'Digital cities 7 - real world experiences', Brisbane, Australia
30 June 2011 - 30 June 2011
Australia
An event entitled 'Digital cities 7 - real world experiences' will take place on 30 June 2011 in Brisbane, Australia.
Contemporary cityscapes are becoming increasingly saturated with different types of digital computing infrastructure. These tange from personal wireless devices to heterogeneous sensor systems measure and analyse the environment and provide detailed real-time views from air quality to traffic patterns and weather conditions. Even large public displays are being employed for broadcasting public and commercial information and to offer interactive services to the general public.
These technologies are causing fundamental changes in how cities connect with their inhabitants. At the same time, it is making the hidden layers of social, economical and political processes, tensions, and flows transparent and visible in ways that were never possible before.
This event will focus on real world studies of digital cities involving people and authentic urban settings. Such studies are important because real world systems are culturally situated and cannot be reliably assessed with simulations or lab studies detached from the real world context.For further information, please visit: http://www.ubioulu.fi/en/DC7(opens in new window)
