DESCRIPTION:We will review the digital progress relevant to two significan
 t areas of investment affecting the University. Firstly the broad topic of
  Future Cities is emerging into a major research theme and secondly the UK
  Government is investing heavily in our local region to support transporta
 tion improvements. The Computer Laboratory has an important contribution t
 o make to the 'digital layer' of the global Future Cities research and ove
 rseeing the implementation of a digital platform for the local region that
  will be fit-for-purpose for our research. This informal talk (and discuss
 ion) will consider the real-time communication and processing requirements
  of a Future City extending from the raw real-time low-power long-range se
 nsor data collection requirement to the opportunities for pattern recognit
 ion and machine learning such that the city can adapt to predicted issues.
