This document discusses socio-economic issues related to the future internet. It explores perspectives from both researchers who study the internet and technologists who build the internet. Some key topics discussed include converged networks and internet-connected devices, online identity and privacy, challenges around infrastructure control and regulation, and who the important stakeholders are in these areas.
Introducing the Internet of Things: lecture @IULM UniversityLeandro Agro'
This document discusses the Internet of Things (IoT) and how connected devices and sensors will continue to proliferate and connect physical objects to the internet. It notes that while internet access is widespread, the number of connected objects is still small compared to unconnected objects. It envisions that the next revolution will be connecting previously unconnected objects and networks of sensors. It discusses how technologies like mobile phones, social networks, open hardware, and self-tracking are enabling more connectivity between people, devices, and data. The size of the IoT market is forecasted to grow exponentially in the coming years.
The panel discussion focused on i-Waterfront's plan to provide a billion bits per second broadband network along Toronto's waterfront. The panel included representatives from Windsor and Essex County Smart Community, the University of Windsor, i-CANADA West, Alcatel-Lucent, and Rhyzome Networks. They discussed creating an ultra-fast fibre-optic network that would lead the city into the 21st century and provide ultra-high-speed broadband access for waterfront communities at an affordable price. Newspapers articles were cited that praised the plan to wire the waterfront with a smart, ultra-broadband communications infrastructure that would serve as the foundation for innovation in the region.
Towards user co-creation of value on the Internet-of-Things (IoT)trappenl
With the promise of an Internet-of-Things, an abundance of connected smart objects around us will collaborate to deliver us novel services that we couldn’t have dreamt of before. But, how should we, as an industry, prepare for this? How can we create (new) value for our customers?
Let’s start with some history. In the last years, the general availability of creation tools and distribution mechanisms for digital media has resulted in a so-called long tail of user created digital artefacts complementing the commercial offering of online media. Everyone can now create movies and put them on YouTube. A similar trend is ongoing for web resources where toolkits for creating mash-ups are complemented with online communities for sharing APIs and code.
I will present some inhibiting factors that prevent this wave of mass creativity to start in the world of connected Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. How can people trust services delivered by the IoT? How can they understand the services delivered to them by the smart environment? And, finally, how can users actively participate in this Internet-of-Things, as they do now on the Web?
I will zoom into this last aspect by addressing the required tools and sharing mechanisms for non-technical users to participate and co-create value on the Internet-of-Things. I will use SenseTale.com as one example trying to fill this gap. SenseTale is a live research prototype resulting from multi-disciplinary research that offers an online marketplace for IoT applications, real-time data and user created high-level abstractions thereof. SenseTale offers a first glimpse of a 3-sided marketplace where creative users, developers, and device manufacturers meet.
The document discusses challenges and opportunities for smart cities in Europe based on findings from the FIREBALL project. It notes that European cities are developing strategies for becoming smarter that emphasize open innovation ecosystems, citizen empowerment, and new forms of public-private partnerships. Key challenges identified include bridging digital skills gaps, linking technology development to real-world applications, and supporting entrepreneurship. Living labs and open city platforms are recommended to address these challenges by involving citizens in co-creating internet-based services and testing innovations in real-life contexts.
This document discusses the need for an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the future of the internet, called "Internet Science". It proposes creating a Network of Excellence to support multidisciplinary research and education in internet-related fields. The goals would be to understand how technological changes impact society and to design networks that enable positive social outcomes. An "internet scientist" profile would combine expertise from areas like networking, sociology, law, economics and more. Activities may include workshops, schools, researcher exchanges and defining priority research areas.

This document discusses how technology is changing the nature of business and work. It argues that offices and traditional work models are becoming outdated as technology enables new flexible and distributed ways of working. The future of work involves ubiquitous connectivity, intelligent environments, and putting users and communities at the center. Organizations must embrace these digital transformations and rethink their strategies, operations, and talent to remain competitive in this new landscape.
