11th WebAndTheCity

The Responsible Web and AI for Smart Cities

This is the 11th edition of the workshop series labeled “Web and the City - The Web and Smart Cities”, which started back in Florence in 2015 and kept on taking place every year in conjunction with the WWW conference series. Last year the workshop was held in Singapore. Each year ...
Despite the many promises of open data, numerous challenges inhibit its full potential, such as its poor or inconsistent quality, a lack of complementary assets, and the limited skills of data providers and end-users. Open data intermediaries are instrumental in addressing some o ...

Approximating vision transformers for edge

Variational inference and mixed-precision for multi-modal data

Vision transformer (ViTs) models have shown higher accuracy, robustness and large volume data processing ability, creating new baselines and references for perception tasks. However, these advantages require large memory and high-performance processors and computing units, which ...

Open data hackathons and game jams

A systematic literature review

Open data can be used to understand societal issues and provide accountability, in line with the goals of open government. Open data hackathons and game jams are events where citizens gather to reuse open data and address social issues. We lack an overview of open data hackathons ...
Driving assist applications and connected autonomous vehicle systems are supported using AI models and algorithms, which process and analyze heavy data volumes. High-performance computing units and large memory systems support these models, algorithms, and applications, which res ...
Deploying scalable Vision Transformer applications on mobile and edge devices is constrained by limited memory and computational resources. Existing model development and deployment strategies include distributed computing and inference methods such as federated learning, split c ...
In response to unprecedented global urbanization, the smart city concept has emerged, leveraging ICT to enhance municipal efficiency and improve the quality of urban life. The concept of smart energy city (SEC) is closely related to smart cities, however, energy system developmen ...

Open Data Portals Engagement

A Cross-Country Analysis of Game Elements

Despite their pivotal role in promoting transparency, open data portals often struggle to engage citizens, functioning instead as static ‘data graveyards’. While external activities, such as hackathons, can raise awareness, they do not directly cultivate sustained engagement with ...

Responsible governance of generative AI

Conceptualizing GenAI as complex adaptive systems

Organizations increasingly use Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create strategic documents, legislation, and recommendations to support decision-making. Many current AI initiatives are technology-deterministic, whereas technology co-evolves with the social environment, ...
The metaverse is still in its early stages, and most prototype metaverse platforms fail to fulfill their potential and meet users’ demands. Numerous studies have focused on the success of metaverse applications. However, there has been limited research on the failure of the metav ...

AI-augmented government transformation

Organisational transformation and the sociotechnical implications of artificial intelligence in public administrations

Implementing artificial intelligence (AI) in public settings requires a fundamental transformation of various social and technical aspects within public administration. However, the transformative efforts required for AI integration and use in government remain underexplored. Thi ...
Vulnerable road users (VRUs), including pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists, account for approximately 50% of road traffic fatalities globally, as per the World Health Organization. In these scenarios, the accuracy and fairness of perception applications used in autonomous d ...

Privacy-Preserving Tools and Technologies

Government Adoption and Challenges

Understanding the landscape of privacy protection in governmental systems is crucial for ensuring the trustworthiness of public services and safeguarding citizens' sensitive data from breaches or misuse. Systematic mapping and synthesis of previous research can help identify exis ...

Realizing quantum-safe information sharing

Implementation and adoption challenges and policy recommendations for quantum-safe transitions

By utilizing the properties of quantum mechanics, quantum computers have the potential to factor a key pair of a large prime number and break some of the core cryptographic primitives that most information infrastructures depend on. This means that today's widely used cryptograph ...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly adopted by public sector organizations to provide better public services and to transform their internal processes. AI is now considered a key enabler for digital innovation and transformation in the public sector. However, AI is still ...
The digitalization of public administrations can reduce corruption, but many efforts fail. Although the relationship between digitalization and corruption has been investigated, how corruption can be reduced in practice is given hardly any attention. Therefore, we take a differen ...

AI recommendations’ impact on individual and social practices of Generation Z on social media

A comparative analysis between Estonia, Italy, and the Netherlands

Social media (SM) influence young adults’ communication practices. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly used for making recommendations on SM. Yet, its effects on different generations of SM users are unknown. SM can use AI recommendations to sort texts and prioritize the ...
Chatbots are radically redefining the customer service landscape. With the advent of AI-enabled chatbots, like ChatGPT, organizations are adopting chatbots to provide better customer services; however, the user experience has been given less attention. Building on IS success mode ...
