Towards user co-creation of value on the Internet-of-Things (IoT)
With the promise of an Internet-of-Things, an abundance of connected smart objects around us will collaborate to deliver us novel services that we couldn’t have dreamt of before. But, how should we, as an industry, prepare for this? How can we create (new) value for our customers?
Let’s start with some history. In the last years, the general availability of creation tools and distribution mechanisms for digital media has resulted in a so-called long tail of user created digital artefacts complementing the commercial offering of online media. Everyone can now create movies and put them on YouTube. A similar trend is ongoing for web resources where toolkits for creating mash-ups are complemented with online communities for sharing APIs and code.
I will present some inhibiting factors that prevent this wave of mass creativity to start in the world of connected Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. How can people trust services delivered by the IoT? How can they understand the services delivered to them by the smart environment? And, finally, how can users actively participate in this Internet-of-Things, as they do now on the Web?
I will zoom into this last aspect by addressing the required tools and sharing mechanisms for non-technical users to participate and co-create value on the Internet-of-Things. I will use SenseTale.com as one example trying to fill this gap. SenseTale is a live research prototype resulting from multi-disciplinary research that offers an online marketplace for IoT applications, real-time data and user created high-level abstractions thereof. SenseTale offers a first glimpse of a 3-sided marketplace where creative users, developers, and device manufacturers meet.
Introduction to SL for Graphic Design students
1) Second Life is a 3D virtual world launched in 2003 that has over 18 million users who interact through customizable avatars.
2) Unlike most virtual worlds which are located on a single server, Second Life is distributed over a network of servers allowing for a large scale environment.
3) Within Second Life, users can socialize, collaborate on projects and create virtual objects and spaces. Many universities and companies utilize Second Life for a variety of educational and business purposes.
Virtual Worlds: An Overview and Larger Trends
1. Virtual worlds refer to simulated 3D online environments that users can interact with and where they can socialize, play games, or engage in other activities.
2. There are closed virtual worlds like Second Life that are self-contained, and open virtual worlds on the emerging 3D internet that allow user-generated content.
3. Virtual worlds have potential applications for entertainment, social networking, and even business, but the technology is still developing and how they will ultimately be used is still uncertain.

Virtual Office Spaces to Overcome Sensory Distraction in Cubicle-Based Enviro...
The document discusses how virtual office spaces could help reduce sensory distractions in cubicle-based work environments. It notes that cubicle environments are full of distractions like noises and movements that make it difficult to focus. Research shows that even low-volume noises disrupt cognition. The document proposes that virtual office spaces could immerse users and isolate them from physical distractions, allowing seamless focus on tasks. This would enhance productivity and creativity more than methods like wearing headphones that require alternating between immersed and non-immersed states. Further investigation is warranted into using virtual environments to improve focus in the workplace.
Metanomics Transcript May 27 2009, Measuring Value in Virtual Worlds
This document summarizes a discussion from the Metanomics podcast about virtual teams and organizations.
1) Tony O'Driscoll from Duke University kicks off the discussion by looking at recent NSF research on virtual organizations and sociotechnical systems. This research examines how and when virtual organizations can enable scientific and educational work.
2) The main guest, Dr. Mitzi Montoya from NC State University, then presents her research on measuring the effectiveness of virtual worlds using her scale of "perceived virtual presence." Her research finds that the more present users feel in virtual worlds, the greater the effectiveness of training, collaboration, education, or presentations.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
