The design of electric vehicles will require the integration of new components in the near future. This transition is a key opportunity for a more radical change that allows for a positive transformation of passenger journey experience, interoperability and integration into the cityscape. The "Design Charter for Innovative Electric Busses" presents a design vision and strategies for the ecosystem of the "bus of tomorrow" that could inspire all sectors of the transportation industry.

Business intelligence on the US greentech marketEC2i
EC2i objective is to support the internationalisation of European Cleantech SMEs in China and the United States by conducting cluster missions and facilitating cross-cluster partnerships. In this sense, attention is paid to developing tools to guide SMEs through the process of forming consortia and developing projects with clients.
Business intelligence for relevant US and Chinese markets have been collected in reports and are here disseminated to SMEs.
The tools presented here address general barrieres to internationalisation as well as more specific problems SMEs face when integrating themselves into complex, international value chains.
Smart City concept overview with many references from around the world through the eyes of an Enterprise Architect and Urban Technologist. It is also an attempt to assess BSI SCF value proposition and success factors for its implementation. The approach draws also on the work done by The Open Group and other standardization bodies supporting Smart City approach.
On 12 and 13 March 2019, Smarter Together gathered for its third General Assembly. This year, Follower city Sofia, Bulgaria hosted the municipalities, industrial and scientific partners of Smarter Together to discuss progress made, milestones and the future of the project in both Lighthouse and Follower cities.

Bordeaux - Operating Urban Data Platforms based on Minimal Interoperability M...Open & Agile Smart Cities
Presentation given by Christophe Colinet, City of Bordeaux at Open & Agile Smart Cities' annual Connected Smart Cities & Communities Conference 2020 on 23 January in Brussels, Belgium.
On 12 and 13 March 2019, Smarter Together gathered for its third General Assembly, an annual meeting that brings together all cities and partners of the smart cities project funded by the Horizon 2020 programme of the European Commission. In 2019, the city of Sofia, Bulgaria hosted the municipalities, industrial and scientific partners of Smarter Together to discuss progress made, milestones and the future of the project in both Lighthouse and Follower cities.
The first day of the General Assembly was primarily reserved for Core Group and Steering Committee meetings followed by an official reception and dinner. The second day featured presentations from each of the Lighthouse and Follower cities that focused on challenges and achievements after three years of implementation of solutions within the Smarter Together project, as well as plans for replication moving forward.

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.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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.

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.
