The document discusses how Stockholm, Sweden implemented a road usage charging system to reduce traffic congestion in the city center. Key points:
- Traffic jams were a major problem with over 450,000 vehicles entering the city center daily.
- The system uses automatic license plate recognition and RFID technologies at 18 entry points to identify vehicles and charge fees ranging from 10-20 SEK daily maximum of 60 SEK.
- Early results showed a 20-25% reduction in city center traffic and significant reduction in economic costs from reduced congestion.

P1 Plenary session:
Which technologies will pave the way to automated vehicles? Which industry sector is expected to take a leading role?
Smart Cities are emerging everywhere, each city is trying to become the first smart city in the world. A smart city is one of the many concepts of cities of tomorrow, you have other concept such as green cities or cities as a service. A smart city is a data driven city where a wide array of smart and connected infrastructure delivers sustainable and prosperous future for its citizens.
The concept of Smart City revolves around the concept of Smart mobility. “Smart mobility” can be defined as a way to move people and goods using new technology that is faster, cleaner, protected, secure, connected, intelligent, more accessible and less expensive than traditional options. Smart mobility revolves around the Electric Vehicle and is about striving toward frictionless, automated and personalized mobility.
Scientific and Economic Observers expect that electric vehicle will represent 35% of all new vehicles sales by 2022 and that it will represent 41 millions of sales per year by 2040. This evolution won’t be without consequences: A predictable outcome would be an increase in both the number and the size of Electric car batteries. However, the principal components of these batteries are projected to disappear.
To be able to have the brilliant utopian future described earlier, this problem needs to be solved.

Under JST RISTEX S3FIRE program, we are trying to implement Smart Access Vehicle (SAV) Service in Hakodate. The project adopts the method of service science loop - the repeated cycle of observation, design and implementation. In this paper we report the completion of its first cycle, and discuss how the cycle improved our initial design. We first conducted person trip research in Hakodate. We chose 20 candidates of various age and occupation, and recorded their everyday movements for four months. We then analyzed the result and made a person trip model. The model was then fed into our multi-agent simulator for Hakodate public transportation system. We conducted a small field test with five vehicles for one week. The most significant achievement is that we confirmed that our design of SAV system works. We succeeded in automatically dispatching five vehicles for eleven hours without any significant trouble or human supervision.

The project was taken as a part of consulting exercise in alliance with Elidea. My role was to address the current challenge at Xeeva with an integrated solution and propose a mutually beneficent business model to ensure long term engagement of Elidea with Xeeva.
I was able to weave a solution which featured
- One Snap Deployment
- Global standard compliance
- Process & Workflow agnostic
- Continuous Updates
- Robust Security
- Scalability on the Cloud
***Challenge:
Xeeva would do product releases in sprints of every 2 months. The "Product" and "Training & Development" teams were disconnected with no common platform in place except JIRA. JIRA with its enormous capabilities was still being underutilized with just being a Bug Tracking and Product backlog prioritization tool.
The whole process of documenting features, creation of user guides and process of updating features & changes to the product suite was manual and exhaustive. This was not limited and also included scheduling Customer trainings, on the Product suite and training for new releases were scheduled, manual and resource intensive.
***Challenge Accepted:
Elidea decided to transform this process of disseminating training and sharing knowledge. I already had worked in Xeeva and I knew about the gaps inside various teams. Elidea and I decided work on the core problem. We were able to come up with a blended solution utilizing open source components which were cost effective, scalable and much more secure with respect to other alternatives.
The solution aimed to deal with the problem from the core by sharing Knowledge among teams via "Knowledge Base" which formed the crux of the "Collaborative Learning Environment - CLE". "Knowledge Base" was integrated with "Learning Management System" (LMS).
The CLE allows the "Product Team" & "Training and Development" Team (and other teams as well) to be connected via common platform and share validated knowledge. This knowledge is then used as assets and feeded into LMS where customers can automate their learnings and the process becomes less resource exhaustive.
***About Xeeva:
Xeeva is driving the development and delivery of the next generation of intelligent procurement and financial solutions. Xeeva’s technology is used in over 40 countries and is available in 18 languages. The company’s end to end technology suite includes Sourcing, Procure to Pay, Supplier Collaboration, Financial Collaboration and Extended Enterprise solutions. You can learn more about Xeeva’s singular focus on driving immediate and sustainable results for its customers by visiting www.xeeva.com
***About Elidea:

