This presentation was provided by Lauren Di Monte of the North Carolina State University during a NISO webinar on the Internet of Things, held on October 19, 2016.
Lee Rainie, Director of Internet, Science and Technology research at the Pew Research Center in the U.S., will discuss three technology revolutions of the past decade and how a fourth revolution is now underway at the State of the Net conference in Milan, Italy. He will cover global trends in adoption of 1) the internet and broadband; 2) mobile connectivity; and 3) social media and then will discuss how the “Internet of Things” will affect people and businesses in the next decade.
Many experts say the rise of embedded and wearable computing will bring the next revolution in digital technology. They say the upsides are enhanced health, convenience, productivity, safety, and more useful information for people/organizations. The downsides: challenges to personal privacy, over-hyped expectations, and boggling tech complexity. Lee Rainie shares the latest research from Pew about libraries and puts it into context with the expanding Internet of Things.
Lee Rainie discussed an extensive roster of expert predictions about the internet in the coming decade. He discussed what happens to people’s behavior when the internet is everywhere, how new social and cultural divides will emerge, how deeply education will be disrupted, and how a different mix of companies will influence the Internet.
Lee Rainie will present findings from Pew Research Center’s report titled "The Internet of Things Will Thrive by 2025" to the American Bar Association Section of Science & Technology law on March 30, 2016. The report presents the views of hundreds of “technology builders and analysts” on the question of whether Internet of Things will have widespread and beneficial effects on the everyday lives of the public.

Despite many attempts to perturb a scholarly publishing system that is over 350 years old, it feels pretty much like business as usual. I argue that we have become trapped inside the machine, and if we want to change it in an informed way we need to step outside and take a look. First I describe my lens—what I mean by a social machine, and the scholarly social machines ecosystem.
I close with a list of questions that could be workshop discussion points. Presented at the ESWC 2017 Workshop on Enabling Decentralised Scholarly Communication, Portorož - Portorose, May 2017.

Orientation of IT towards Human Being - the Paradigm (2016)Research Impulses
At the beginning of our Age of Information, the 21th century, the influence of IT (Information Technology) got so important that all parts of human live and society where involved. Especially Media Industry started a great hype which is not finished till now. Mobile Media have got a really up to date part of especially young society.
On the level of serious science it has been up to date to use the word Information in all reports and publishing papers. A lot of semantics have been used and some scientists (Prof. FLEISSNER, Prof HOFKIRCHNER, Prof. CAPURRO and the author) tried to abstract this word to a constant scientific term. So for first time the author tried a worldwide unifying definition of the terms Information and Data. It’s importance is documented by the topic “Information Scientific Axioms”.
In second part – based on it – Clues for generally evidence of Information are written down. They are a set of informationscientific terms - excerpted out of real nature and society. The way of Information between Object and Subject or involving Human Being in big and complex machine systems (aeroplanes, ships and industrial productions) made it necessary to think additionally about the general usage of Information. As a useful result many relationships to other sciences are possible. They bring the benefit to be unifying and scientifically worldwide structuring.
As next research object general forms of actual Information are investigated.
As final result for future the author asks: „How can we make Information – in all forms – more positive and precious for Human Being? “. This is a new, scientific topic for the future of IT and human society.

4th Amendment
The 4th amendment states: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized” (1).
The 4th Amendment protects people against unreasonable search and seizure of their person, property, and belongings. It also includes warrants. For example, it sets requirements for issuing warrants. A judge or magistrate must issue warrants, and they must be backed up by facts and supported under oath.
A government with extreme overreach would be difficult to live under. Therefore, the founding fathers included the 4th Amendment, which protects citizens from unreasonable and searches both warranted and warrantless.
Law Enforcement—Preliminary Investigation
As an example, police detectives have taken statements from an informant under oath pertaining to the whereabouts of a robbery suspect. The officers believe evidence exists at a certain location based on the informant’s statements and eyewitness testimony. They go to the court seeking a search warrant for that specific location and state their evidence to the judge. The judge then decides based on the facts.
The United States Supreme Court issued a 6-3 decision in 2015 in
Rodriguez v. United States. The Court held that Nebraska police violated Rodriguez’s 4th amendment rights when they extended an otherwise lawful traffic stop in order to let a drug-sniffing dog investigate the outside of the vehicle (2).

