The use of traffic lights to control traffic flow at intersections is a long-standing means to promote traffic safety and efficiency. While traffic lights and intersection-based signs are the predominant means of controlling traffic flow, other systems of intersection-based traffic management have been the subject of some experimentation. US20140278029 illustrates the self-organizing smart traffic control system. The self-organizing smart traffic control system exploits vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication. V2V and V2I communication enables development of the dynamic traffic control plan (DTCP) by the central city traffic planner that can resolve the travel-priority conflict in the potential-conflict zone and optimize the traffic flow.

Whitepaper - How to build a mutil-technology scalable IoT Connectivity Platform?Actility
In this paper, we investigate the challenges facing service providers and enterprises for deploying and monetizing LPWAN solution.
We show in this paper that the traditional M2M approach might not be cost-effective for the needs of LPWAN IoT deployments due to dramatically lower ARPU requirements of IoT compared to traditional M2M. We also examine both cellular IoT (NB-IoT or Cat-NB1, Cat-M1, Cat-1) and LoRaWAN, with the objective to demonstrate the complementary aspects of the two technologies. We show how operators extend existing M2M use cases and swap 2G using cellular IoT, and in addition tap into the new unlicensed IoT market space using LoRaWAN. Interestingly, LoRaWAN is a natural over-the-top play for cellular IoT operators, as cellular IoT is an ideal backhaul technology for unlicensed LPWAN concentrators.
Properly matching a connectivity solution to a use case is a complex multidimensional problem requiring analysis of several factors including battery lifetime, coverage, throughput, latency, total cost of ownership (TCO), amongst other factors. We discuss these factors and attempt to build a technology selection chart, and then build a business case for multi-technology IoT platform that leverages both LoRaWAN and Cellular IoT to serve the needs of all IoT use cases. We also provide insights on the service provider strategy for LPWAN deployment with examples from Tier-1 MNOs such as SK Telecom and Orange.
Finally, we conclude the paper with overview of ThingPark Wireless as a multi-technology platform that addresses the challenges for both LoRaWAN and Cellular IoT deployments.
I have demonstrated IoT and the application used moreover the standardization and Radio sensing Technology used in IOT moreover I have highlighted some topics to be considered when deploying IoT solution.

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.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