Smart infrastructure for autonomous vehicles Jeffrey Funk
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to analyze how autonomous vehicles are becoming economic feasible. They are becoming economically feasible because the cost of lasers, ICs, MEMS, and other electronic components are falling at 25 to 40% per year. If the cost of autonomous vehicles fall 25% a year, the cost of the electronics associated with autonomous vehicles will fall 90% in 10 years. Dedicating roads to autonomous vehicles is necessary to achieve the most benefits from autonomous vehicles. While using autonomous vehicles in combination with conventional vehicles can free drivers for other activities, dedicating roads to autonomous vehicles can dramatically reduce congestion, increase speeds, and thus increase the number of cars per area of the road. They can also reduce accidents, insurance, and the number of traffic police. These slide discuss the use of wireless technologies for the control and coordination of autonomous vehicles. Improvements in bandwidth, speed, and latency (delays) along with improvements in computer processing are occurring and these improvements are making dedicated roads for autonomous vehicles economically feasible.
Transport for London: Using data to keep London movingWSO2
This talk was presented by Sriskandarajah Suhothayan (WSO2) and Roland Major (Transport for London) at the Strata Data Conference in London, May 23 2017.
Transport for London (TfL) uses a wide range of data for operational purposes, but the underlying data is typically held in multiple disconnected systems. Freedom of Information requests have helped prove the value of sharing this data. TfL is embarking on a journey to make more of this data open and available in real time.
TfL and WSO2 have been working together on broader integration projects. Roland Major and Sriskandarajah Suhothayan share the evolving big data and IoT architectures and services TfL is building to pull together these diverse datasets to better support operational teams and accelerate the identification and classification of disruption to improve response times for incidents. In particular, they explore WSO2’s solution, which emerged from the Data in Motion hackathon organized by TfL, AWS, and Geovation. The solution innovates TfL’s heterogeneous data sources through the combination of the TfL Unified API and its operational data sources, including traffic sensor, air quality, and passenger flow data, to provide better travel time and transit suggestions for Londoners and tourists using the WSO2 Data Analytics Server, WSO2 Complex Event Processor, and WSO2 API Manager, bringing together IoT and big data techniques to feed a real-time dashboard of current and predicted transport network status.
Mówi się, że „the next big thing” leży gdzieś pomiędzy wearable tech a upowszechnieniem koncepcji Internetu rzeczy. A połączenie tych 2 nurtów ma stanowić kolejny przełom technologiczny, gdzie zostanie zatarta granica między człowiekiem a technologią. Już teraz do naszego życia pukają inteligentne okulary, zegarki, opaski. Telefony monitorują naszą aktywność na każdym kroku. Jak przygotować swój biznes lub karierę do tej rzekomej rewolucji? Gdzie szukać wzorców i inspiracji? Czy pisarze sci-fi mieli rację, ostrzegając, że im więcej w nas maszyny, tym mniej człowieka.
Czy samochód może być wearable? Czym tak naprawdę będzie Automotive-Human-Machine-Interface? Kiedy rozszerzona rzeczywistość zastąpi człowieka? Czy autonomiczne samochody połączą się w grid i jakie to ma konsekwencje? Jak rozwijać się będą systemy nawigacji kolejnej generacji? Prezentacja pokaże najnowsze trendy w branży Automotive i projekty realizowane w REC-Global.

Prezentacji pokaże jak API podnosi wartość usługi, która je udostępnia a często jest niezbędne do jego istnienia, zwłaszcza w e-commerce. Zobaczymy też jak można wykorzystać API do rozwijania i tworzenia własnych produktów. Przemek udowodni że API nie jest takie straszne jak je malują :)
Nazwa domeny internetowej, będąca nazwą firmy lub produktu, ma kluczowe znaczenie w e-biznesie. Od strony technicznej łatwo ją zarejestrować, jednak wiele wysiłku należy włożyć aby ją odzyskać lub obronić się przed jej przejęciem. Nie można zapomnieć także o tym, że nazwa domeny funkcjonuje obok innych form zabezpieczenia nazw, współtworząc szerszy system prawnej ochrony. Rafał opowie o procedurach w zakresie sporów domenowych oraz o innych formach prawnych zabezpieczenia nazwy firmy i produktu w e-biznesie.
Budowanie wzrostu liczby użytkowników jest niezwykle ważne, jednak bardzo często bywa tak, że im wyżej się wejdzie, z tym większej wysokości się spadnie. Szybki przyrost użytkowników bez przemyślanych działań mających na celu zachęcenie ich do powrotu do aplikacji – często są to działania podjęte już na etapie jej tworzenia – może skończyć się bolesną klęską.

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).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

What all of this means is that the digital and physical infrastructures of the world are converging. Computational power is being put into things we wouldn't recognize as computers. Indeed, almost anything—any person, any object, any process or any service, for any organization, large or small—can become digitally aware and networked. With so much technology and networking abundantly available at such low cost: What wouldn't you put smart technology into? What service wouldn't you provide a customer, citizen, student or patient? What wouldn't you connect? What information wouldn't you mine for insight? A smarter planet is possible because - Our world is becoming instrumented Our world is becoming interconnected . Virtually all things, processes, and ways of working are becoming intelligent . Let me explain each to you in a bit more detail… (NEXT SLIDE)
Mówiąc krótko, nasz świat staje się mądrzejszy . Nie jest to tylko metafora. Mówimy tutaj o inteligentnym sposobie działania — systemy i procesy, które umożliwiają opracowywanie, produkowanie, kupno i sprzedaż produktów… świadczenie usług… przepływ wszystkiego, począwszy od ludzi i pieniędzy po ropę, wodę i elektrony… pracę i życie miliardów ludzi. Świat staje się mądrzejszy, dlatego że: MOŻE MUSI I dlatego, że LUDZIE TEGO POTRZEBUJĄ.

