Seminar for undergrads at Parsons New School.
How does one identify opportunities to create new things, services, experiences? Are all innovations good? What is the history of innovation and how are innovative ideas and practices integrated in cultural practices? This course explores classic texts on entrepreneurship and innovation while also considering the role of the artist and design as an agent of change, and the nature and promise of technology in the creation of our possible future(s).
Collaborative groups and communities provide professional benefits and support development. Mastery, retention, reasoning strategies, and production of new ideas are higher in cooperative learning environments. Learning transfers from groups to individuals more effectively. Communities also support professional growth through references and experiences shared among members.
1) Annotation can help provide the best up-to-date knowledge to end users while preserving the historical record by involving experts in the knowledge creation and extraction process through crowd-sourcing annotation and semantic annotation.
2) While annotation is a useful tool, the answer to effectively sharing knowledge is not simple, as there are still many open issues around representation of knowledge and integration of data from different sources.
3) The presenter's past work with clinical practice guidelines and knowledge representation highlighted the importance of interaction between domain experts and knowledge engineers in developing structured knowledge representations, as well as the need for more explicit semantics through use of ontologies and linked data.

An Integrated Solution for Runtime Compliance Governance in SOAAliaksandr Birukou
In response to recent financial scandals (e.g. those involving Enron, Fortis, Parmalat), new regulations for protecting the society from financial and operational risks of the companies have been introduced. Therefore, companies are required to assure compliance of their operations with those new regulations as well as those already in place. Regulations are only one example of compliance sources modern organizations deal with every day. Other sources of compliance include licenses of business partners and other contracts, internal policies, and international standards. The diversity of compliance sources introduces the problem of compliance governance in an organization. In this paper, we propose an integrated solution for runtime compliance governance in Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs). We show how the proposed solution supports the whole cycle of compliance management: from modeling compliance requirements in domain-specific languages through monitoring them during process execution to displaying information about the current state of compliance in dashboards. We focus on the runtime part of the proposed solution and describe it in detail. We apply the developed framework in a real case study coming from EU FP7 project COMPAS, and this case study is used through the paper to illustrate our solution.
Diversity-aware search for people, content, events AND Diversity-aware hiring...Aliaksandr Birukou
The document discusses designing diversity-aware metrics for recommending scientific entities like researchers, papers, and events. It proposes metrics that consider dimensions like relevance, reputation, and diversity to surface a more well-rounded set of recommendations. The goal is to apply these metrics to applications like matching papers to reviewers and assigning conference talks to achieve more diverse perspectives.
The document discusses how social media and networking can benefit Toastmasters clubs. It begins with two explanatory videos about social networks and media. Various social media platforms are then introduced, including Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, and Meetup. The presentation emphasizes creating awareness of the club's brand, engaging people using media, and encouraging members to advocate for the club on their own networks. It provides tips for setting goals and experimenting with different tools to engage members and measure the club's success through social media metrics.
The slides of the invited talk Maurizio Marchese from the LiquidPub team gave at the Workhop on Automated Experimentation at e-Science Institute, Edinburgh, February 24th, 2010
An online survey of 96 IT decision makers from large enterprises and SMBs was conducted to understand their top technology priorities for 2014. The survey found that key business priorities like improving productivity and reducing expenses were top priorities across organization sizes. Most respondents said that specific company objectives would impact IT spending in 2014. The survey also found that hybrid cloud was of high interest among large enterprises, while software defined networking remains unclear to most. Information security and choosing the right technologies were among the top challenges cited.
The document discusses how digital technologies are driving revolutionary changes in scholarly communication and the role of libraries. It summarizes key concepts from thinkers like Clay Shirky, Clayton Christensen, Tyler Cowen, Michael Buckland, and Ronald Coase that are reshaping expectations and capabilities. Open access is highlighted as a disruptive innovation that may eventually replace traditional subscription models by making information cheaper and more accessible online. The roles and collections of libraries will continue to evolve away from their original paper-based functions as information becomes decentralized and available globally via digital networks.

This document discusses four phases of innovation: generate ideas, imagine new uses for existing ideas, frame non-industry ideas for your field, and test ideas. It provides examples of how innovators have applied ideas from other fields, such as using designs from nature to improve armor and buildings. The key is generating many ideas, including from novices without experience in the field, and combining ideas in novel ways, like applying wartime technology to civilians. Innovation happens through an iterative process of generating, imagining, framing, and testing ideas.
The document discusses reinventing project-based learning through designing real-world projects that mirror authentic professional work. Effective projects probe important matters, allow for ambiguity and multiple directions, develop skills beyond just understanding, and require students to take some kind of action. They should be appropriately sized. An example project is described that asks students to study Renaissance figures, choose the most deserving of an award based on criteria, and design a badge to present the award. The reinvented project emphasizes collaboration, research, creativity, synthesis, and presentation.
Prentice Hall introduction to The Art of Scientific Innovation Ahamed; LawrenceSyedAhamed63
"During the last century, most industries provided strong support for their research laboratories; in particular, there was a rapid expansion of research facilities after World War II. While a number of important innovations occurred in industrial laboratories, in recent years the support for industrial research has been shrinking. This book, The Art of Scientific Innovation: Cases of Classic Creativity, thus has come out at an appropriate time." Bishnu S Atal's comment regarding the importance of this 274-page book dealing with Inventions and Innovation in Industry and Academia.
(Professor Atal is a Member of NAS and a Recipient of the Franklin Award for his Seminal work in LPC and APC coding of speech.)
Published by Prentice Hall in 2005 as it was first published in 2004-2005 time frame.
The document discusses David Weinberger's book "Everything is Miscellaneous" which argues that traditional methods of organizing and classifying information break down in the digital world. Some key points are that digital information can be in multiple places at once, filtering should occur on output rather than input, and folksonomies or user-generated tags are better than top-down controlled classifications. The implications for education discussed include how digital sharing changes learning, assessments, and notions of authority.

