Tweede Kamer dreigt ICT-kennis kwijt te raken

Met de naderende verkiezingen dreigt de Tweede Kamer vrijwel al haar leden te verliezen die over kennis van digitale zaken en cyberveiligheid beschikken, zegt cybersecurity-expert Bert Hubert in Argos.

SDG:t 10 vuotta - missä ICT:n vastaavat? YK:n kestävän kehityksen tavoitteet täyttävät tänä vuonna kymmenen vuotta. Kun ICT on kaikkien haasteiden iso tekijä, voisiko sille laatia vastaavaa? Pari asiaa pohtivaa sanaa Pitkyn netissä:

"We want to cut municipality ICT spending on software in half before the start of 2027. Imagine reducing the cost from 36 euros per resident per year in 2022 to just 18.50 euros in 2027. We are committed to achieving this by replacing lock-in software and non-user-friendly applications with transparent, accessible, and innovative solutions. Fair contracting is at the heart of our strategy."

A Lightweight Privacy-Preserving Smart Metering Billing Protocol with Dynamic Tariff Policy Adjustment
The integration of information and communication technology (ICT) with traditional power grids has led to the emergence of smart grids. Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) plays a crucial role in smart grids by facilitating two-way communication between smart meters and the utility provider. This bidirectional communication allows intelligent meters to report fine-grained consumption data at predefined intervals, enabling accurate billing, efficient grid monitoring and management, and rapid …

ICT Within Limits Is Bound To Be Old-Fashioned By Design
Crossing multiple planetary boundaries places us in a zone of uncertainty that is characterized by considerable fluctuations in climatic events. The situation is exacerbated by the relentless use of resources and energy required to develop digital infrastructures that have become pervasive and ubiquitous. We are bound to these infrastructures, dead technologies and negative commons, just as much as they bind us. Although their growth threatens the necessary reduction of our impact, we have a re…

Sprouting technology otherwise, hospicing negative commons -- Rethinking technology in the transition to sustainability-oriented futures
Due to its significant and growing environmental harms, both directly through its materiality and indirectly through its pervasive integration into unsustainable economic systems, ICT will need to be radically redirected to align with sustainability-oriented futures. While the role of ICT in such futures will likely diverge significantly from current dynamics, it will probably not be entirely disconnected from the present. Instead, such transition involves complex dynamics of continuity, adapta…

Measuring the Carbon Footprint of Cryptographic Privacy-Enhancing Technologies
Privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) have attracted significant attention in response to privacy regulations, driving the development of applications that prioritize user data protection. At the same time, the information and communication technology (ICT) sector faces growing pressure to reduce its environmental footprint, particularly its carbon emissions. While numerous studies have assessed the energy footprint of various ICT applications, the environmental footprint of cryptographic PETs …

Information and Communication Theoretical Foundations of the Internet of Plants, Principles, Challenges, and Future Directions
Plants exchange information through multiple modalities, including chemical, electrical, mycorrhizal, and acoustic signaling, which collectively support survival, defense, and adaptation. While these processes are well documented in biology, their systematic analysis from an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) perspective remains limited. To address this gap, this article is presented as a tutorial with survey elements. It provides the necessary biological background, reformulates in…

Cyber-Physical Co-Simulation of Load Frequency Control under Load-Altering Attacks
Integrating Information and Communications Technology (ICT) devices into the power grid brings many benefits. However, it also exposes the grid to new potential cyber threats. Many control and protection mechanisms, such as Load Frequency Control (LFC), responsible for maintaining nominal frequency during load fluctuations and Under Frequency Load Shedding (UFLS) disconnecting portion of the load during an emergency, are dependent on information exchange through the communication network. The r…

Indoor Positioning with Wi-Fi Location: A Survey of IEEE 802.11mc/az/bk Fine Timing Measurement Research
Indoor positioning is an enabling technology for home, office, and industrial network users because it provides numerous information and communication technology (ICT) and Internet of things (IoT) functionalities such as indoor navigation, smart meter localization, asset tracking, support for emergency services, and detection of hazardous situations. The IEEE 802.11mc fine timing measurement (FTM) protocol (commercially known as Wi-Fi Location) has great potential to enable indoor positioning i…

Environmental (in)considerations in the Design of Smartphone Settings
Designing for sufficiency is one of many approaches that could foster more moderate and sustainable digital practices. Based on the Sustainable Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) literature, we identify five environmental settings categories. However, our analysis of three mobile OS and nine representative applications shows an overall lack of environmental concerns in settings design, leading us to identify six pervasive anti-patterns.

The Case for Time-Shared Computing Resources
The environmental impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) continues to grow, driven notably by increasing usage, rebound effects, and emerging demands. However, despite the virtual nature of its services, the sector remains inherently constrained by its materiality and cannot rely on an infinite pool of resources. As a result, the wide variety of supported services may need to be managed under stricter limits within hosting facilities in the future. Contrary to common assumpt…

Digital autonomy is unavoidable, but demands more than a quick fix - Delta
Digital autonomy is not a luxury, it is essential. This was the message communicated this summer by researchers from the Rathenau Institute to Dutch knowledge institutions in a report about digital dependence on foreign technology companies. Delta asked ICT director Erik Scherff about the university’s position on this. His reply: “The current geopolitics forces us to negotiate.”
