Project develops semantic low-code programming tools for edge intelligence w/ 16 industrial and academic partners in #automotive #factory #health #HorizonEU #H2020
On the W3C blog: @wai's Shawn Henry shared her thoughts on her April trip: "Educational and Cultural Exchange on Digital Accessibility — Highlights from Hong Kong"
A focus of the program was improving the user experience of people with disabilities, along with meeting W3C accessibility standards and international regulations. We look forward to future opportunities to share and gather information in the Asia Pacific region and throughout the world.
Day 1 of the @AIOTI_EU workshop on Semantic Interoperability for #DigitalTwins is in full swing at @inria Sophia Antipolis 🇫🇷! Organized by ERCIM and with support from SmartEdge and Nephele projects, it is laying the groundwork for the next generation of information systems.

Semantic Interoperability is the ability of computer systems to exchange data with a shared, unambiguous meaning. This is relevant to SmartEdge regarding the use of controlled vocabularies, taxonomies, and #ontologies in information modeling for the project's use cases.
📣 #HiPEAC25 workshop: STEADINESS
Call for presentations!
▶️ http://smart-edge.eu/2024/10/08/call-for-presentations-steadiness-workshop-hipeac25
⏳ Deadline: 31 October
This workshop seeks theoretical as well as practical contributions in the area of complex and critical systems.
In particular, presentations covering topics bridging from system engineering domains are welcome such as System Modelling, Validation and Verification, Coupling of safety-security-performance at system level, Human-Machine Interaction, Networking and Security, etc.
Taking over the Privacy #InterestGroup's role in reviewing and advising other groups on enhancing user privacy in Web standards, the group will also develop the Global Privacy Control (GPC) spec., which defines a signal sent via HTTP and the DOM to request that #websites do not sell or share personal information with third parties.
▶️ https://privacycg.github.io/gpc-spec/
GPC has been incubated in the Privacy #CommunityGroup, and anchors its signal in several existing legal frameworks: https://privacycg.github.io/gpc-spec/#legal-effects
🆕 The @w3c Privacy #WorkingGroup is now live:
▶️ https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/privacy/
Chaired by Christine Runnegar, @npdoty and Peter Snyder, the group's mission is to enhance Web #privacy by advising on standards development and standardizing mechanisms to protect user #privacy

On Sept.5, 2024, the #EUCloudEdgeIoT community joined a 🇪🇺 workshop to discuss #SwarmIntelligence.
SmartEdge showcased its innovative use of swarm intelligence in 3 key areas:
* 🚦traffic mngt : Improving traffic flow and safety with potential economic impacts of €100-390 billion by 2030
* 🏭 Smart factories : Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) for flexible production and dynamic swarm collaboration
* 📜 Standardization : Introducing real-time, event-driven #APIs for distributed agents like swarms
#w3cTPAC
Over the past 2 years of renewed activity within the @w3c @wot #CommunityGroup, numerous organizations, open-source projects, and researchers have demonstrated how they are incorporating #WoT into their technology stacks across a variety of industries, incl. building and factory automation, energy, smart homes, and scientific instrumentation.
