This book develops tools and techniques that will help urban
residents gain access to urban computing. Metaphorically speaking,
it is taking computing to the street by giving the general public -
rather than just researchers and professionals - the power to
leverage available city infrastructure and create solutions
tailored to their individual needs. It brings together five
articles that are based on presentations given at the Street
Computing Workshop held on 24 November 2009 in Melbourne in
conjunction with the Australian Computer-Human Interaction
conference (OZCHI 2009). This volume focuses on applying urban
informatics, urban and community sensing and open application
programming interfaces (APIs) to the public space through the
delivery of online services, on demand and in real time. It then
offers a case study of how the city of Singapore has harnessed the
potential of an online infrastructure so that residents and
visitors can access services electronically. This book was
published as a special issue of the Journal of Urban Technology.
Edited by thought leaders in the fields of urban informatics and
urban interaction design, this book brings together case studies
and examples from around the world to discuss the role that urban
interfaces, citizen action, and city making play in the quest to
create and maintain not only secure and resilient, but productive,
sustainable and viable urban environments. The book debates the
impact of these trends on theory, policy and practice. The
individual chapters are based on blind peer reviewed contributions
by leading researchers working at the intersection of the social /
cultural, technical / digital, and physical / spatial domains of
urbanism scholarship. The book will appeal not only to researchers
and students, but also to a vast number of practitioners in the
private and public sector interested in accessible content that
clearly and rigorously analyses the potential offered by urban
interfaces, mobile technology, and location-based services in the
context of engaging people with open, smart and participatory urban
environments.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th
International Conference on User Science and Engineering, i-USEr
2018, held in Puchong, Malaysia, in August 2018. The 32 papers
accepted for i-USEr 2018 were selected from 72 submissions with a
thorough double-blind review process. The selected papers
illustrate how HCI is inclusive and omnipresent within the domains
of informatics, Internet of Things, Quality of Life, and others.
They are organized in the following topical sections: design, UX
and usability; HCI and underserved; technology and adoption; human
centered computing; HCI and IT infrastructure; and HCI and
analytics.

Digital Participation through Social Living Labs connects two
largely separate debates: On the one hand, high speed internet
access and associated technologies are often heralded as a means to
bring about not only connectivity, but also innovation, economic
development, new jobs, and regional prosperity. On the other hand,
community development research has established that access by
itself is necessary but not sufficient to foster digital
participation for the broadest possible range of individuals.
Edited by leading scholars from the fields of education, youth
studies, urban informatics, librarianship, communication
technology, and digital media studies, this book is positioned as a
link to connect these debates. It brings together an international
collection of empirically grounded case studies by researchers and
practitioners from diverse backgrounds. They advance knowledge that
fosters digital participation by identifying the specific digital
needs, issues and practices of different types of communities as
they seek to take advantage of access to digital technologies.
Collectively, these cases propose new ways for enabling residents
to develop their digital confidence and skills both at home and in
their local community, particularly through a 'social living labs'
approach. The book is organised around key focus areas: digital
skills enhancement, youth entrepreneurship, connected learning,
community digital storytelling, community-led digital initiatives
and policy development.
Alive with movement and excitement, cities transmit a rapid flow of
exchange facilitated by a meshwork of infrastructure connections.
In this environment, the Internet has advanced to become the prime
communication medium, creating a vibrant and increasingly
researched field of study in urban informatics.""The Handbook of
Research on Urban Informatics: The Practice and Promise of the
Real-Time City"" brings together an international selection of 66
esteemed scholars presenting their research and development on
urban technology, digital cities, locative media, and mobile and
wireless applications. A truly global resource, this one-of-a-kind
reference collection contains significant and timely research
covering a diverse range of current issues in the urban informatics
field, making it an essential addition to technology and social
science collections in academic libraries that will benefit
scholars and practitioners in an array of fields ranging from
computer science to urban studies.
