In 2017 the Economist magazine, in a much quoted article said, ‘the world’s most valuable resource is no longer oil, but data. Smartphones and the internet have made data abundant, ubiquitous and far more valuable”. While data may be abundant, in the world of libraries, publishers and intermediaries it is typically siloed and the value and potential to improve services has barely begun to be realised. On their own, data from libraries, publishers or conventional intermediaries will not be enough to deliver the kinds of predictive analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions that emerging. Commercial companies and sector bodies like Jisc have begun to develop platforms that make use of data from a variety of sources. This will be an intensely competitive environment and it is not yet clear who the winners will be for, as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at the world economic

CUbRIK tutorial at ICWE 2013: part 1 Introduction to Human ComputationCUbRIK Project
2013, July 8
Part 1 of the tutorial illustrated at ICWE 2013, by Alessandro Bozzon (Delft University of Technology)
Crowdsourcing and human computation are novel disciplines that enable the design of computation processes that include humans as actors for task execution. In such a context, Games With a Purpose are an effective mean to channel, in a constructive manner, the human brainpower required to perform tasks that computers are unable to perform, through computer games. This tutorial introduces the core research questions in human computation, with a specific focus on the techniques required to manage structured and unstructured data. The second half of the tutorial delves into the field of game design for serious task, with an emphasis on games for human computation purposes. Our goal is to provide participants with a wide, yet complete overview of the research landscape; we aim at giving practitioners a solid understanding of the best practices in designing and running human computation tasks, while providing academics with solid references and, possibly, promising ideas for their future research activities.
The Internet of Things is an emerging topic of technical, social, and economic significance. Consumer products, durable goods, cars and trucks, industrial and utility components, sensors, and other everyday objects are being combined with Internet connectivity and powerful data analytic capabilities that promise to transform the way we work, live, and play. Projections for the impact of IoT on the Internet and economy are impressive, with some anticipating as many as 100 billion connected IoT devices and a global economic impact of more than $11 trillion by 2025.
The workshop - 'AI transforming Business' is conducted on 20-21st Feb 2019 at Chennai hosted by CII.in (Confederation of Indian Industry) for top Indian executives.
This is a 2-day full-time workshop focused on coaching delegates on Artificial Intelligence(AI), Transforming business with AI, AI Data Strategy and best practices from organizations leading AI adoption across the world.
Delegates attended include Ex-CEO and Vice Chair of Cognizant Mr. Lakshmi Narayanan, CEO and MD of Ameex, AVP of Infosys, MD and CEO Rane Group, Sr. General Manager of Blue Star, Joint General Manager of L&T and 30 more delegates from top management from manufacturing, agriculture banking, and healthcare.

Internet of Things IoT Meaning, Application and Challengesijtsrd
The idea of making self- communicating devices conceived back in 1999 however it caught attention only after the British Entrepreneur Kevin Ashton christened the term Internet of Things. Since then, many distinguished researchers and other academicians of this domain have been adding significant knowledge on the fundamental concepts of IoT in the form of extensive researches, review papers and visual presentations. Here, in this paper, we are shedding light on the core concepts of Internet of Things. We further examine the potential impact of other existing or establishing technologies on IoT. We are presenting an extensive multi-facet report on the implementation of IoT while addressing many probable challenges that may occur in future.

Advances in technology always had an impact on our lives. Several emerging technologies, most notably the Internet of Things (IoT) and blockchain, present transformative opportunities. The blockchain is a decentralized, transparent ledger for storing transaction data. By effectively establishing trust between nodes, it has the remarkable potential to design unique architectures for most enterprise applications. When it first appeared as a platform for anonymous cryptocurrency trading, such as Bitcoin, on a public network platform, blockchain piqued the interest of researchers. The chain is completed when each block connects to the previous block. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of networked devices that can exchange data and be managed and controlled via unique identifiers. Automation, wireless sensor networks, embedded systems, and control systems are just a few of the well-known technologies that power the IoT. Converging advancements in real-time analytics, machine learning, commodity sensors, and embedded systems demonstrate the rapid expansion of the IoT paradigm. The Internet of Things refers to the global networking of millions of networked smart gadgets that gather and exchange data. Integrating the IoT and blockchain technology would be a significant step toward developing a reliable, secure, and comprehensive method of storing data collected by smart devices. Internet-enabled devices in the IoT can send data to private blockchain networks, creating immutable records of all transaction history. As a result, these networks produce unchangeable logs of all transactions. This research looks at how blockchain technology and the Internet of Things interact to understand better how devices can communicate with one another. The blockchain-enabled Internet of Things architecture proposed in this article is a useful framework for integrating blockchain technology and the Internet of Things using the most cutting-edge tools and methods currently available. This article discusses the principles of blockchain-based IoT, consensus methods, reviews, difficulties, prospects, applications, trends, and communication between IoT nodes in an integrated framework.

