SUMMARY:A Digital Architecture for Adaptive Cities  - Dr Ian Lewis\, Unive
 rsity of Cambridge
DTSTART:20171025T150000Z
DTEND:20171025T160000Z
UID:TALK83321@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Ingrid Cizaite
DESCRIPTION:The talk will explore the necessary capabilities of the digita
 l infrastructure that will emerge during the evolution of Future Cities. I
 ncluded will be a discussion of large-scale sensor deployments\, data coll
 ection methods\, storage capabilities and also real-time analysis. A signi
 ficant premise is that City (or Region)  should be expected to adapt based
  on the information being collected\, and that adaptation should be based 
 on a prediction of what is going to happen rather than passive analysis of
  the current state. It has become feasible to deploy thousands of urban se
 nsors (e.g. air quality\, waste\, vehicles\, vermin) where previously a re
 alistic deployment would be a dozen or two. Examples will be provided of t
 he ongoing projects in our local region.\n\nDr. Ian Lewis is Director of I
 nfrastructure Investment at the University of Cambridge\, based in the Dep
 artment of Computer Science and Technology.  He represents the University 
 in the development of digital infrastructure in the region and the Dept of
  Computer Science in Future Cities programmes. For the past three years Ia
 n has overseen the implementation of a sensor network and data collection 
 platform forming a real-time research laboratory on a regional scale while
  providing the region with advanced public digital infrastructure capabili
 ties. Prior to this role\, Ian was Head of the University Computing Servic
 e\, following a technology career on Wall Street and a PhD in Artificial I
 ntelligence in the Dept of Computer Science.
