W3C Smart Cities Workshop: The W3C held a workshop on standards for Smart Cities June 25, which should be of interest to this group. Background: https://www.w3.org/2021/06/smartcities-workshop/ My presentation was on intelligent user interfaces to smart cities, in Session 2's discussion of cross-cutting issues. My main points were that some, but not all, people interacting with smart cities would benefit from intelligent interfaces. For example, while city employees would have the time and training to master complex interfaces, visitors and most residents would not, so they need a more intelligent interface, such as an IPA. But most visitors probably don't want to learn a different IPA for every city they visit. If visitors could connect their personal IPA's seamlessly to the city's IPA, then they would be able to easily find out information about topics of particular interest to visitors -- public transportation, points of interest, restaurants, hotels, etc., using the interface that they're already familiar with.
