Zitizenz Empowered Individuals through Visual Component-Based Design and Open Data Abstract: The future envisioned by Ray Kurzweil and others indicate that computing will become integrated with almost everything in our society, which would generate massive amounts of private, corporate and governmental data. At the same time the software architectures we use become more powerful and simpler to use, through reconfigurable components etc, which means that end-user programming may become common in that future. This talk will give a brief overview of this development and its challenges, both through ongoing projects at LTU and by looking ahead towards 2030.
What is a citizen? Then and now
The Citizen Equals rights and contribution to a community.

Generation E Those ages 8 to 18 spend more than 7,5 hours a day with such devices, compared with less than 6,5 hours 5 years ago, when the study was last conducted. And that does not count the 1,5 hours that youths spend texting, or the 0,5 hour they talk on their cellphones. And because so many of them are multitasking say, surfing the Internet while listening to music they pack on average nearly 11 hours of media content into that 7,5 hours. -- Kevin Drum, MotherJones.com

What is a smart city?
We believe a city to be smart when investments in human and social capital and traditional (transport) and modern (ICT) communications infrastructure fuel sustainable economic growth and a high quality of life, with a wise management of natural resources, through participatory governance -- A. Caragliu, C. del Bo, and P. Nijkamp (2009)

How can Open Data enable citizens?
The power of digital information to catalyze progress is limited only by the power of the human mind. Data are not consumed by the ideas and innovations they spark, but are an endless fuel for creativity. A small bit of information, well found, can drive a giant leap of creativity. The power of a data set can be amplified by ingenuity through applications unimagined by the authors and distant from the original field. --- "Harnessing the Power of Digital Data for Science and Society" U.S. OSTP, 2009
Open Data 8 Principles Data Must Be Complete Data Must Be Primary Data Must Be Timely Data Must Be Accessible Data Must Be Machine Processable Access Must Be Non-Discriminatory Data Formats Must Be Non-Proprietary Data Must Be License-free www.opengovdata.org www.opengov.se
The European PSI Directive The Directive on the re-use of public sector information deals with the way public sector bodies should enhance re-use of their information resources while maintaining transparency and fair competition. This basically means that data regarding governing bodies, such as cities, should be made available in a transparent way for a reasonable cost. http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/policy/psi/actions_eu/policy_actions/ index_en.htm
Open Data Intiatives OpenlyLocal lists an impressive number of UK councils (currently over 140 local authorities) that provide open access to their public information. http://openlylocal.com/
Open Data Intiatives FIREBALL establishes a network of Smart Cities across Europe that engage in long term collaboration for adopting User Driven Open Innovation to explore the opportunities when bringing together the Future Internet, Living Labs and Smart Cities constituencies.
Digital Cities from people to people Citizen participation could take different forms: Collection of data to be broadcasted, or to be used to analyse and sense the status and the dynamics of the city Citizen participation in democratic decisions for the evolution of the city Execution of necessary actions to improve the city s performance and sustainability Prof Khaldoun Agha, Université Paris-Sud
What are we doing to draw benefits from the citizen s initiative and drive?

Ethics Privacy and Integrity Legislation is lagging behind! Telecommunications directives Opt-in or opt-out Location services Safeguards Informed consent Who owns and can use the data? Italian regulations a good example How can informed decisions be made based on the context of usage? Can social networks be a parameter to alleviate privacy concerns? Solving this may be one of the greatest challenges because of its inherent complexity! Is the user the logical owner of personal data?