Beyond the Internet: Seamless Global CommunicationJerry Fishenden
This document discusses the evolution of communication technologies from the agrarian revolution to the emerging digital revolution enabled by ubiquitous computing and hyperconnectivity. Key points include:
- By 2012 there will be 17 billion networked devices connecting everything from appliances to cars to computers.
- Emerging technologies allow for seamless communication between people, machines, and things through wireless sensors, RFID, and embedded devices.
- This hyperconnectivity is driving convergence of networks and devices but also divergence of new experiences and organizational models.
- The mobile device has become the focal point of convergence due to its ability to keep people constantly connected to information.
Digital technology now forms a central part of our everyday lives. It can be found in the majority of objects and services that we use every day, including the Internet, computers, mobile phones, cameras, portable music players, televisions, game consoles and GPS receivers, but it is also hidden away, sometimes in a less visible manner, in vehicles, industrial tools, medical devices, decision support systems, etc.
In the space of barely a few years, all these technologies have already profoundly changed our lives, to the point of becoming indispensable. They will continue to do so in the future, thanks to applications that are currently being developed. This is the route taken by researchers at Inria, a public research body, which is inventing the digital world of the future.
Is there such a thing as the internet of things !Pierre Metivier
This document provides an introduction to the Internet of Things (IoT). It discusses how the IoT has evolved from concepts of ubiquitous computing introduced in 1988 and coining of the term "Internet of Things" in 1999. The IoT involves connecting physical objects to the internet and embedding sensors and intelligence in everyday objects to generate and exchange data. This enables objects, people, and computers to interact and take actions based on data. Key components of connected objects include sensors, intelligence, user interfaces, power, connectivity, and context. The growth of the IoT is generating large amounts of data ("Big Data") that can provide benefits if privacy and security of individuals are protected. Standards continue to develop for IoT connectivity and interaction though no
The document discusses different value creation logics including the industrial logic focused on economies of scale, standardization, and automation; the dream society logic prioritizing emotions and branding over functionality; the creative man logic emphasizing individualized production and innovation; and the knowledge society logic centered around developing and commercializing new knowledge. It also examines trends like digitalization, decentralization, and the transition towards more diverse, personalized, and experience-based forms of production and consumption.
ICIS Final Panel - The Rise of ICT-distributed collective intelligenceRobin Teigland
Panel at International Conference on Information Systems in Paris, France December 2008. Looks at the rise of ICT-distributed collective intelligence in relationship to Multinational Corporations
Community marketing used to involve direct contact through local communities. This approach struggled to scale. Traditional marketing approaches further separated brands from communities. The rise of social media now allows both scale and direct contact through online communities. Building a successful online community requires understanding member interests and roles, as well as engineering the community structure before focusing on marketing goals.
This document discusses how Web 2.0 and social media have changed marketing and community engagement. It notes that consumers now trust recommendations from people they know and opinions posted online more than branded advertising. This represents a shift from brands controlling the message to audiences now having more control over what news and information spreads due to social sharing. The document also cautions that new technologies take time to be fully adapted and applied.
Relinquishing Control: Creating Space for Open Innovationfrog
The document discusses open innovation through relinquishing control and creating open systems. It argues that innovation occurs through flows of information, energy, material, and behavior within networks of people and things. True open innovation involves open delivery systems that allow others to build upon your work, open experiences that let users build their own ideal path across channels, and open design processes that include users or let them design themselves. Fully open systems maximize innovation potential by combining open social and technological networks.
Identity REvolution multi disciplinary perspectivesKarlos Svoboda
The identity [r]evolution is happening. Who are
you, who am I in the information society ?
In recent years, the convergence of several factors – technological, political, economic –
has accelerated a fundamental change in our networked world. On a technological level, information
becomes easier to gather, to store, to exchange
and to process. The belief that more information
brings more security has been a strong political
driver to promote information gathering since September 11. Profiling intends to transform information into knowledge in order to anticipate one’s behaviour, or needs, or preferences. It can lead to
categorizations according to some specific risk criteria, for example, or to direct and personalized
marketing. As a consequence, new forms of identities appear. They are not necessarily related to our
names anymore. They are based on information,
on traces that we leave when we act or interact,
when we go somewhere or just stay in one place,
or even sometimes when we make a choice. They
are related to the SIM cards of our mobile phones,
to our credit card numbers, to the pseudonyms
that we use on the Internet, to our email addresses,
to the IP addresses of our computers, to our profiles… Like traditional identities, these new forms of
identities can allow us to distinguish an individual
within a group of people, or describe this person as
belonging to a community or a category.