Globalization-driven economic growth and growing car ownership are but two factors that have increased the degree of gridlock in many of the world’s densest economic hubs. While hard to quantify, the costs–in lost productivity, clean air and quality of life–are real and can be enormous. In today’s just-in-time economy, for instance, more traffic means slower, delayed and more costly deliveries, with impacts that spread across the economy. Emergency vehicles tied up in urban traffic can mean the difference between life and death. By most measures, Stockholm would receive high grades for its progressive transportation policies, evidenced by a public transport network that serves 70 percent of commuters going to or from the inner city during the rush period. Nevertheless, with the roads running through the city’s 24-square-kilometer central business district handling an average of 450,000 vehicles per day, major traffic jams were a regular fact of life. The Stockholm City Council, with the assistance of the Swedish Road Administration (SRA), resolved to do what they could to alleviate it. The politicians believed that road usage is elastic and thus could be shaped in a way that keeps congestion within a targeted range. But to shape road usage patterns, road authorities needed a way to track and charge for road usage accurately – a solution with reliable performance during even the heaviest traffic flow. Taking a cue from other major cities facing similar issues, the City Council identified “road charging”–specifically, charging drivers in the city center a road usage fee during business hours–as an attractive and viable option. The system needed to be designed and deployed within a very tight time frame, and it had to meet the city’s demanding requirements right from the start. How and where did they start? The Swedish Road Administration chose IBM because of its successful implementation of complex systems in other industries, as well as contributions to road charging projects in Singapore, Canada and the United Kingdom. IBM Global Business Services was engaged to design, build and operate a fully automated road use charging solution that employs advanced optical recognition and radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies. Once fully deployed, Stockholm’s road charging system will be a model of speed, power and automation. At a high level, the system’s function is to sense, identify and process each car that crosses an invisible ring that delineates the city’s central business district. Each time a vehicle crosses the boundary–either entering or leaving the district–it automatically triggers either of two sensing mechanisms. If the vehicle is equipped with an onboard RFID transponder (issued by the SRA), it sends a radio signal that is detected by a roadside gateway that records the vehicle’s passage and automatically sends the information to the central processing system using IBM WebSphere MQ and WebSphere Message Broker for message transport and routing, respectively. For cars that are not equipped with an RFID transponder, a vehicle’s passage is detected by a laser, triggering gateway-mounted cameras to photograph the vehicle’s front and back license plates. The image is automatically sent over a fiber optic connection to the system’s centralized processing facility, where a vehicle number plate recognition application digitizes it and crosschecks it against vehicle registration data. Once the vehicle’s owner is identified by the system, it then calculates the road usage fee based on the time of day. The fee is then sent as a transaction to the system’s core, SAP-based processing platform, which updates and stores the owner’s account information as an IBM DB2 Universal Database record. What benefits do they expect to achieve? Pilot showed 20 to 25 percent reduction in overall traffic volume in the city center Significant reduction in economic costs associated with traffic congestion Generation of an estimated €50 Million per year that can be channeled into further reducing congestion–making the initiative virtually self-sustaining Improved climate for commercial transport and logistics Improved air quality Improved response time for emergency vehicles Usage level : Win/Ongoing project/Completed project: External Completed Industry : Government
Take this slide out.
The world is at a critical inflection point. The meltdown of our financial markets has jolted us awake to the realities and dangers of highly complex global systems – but it was just the latest of several such jolts: on global climate change, on the environmental and geopolitical issues surrounding energy, on global supply chains for food and medicine, and on security following 9/11. Each of these was a collective realization of the reality of global integration. We know we are all now connected – economically, technically and socially. But being connected is not sufficient. We also have to infuse intelligence into our systems and ways of working. The world has become flatter and smaller. Now it must become smarter. The importance of this moment is that the key precondition for real change now exists: People want it. But this moment will not last forever. Today, from the boardroom to the water cooler, people everywhere are ready, eager for a new way of doing things. That’s why a period of discontinuity is, for those with courage and vision, a period of opportunity. The world will continue to become smaller, flatter… and smarter. We are moving into the age of the globally integrated and intelligent economy, society and planet. The question is, what will you do with that? Over the next couple of years, there will be winners, and there will be losers. And though it may not be easy to see now, I believe we will see new leaders emerge who win not by surviving the storm, but by changing the game – by making their systems smarter. IBM can help you get there.
