The document discusses the rise of optimistic approaches to web 2.0 from various theoretical perspectives and also discusses some criticisms of these perspectives. It analyzes power structures in digital media using concepts from Michel Foucault around discipline, surveillance, and the panopticon. The document argues that a Foucauldian lens can help understand the ambiguous role of users and how their horizontal interactions still generate vertical flows of information to platforms. It provides examples analyzing power in entities like Google.

Open communities of innovation pioneers: the Musigen case studyGiuseppe Naccarato
We call innovation pioneers the experts in a scientific or technical domain in the early stages
of its development. Advances in information technologies allow networks of organizations
and individuals to exchange ideas and knowledge. Not differently from what has happened in
communities of consumers with the emergence of the so called prosumers, ICT can support
communities of innovation pioneers.
However, the role of IT in this domain has not been studied extensively in the management
literature. Understanding the dynamics of communities of innovation pioneers, instead, can
provide companies with precious knowledge on future breakthrough innovations.
This paper means to deepen our understanding of communities of innovation pioneers and the
role of IT in supporting them.
To achieve this goal, we investigate the case of Musigen, a new web platform with the
purpose to support knowledge sharing in the generative music field.

Ideologies in HCI: A Semiotic PerspectiveJan Brejcha
The user-interface (UI) of interactive systems is the meeting point of people with interactive communication technology (ICT). As a human product, it forms a part of culture that determines us, often without our full awareness. The values and goals of the designers are implicitly encoded in the interface and the documentation but can be in conflict with the values of the user. This is when both the intentional and unintentional manipulation with the user starts because he or she is presented with inappropriate choices or even inappropriate goals. The aim of this article is to show how this manipulation works, in which regards it is unavoidable and how can we deal with it. Ideologies are a special means of manipulation and we can counter them by suitable education and analysis.
The Genesis of Crisis Communication: from Witnesses to GatewatchersLuca Rossi
During crisis events individuals look for information and try to share useful content or testify their own experience through social media sites. The research for valuable information is, usually, largely based on information provided - through social media as well as through more traditional media - by news agencies and official actors. This collective behavior leads, on a given amount of time, toward the emergence of gatewatching activities where digital media are usually used to reshare and to control information. But how does this phenomenon emerge? This paper will investigate this specific topic looking at the Twitter conversations produced during the first five hours after the earthquake that struck Emilia Romagna region in Italy on May 20th 2012.
By focusing on the first 5 hours of the Twitter stream we have been able to detect the early user-led phase of the phenomenon, showing which type of users has been the first to fill the information gap and, by then, what happened until the early morning when traditional media came on stage. The research has been based both on the a textual qualitative analysis of the tweets, aimed at investigating what kind of messages were produced and by what kind of users, and on a Social Network Analysis of the #terremoto hashtag that showed how user-produced communication results in different network structures than news agencies’ produced ones.
On February 2013, over 35 million Italian citizens voted to renew the national Parliament. For the first time in Italian history, Internet played an important and perhaps decisive role as place of political debating. In order to investigate the role that social media played in this electoral campaign, we collected social media mentions from Facebook and Twitter of the main political leaders during the month prior the election. This resulted in dataset composed by more than 2 millions Twitter messages and 25 millions Facebook interactions. Starting from critical multi-level approach, present paper will attempt both to deal with complexity of election predictive models based on online data and to highlight main determinants affecting vote and online mention. All these questions will be answered through the use of large-scale longitudinal data.
Talk given at MediaMutation 3 Conference, Bologna, 25th May 2011
Abstract
In the Web 2.0, traditional audiovisual narratives such as Tv series are evolving. This is the case of
Glee (Fox, 2009 - present), a musical teen dramedy that exploit the opportunities of YouTube to engage audience in a open ended process of spredability. In fact, Fox distributes on YouTube both
Glee music clip and previews in Official Channels. At the same time YouTube users appropriate and
re-work professional produced content to fulfil they personal needs.
This new scenario rises a whole new set of research questions: which kind of social structures
emerges around YouTube videos? Does fans interact in the same way on Official Channels and in
Fan Channels? Which YouTube videos stimulate more fans interaction through comments. With the
aim to answer to those question we combined a Social Network Analysis (SNA) with a content analysis of both YouTube videos and user’s comments. Glee related videos became a social space
where both fans and anti-fans interact but they don’t seem to construct any kind of stable social relationship. In order to observe the emergence of disperse audience, we map the YouTube network of
users that comment the video to see how this network participates or does not participate in the ongoing conversations about Glee’s videos. At the same time we have mapped all the interactions occurring between fans and anti-fans and we have identified several typologies of comments.
The major research results that will be discussed in our paper will be: the analysis of the comments
and textual interactions and their role within the YouTube social practices, the analysis of the videos
and their ability to start different kind of social interactions, a reflection upon the new relationship
between fans and anti-fans that emerges in YouTube as a consequence of the “collapsed context”
between fan cultures and generalistic audience.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
The Metaverse and AI: how can decision-makers harness the Metaverse for their...Jen Stirrup
The Metaverse is popularized in science fiction, and now it is becoming closer to being a part of our daily lives through the use of social media and shopping companies. How can businesses survive in a world where Artificial Intelligence is becoming the present as well as the future of technology, and how does the Metaverse fit into business strategy when futurist ideas are developing into reality at accelerated rates? How do we do this when our data isn't up to scratch? How can we move towards success with our data so we are set up for the Metaverse when it arrives?
How can you help your company evolve, adapt, and succeed using Artificial Intelligence and the Metaverse to stay ahead of the competition? What are the potential issues, complications, and benefits that these technologies could bring to us and our organizations? In this session, Jen Stirrup will explain how to start thinking about these technologies as an organisation.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

