citizen science - a brief introduction Muki Haklay
Presentation by Muki Haklay in a participatory virtual workshop June 2020. The presentation provided an overview of the types of activities that fall under the umbrella term citizen science - from activities that people do at home using the computers and the internet (volunteer computing or volunteer thinking) to ecological monitoring of landscape change in an opportunistic way. The presentation also pointed out to the multiple goals of citizen science projects - from engaging people in environmental issues, to providing opportunities to disadvantaged groups in society. The level of participation across projects was also highlighted, indicating that as requirements and knowledge increase, the number of people that are currently engaged in citizen science project decreases.

Platforms for Citizen Science - ExCiteS experienceMuki Haklay
Muki Haklay has experience developing several citizen science mapping platforms over the past 20 years, including Community Maps, GeoKey, and Sapelli. These platforms have evolved from early desktop GIS systems to modern web-based and mobile apps that allow collaborative mapping. Some key insights are that infrastructure systems have a longevity of around 5 years before needing redesign, engaging communities requires both digital and paper tools, and balancing research goals with reliable software can be challenging. Maintaining these types of platforms requires ongoing development and technical support.
This document discusses citizen science projects across different domains and levels of participation. It provides an overview of citizen science activities and the relationship between scientists and the public. It also positions citizen science within the context of public engagement, using an example from the DITOs project. Finally, it introduces the next step of the EU-Citizen.Science project.
Citizen Science in Open Science context: measuring & understanding impacts of...Muki Haklay
Citizen science has grown rapidly in recent decades due to societal and technological trends. It includes a wide range of activities across disciplines. While not all participants want deep engagement, citizen science can involve fully participatory research processes. It is gaining recognition from the public and policymakers. Evaluation of citizen science projects requires sensitivity, as rigid criteria may exclude some activities or newcomers. Overall, citizen science shows potential for increasing scientific literacy and knowledge while achieving important research goals.
Extreme Citizen Science technologies: attempting to embed values in codeMuki Haklay
Extreme Citizen Science (ExCiteS) is a situated, bottom-up practice that takes into account local needs, practices and culture and works with broad networks of people to design and build new devices and knowledge creation processes that can transform the world. The ExCiteS group at UCL was set up to support the implementation of this concept through the development of theories, methodologies, processes, and technologies that allow any community, regardless of (technical) literacy, to engage in citizen science projects that produce results that are meaningful and useful for them. Stemming from theoretical foundations in participatory action research and public participation geographic information systems (PPGIS), our technologies are designed to carry values with them. Once we visit these values, we can see how they turn into code, and ask how successful these efforts are, using cases in the Amazon, Congo-basin, Namibia, UK, and Malta.

The persistent environmental digital divide(s) -RGS-IBG 2018Muki Haklay
Over 25 years ago, as the web was emerging as a medium for distributing public information, it was promoted as a tool for increased democratisation. From the age of dial-up modem and PCs to the use of mobile phones and smartphones, concerns about digital divides and how they impact the ability of local participation in environmental decision making never resolved. These digital divides are creating a tapestry of marginalisation through different devices, skills, and communication potentials, and it is valuable to reflect on their dimensions – both technical and social, and consider how we can consider them in a systematic way. The talk will attempt to reflect on technological and social changes and the attempts to address them.

This document discusses citizen science and inclusiveness. It outlines a spectrum of citizen science projects from volunteer computing and thinking to DIY science. It discusses the educational attainment levels of participants in different projects, noting gender and education imbalances. The document contrasts passive inclusiveness, where projects do not intentionally create obstacles to participation, with assertive inclusiveness, where outreach is done to underrepresented groups. Passive inclusiveness has lower costs but may focus on more educated groups, while assertive inclusiveness aims for more social benefits through greater engagement and empowerment of marginalized communities. Citizen science offers opportunities to study inclusion, but tensions exist regarding participation and what inclusiveness means.

