Up-skilling the population of Singapore to become a Smart Nation | Talent Con...LinkedIn Talent Solutions
If you think digitally up-skilling your employees is difficult (which it is), try doing it with an entire country. That’s exactly what Singapore is doing with their Smart Nation initiative. Like many countries, Singapore is grappling with staying ahead of the many digital disruptions happening globally. Smart Nation involves digitally up-skilling talent, combined with Government policy and business initiatives to co-create Singapore’s future and use technology to overcome impending mega-trends such as ageing populations and urban density. Hock Yun Khoong, Chief Digital Evangelist at Info-communications Media Development Authority Singapore will speak to how Singapore is empowering its people and business communities to build greater digital capabilities and continue to develop the essential skillsets to thrive in the global digital economy.
smart Nation initiative was launched by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on 24 November 2014. The aim is to build a “nation where people live meaningful and fulfilled lives, enabled seamlessly by technology, o ering exciting opportunities for all.”1 It is an environment where, in our daily living, networks of sensors and smart devices enable us to live sustainably and comfortably; in our communities, technology will enable more people to connect to one another more easily and intensely; and in our future, we can create possibilities for ourselves beyond what we imagined possible.
How Singapore is Paving the Way for Global Smart CitiesSolace
Singapore is at the leading edge of global smart city initiatives and is a good deal of the way along the path to truly transforming the “city nation” for the benefit of its citizens and the redefinition of its government. Everything is on the table for reinvention in Singapore from smart transportation to smart energy to smart buildings to how its citizens receive smarter healthcare.
But what is a “smart city”? A smart city uses technology to deliver services, uses technology to reduce costs for service providers and uses technology to allow citizens to improve the running of the city. With sensors planted measuring everything from traffic to street lights, Singapore has deep insights into the lessons in IoT deployment and delivery on a truly large scale.
On October 13th, 2016 at the Internet of Things Developer meetup, Sumeet Puri presented a social and technical perspective on the Singapore smart cities initiative from two viewpoints: his role as an architect of several Singapore Smart City projects and as a resident of Singapore living through the transformation of his surroundings. Sumeet will share stories about Singapore’s efforts, and give us insights into the technical decisions needed to make this a reality. Sumeet will talk about architecting for IoT at scale, lessons learned from the Singapore Smart City Initiatives and the response of the public to these changes.

A smart city uses digital technologies to enhance
performance and well-being, to reduce costs and
resource consumption, and to engage more effectively
and actively with its citizens.
Across the UK we are seeing more and more examples of smart city transformation. Key 'smart' sectors utilised by such Cities include transport, energy, health care, water and waste. Against the current background of economic, social, security and technological changes caused by the globalization and the integration process, cities in the UK face the challenge of combining competitiveness and sustainable urban development simultaneously.
A smart city is a place where the traditional networks and services are made more efficient with the use of digital and telecommunication technologies, for the benefit of its inhabitants and businesses. With this vision in mind, the European Union is investing in ICT research and innovation and developing policies to improve the quality of life of citizens and make cities more sustainable in view of Europe's 20-20-20 targets.
The smart city concept goes beyond the use of ICT for better resource use and less emissions. It means smarter urban transport networks, upgraded water supply and waste disposal facilities, and more efficient ways to light and heat buildings.
And it also encompasses a more interactive and responsive city administration, safer and secure public spaces.
Smart Cities UK 2017 Conference, Expo and Awards lead the way on addressing the best practice examples on smart transformation from across Cities within the United Kingdom whilst disseminating guidance and information transformation within waste, energy, transport, security and other key smart sectors.

Sensing-as-a-Service: Prepare for the Next Business Model for Internet of Things
Day 1 - Tuesday, April 21, 2015
9:50 - 10:15 am
Once we are able to categorize the ownership of data on the Cloud, we will be able to offer "Sensing-as-a-service" -- that is, the ability to provide a free or chargeable service to any person who wishes to view or manipulate the data. This presentation discusses the benefits of IOT-as-a-Service, including harnessing the creativity of application developers, participatory sensing, reducing the cost of data acquisition, pay-per-use cloud computing, and more. It is also possible to aggregate different sensor data sources and create many innovative applications such as combining between parking sensor data and public transport data, between environmental data and flood detection data, between river quality data and fertility of soil data.
An IOT service provider will be able to provide such services, thus opening many opportunities to generate new ways of monitoring and managing valuable assets. This seems to be the next wave of Cloud services where "Sensing-as-a-Service" will become the new IOT business model. The presentation will provide a different perspective on how to monetize IOT for business executives, who are interested in utilizing IoT applications to increase efficiency and build new business models.

The European Commission, in a recent communication (April 19th), has identified 5G and Internet of Things (IoT) amongst the ICT standardisation priorities for the Digital Single Market (DSM). This session will discuss the emergence of the mobile edge computing paradigm to reduce the latency for processing near the source large quantities of data and the need of the emerging 5G technology to satisfy the requirements of different verticals. Mobile Edge Clouds have the potential to provide an enormous amount of resources, but it raises several research challenges related to the resilience, security, data portability and usage due to the presence of multiple trusted domains, as well as energy consumption of battery powered devices. Large and centralized clouds have been deployed and have shown how this paradigm can greatly improve performance and flexibility while reducing costs. However, there are many issues requiring solutions that are user and context aware, dynamic, and with the capability to handle heterogeneous demands and systems. This is a challenge triggered by the Internet of Things (IoT) scenario, which strongly requires cloud-based solutions that can be dynamically located and managed, on demand and with self-organization capabilities to serve the purposes of different verticals.

Compressive Oversampling for Robust Data Transmission in Sensor Networks - P...Zainul Charbiwala
http://nesl.ee.ucla.edu/document/edit/324
Data loss in wireless sensing applications is inevitable and while there have been many attempts at coping with this issue, recent developments in the area of Compressive Sensing (CS) provide a new and attractive perspective. Since many physical signals of interest are known to be sparse or compressible, employing CS, not only compresses the data and reduces effective transmission rate, but also improves the robustness of the system to channel erasures. This is possible because reconstruction algorithms for compressively sampled signals are not hampered by the stochastic nature of wireless link disturbances, which has traditionally plagued attempts at proactively handling the effects of these errors. In this paper, we propose that if CS is employed for source compression, then CS can further be exploited as an application layer erasure coding strategy for recovering missing data. We show that CS erasure encoding (CSEC) with random sampling is efficient for handling missing data in erasure channels, paralleling the performance of BCH codes, with the added benefit of graceful degradation of the reconstruction error even when the amount of missing data far exceeds the designed redundancy. Further, since CSEC is equivalent to nominal oversampling in the incoherent measurement basis, it is computationally cheaper than conventional erasure coding. We support our proposal through extensive performance studies.

Smart City Service Models - Ready To Reach Out Conference 2016Kay Hartkopf
I held this speech at the EU presidency conference on the digitisation of cultural heritage in Europe, Amsterdam 2016. A smart city leverages digital technologies and digital content to deliver services to it's constituents. eCulture services and digital cultural content in the Smart City offer a wealth of opportunities to make the city more livable and provide an enhanced experience. Some examples show what this means for different verticals like mobility, retail, tourism. Cultural digital content can easily be attached and linked to these services offering an enriched experience and connecting meaningful cultural content to selected Smart City services. To make this happen and capture the value of the digital opportunities relevant policies have to be put in place.