approaches to web 2.0

6. Rediscovering classics: Marx, Lacan, Althusser,
Gramsci, Foucault
Usefullness of Foucault: genealogy as a tool for
understanding the constitution of individuals in the
modern society
Weakness of Foucault: impossibility to translate his
thinking in revolutionary (or at least political) action
(Formenti)
6
8. Foucault as reference for the studies on digital
interactive media and power, from Lyon to
Andreevic
Foucault’s point of view on power enables us to
look the distribution of social power in a complex
and problematic way: not only its vertical form,
but also a kind of horizontal relation between
individuals.
8
9. In some of his works (1973-1975), Foucault
distinguishes between two different forms of
power:
• Sovereignity: pre-modern power, based on the
- king’s (intermittant) visibility,
- citizen’s invisibility (with the exception of the
intervention of the power, like public executions)
• Discipline. Modern power, based on
- continuous surveillance
- citizens visibility.
9
10. A typical example of
the power of
discipline: the
Panopticon, the
prison planned by
Jeremy Bentham,
The convicts live in
cells with only one
transparent wall.
They can be
watched by prison
guards, or any
citizen who decides
to observe them.
10
11. For Foucault the modern power needs three
basic elements:
Subjects: (institutions like school, army,
asylums; but also citizens, like in Panopticon)
Tools: writing, which enables the system
on the one hand to settle the conditions of the
social life,
on the other hand to memorize the citizens’
behaviours
Objects:
the citizen’s “soul” (standardization
of behaviour, thinking, knowledge…)
11
12. The
concept of “dispositif” (french word, in
english translated as “apparatus”): it’s a
synthesis of technological and social
systems, able to work in automatic (and
unnoticed) way as regulator and controller.
Thereason-why of the consensus is the idea
of safety in a (potentially) unsafe society.
12
13. In fact – according with Andreevic - our behaviour
with digital interactive media is completely under
observation. Two are the main goals:
the
political one (aimed to repression or social
control)
thecommercial one, typical of the the great web 2.0
companies that use the informations on the users,
customers and surfers as a commodity (knowledge
technologies about privacy are like the writing in
d.i.m.)
13
14. In a Foucaultian perspective, the asset of digital power needs
three basic elements:
Subjects: great economical companies using big set of
users data (i.e. Google)
Tools: set of hardware and software devices for treatment
of personal data, which enables the apparatus
on the one hand to create profiles of users
on the other hand to conditioning their digital and
personal behaviours: see bank, search engines,
commercial or cognitive companies…
Objects: the citizen’s digital “soul” (produced contents,
responses to companies contents or services,
communication activities…) 14
15. The reasons-why of the consensus are:
(communicative) richness in a proletarizing society
free consumption as a form of freedom
sociability in an unfriendly society
15
16. Every single act of the receiver/user can be seen/
read by the ”apparatus” (transparency)
the communication flow is practically continuous
(more the user is always on, more her/his life is
traceable by the system, or by other users)
the trust is replaced by an implicit acceptance,
typical of the relationship with the apparatus
16
17. Traditional media: Digital interactive media:
the flow of communication users use the media as a
goes from the apparatus to resource for horizontal
recipients, that can communication, but they
interpret/ domesticate the are in fact generating a flow
message/device of information towards the
apparatus
trust (credibility or users assign to the
reliability) is part of the apparatus the value of
relation of the recipient tools. In these instruments,
with the message and the trust is of automatic type
publisher/editor/author and poorly verified
.
17
18. • Use tools • Receive/read
texts
Receiver
Users
s
Commodi
Authors ties
• Communicate • Send information
to/with others
on theirselves to
the apparatus18
19. A foucaultian perspective enables us to understand the
characteristic power structure of the digital communication in
the web 2.0
The peculiar form of the digital apparatus is able to explain
the ambiguous role of the activity of the user in digital media
In a foucaultian perspective the form of power doesn’t
explain only the traditional vertical form of the power, but
also the more radical power implicated in many forms of
horizontal communications (see the concept of
“interveillance”: Andreevic, Jansson)
19
21. Critical analysis of Google:
- Rank Egemony, Power law (Shirky 2003)
- Dialectic between centrifugal and centripetal forces
(Introna and Nissenbaum 2000, Miconi 2011)
- Googlearchy (Hindman and alii 2009)
- Customization (or googlelization) of results
- Stock and (ab)use of users personal data
