Various cities around the world are taking that connectivity to the next level. They’re addressing some long-standing development issues by examining the potential of smart cities. In fact, estimates are that more than $41 trillion will be invested in the Internet of Things (IoT) tools and platforms to modernize cities around the world.
Smart cities are at the forefront of the next wave of the Internet of Things. The goals are to streamline communication and improve the lives of citizens. And save a little money along the way.

Dubai South in all practical economic scales is the largest economic development in Dubai after JAFZA and Dubai Airport.
Making Dubai South Smart Aerotropolis (Smart Airport City) is a challenging task for technologists while it should be driven by economic objectives and business driven. I'm here putting some thoughts on how to do that. I was one of founding team of Dubai South and got a compassion for its development and how it will transform Dubai to its next economic development stage.
Smart city can be understood as a city IT project. But City IT is quite different from office IT. This slide explains difference between City and Office IT and shows ways to build a smart city successfully based on experiences from Korea and Seoul in particular.
The public sector, comprising various levels of
ministries and agencies, is involved in modernising
and transforming their existing business structure
and service delivery. The need to invest and develop
infrastructures, including unifi ed communications,
embedded systems and network enablement tools,
is growing and becoming more important than ever.
As a result of this sudden technological movement
and initiative, the public sector is scrambling to plan
and execute them to ensure the highest level of
citizen satisfaction.

Smart cities are driving economic competitiveness, environmental sustainability and livability. To make a city resourceful is to make it more efficient, more attractive, and more eco-friendly, all while making a real improvement to Citizens quality of life. While financing options are not evolving quite as fast as technology, they are evolving nonetheless. Lean how to fund and finance your smart city project.
The Australian Smart Communities Association and the Australian Government have partnered to deliver a series of Future Ready webinars to kick-start communities’ digital transformation journeys.
Future Ready is a smart cities incubator series that sits alongside the Smart Cities and Suburbs Program. It uses collaboration, connection and co-learning to grow smart city capability. We’ll explore smart city case studies from global leaders, share the tips and the tricks of digital success, investigate new business models, and talk citizen-centric design.
This series will bring together local government, industry, research organisations and innovators from across Australia, encouraging knowledge sharing, new partnerships and active learning. Each webinar will be recorded and made available in a series of videos on this page.
'Thanks for running the Future Ready webinar today. Sergio’s presentation was ‘on point’, and I look forward to applying some of the frameworks and processes discussed in the Alice Springs context.' - Isabelle Collins, Policy Officer, Regional Network Group, Department of the Chief Minister, Northern Territory Government of Australia
REDI is a public-private partnership engaging stakeholders in a collaborative effort to create jobs. It focuses on Silicon Valley’s most promising economic opportunities. REDI is led by the San Jose Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce in cooperation with the City of San Jose, Santa Clara County and supported by the regional business community.
On-going transformation is required to improve service delivery, deliver tangible savings and provide more secure solutions that enable collaboration within and between departments which is critical to ensure sharing of ideas, solutions and less duplication across services.

Adjusting OpenMP PageRank : SHORT REPORT / NOTESSubhajit Sahu
For massive graphs that fit in RAM, but not in GPU memory, it is possible to take
advantage of a shared memory system with multiple CPUs, each with multiple cores, to
accelerate pagerank computation. If the NUMA architecture of the system is properly taken
into account with good vertex partitioning, the speedup can be significant. To take steps in
this direction, experiments are conducted to implement pagerank in OpenMP using two
different approaches, uniform and hybrid. The uniform approach runs all primitives required
for pagerank in OpenMP mode (with multiple threads). On the other hand, the hybrid
approach runs certain primitives in sequential mode (i.e., sumAt, multiply).

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.

6. RECOMMENDATION 1
Smart Sydney – strategy
The NSW government should produce a Smart
Sydney Strategy to complement the suite of strategic
documents that plans and delivers infrastructure and
services in the city. The document should be co-
designed by the Greater Sydney commission and the
Department of Finance Services and Innovation.
7. RECOMMENDATION 2
Smart City Commissioner - accountability
A new position of the Smart City commissioner should be
created and be the representative of the Department of
Finance and Services on the Greater Sydney commission.
The Commissioner should work with the GSC to identify
and prioritise challenges suited to smart city style
solutions and broker funding agreements across
government. The position holder should work closely
with the customer service commissioner and the privacy
commissioner.
8. RECOMMENDATION 3
Office of City Performance – capability
A new office of city performance should be created
to monitor and manage improvements in key city
metrics. The office should support the Smart City
Commissioner and be tasked with driving innovation,
improving efficiency and increasing value for the
millions of people who interact in our cities every
day.
9. RECOMMENDATION 4
Government backed Smart City accelerator –
capability
The Smart City Commissioner together with private
sector, community sector and government
stakeholders, should operate a Smart City
accelerator that dissolves the barriers to innovation
across all three sectors to improve the investment
environment for firms and attractiveness for talent.
10. RECOMMENDATION 5
Smart City impact bonds – investment
The Office of City Performance in conjunction with
NSW Treasury should pilot Smart City Impact Bonds,
a financial instrument that offers commercial returns
for economic or financial dividends that can’t
currently be monetised by the market.
