From the inception of Meucci's Teletroffono to the Theatrophon, first on-demand live events broadcasting service, Telecoms have always been a provider of life changing technologies. But since the rise of "Over
The Top" services (Viber, WhatsApp, Skype,etc.), and the duopolistic Google and Apples' app distribution channels, the Telecom industry has been severely challenged. In this session, after reviewing the main disruptions, we will provide scenarios on how the Telco value chain will change in the next 5 years. And show how the app economy, Open Source and APIs are going to lead the change in this industry.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Essentials of Automations: Optimizing FME Workflows with ParametersSafe Software
Are you looking to streamline your workflows and boost your projects’ efficiency? Do you find yourself searching for ways to add flexibility and control over your FME workflows? If so, you’re in the right place.
Join us for an insightful dive into the world of FME parameters, a critical element in optimizing workflow efficiency. This webinar marks the beginning of our three-part “Essentials of Automation” series. This first webinar is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills to utilize parameters effectively: enhancing the flexibility, maintainability, and user control of your FME projects.
Here’s what you’ll gain:
- Essentials of FME Parameters: Understand the pivotal role of parameters, including Reader/Writer, Transformer, User, and FME Flow categories. Discover how they are the key to unlocking automation and optimization within your workflows.
- Practical Applications in FME Form: Delve into key user parameter types including choice, connections, and file URLs. Allow users to control how a workflow runs, making your workflows more reusable. Learn to import values and deliver the best user experience for your workflows while enhancing accuracy.
- Optimization Strategies in FME Flow: Explore the creation and strategic deployment of parameters in FME Flow, including the use of deployment and geometry parameters, to maximize workflow efficiency.
- Pro Tips for Success: Gain insights on parameterizing connections and leveraging new features like Conditional Visibility for clarity and simplicity.
We’ll wrap up with a glimpse into future webinars, followed by a Q&A session to address your specific questions surrounding this topic.
Don’t miss this opportunity to elevate your FME expertise and drive your projects to new heights of efficiency.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.
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.
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.

13. Factors Inhibiting DRM Success*
Market: Architecture:
– Economic incentives – Technological innovation

– Commercial content must
compete with free/illegal
Norms: Laws:
– Users don’t see value in – Laws not amenable to
choices of offers technological implementation
– Norms distorted by
architecture (technology)
*Based on L. Lessig, Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace, 1999, pp. 88-90

Privacy and due process are important but become obstacles
Anticircumvention laws reduce incentive to develop effective
technologies
– Liability solely on the hacker

– Effectiveness of TPM/DRM irrelevant to applicability of law

24. Watermarking
Inserting/embedding data into “noise” portions of

Data capacity: typically a few dozen bytes
Technology appeared in mid-to-late 1990s
– First for digital images
– Audio and video later

25. Fingerprinting
Examining content to determine its identity
– Compute a set of numbers (“fingerprints”)
– Look up in database, see if there’s a match
Based on mathematical concept of hashing
– But allows for different files that look/sound the same
– Can compensate for certain transformations:
excerpting, cropping, audio distortion, etc.
