Smart cities aim to enhance sustainability, economic development, and quality of life through infrastructure, human capital, social capital, and ICT infrastructure. A smart city is built to serve and sustain human life through better quality of life. Factors driving smart city evolution include cheaper sensors, telecommunication advances, smart devices, internet technologies, and human-machine interfaces. Experts predict the internet will become more embedded in daily life. The future smart city framework in 2050 envisions interactive public transport, ubiquitous services, and on-demand service delivery to build a city with a human touch.
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.

This presentation forecasts how urban planning and technology is shaping our cities through smart city initiatives. Ultimate objective is to make people happy and provide impactful experiences for people living in cities and solving cities challenges. Technology is only an enabler but people come first. These initiatives should be driven by outcomes and what cities want to achieve and become.

A company is like a baby, one leg representing business and the other standing for technology. Moving the first steps as a startup is hard, accelerating to run as a company is even harder: you have to grow up with both legs keeping pace
OpenMove will give its perspective on major challenges faced to bring the company to market its products in 6 countries, dealing with high-profile customers like Ministries of Transport or big telcos… guys you don’t wanna mess with!
On the business side, Lorenzo, CEO, will tell how they have been structuring product- and knowledge-management, business development (and some other super boring stuff), while Michele, CTO, will show the cool things: scalability and high availability of the platform adopting Docker Swarm, optimization by using Meteor.js and MongoDB and evolution towards an ecosystem of microservices.
Europe ‘s Smart budgeting mechanism creates immense opportunities for Smart City companies in the region. Moreover, government funding to entrepreneurs provides huge growth potential.

A General Framework for Communication-Efficient Distributed Optimization: Communication remains the most significant bottleneck in the performance of distributed optimization algorithms for large-scale machine learning. In light of this, we propose a general framework, CoCoA, that uses local computation in a primal-dual setting to dramatically reduce the amount of necessary communication. Our framework enjoys strong convergence guarantees and exhibits state-of-the-art empirical performance in the distributed setting. We demonstrate this performance with extensive experiments in Apache Spark, achieving speedups of up to 50x compared to leading distributed methods on common machine learning objectives.

The Fascinating Story Of The Rise of IoT in smart cities 2023 | CIO Women Mag...CIOWomenMagazine
Since 1950, the number of people living in cities has almost doubled, rising from 751 million in 1950 to 4.2 billion in 2018. It presents several issues in managing densely populated metropolitan regions. Making the Rise of IoT in smart cities is the answer.
According to the McKinsey Global Institute’s extensive study of global cities:
- 80% of global GDP is generated in cities with
- 50% in the 380 major cities of the developed world
- 10% in the largest 220 cities of the developing world.
Some 235 million households earning more than $20,000 will live in the emerging economy cities = growth of a global urban middle class = > high expectations of public services and the quality of the urban infrastructure and environment.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.