The role of learning in citizen scienceMuki Haklay
This is a presentation from the citizen science impact event at the Open University http://www.open.ac.uk/blogs/opentel/citizen-science-impact-event-at-the-open-university/
Citizen science offer different levels of engagement to participants, which have been captured in typologies of the field (contributory, collaborative, co-created, collegial / crowdsourcing, distributed intelligence, participatory science, extreme citizen science). These typologies do no explicitly examine learning. At the same time, projects and activities striving to fulfil multiple goals (excellent scientific output, satisfying engagement, good recruitment, learning …). Within ythe range of citizen science project, we can consider different aspects of learning that are occurring in them, Projects and use examples from a range of project, and raise some aspects that can help those who are designing co-created projects.
The Willing Volunteer – Incorporating Voluntary Data into National DatabasesMuki Haklay

Examining the values that are embedded in the processes and technologies of p...Muki Haklay
A persistent question about participatory methodologies that rely on technologies, such as public participation geographic information systems (PPGIS), is how to integrate values, such as inclusiveness of all the people that are impacted by a decision, or identifying options that are popular by the majority but acceptable to the minority, within technologically focused projects. Moreover, technologies do not operate by themselves – they are embedded in organizational, political, and social processes that set how they are used, who can use them, and in what context. Therefore, we should explore where the values reside?
Two factors obscure our view: The misleading conceptualisation that technologies are value free, and can be used for good or for bad – which put all the weight on the process, and ignores the way in which any technology allow only certain actions to be taken. Another popular view of technology conceptualisation is to emphasise their advantages (upside) and ignore their limitations. If we move beyond these, and other “common sense” views of technologies, we can notice how process and technology intertwine.
We can therefore look at the way the process/technology reinforce and limit each other, and the way that the values are integrated and influence them. With this analysis, we can also consider how technological development can explicitly include considerations of values, and be philosophically, politically, and social-theory informed. We need to consider the roles, skills, and knowledge of the people that are involved in each part of the process – from community facilitation to software development.
The paper will draw on the experience of developing participatory geographic information technologies over the past 20 years, and will suggest future directions for values-based participatory technology development.
Into the Night - Technology for citizen scienceMuki Haklay
Current citizen science seems effortless...just download an app and start using it. However, there are many technical aspects that are necessary to make a citizen science project work. In this session, we will provide an overview of all the technical elements that are required - from the process of designing an app., to designing and managing a back-end system, to testing the system end to end before deployment. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a short exercise to consider the design of an app for a citizen science project that addresses light pollution.
Into the Night - Citizen Science Training day - introduction to citizen scienceMuki Haklay
This document provides an introduction to environmental citizen science projects. It discusses different types of citizen science, including contributory projects where the public contributes data designed by scientists, collaborative projects where the public helps design the project, and co-created projects designed by scientists and the public together. The document outlines considerations for setting up a citizen science project, such as balancing goals of increasing awareness, collecting data, and education. It also discusses recruiting and retaining participants, as well as evaluating projects for their scientific and societal impacts.
Haw GIScience lost its interdisciplinary mojo?Muki Haklay
These are the slides from my talk at the GISCience 2016 conference. There is more information on my blog, but the abstract is:
Over the past 25 years, I have experienced an inside track view of two interdisciplinary research fields: Geographical Information Science (GIScience) and Citizen Science. Over that period, I was also involved in about 20 multidisciplinary, cross-disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary projects. As a result, I also found myself evaluating and funding x-disciplinary projects.
On the basis of these experiences, I’d argue that Interdisciplinarity is always hard, risky, require compromises, accommodations, listening, and making mistakes. The excitement from the outputs and outcomes does not always justify the price. Frequently, there is no-follow on project – it’s been too exhausting.
Considering the project level challenges, viewing interdisciplinary areas of studies emerging is especially interesting. You can notice how concepts are being argued and agreed on. You can see what is inside and what is outside, and where the boundary is drawn. You can see how methodologies, jargon, acceptable behaviour, and modes of operations get accepted or rejected – and from the inside, you can nudge the field and sometimes see the impact of your actions.
GIScience was born as an interdisciplinary field of study, and the period of consolidation that I have seen was supposed to lead to stability and growth. This did not happen. Take any measure that you like: size of conferences, papers – or even the argument if the field deserve a Wikipedia page. Something didn’t work.
In contrast, Citizen Science is already attracting to its conferences audience in the many hundreds – the Citizen Science Association include 4000 (free) members, The European Citizen Science Association 180 (paid) – and that is in the first 2 years since they’ve established.
In the talk, I explore the way in which interdisciplinary projects and fields work, highlight the similarities and differences, and suggest the issues that have led to the outcomes that we see today

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.

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).
