Smart cities utilize digital technologies and data to improve city operations and services for residents. A smart city requires measuring various city data through sensors and IoT devices. This data helps optimize areas like transportation, infrastructure, and public services. However, collecting and sharing large amounts of citizen data also raises privacy and security issues. Creating an open yet secure city data platform that many stakeholders can access presents technological and coordination challenges. Overall, smart cities aim to enhance life for residents through data-driven improvements, but achieving this vision requires addressing numerous technical, social, and governance complexities.

Singapore - Future of surveillance and transparency?Speck&Tech
Speaker: DERRICK DE KERCKHOVE
It is clear that Seoul and Singapore have taken the international lead in turning genuinely smart. This entails knowing everything possible about not just the city but also its inhabitants. The effect is to make people transparent and to hold them accountable for eventual misdeed or misbehaviour. I intend to show how this is done in Singapore. To be fair, the city administration is also keen to be transparent. The people seem to be happy in general with this situation.
So the question is: forced by rising worldwide insecurity, will cities such as Paris or Rome, or any other human agglomeration not feel obliged to follow Singapore’s example simply to protect its citizens? What would be the consequences on social behaviour and the people’s welfare? I do not pretend to answer this question myself but to invite a debate either then and there with the audience, or invite the conference planners to set one up.

These days, in our industry, two words have the highest exposure rate. One is 5G, and the other is a smart city.
The Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, these new concepts have emerged one after another, promoting the entire society to accelerate toward informatization, digitization, and intelligence.
Big bosses from all walks of life are keeping a close eye on technological trends, hoping to take the lead in introducing technology, improving production efficiency, and realizing digital transformation.
As a result, various hotspot terms have emerged one after another, such as 5G smart factory, 5G smart park, 5G smart agriculture, 5G smart shopping malls, and so on.
The smart city originated in the media field, which refers to the use of various information technologies or innovative concepts to open up and integrate the city's systems and services to improve the efficiency of resource utilization, optimize city management and services, and improve the quality of life of citizens.
Paper containing my final project for Technicity course. It consists of an analisys about what are the general conditions to take into account when setting up a framework for an Intelligent City project. These general conditions form the meta-framework.

AI nel diritto penale, dalle indagini alla redazione delle sentenzeSpeck&Tech
ABSTRACT: In questa talk parlerò dell'utilizzo dell'AI sia come strumento per facilitare la commissione di reati (ad esempio attraverso l'utilizzo di social engineering nella commissione di frodi bancarie), che come strumento investigativo all'interno del procedimento penale (ad esempio attraverso l'utilizzo di sistemi di sorveglianza speciali), che come supporto ai giudici nella determinazione della pena e nella stesura delle sentenze. Infine tratterò delle possibili discriminazioni che l'utilizzo acritico di sistemi di AI può determinare nell'amministrazione della giustizia, distinguendo tra discriminazioni matematico/statistiche e sociali (come succede anche nella valutazione del credit score nella richiesta di mutui).

What should 6G be? - 6G: bridging gaps, connecting futuresSpeck&Tech
ABSTRACT: The transformative influence of Internet and Communication Technology (ICT) has reshaped society, touching every aspect from the economy to healthcare. As the widespread deployment of 5G continues, there is an ongoing focus on the inception of the sixth generation (6G) of wireless communication systems (WCSs). Anticipated to shape the future of connectivity in the 2030s, 6G aims to deliver unparalleled communication services to meet the demands of hyper-connectivity.
While densely populated urban areas have traditionally been the primary beneficiaries of WCS advancements, the vision for 6G transcends city limits. Aligned with the United Nations' sustainability goals for 2030, an important aspect of 6G endeavors to democratize the benefits of ICT, fostering global connectivity sustainably. This talk delves into this particular envisioned landscape of 6G, providing insights into the future of wireless communication and guiding research efforts toward sustainable, inclusive, and high-speed connectivity solutions for the future.
Central to this discussion are two emerging technologies: Free Space Optics (FSO) and Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN). These innovative solutions hold the promise of extending high-speed connectivity beyond urban hubs to underserved regions, fostering digital inclusivity, and contributing to the development of remote areas.
Through this exploration, we aim to convey the potential of 6G and its role in shaping a connected, sustainable future for all.

