John Sutcliffe-Braithwaite introduces the Computational Socio-Geonomics (CSG/M) toolkit, which uses complexity science and emergence to model societal dynamics. CSG/M can be seen as a ubiquitous methodology for experimental societal modeling. It provides a new research paradigm involving a federation between Future Internet science and other domains to design and deploy modeling tools to better understand complex societal issues. The goal is to widely share this work and the modeling platform to support strategic societal change through an integrated societal modeling approach.

keynote speech (slides) at the 6th International Forum of Design As A Process -- Beyond Processes and Thinking. Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain -- 22nd-24th June 2016 -- WWW: http://www.6thforumofdesign.com/
Abstract:
The new industrial and digital craft objects shall not be considered as finished products, so in other words ‘ready-to-use’ and closed in on themselves. They are not the ultimate outcome of expert anticipatory (or predictive) studies (i.e. future sensing), and even less the material support of prescribed/predefined uses. In fact, these new objects are inherently unfinished, and therefore spur both designers and users into action (in favor of manifold design and development proposals). As their shape and function (amongst others) continuously change, the object acquires a new status, a new nature: it becomes a genuine system that provides an infinite number of possible object. The series would thus be lying within the object — the first occurrence of the object-system allows establishing the foundations of his ad hoc combinational logic (leading to countless generations of object states).
In my speech, I will strive to highlight the main challenges and opportunities brought by what appears to be a new systemic revolution of product design. To do so, I will focus on two key strategic axes: (1) from the object improvement to his ‘parametric mutation’; (2) from the customization/adaptation of object to a new type of innovative use (towards an innovation through practice).

Cognitive Networks working on large scale are object of an increasing interest by both the scientific and the commercial point of view in the context of several environments and domains. The natural convergence point for these heterogeneous disciplines is the need of a strong advanced technologic support that enables the generation of distributed observations on large scale as well as the intelligent process of obtained information. An approach based on the Semantic Sensor Web could be the key issue for enabling semantic ecosystems among heterogeneous Cognitive Networks.

Social Software and Community Information SystemsRalf Klamma
Social Software links social entities on the Internet. With this term we label new communication and collaboration media like wikis, blogs, social bookmarking but also traditional media supporting communities of practice. Scientific and professional communities challenge information systems engineering with high demands on traceable and secured collaboration and processing of scientific data. Flexibility, adaptation, interoperability are only a few requirements to mention.
With the advent of international standards XML-based standards like MPEG-7 for the handling of complex multimedia metadata and service oriented architectures engineers and community facilitators can create more generic services for the many communities with diverse but professional needs. Therefore, communities have to be incorporated in the community information systems engineering process.
In the talk we present a new reflective information system architecture called ATLAS offering self observation mechanisms for the establishment of a community-centered learning and improvement process for social software.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message

Hello, everyone: I am delighted to be here today!
My name: John Sutcliffe-Braithwaite, My agenda:
• Introduction to CSG/M (fuller exposition in the White Paper)
– It can be seen as a ubiquitous FI Societal experimental methodology
• THE BIG QUESTION: What is Future Internet in the Real World?
– It is the socio-technology layer for complex society: we are key players
• A NEW RESEARCH PARADIGM:
– The need for a new federation of research to effect strategic change
– A new theory & science of societal complexity
– A programme of Action Research/NPD to deliver CSG/M to the world
• My Aim: TO SHARE OUR WORK WIDELY. White Paper available:
“EU Complexity Research-an integrated approach-THE PEOPLES TOOLKIT”
2. a proposal for federation between Future Internet Science/FInES & CAPS
to design, deliver, and deploy an affordance called

We all ‘do systems’, multi-level, Meta-models

We each weave our own tapestry: life uniquely computed together.
5. THE METALOGER PARADIGM SHIFT
To the great sweep of change that is simplistically categorised as a technology-push and market-pull, can be added 'people-power' somewhat
contentiously. There is a wide concern at blind technology leading the world towards the brink , and one of the answers is to give people the
means to voice concerns in a way that makes them effective; there is an even wider issue, one of purpose and involvement generally in the
march of progress. The interest in more effective democratic processes is widely pursued - from the western model, to that of China, from
the model of involvement on the factory floor in Volvo or Japan, to the delivery of low technology to the Third World. We envisage a different
way of re-capturing the organic wholeness of earlier societies:

6. CSG/M: FI: GPS: the federation for Computable Society
• The argument: ‘FI’ is a fundamental phenomenon that
requires a fundamental solution –as yet undefined:
– it comprises intertwined Society/Complexity/ICT: we have not
defined what this means. Society & complexity is obvious at the everyday
level – but its scientific basis & how it is computed is a new quest
• FI choreographs solutions in this complex world:
– CSG/M is a toolkit to support this; it’s hypothesis is that Meta-
Modelling is how we work as humans; it is the basis of human
complexity & involves all of Society: us, everyone, everywhere
• The toolkit is a generic ICT overlay on all existing systems;
over the FI; it is: an evolutionary set of complex ecologies;
in-vivo: processing ‘life’; it’s basis is novel systems-science
– It will introduce & build a new computational paradigm of human
purpose i.e. Intertwined ‘Society/complexity/Meta-modelling’.

a major opportunity to support world sustainability
There are >1000 societal EU initiatives; FuturICT is a leader. There is a global
