Smart City Initiatives from ITAC Brainstorming 11/28/18 Executive Smart City initiatives from ITAC brainstorming 11/28/18 Executive Summary It is no news that the pace of technological change is accelerating across all areas creating both social adoption challenges and opportunities for new and improved individual and community benefits. The Smart City concept is a trend that looks at how communities integrate information and communication technology (ICT) and various physical devices connected to the network (the Internet of Things or IoT) to optimize the efficiency of city operations and services and engage with citizens. The Innovation and Technology Advisory Committee of Foster City has been recently looking into how Foster City can adopt and prioritize Smart City initiatives to accelerate progress towards achieving the Strategic Goals set by the Foster City Council for the city. This report describes the work that has been performed by the ITAC team, the analysis and approached that was followed and recommendations to the Foster City Council for next steps in the Smart City Initiative. The ITAC team, working with IT staff from the city, looked at what technology projects other cities and communities worldwide have been launching in support of their strategic priorities. Using the Strategic Goal framework set by the FC City Council, the team brainstormed on opportunities specific to Foster City that had an impact on one or more strategic goals, turning these opportunities into potential projects and initiatives. Each of these projects was then measured in terms of three key factors: Benefits to the community, Time to Implementation and Investment Cost. These measurements are rough estimates that would require more detailed analysis but they provided a framework for comparing and prioritizing the projects. Based on this analysis, the ITAC team would like to propose three key initiatives for consideration for further work and investment to the City Council. The three key initiative are: • Airplane noise sensors • Solar powered cell phone chargers • Smart Street Lights: Solar Powered and Sensor Based … to be finished … 1 Smart City initiatives from ITAC brainstorming 11/28/18 Summary of ideas with Rankings Ranking framework Time to deploy first pilot: S - less than 6 months M - 6 months to a year L – more than a year Value to the City L – Low or marginal benefit to some part of the community M – Measurable benefit to the community H – Substantial benefit to most of the residents Cost to Implement L – Low cost to FC, could be handled within existing budget M – Medium cost, would require budget changes by the City Council H – High investment, affecting city budget for future years Project Table Focus Area Project Time to Value to Cost to Deploy First the City Implement Pilot (L/M/H) (L/M/H) (S/M/L) Citizen Public Safety Video Central M M-H L-M Engagement and Moderated City Chat Room M-L H H Communications through Public FC Smart Public Assistant App M-L H H Services Infrastructure 5G Networks and Small Cell S-M H L Partnership with SMCLabs S M-H L Smart Street Lights: Solar S M L Powered and Sensor Based Automation to Automated Irrigation Control M M M Increase Areal (drone) based GIS M-L M-H L-M Operating mapping and monitoring Efficiency Education & Technology webinar/podcast for S M-H L Resident Reach seniors to Improve City “Innovation zone” for kids S M-H L-M Life Open participation initiatives M M-H L 2 Smart City initiatives from ITAC brainstorming 11/28/18 Enhance Airplane noise sensors S-M H L-M Sustainability Air quality sensors S-M M L-M and Quality of Life through Solar powered cell phone S-M M-H L-M Sensors and chargers solar power.