Creare il sangue artificiale: "buon sangue non mente"Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: La necessità di sangue ed emoderivati è costantemente elevata negli ospedali di tutto il mondo. Per questo motivo, negli anni, la creazione di "sangue artificiale" ha rappresentato una sfida che molti ricercatori hanno intrapreso. La sintesi in laboratorio di globuli rossi, partendo da cellule ematopoietiche totipotenti per sostituire le convenzionali "trasfusioni", è stata ad oggi sperimentata ma è ancora distante dal divenire pratica clinica. Tuttavia, altre componenti del sangue sono ad oggi utilizzate a scopi sostitutivi, mentre altre ancora sono state sintetizzate in laboratorio e vengono utilizzate per scopi terapeutici. Questa talk ci porterà alla scoperta di quali sono gli avanzamenti in questo campo.

ABSTRACT: Ever since OpenAI released ChatGPT, LLMs have been applied to the most diverse domains, from education to medicine. However, what they basically do is to look for patterns in huge amounts of text and use those patterns to guess what the next word in a string is. Having no access to the real world, LLMs are therefore great at mimicry but show important limitations when employed for critical tasks, which may affect human well-being, social justice, and access to digital services. This talk will discuss all the above issues, highlighting the risks but also the huge potential of LLMs.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

3. What a City is
3
Cities are defined as a cluster of contiguous grid cells of 1 km² with a population density of at least 1 500 inhabitants per km².
a functional urban area: which consists of a city and its commuting zone; the latter is defined in relation to commuting
patterns, on the basis of those municipalities with at least 15 % of their employed residents working in a city (see Map 2);
a greater city: in some cases, the urban centre stretches far beyond the administrative boundaries and so to better capture the
entire centre, a ‘greater city’ has been defined (generally applicable only to capital cities and other relatively large cities);
a city: the most basic level, a local administrative unit (LAU), defined by its urban centre that has a minimum population of
50 thousand inhabitants, consisting of a cluster of contiguous grid cells of 1 km² with a population density of at least 1 500
inhabitants per km²;
subcity districts: a subdivision of the city according to population criteria (generally between a minimum of 5 thousand and a
maximum of 40 thousand inhabitants); they should be defined for all capital cities and for non-capital cities with more than
250 thousand inhabitants.

4. What a Smart City is
For policy purposes, the EU defines a smart city as ‘a place where
traditional networks and services are made more efficient with the
use of digital and telecommunication technologies, for the benefit
of its inhabitants and businesses’.
Smart cities are innovative, making traditional networks and
services more efficient through the use of digital technologies,
creating more inclusive, sustainable and connected cities for the
benefit of inhabitants, public administrations and businesses.
Smart cities have the potential to improve the quality of life, while
ensuring the needs of present and future generations with respect
to economic, social and environmental challenges.
The concept of smart cities covers a broad range of areas such as:
the economy, the environment, mobility, or governance.

Take Newton’s second law of motion – force is
proportional to mass times acceleration as F12
~ M 1 M 2 / (d 2)12 – and apply to Cities.
What is the Mass of the City? its population!
What we get? The GRAVITATION MODEL
Tij = k Pi Pj / (cij)2
Where k is a gravitational costant
Cij is a measure of costs for traveling from i to j

14. The impact of technologies on the City:
The Freedom Bridge example
14
Every day in Venice almost 200 K people are in
the city, even if only less than 60Kof Venice live in
here
It is more than 140K transits: it is not only tourists,
it is commuters: students and workers.
A lot of people have left the city for the mainland.
And the city has lost not only citizens, but also a
part of its identity.
How this happened ? Because of a Bridge!!!
The Liberty Bridge has introduced a «Semiotic
breakdown»: instead of bringing in modernization,
it has brought to the «simbolization» of Venice
(i.e., it is a postcard)
http://www.linkiesta.it/blogs/cultura-rete-il-blog-di-venezia-2019-salone-
europeo-della-cultura/l-alba-di-una-nuova-venezia-
Ponte della Libertà, i.e., the Freedom Bridge
Wikipedia: Ponte della Libertà is a road bridge connecting the historical center of the city of Venice to
the mainland.
Designed in 1932 by engineer Eugenio Miozzi, and opened by Benito Mussolini in 1933 as Ponte
Littorio, the bridge is the only access for road vehicles to the historical center. It is built alongside the
Venice Railroad Bridge, which was constructed in 1846 by Austrian, with two tracks each way, and is
still in use.
15. The Quest For Data

about Cities ?

