into and by data and software and the role of data in the production of knowledge. This class format is a graduate MA seminar and a collaborative workshop. We will work with Ottawa Police Services and critically examine the socio-technological data assemblage of that institution. This includes a fieldtrip to the Elgin street station; a tour of the 911 Communication Centre and we will meet with data experts.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object Calisthenics

Dorra 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!

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing

Aftab Hussain

Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process. In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds. - These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

SOFTTECHHUB

The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf

Paige 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:

3. 1.1 Socio-technological Assemblage (Kitchin 2014) Material Platform (infrastructure – hardware) Code Platform (operating system) Code/algorithms (software) Data(base) Interface Reception/Operation (user/usage) Systems of thought Forms of knowledge Finance Political economies Governmentalities legalities Organisations and institutions Subjectivities & communities Marketplace System/process performs a task Context frames the system/task Digital socio-technical assemblage HCI, Remediation studies Software studies New media studies Game studies Critical Social Science Science Technology Studies Platform studies Places Practices Flowline/Lifecycle Surveillance Studies Critical data studies Critical code studies AI/Machine Learning

4. 1.2 Modified Dynamic Nominalism (Hacking)

5. 1.3 Genealogies (Foucault)

6. 2. Key findings 2.1 Data cultures and technologies shape open data practices

7. 2.2 Political Economy of Homelessness Ottawa, Canada Homeless Individuals & Families Information System (HIFIS) Dublin, Republic of Ireland Pathway Accommodation and Support System (PASS) Boston, US, Homelessness Management Information Systems (HMIS)

8. 2.3 OSi Data models • GeoData models represent material reality but that is mediated by people and their knowledge

9. 2.3 OSi Data models GeoData Models – echo the past, reflect each other and are built on earlier models and new features in the world

10. 3. Key lessons • 3.1 Open Data as a institutional practices is not mapped across institutions and practices, esp. the smart city

11. 3.2 Homelessness Intake Systems • Counting needs to be integrated into larger political and economic processes, smart cities do not see these kinds of administrative data

12. 3.3 OSi Data Model • The change over between old and new technologies have social and material effects

13. 4. Conclusion Data and Technology are social, technical and political artifacts, than are more than the unique arrangement of objective and politically neutral facts & things that do not exist independently of ideas, techniques, technologies, systems, people and contexts regardless of them being presented in that way.

14. We live in a technological society that is data driven, and to be responsible technological citizens we need to know about socio-technological assemblages so that we may act as agents to better mobilize data and technologies when warranted in an ethical, accountable and transparent way to govern cities as a fair, viable and liveable commons and balance economic development, social progress and environmental responsibility for all of us.
