Rapid urbanization can result in negative externalities like pollution, traffic, and trash. Ed Sheeran sings about externalities occurring in London like honking and traffic. Governments can influence human behavior to minimize externalities through incentives that motivate responsible decisions, such as bonuses for environmentally-friendly choices or scholarships for merit. Sweden addressed traffic problems through incentives that encouraged public transportation use and limited car access in cities.

Environmental Benefits & Challenges of Urbanization
The document discusses the environmental challenges of urbanization, including air, water, and soil pollution caused by increased population density. It proposes solutions like public transportation, parks, affordable housing, community centers, and job creation to address problems of pollution, poor housing, poverty, unemployment, and overburdened public systems. The document emphasizes community involvement and long-term planning to successfully implement solutions.
The Design Assistance Program
This document summarizes citizen engagement efforts in cities and the role of design assistance teams in facilitating community-led change. It notes that over 80% of US cities regularly use public engagement processes and over half of citizens want to be involved in community planning. Design assistance teams provide a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to help communities beyond just plans by engaging citizens, fostering partnerships, and creating action strategies to leverage public and private resources for implementation. Examples of design assistance projects in cities like Detroit, Austin, and post-Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts are briefly described.

Democratizing the RECAST City
Panel organized for the RECAST conference in Santa Fe, marking the 20th anniversary of the public process that created the Santa Fe Railyard Redevelopment. Panelists included: Joel Mills, Cheryl Morgan, Erin Simmons, and Thea Crum. The panel explored issues facing cities today and multiple democratic methodologies (participatory budgeting, democratic urbanism) for city building.
What Designers Do
Designers shape products, services, and experiences through intentional design decisions that can have both intended and unintended social consequences. Design often reflects broader societal forces and consumption patterns rather than just the designer's intentions. Effective design considers how products will be used in real-world contexts and ecosystems, aiming to meet latent needs in novel and compelling ways.
What Happened in Copenhagen
The goal of COP15 was to address the problem of climate change. However, there was no common understanding of the problem or solution. Developed and developing nations disagreed on who was responsible and what needed to be done. The meeting became more about politics than the environment. No leaders committed to emissions reductions that would reverse current trends. As a result, the meeting ended without a significant agreement to tackle climate change.
Democratic Urbanism & The Healthy City
This document discusses the importance of public participation and democratic urbanism for community health and city planning. It provides examples of how inclusive community engagement processes have led to positive placemaking outcomes, such as transforming derelict areas into active public spaces with gardens and cultural assets. Truly collaborative approaches that involve citizens in decision making from the beginning help address issues of apathy and opposition, build social capital, and create places that reflect community values. In contrast, top-down "smart city" projects and an "orgy of public process" can undermine urban democracy and civic empowerment. When cities leverage culture and citizen ideas, remarkable impacts on people and communities are possible.
ie - Essay on Urban Development
The document discusses the city of the future and what factors are needed for it to be feasible and sustainable. It argues that the city of the future must combine sustainable development, proper social and governmental institutions, and technology. Institutions must function properly to achieve economic growth without corruption. Sustainable development requires all citizens to contribute fairly and work towards long-term gains. Technology will be important to measure progress, hold officials accountable, and empower citizens so the vision of a sustainable city can become reality.

This document discusses democratic approaches to urban planning and city building. It highlights the importance of public participation and inclusive governance. Some key points made include:
- Cities are changing rapidly and require smart, long-range planning and new forms of devolved governance that give more power to local governments and involve civil society.
- Trickle-down approaches to urban development will not work; planning needs to be participatory and involve city residents.
- Examples of participatory projects, like the High Line in New York City, show how collaboration between the public and private sectors can transform places.
- Design assistance teams provide a model for bringing together multidisciplinary experts to work intensively with communities on planning processes.
Designing for Social Impact
This document outlines principles for conducting research when designing for social impact. It discusses the importance of putting participants first, working with local crews, staying local, inverting power relationships, and closing distances through empathic activities and conducive moments. The goal is to achieve a deeper understanding of people's lives and perspectives in order to design solutions that are effective and beneficial.

The document discusses local government and the roles of councils and councillors. It explains that a local council is made up of councillors elected from each ward to represent local people and make decisions. Councillors can be part of different political parties or be independent. They are responsible for local services and get funding from central government, business rates, and council tax. The national government also has influence over local policies and decisions.

This document discusses the role of NGOs in international governance and decision making processes. It notes that in 1972, 250 NGOs attended the UN Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm, helping to develop rules for NGO participation and engaging in parallel forums. This marked the beginning of increasing NGO involvement in global conferences related to the environment and sustainable development. By 1992, over 1,400 NGOs were accredited to the Rio Earth Summit and over 25,000 individuals participated in a parallel NGO forum. The document outlines how NGO participation has continued growing, with over 3,200 organizations accredited to the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg.
Air Quality & Communications
This document discusses communications strategies to improve air quality. It suggests that communications can: 1) inform urban design decisions and achieve behavior change among polluters; 2) increase health professionals' awareness; and 3) alert people to peak pollution times/areas and underpin new programs. Key barriers include invisible pollutants, public perceptions that others are responsible, and behavior change challenges. Other factors to consider are a city's brand, framing justice issues, private sector roles, and empowering public agency. The document analyzes audiences like local authorities and at-risk communities to design iconic actions and creative campaigns that move people through stages like awareness to action.

SeattleEquityAgenda
The document summarizes community feedback received by Seattle's Equity & Environment Initiative on environmental justice issues in Seattle. Key findings include that communities of color disproportionately live near hazardous sites and industrial polluters. They experience higher pollution and related health issues while having limited access to open space and healthy foods. The feedback will inform Seattle's new Equity & Environment Agenda to ensure environmental policies and programs benefit everyone equitably.
Cultural Futures
This presentation was developed for a guest lecture at QUT in April 2009 for a subject about cultural futures. It asks the question, 'how are we to live?' and considers urban innovation and creativity. However, it does not really attempt to answer that question.
Unbundling Governance
The document discusses how governance can be "unbundled" by distributing government functions through technology and citizen participation. It provides examples from Bowen Island, Canada where citizen initiatives like a crowdsourced road conditions map emerged during a snowstorm, bypassing traditional government processes. The author argues that crises, political will, and "constructive renegades" can drive this unbundling. Governments may take on more of a facilitator role by integrating citizen input and data. For unbundling to work, citizens need to create tools, relate institutional data, and embrace responsibility while governments embrace openness.
WKAR Candidate Survey: Jackson Mayor
The document is a survey of candidates running for mayor of Jackson, Michigan in the August 2021 primary election. It includes their responses to questions about priorities if elected, budget cuts, and policing reforms. For priorities, candidates listed addressing public safety, infrastructure like roads and water lines, reducing crime, and neighborhood improvement. If forced to cut the budget, candidates said they would protect infrastructure, city services, and public safety like police and fire. On policing reforms, some supported oversight committees while others did not support defunding the police.

For the full video of this presentation, please visit: https://www.edge-ai-vision.com/2024/06/temporal-event-neural-networks-a-more-efficient-alternative-to-the-transformer-a-presentation-from-brainchip/
Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.How to Interpret Trends in the Kalyan Rajdhani Mix Chart.pdf

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAU
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.Energy Efficient Video Encoding for Cloud and Edge Computing Instances

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