Summary: Foster City has about 34,000 residents and is expected to grow as new residential building projects are completed and later occupied. Many residents are tech savvy and communicate about local elections, thefts, bad behavior and a variety of city issues on Nextdoor and other platforms. It is time for the city to explore a variety of appropriate communications tools. A smart virtual assistant available to the community could be helpful in locating city services and venues, for example, the post office or the city staff member to whom to report their observations in Foster City from a clogged street drain to a stray animal. • Have central location to post videos of crime or bad behavior in the city, such as Ring doorbell videos or dashcam footage • Have something other than Nextdoor. Something moderated with residency verification • FC “Alexa”-type Smart public assistant Projects 1. Public Safety Video Central Have central location to post videos of crime or bad behavior in the city, such as Ring doorbell video or dashcam footage. Foster City web site to post pre-screened photos and video clips. Benefit: medium to high Cost: low to medium, depending on whether paid staff or volunteers do most of the work. There is also potential liability associated with passing judgment on what constitutes good and bad behavior. (Case in point: Do my non-Christian neighbors have the right to post a video clip of me hanging a Christmas wreath in the building lobby or on my deck and call this bad behavior?) Examples: (bad behavior) https://patch.com/california/fostercity/foster-city-theft-suspects-lead- police-chase-across-bridge-grocery-store (good behavior) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiaKXtb_YNZq2NgYoJ-0-hQ 2. Moderated City Chat Room Have a platform for citizen communication exchanges other than Nextdoor. Something moderated with residency verification. This could be a centralized blog to discuss all 5 Smart City initiatives from ITAC brainstorming 11/28/18 issues relevant to Foster City from local politics to the levy improvement, waste water treatment plant to the master plan for parks and new recreation center, traffic, air plane noise, etc. Benefit: High, if the Nextdoor replacement tool is properly moderated. Cost: High, depending whether FC can recruit enough qualified volunteers to moderate the new platform. Note: It may be possible to modify settings in Nextdoor in Foster City to make sure a real person owns the account and resides at the stated address. Perhaps invite NextDoor to demonstrate full capabilities to ITAC. Examples of alternate mobile apps: Meetup, Nearify, City Socializer, Social Radar, Kickstarter, WeGoDo, Foursquare City Guide. 3. FC Smart Public Assistant App This app would allow residents and interested parties to easily access public city data including parks and physical locations. From a variety of devices, including a home computer or smart phone, a resident could easily get answers to a variety of questions: “What are the crime statistics for my neighborhood?” Do past offenders reside within three blocks of xxx address?” “How does elementary school A compare to school B?” “Which FC parks have bocci ball courts?” “Does FC offer Qi Gong classes and if so where and at what time?” Benefit: High Cost: High: FC web site will need a major upgrade to answer questions as posed above. Ongoing maintenance is anticipated. Examples: Use Google assistant on mobile devices to access the FC website/ portal. Ideally, in addition to Google Assistant, someone could also use Apple Siri, Microsoft Cortana and perhaps Amazon Alexa. This would mean supporting android, ios and windows systems. 6 Smart City initiatives from ITAC brainstorming 11/28/18 Smart City Initiative: Infrastructure (*** Ramiya) Initiative Motivation: Find ways to address infrastructure initiatives with a view towards minimizing cost while optimizing and accelerating return to investment Summary: A smart city aims to improve the quality of life for its citizens by harnessing technology to connect infrastructures, resources, and services. An essential criterion of any smart city is a reliable network that allows real-time and secure transfer of the mission-critical data. In the home, every powered device – light switch, bulb, doorbell, battery, central heating control, door or lock device – will have an IP address and therefore be controllable. In the smart city environment, that list of connected devices expands to include every aspect of living and working in the city and being able to manage that environment to make it safer, cheaper and more convenient for its citizens, all of which will require high-bandwidth, low latency, reliable, secure, wireless networks. Projects 4. 5G Networks and Small Cell Small cells are a critical piece of the wireless network plan, both for the existing 4G LTE network today and the 5G network of tomorrow. They are wireless transmitters and receivers designed to provide network coverage to smaller areas. This technology is also integral to laying the groundwork for the upcoming 5G network. With 5G data transfer rates will be 30 to 50 times faster than 4G and sub-millisecond latencies. Benefits: High Small cell strengthens coverage, data transfer speed and has shown to improve the battery life of the consumer handset. Cost: Low Wireless carriers will cover the infrastructure costs. Concerns & Recommendations: Every wireless company is trying to expand/build their small cell infrastructure. There are risk around aesthetics where every city light will look different and pavements will be dug multiple times by various providers. We recommend that we should have a standards for design and implement a “Dig Once Policy”.