18. On Open Data
It’s a first step … but we need other data to really
«measure» a city
A Measurable City is made out of thousands of
information coming from Databases, or generated
in Real-Time typically by Sensors that provide
millions of data per second
Data may be:
– Events
– Continuous flows of simple data
– Update to existing data bases
– …

22. Need for data – Counting people
without infringing Privacy in Venice
22
The Future Centre in Venice worked at the
monitoring in quasi real-time on the pedestrian
flows in the city center. The goal was to measure
the pedestrian traffic and keeping the anonymity
and privacy of users. The project has been using
low-cost sensors and devices (50-100 euros)
with a small size (two cigarette packs) in order to
acquire video flows of passing-by people and to
process it locally without any leak or privacy
violation. These devices will provide their Id, the
time and the number of people that have been
detected Ideally these objects could be
scattered in many places of the city and freely
transit their data (e.g., through twitter). In such a
way, interested developers could crate new
applications based on these data..

28. The Open Factory
– Immagine a Chemical
plant close to a city
– Who are the people more
keen to check the
security of the plant?
Citizen
– Why don’t open up some
VALUES to people ?
Data is power!
And nobody wants to share power
28
29. Social Sensor: but users didn’t
want to share!
29
People have more and more the possibility to monitor important parameters of their home or of the
surrounding environment. Taking as an example the web site http://bwired.nl/, each user could have a
number of sensors monitoring and measuring parameters related to the functioning of the home or its
surroundings (e.g., the local outside temperature, the humidity, or even some parameters related to
pollution, noise and others).
The service is intended for collecting the wealth of user generated data, to anonymize them, and to
elaborate them for benefits of an entire community or for describing its own behavior (e.g., to calculate
a medium or average value for some parameters and allow each citizen to compare his own set of
parameters with the “average set of values” - for instance those that describe virtuous citizen
behavior with respect to a proper power consumption footprint). The availability of these data could
ignite a sort of game towards particularly good behaviors (power consumption is a good example).
Another possible usage is related to the integration of user generated data in such a way to compare
data and parameter directly collected by citizen versus official data provided by the public
administration. One important case could be the one of control of local pollution vs. the official data
monitored in particular area of big cities (http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=air-
pollution-monitoring-sensor-asthma-black-carbon).
30. (Social) Cooperation is very
important
A fundamental aspect of all adaptive systems is cooperation.
Natural selection favors cooperation, if the benefit of the altruistic act, b,
divided by the cost, c, exceeds the average number of neighbors, k, which
means b/c > k.
It is necessary enforcing altruistic behaviors in IoT networks (social
aspects on it)

39. Tag the City
39
The service allows a person or a service provider to tag places. Tagging
here means a virtual placemarker that describes a particular feature of a
place and pinpoint to a description available in the WWW. Tags can be
public (i.e., available to all) or private. Private tags are visible to a closed
user group and sometimes they can be viewed only if the user is paying
for a service or a single tag. Tags can be organized in such a way to
define a trail in the city. The preferred device category for dealing with
placemarkers are smartphones.
40. See What I See
40
An Object (being a person, a car, a truck
or other mobile objects) is moving in a
specific (e.g., an insecure area, a touristic
city, or others). The “See what I see
service” allows the object to be monitored
by means of the cooperation of available
objects along its route. Objects enforcing
some level of tracking could be simple
objects (e.g., proximity objects, RFID tags
or sensors that just record that the object
has just passed by) or more complex ones
(such as cameras that can record the
object passing by or even be able to
accompany that object for a short period –
movable cameras).
If the route is known in advance, objects
could be ready for the object passing by
without the need to guess where the object
is moving next. However for particularly
casual routes, a more dynamic allocation
of resources could be provided based on
prediction of possible movements and pre-
allocation of resources.
