Microlearning in crowdsourcing and crowdtasking applicaitonsDenis Havlik
A presentation given by Denis Havlik (AIT) on "Microlearning 7.0" conference (26-27 09 2013, Krems)
It presents the challenges of the crowdsourcing/crowdtasking applications and proposes the way to improve them by integrating the microlearning approaches in the applications.
Short presentation on ENVIROFI and FI-PPP from the EGU 2013 townhall session on big data (2013 04-08)
Introducing the ideas of environmentally enabled future-internet.
"There’s An App for That" -- but how do we actually develop them? While smartphones and tablets are even getting increasingly more popular and their application scenarios are growing, we still develop them using only a standard integrated development environment. As context-based services and apps do, next to network connectivity, require lots of sensor data, the tools for providing realistic sensor data during development are still immature.
Developing, testing, debugging and evaluating those next-generation context-based apps require sensor data for the mobile device -- acceleration, motion, light, sound, camera and many more sensors are available. Though, the existing development tools do seriously limit application developers by not providing the data at all or only on a very limited scale. Especially for indoor environment with applications such as indoor navigation, seamless interaction between public and private displays and activity recognition and monitoring, realistic sensor data are needed and simulation support during the development phase is essential.
In this paper, we present our work towards a holistic approach for mobile application development in intelligent environments, leveraging the existing development tool chain, facilitating more effective and realistic means for mobile application development at the example of the Android mobile device platform.

State and trends in mobile observation applications - ISESS 2014Denis Havlik
The stellar growth of the smartphones and nearly gapless mobile network coverage in
urban and suburban areas has widely extended the potential of the citizens’ observatories. The
possibility to easily record observations made by mobile citizens, and to automatically enrich this
information using the built-in and external sensors sounds like a dream come true of the scientists
and decision makers alike. However, in 2013 only a tiny portion of the potential users really
participated in the citizen observation programs and the usability of the received information is often
below expectations. The learning curve is often too high, sensor quality too low, the societal
importance and the added value for the users not easily understood by the end users. Some of these
obstacles can be overcome by improving the interaction with the users through crowdtasking and
microlearning, others by re-assessing the application design and expectations.
In this paper, we shall present the best practice examples of the mobile observation usage in
applications currently available on the market. We shall discuss the scope, potentials, limitations,
obstacles, and ethical issues of these applications, compare them with the apps developed by the
research community and reason

2016 01-11 ipred iv crowdtasker presentationDenis Havlik
In 2007, the Austrian Red Cross has formed Team Österreich to improve the management of the loosely organised volunteers. This has proved very useful during the subsequent large scale floods and currently numbers over 35000 pre-registered members. Subsequently, the ARC has teamed up with AIT and Frequentis to develop an experimental platform and methodology that will allow individual management of such volunteers.
These slides have been presented on IPRED IV conference (Israel, January 2016). They introduce the resulting crowdtasking methodology and software and explain to potential "volunteers" what they should expect if and when they join the crowdtasking experiment.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Editor's Notes
Two out of three ENVIROFI scenarios are strongly biased towards citizen scientists, mobile crowdsourcing and crowdtasking and local situation awareness.
In some senses, humans are „bad sensors“. They are non-standardized, difficult to calibrate, don‘t like the idea of working 24/7, easily bored and their accuracy and sensitivity erratically varies over time. However, they also excell at pattern recognition and interpretation of the results.
This makes them complementary to hardware sensors and very valuable for some types of applications.
Unlike standard monitoring systems, the human sensors (and to a lesser extent also information from user-owned sensors) inevitably deliver conflicting and incomplete information. The Quality assurance of such data often relies on combination of peer review, expert opinions and various indicators.
In MDAF, all these results can happily co-exist even if they are contradicting each other. The decision „what is the reality?“ is only made at the level of „application specific view“, taking into account the owners interests and trust in various data sources.
As a result, it is perfectly possible to generate several conflicting „realities“ from the same data set. E.g. a Greanpeace applicaiton will show different reality than a fisherman association applicaiton simply because they make different assumprions concerning the relative importance and trustworthiness of the data.
The „applicaiton specific view“ has not been fully implemented, but the technology is the same as the one used for the quality assurance part.
The architecture shown here goes beyond the ENVIROFI pilots and indicates our ideas what woudl be possible to do with FI-Ware GEs in the future.
This demo has been developed within the project scope and brought to working PoC status. We are confident that the concept will work well when we start making „real“ applicaitons. In fact, we (AIT) are using this in CRISMA project now, so the number of available widgets and our know-how steadily rises…
Tasking of volunteers and experts is a key to data collection and quality assurance. It is crucial to task the users which are both able and willing to perform this task, while avoiding the information overflow.
In ENVIROFI, AIT was able to develop a concept and basic technology which will allow us to implement the context- and profile- specific tasking in the future projects.
