Presented at the 61st Conference of the International Communication Association, Boston, 26-30 May 2011
The presentation will be structured as follow. The talk will first provide an introduction to the theory behind the Socio-Cultural Ecology (Pachler, Bachmair and Cook, 2010) and the notion of User-generated contexts (Cook, Pachler and Bachmair, accepted), which Cook (2009) has refined into an analytical tool called a ‘typology-grid’ (see below). The talk will then demonstrate how the typology-grid has been successfully been used to analyse and learn from the ALPS and conclude by inviting a critique of the typology-grid.

Deliberative Democracy as a Strategy for Co-designing University Ethics Around Analytics and AI in Education
Simon Buckingham Shum
Connected Intelligence Centre, University of Technology Sydney
Universities can see an increasing range of student and staff activity as it becomes digitally visible in their platform ecosystems. The fields of Learning Analytics and AI in Education have demonstrated the significant benefits that ethically responsible, pedagogically informed analysis of student activity data can bring, but such services are only possible because they are undeniably a form of “surveillance”, raising legitimate questions about how the use of such tools should be governed.
Our prior work has drawn on the rich concepts and methods developed in human-centred system design, and participatory/co-design, to design, deploy and validate practical tools that give a voice to non-technical stakeholders (e.g. educators; students) in shaping such systems. We are now expanding the depth and breadth of engagement that we seek, looking to the Deliberative Democracy movement for inspiration. This is a response to the crisis in confidence in how typical democratic systems engage citizens in decision making. A hallmark is the convening of a Deliberative Mini-Public (DMP) which may work at different scales (organisation; community; region; nation) and can take diverse forms (e.g. Citizens’ Juries; Citizens’ Assemblies; Consensus Conferences; Planning Cells; Deliberative Polls). DMP’s combination of stratified random sampling to ensure authentic representation, neutrally facilitated workshops, balanced expert briefings, and real support from organisational leaders, has been shown to cultivate high quality dialogue in sometimes highly conflicted settings, leading to a strong sense of ownership of the DMP's final outputs (e.g. policy recommendations).
This symposium contribution will describe how the DMP model is informing university-wide consultation on the ethical principles that should govern the use of analytics and AI around teaching and learning data.
Accessibility as Innovation - giving your potential users the chance to inspi...Jonathan Hassell
Many organisations seem to fear that making their products accessible means dumbing them down: they might then work for everyone, but they will lose a lot of their pizzazz in the process.
In this eAccess-13 presentation Jonathan Hassell presents the contrary view - that organisations that really look into the different needs of their disabled audiences often find this breaks them out of fixed positions, allowing them to take innovative leaps in product design.
Using examples from the typewriter to the iPhone classic ‘Zombies, Run!’ and his own recent projects involving the Microsoft Kinect games controller, Jonathan guides you through a way of thinking about product development which is inclusive, creative and potentially very lucrative.
Innovation management in schools: Barriers and enablers to making as educati...Christian Voigt
This paper explores the use of maker technologies as activities embedded in a wider educational ecosystem. Innovations are generally described as the exploitation of new ideas; hence novel technologies and processes need to be adopted by the relevant user groups. The paper starts with a conceptual overview of maker technologies, innovation types and highlights the spe-cial situation of educational quasi-markets, where innovation management is different to fully competitive markets, such as the hardware and software industry. At the core of the paper are teachers' perceptions of barriers and enablers to using novel technologies. Assuming a systemic perspective on innovations, the paper also discusses topics such as appropriate funding, national regulations, curricular flexibility, technologies ready to use and adequate training opportunities for teachers. Hence, first findings of a re-search project on making and innovation management in schools are pre-sented on the basis of 25 interviews from nine European countries.

there is a twofold problem when it comes to gender relation and, more generally, diversity in Maker Spaces:
(a) managers of these spaces may have incomplete information so that they can’t really specify whether there is a problem at all or if so, they cannot estimate the magnitude of the issue or any implications that come with it.
(b) Maker communities struggle to find answers when confronted with cultural diversity or vocal opponents of specific approaches to running a maker space.

User Experiences Around Sentiment Analyses, Facilitating Workplace Learning Christian Voigt
User acceptance is key for the adoption of a new technology. In this work we experiment with a novel service for tutors in workplace learning settings. Sentiment analysis is a way to extract feelings and emotions from a text. In a learning setting such a sentiment analysis can be part of learning analytics. It has the potential to foster the understanding of emotions in shared discussions in learning environments, detect group dynamics as well as the impact of certain topics on learners’ sentiments. However, sentiment analysis presents some challenges too, as lived experiences, expectations and ultimately acceptance of this technology varies greatly and can become barriers to adoption. In order to design a system for learning analytics accepted by tutors we experimented with proof-of-concept prototypes and received valuable feedback from tutors regarding the usefulness of the overall sentiment analysis as well as certain features. The qualitative feedback confirms the overall interest of tutors in sentiment analysis and gives important hints towards more detailed analytical elements.
Collaborative Mapping and the Reliability of Volunteered Data Christian Voigt
Participation platforms, such as OpenStreet
Map.org or Wheelmap.org represent a shift from a world defined by the few to a world where almost everyone can par-ticipate voluntarily. Emerging cultures of participation offer powerful mechanisms to raise awareness of some of today's most pressing societal problems. However, just because citizens could contribute to these platforms, does not mean that they will actually do it. Engaging volunteers and offering straight-forward means of participation whilst simultaneously ensuring that volunteers meet the necessary quality standards remains a known challenge. In this paper, we explore the robustness of a collaborative mapping process, specifically collecting accessi-bility data of cities' built environment. The paper combines theoretical considerations from the field of participatory de-sign and actual data from the authors' recent experiences with crowdsourcing open accessibility information. Finally, the paper makes the case for enhancing a categorical approach to mapping with a stronger consideration of a map's purpose and a healthy scepticism towards overly simplified crowdsourcing mechanisms.

The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.

Adjusting OpenMP PageRank : SHORT REPORT / NOTESSubhajit Sahu
For massive graphs that fit in RAM, but not in GPU memory, it is possible to take
advantage of a shared memory system with multiple CPUs, each with multiple cores, to
accelerate pagerank computation. If the NUMA architecture of the system is properly taken
into account with good vertex partitioning, the speedup can be significant. To take steps in
this direction, experiments are conducted to implement pagerank in OpenMP using two
different approaches, uniform and hybrid. The uniform approach runs all primitives required
for pagerank in OpenMP mode (with multiple threads). On the other hand, the hybrid
approach runs certain primitives in sequential mode (i.e., sumAt, multiply).