Assignment x Through reviewing the Olympic Messaging Syste.docxedmondpburgess27164
Assignment x
Through reviewing the Olympic Messaging System's system design methodology, the authors will
provide advice on when particular methodologies would be used and how long they would take. The
methodologies they focus on are the following: early focus on users and tasks, empirical measurement,
and iterative design. There is a fourth principle introduced later on, which they call the “Integrated
Usability Design”.
The authors utilized a huge amount of ideas in their pursuit of the design principles. They printed
scenarios of the interfaces, performed early iterative tests of user guides, preformed early simulations
and early demonstrations, made sure to have a representative for the Olympians, took tours of the
Olympic Village sites and had interviews with Olympians themselves, made oversea tests of the
Family/Friends interface, used a hallway and storefront technique, performed a prototype tests. They
also used unusual techniques such as a “Try to destroy it” test and a win a bear contest. Of course, all
of these ideas had a purpose.
Following the principles may have required more work in the beginning, but they greatly reduced the
work later on. The use of printed scenarios was helpful in showing the first definition of system
functions, the user interface, and hard to imagine deep system organizations. The scenarios also
identified conflicts that a list of functions could not do, allowed people to criticize where their
comments had most impact and changes could be made before code was written. Basically, it helped
them make decisions that were still being debated.
The early user guides were helpful in identifying issues and problems in system organization. When the
developers were performing early simulations, they utilized a Voice Toolkit that allowed them to debug
the user interface, conduct informal user experiments for the interfaces for both major user groups, and
provide demonstrations to raise comments from people. These early simulations also helped to develop
help messages and revealed how much a user should know to use the system.
Hallway methodology was an easy way to get participants for informal experiments, it was enjoyable,
accelerated the rate of progress, and other group members got a better feel for where their work fit in.
The prototype test performed in Yorktown was useful in debugging the system and user interfaces. It
also helped them fine tune of what was implemented in the OMS so far. The contest was useful in
displaying the usability for everyone and caught bugs as well. On the “try to destroy it” test, they were
able to figure how reliable the system was. The final prototype test they performed was useful in
learning how to interface OMS with the Los Angeles telephone network. All in all, the OMS was very
exportable.
The principles are worth following, but there are some consequences. It was sometimes
psychologically difficult .

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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

its goals, power structure, rules, its culture-arises
The shared idea in the minds of society, the
great big unstated assumptions—unstated
because unnecessary to state; everyone already
knows them—constitute that society’s paradigm,
or deepest set of beliefs about how the world
works.
-D. Meadows.

5. What paradigmatic assumptions do we follow?
There is a difference between nouns and verbs.
Money measures something real and has meaning.
(people who are paid less are literally worth less).
Growth is good.
Nature is a stock of resources to be converted for
human purposes.
One can own the land.

The ancient Egyptians built pyramids because they believed
in an afterlife. We build skyscrapers because we believe that
space in downtown cities is enormously valuable.

9. Who has changed paradigms?
Whether it was Copernicus and Kepler showing that the earth
is not the center of the universe
Or Einstein hypothesizing that matter and energy are
interchangable
Or Adam Smith postulating that the selfish actions of
individual players in markets wonderfully accumulate to the
common good
People who have managed to intervene in systems at the level
of paradigm have hit a leverage point that totally transforms
systems.

10. So how do you change paradigms?
D. Meadows paraphrasing Thomas Kuhn:
You keep pointing at the anomalies and failures in the old
paradigm, you keep speaking louder and with assurance from
the new one, you insert people with the new paradigm in
places of public visibility and power.
You don’t waste time with reactionaries; rather you work with
active change agents and with the vast middle groun of people
who are open minded.