• All human societies are results of cooperation
• Competition enables natural selection in times of
abundance
• Cooperation allows for survival in times of scarcity

9. Future Internet & sustainability:
an ethical question?
• We are facing the convergence of multiple crises
• Financial, Environmental, Energy, Social
• How can Internet help the transition towards a more
sustainable future?
• Environmental-friendly way of living
• Product ranking, Life footprint, efficiency
• Sustainable economic development
• Empowering people, new market models, new IPR
• Participative global governance
• Based on cooperation, sharing, low-cost access
10. What is "Collective Awareness"?
• Gathering of big data about what's going on and
other people's actions
• From humans as well as from sensors
• Made available to all citizens as open data
• Enriched and interrelated with other sources of
information/statistics/simulations
• Providing an extended awareness of the social world,
the environment and the consequences of our
actions, nudging our behaviours towards:
• Environmental-friendly lifestyles
• New economic models
• Participative global governance “Tell me and I'll forget;
show me and I may remember;
involve me and I'll understand.”
(Chinese proverb)
11. What are
"Collective Awareness Platforms"?
• Using collective awareness to support better informed
and sustainability-aware decisions
• affecting behaviours at individual and/or collective level
• faster and more effectively than traditional "advice"
• in specific or generic "platforms"
• Based on converging trends:
– IoT - collecting data from environment
– Social networks - interaction
– Wikis – coproduction of new knowledge
12. Approach
• Harnessing the ICT network effect
– to create collective intelligence
• Sustainability as a goal
– beyond GDP, Low Carbon economy, natural resources,
social equality, inclusion
• Behavioural changes
– At personal, collective and corporate levels
– Self-regulation based on collective awareness
• Bottom-up
– And coordinated
• Beyond commercially-driven platforms
– That can produce new business models
and (social) innovation
13. What changes can CAPS achieve?
• More balanced food, better health
– ranking/labelling/customised advice/social feedback
• Low carbon, energy savings
– Sustainable consumption, environmental monitoring…
• Smart Cities
– Social innovation, smart transport, emergency…
• Safer, better Internet
– Crowdsourcing, open social media
• New democracy, participation
• Politics, inclusion, youth, elderly…
14. An example: "The Eatery"
• tracking the feeding habits of millions of people through mobile
phone cameras
• Correlating this massive data with healthiness indicators
• generating precise and personalised suggestions to improve
individual habits or diets
• Instead of traditional nutritional advice
• sharing and comparing individual food preferences over social
networks
• Exploiting peer pressure to drive durable
behavioural changes
network effect: healthiness as well as obesity
can be "contagious"!!!
15. more examples…
• Collaborative Consumption: lending, exchange, swapping and bartering made to operate at
scale, across geographic boundaries
• Airbnb: rent a place from other people
• Freecycle: grassroots movement of people giving stuff for free
• Getting facts/evidence from citizens for better decision making (at personal or institutional levels)
• Safecast: collecting data about radiation through individual devices
• Alliance for useful evidence, embedding evidence in the decision making process
• Crowdmap (based on Ushahidi), to collect and map information from cellphones, news and the web
• Localmind: to send questions and receive answers about what is going on—right now—at places you
care about
• Driving sustainable behaviours and lifestyles
• Nike+ FuelBand: tracks physical activity through a wearable accelerometer and syncs up with a
motivational web and mobile experience
• Urban Eco Map: encouraging eco-conscious decision-making at a local level
• Developing alternative collaborative approaches to problem solving
• Kickstarter, Opengenius: open-source crowdfunding platforms for startups or scientific research
