The document describes the development of open data initiatives in Rotterdam, Netherlands. It began as a collaboration between local government and education to understand citizen needs and inform service design. This led to the creation of an open data store containing public sector information. Over time, the initiative expanded to include business and further integration with education through student projects using the public data. The goal is to increase support for open data internally and continue engaging students to help advance open data in Rotterdam.

Building and Scaling the Internet of Things with MongoDB at Vivint MongoDB
Nicholas Brown, Director of Software Architecture, Vivint
Four years ago Vivint set out to mainstream the Smart Home industry with a new purpose-built platform. Within a year, this platform would need to be ready for the integration of millions of devices. Performance was a must. But, perhaps even more importantly, it would need to offer unprecedented extensibility to meet the needs of a nascent industry with little tolerance for rigidity, still being defined even four years later. MongoDB would provide the backbone of this ground-breaking IoT Platform. Today, we will explore the challenges Vivint faced in design and scale, and what we learned (the hard way) about building an IoT platform. https://www.mongodb.com/
An online training course run by the FIWARE Foundation in conjunction with the i4Trust project. The core part of this virtual training camp (21-24 June 2021) covered all the necessary skills to develop smart solutions powered by FIWARE. It introduces the basis of Digital Twin programming using linked data concepts - JSON-LD and NGSI-LD and combines these with common smart data models for the sharing and augmentation of context data.
In addition, it covers the supplementary FIWARE technologies used to implement the common functions typically required when architecting a complete smart solution: Identity and Access Management (IAM) functions to secure access to digital twin data and functions enabling the interface with IoT and 3rd systems, or the connection with different tools for processing and monitoring current and historical big data.
This 12-hour online training course can be used to obtain a good understanding of FIWARE and NGSI Interfaces and form the basis of studying for the FIWARE expert certification.
Extending this core part, the virtual training camp adds introductory and deep-dive sessions on how FIWARE and iSHARE technologies, brought together under the umbrella of the i4Trust initiative, can be combined to provide the means for the creation of data spaces in which multiple organizations can exchange digital twin data in a trusted and efficient manner, collaborating in the creation of innovative services based on data sharing. In addition, SMEs and Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs) that go through this complete training and are located in countries eligible under Horizon 2020 will be equipped with the necessary know-how to apply to the recently launched i4Trust Open Call.

Participatory Data Gathering for Public Sector Reuse: Lessons Learned from T...Peter Conradie
Local governments are increasingly looking for new ways to involve citizens in policy and decision-making, for example by combining public sector data sources with data gathered by citizens. Several examples exist of data gathering where personal mobile devices act as data collectors. While these efforts illustrate the technical capability of data sourcing, they neglect the value of local knowledge where people use their senses to capture and interpret data. Traditional data gathering initiatives, however, exploit this local knowledge to inform policy makers, e.g., neighborhood policing. To understand data gather-ing processes of these traditional data gathering initiatives, three cases are ex-amined. We analyze these cases, focusing on the various elements they contain, concluding how digital data gathering can be informed by these traditional vari-ants, concerning what the benefits of using digital means can be for data gather-ing and how traditional initiatives ensure data re-use by the public sector.

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).

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!

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.

What are the potential issues, complications, and benefits that these technologies could bring to us and our organizations? In this session, Jen Stirrup will explain how to start thinking about these technologies as an organisation.
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).
