Working title: Best practices of ICT adaptation - 5G networks; Big Data; and IoT (PICASSO)

Digitisation, and its scalability, offers a lot of opportunities for less densely populated areas to innovate where that was previously not feasible from technical and/or economic perspective. In the USA, for instance, the Smart and Connected Communities movement applies advanced technologies to improve the lives and livelihoods of the residents in a region. While some challenges are shared with urban cities, others are unique to more rural communities.

Digital 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 the community’s operations and services and connect to citizens. Digital community technology allows local officials to interact directly with both community and local infrastructure and to monitor what is happening in the community, and how the community is evolving. In all communities, there is an increasing amount of sensors collecting data and sometimes summoning help, controlling signals and valves and the brightness of street lights, managing waste pickup, and sometimes directing public safety efforts.

One perspective is how new technology development such as 5G networks, big data, and IoT affect the abilities for use of digital technologies and services in local communities. And important is to consider how this interrelates with aspects of privacy & data protection; ICT security, ICT standards and use of spectrum. Intention of this session is to kick off a debate how we can benefit better from these developments, learning from the results of the EU sponsored PICASSO project (www.picasso-project.eu).
