Standards – building blocks of the Smart City - Michael MulquinIPPAI
Standards are important building blocks for smart cities that can help at various levels. Benefits of smart city standards include enabling integration between different city systems, underpinning common understanding, helping to obtain funding and prevent vendor lock-in, and enabling scale. Many international standards organizations are working on smart city standards, including ISO, IEC, ITU, JTC1, CEN, and CENELEC. Their work includes areas like cybersecurity, resilience, and risk assessment. Key lessons are that India has much to learn from these efforts but also contribute through the Bureau of Indian Standards.
From Smart Grid to Smart Cities - Richard SchombergIPPAI
Richard Schomberg discusses how smart cities use embedded sensors and a shared digital infrastructure across various systems like power, water, and transportation. This allows for the collection and analysis of data to improve operations in areas like traffic congestion prediction and crime reduction. However, smart cities also require long-term energy planning during their design to optimize renewable energy use, energy efficiency, and electric vehicle integration in a sustainable way. System modeling and simulation can help discover solutions and optimize goals like costs, emissions, and livability when planning new urban developments and infrastructure. Ultimately, smart city design should have an integrated systems approach and prioritize understanding human needs.
The document discusses innovation in the Internet of Things (IoT) based on findings from a thematic research day. Key points include:
1) Delivering activities like emptying bins, watering crops, and manufacturing products more efficiently and consuming fewer resources like power, light, and water through IoT.
2) New business models are emerging like renting assets instead of owning them, crowd-sourced ownership, and services funded by advertising or data trading.
3) There is a greater demand for data security, brokerage, and standards like HyperCAT.

Addressing the challenge of energy efficiency through ICTFiras Obeido
The document discusses how information and communication technologies (ICT) can help address energy efficiency challenges. It outlines how ICT can standardize, monitor, account for, rethink, and transform energy management. Specifically, ICT allows for real-time monitoring of energy consumption across sectors, improved accountability, and innovations that capture new efficiency opportunities. When energy data is accessible to executives, it enables better decision-making around sustainability goals.
SECO looks at how to manage the energy demands of the many elements when you have many sources, including the grid, but also local wind turbines, solar panels, geo-thermal as well as a local generator and possible energy storage. SECO optimises this many-to-many problem to ensure demand is met and that the cost of energy is minimised.
In recent years, the European Commission and EU countries have set up numerous large-scale pilot projects to contribute to the digitisation of the energy industry across Europe and beyond.
The most important goals of this endeavour are reaching a common energy data space to facilitate infrastructure planning and monitoring, empowering citizens by providing them with tools for participation in energy markets, supporting research and development of digital solutions, improving cybersecurity of the energy sector, and supporting the adoption of climate-neutral solutions for the ICT sector.

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:

This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features
available on those devices, but many of the features provide convenience and capability but sacrifice security. This best practices guide outlines steps the users can take to better protect personal devices and information.
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.

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).

The problem
• Smart cities of the future will depend on their neighborhoods
to monitor and efficiently manage the smart grids.
• The infrastructure of the districts will be highly
heterogeneous: management systems of public lighting,
public buildings, traffic lights, electric vehicles, micro-
generators, etc.
• Integration with business systems will be done in an
inflexible way

Thematic session 3: Developing business models
• Main risks are always connected to the lack of a mature open
energy data.
• Most of the EMSs involved in the project are already
accessible to the end-user (municipalities), however, there
are some data coming from external stakeholders (DSOs,
ESCOs, facility managers, etc.).

Thematic session 3: Developing business models
• New business models to increase project impact by means of
other stakeholders data:
o Business model 1 “Mandatory deployment”:
Compulsory publication of data from the rest of stakeholders
(DSOs, ESCOs, facility management, etc.) in exchange for
they access to OESP information.
o Business model 2 “Incentives from the municipality”:
Stakeholders incentivized (discount in municipal taxes) to
publish their data in exchange for they access to OESP.
o Business model 3 “Incentives from the rest of end-
users”: Stakeholders incentivized from the rest of the
stakeholders (reduction electricity bill, electric vehicles
information, etc.) to publish their data in exchange for they
access to OESP.