I examine how song and dance – sites of aesthetic difference within the musical – can warp time and enable marginalized and semi-marginalized fans to imagine different ways of being in the world. Musical numbers can complicate a linear, developmental plot by accelerating and decelerating time, foregrounding repetition and circularity, bringing the past to life and projecting into the future, and physicalizing dreams in a narratively open present. These excesses have the potential to contest naturalized constructions of historical, progressive time, as well as concordant constructions of gender, sexual, and racial identities. While the musical has historically been a rich source of identification for the stereotypical white gay male show queen, this project validates a broad and flexible range of non-normative readings.

This systematic review focuses on the evolving research area of Social Opinion Mining, tasked with the identification of multiple opinion dimensions, such as subjectivity, sentiment polarity, emotion, affect, sarcasm and irony, from user-generated content represented across multiple social media platforms and in various media formats, like text, image, video and audio. Through Social Opinion Mining, natural language can be understood in terms of the different opinion dimensions, as expressed by humans. This contributes towards the evolution of Artificial Intelligence which in turn helps the advancement of several real-world use cases, such as customer service and decision making. A thorough systematic review was carried out on Social Opinion Mining research which totals 485 published studies and spans a period of twelve years between 2007 and 2018. The in-depth analysis focuses on the social media platforms, techniques, social datasets, language, modality, tools and technologies, and other aspects derived. Social Opinion Mining can be utilised in many application areas, ranging from marketing, advertising and sales for product/service management, and in multiple domains and industries, such as politics, technology, finance, healthcare, sports and government. The latest developments in Social Opinion Mining beyond 2018 are also presented together with future research directions, with the aim of leaving a wider academic and societal impact in several real-world applications.

  • Meetup Culture at Wpi ______
    ____________________________________________________________________________ MEETUP CULTURE AT WPI ______________________________________________________________________________ An Interactive Qualifying Project submitted to the faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Submitted on: May 31, 2018 Submitted by: Amanda Ezeobiejesi Quyen Dinh Thuc Hoang Hung Phu Gia Hong Advised by: Professor Lane T. Harrison This report represents the work of WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review. ABSTRACT This project quantifies student-centered benefits of attending special interest meetings called “meetups”, and identifies barriers that impact student attendance to meetups, in order to provide recommendations for improving extracurricular education at WPI. Our objective is to ensure that WPI students understand the benefits of attending meetups in the greater Boston area that relate to their academic interests and professional development. The results of 322 student survey responses and multiple interviews suggest that WPI students are generally unaware of meetups and the benefits of attending them, but that the small percentage of students who have attended meetups report significant improvements to their educational experience and career prospects. i | P a g e ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Our team would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the following individuals for their support and encouragement throughout the duration of this project: Our project advisor, Professor Lane Harrison, who supported our team throughout the entire duration of the project. His enthusiasm, kind attention, and diligent guidance increased our passion for the project and allowed the IQP to be as impactful as possible.

  • Privacy Leakage in Event-Based Social Networks: a Meetup Case Study 2
    1 Privacy Leakage in Event-based Social Networks: A Meetup Case Study 2 TAEJOONG CHUNG*, Northeastern University JINYOUNG HAN, Hanyang University DEAJIN CHOI, Seoul National University TED “TAEKYOUNG” KWON, Seoul National University 3 JONG-YOUN RHA, Seoul National University HYUNCHUL KIM, Sangmyung University Event-based social networks (EBSNs) are increasingly popular since they provide platforms on 35 which online and offline activities are combined. Despite the increasing interest in EBSNs, little research has paid attention to the privacy issues coming from the unique features of EBSNs; the 4 on-site information of users is highly relevant to real lives. In this paper, we try to investigate privacy leakages in Meetup, one of the most popular EBSN service. More specifically, we answer what private information can be inferred from the site’s publicly available data. To this end, we conduct a measurement study by crawling webpages from Meetup containing 240K groups, 8.9M users, 27M group affiliations and 78M topical interests. By analyzing the dataset, we find that LGBT status of users, which is one of the most sensitive privacy information, can be predicted with 93% accuracy. Finally we discuss the cause of the privacy leakage on EBSNs and its possible 35 ensuing damages.