Industry experts believe blockchain is a technology that has the potential to affect the business of most IT profession-als in the next five years. Analyst Gartner has forecast that by 2023, blockchain will support the global movement and
tracking of $2tn of goods and services.
It is regarded by many industry watchers as a disrupting force
in the financial world. A PwC global financial technology (fintech)
survey found that 56% of respondents recognise the importance
of blockchain. At the same time, however, 57% admit to being
unsure about or unlikely to respond to this trend.
Start witH tHe HaSH
Blockchain is effectively a shared ledger between a group of
people – for example, a group of companies that work together
to produce a service or product. What makes blockchain differ-
ent is the fact that the history of the changes – past transactions,
for example – are immutable.
Essentially, the historical entries become read-only and
unchangeable. This is due to the fact that each blockchain
entry relies on the hash – a computed value including part of a
previous block as part of its hashing calculation for the current
block. This means that if a previous block is somehow modi-
fied or corrupted, its hash value will change and therefore the
values after that point become broken, making the tampering
evident for all to see.
One example where blockchain technology can be used is
where several companies come together to provide or consume

IoT and Blockchain Challenges and RisksAhmed Banafa
The biggest challenge facing IoT security is coming from the very architecture of the current IoT ecosystem; it’s all based on a centralized model known as the server/client model. All devices are identified, authenticated and connected through cloud servers that support huge processing and storage capacities. The connection between devices will have to go through the cloud, even if they happen to be a few feet apart. While this model has connected computing devices for decades and will continue to support today IoT networks, it will not be able to respond to the growing needs of the huge IoT ecosystems of tomorrow.

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!

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. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

DevOps and Testing slides at DASA ConnectKari Kakkonen
My and Rik Marselis slides at 30.5.2024 DASA Connect conference. We discuss about what is testing, then what is agile testing and finally what is Testing in DevOps. Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Blockchain Overview: Possibilities and Issues
1. Blockchain Overview:
Possibilities and Issues
Bohyun Kim
CTO, University of Rhode Island Libraries &
President, LITA (Library and InformationTechnology Association)
Blockchain National Forum, San Jose, CA., August 6, 2018
2. What Blockchain Accomplishes
• Authenticity and security of records
• Blockchain is a type of distributed digital ledger on a peer-to-peer
(P2P) network, in which records are confirmed and encrypted.
• Blockchain records and keeps data in their original state in a secure
and tamper-proof manner by its technical implementation alone.
• For those familiar with a version control system such as Git, a
blockchain ledger can be thought of as something similar to a P2P
hosted git repository that allows sequential commits only.
Bohyun Kim, " Blockchain Overview: Possibilities and Issues,"
National Blockchain Forum, 08/06/2018.
3. Areas of Application
• Electronic health records
• Educational records
• Certification / License records
• Supply chain management
• Digital provenance
• Historic materials that may be contested or challenged due to the vested
interests of certain groups, and
• Digital rights management,
• Digital identity (authentication/authorization)
• Smart contracts (=self-executing programs on the blockchain platform)
Bohyun Kim, " Blockchain Overview: Possibilities and Issues,"
National Blockchain Forum, 08/06/2018.
4. Disruptive Potential of Blockchain
• A third-party authority no longer necessary to guarantee the
authenticity of the data
• Time and cost savings gained from eliminating a third-party
authority and related processes and fees
• Efficiency, convenience, and cost savings
Bohyun Kim, " Blockchain Overview: Possibilities and Issues,"
National Blockchain Forum, 08/06/2018.
5. Issues
a) Interoperability between different blockchain systems,
b) Scalability of blockchain at a global scale with large amount of
data,
c) Potential security issues such as the 51% attack,
d) Huge energy consumption that a blockchain requires to add a
block to a ledger, which has both environmental and economic
ramifications.
Bohyun Kim, " Blockchain Overview: Possibilities and Issues,"
National Blockchain Forum, 08/06/2018.
6. Challenges forWiderTesting/Adoption
• Lack of general understanding about blockchain in a larger audience
of information professionals.
• Technical obstacle for those not tech-savvy to set up a node in the
blockchain network to test it out.
• Lack of compelling use cases for libraries, archives, and museums.
Bohyun Kim, " Blockchain Overview: Possibilities and Issues,"
National Blockchain Forum, 08/06/2018.
7. Questionss to Ask for Compelling Use Cases
a) What kind of data/records (or the series thereof) must be stored
and preserved exactly the way they were created?
b) What kind of information is at great risk to be altered and
compromised by changing circumstances?
c) What type of interactions may need to take place between such
data/records and their users?
d) How much would be a reasonable cost for implementation?