This document discusses digital tools for humanists and their impact. It examines Douglas Engelbart's vision of augmenting human intellect with computers. While tools like Pliny aimed to help with tasks like annotation and note-taking, they have had little uptake by humanists. Reasons for both the success and failure of digital tools are considered, such as whether they address the actual work of humanists, their usability, and whether they reach the right audience. The document also references debates around what constitutes scholarly work and the role of interpretation in research.
Designing Collection Experiences: The Experience LibraryRoy Kenagy
This document discusses designing collection experiences in public libraries. It summarizes that public library collections work is about designing transformative experiences for readers. Readers experience collections as designed artifacts that afford practice, play, and learning. The document notes that public library collections are overwhelmingly focused on narrative materials rather than just information. The goal is for readers to engage in meaningful work by creating their own understandings and transformations through reading narratives in the collection.

Synthesizing knowledge from disagreement -cwi-2015-04-23jodischneider
The document discusses structuring evidence from online discussions to synthesize knowledge. It describes annotating a corpus of Wikipedia deletion discussions to identify key decision factors for determining what content should be included. These factors were then used to build a computer system that semantically enriches the discussion data and generates a summary organized by decision factor. A user test found the experimental system was preferred as it made the discussions and decisions easier to understand. The process demonstrates how identifying a community's evidence criteria can help structure information and support knowledge synthesis.
The training project was for pupils of the 9th form at Educational Complex #5 in Energodar from September 10 to October 15. The project aimed to extend pupils' vocabulary on science and inventions, practice using the passive voice, identify relationships between past and present inventions, and develop pupils' abilities to set goals, be creative, defend views, work in teams, and understand the importance of research. Pupils were split into groups to research how ancient inventions influenced civilization, examine new inventions, consider inventions' environmental impacts, analyze famous and unusual inventions, and create a website compiling their findings.

It addresses the rise of free and open data, differences between open data practices in the US and UK, and various data licensing options including open licenses like ODbL and Creative Commons as well as commercial licenses. Examples are provided of open data from government sources and how one person's metadata can be another's data.
Tableau Customer Conference - Geographic AnalysisIan White
This document summarizes a presentation on visualizing and customizing maps in Tableau. It discusses techniques for visualizing dynamic measures on a map by allowing the user to select different metrics to fill the map. It also covers cleaning up maps to only show a limited geographic area, filling maps using custom regions instead of default boundaries, and customizing map styles and colors. Demonstrations were provided of these mapping capabilities in Tableau.
Five years after his original talk about open access to transit data, Urban Mapping CEO Ian White laments the state of affairs around public access to government data and private parties manipulating what it means to have a public resource.
This document discusses big data and metadata. It provides a brief history of metadata from ancient times to present day. It also discusses how metadata and data were previously separate but are now being reunited through new technologies. The document advocates for the importance of data curation and having structured metadata to help make sense of the growing volumes of raw data.
Mapfluence is a San Francisco-based company founded in 2003 that provides an on-demand geocatalog of commercial, open, proprietary and custom data through a hosted mapping and data marketplace platform. It aggregates over 10,000 variables on topics like neighborhoods, transportation, climate and demographics. The platform offers web-based GIS functions, APIs to access and visualize spatial data, and tools to create custom maps and analyze relationships in the data. Mapfluence sees trends in 2011 towards widespread sensor data, real-time data applications, open data and challenges of data literacy as more information becomes available.
This document discusses Urban Mapping, a San Francisco-based company founded in 2006 that provides on-demand geoservices and spatial data via API. It sources, standardizes, and curates various types of proprietary spatial and attribute data, including neighborhood boundaries, transportation infrastructure, crime rates, demographics, and more. The document also discusses concepts like metadata, data modeling challenges, and the role of data curation in making raw data useful.
This document discusses issues around open data and access to public geographic datasets. It describes instances where government agencies denied requests for transit maps and GIS data, citing security concerns. However, the same information was publicly available elsewhere. The document also discusses legal cases around reasonable access to parcel data and whether data can be considered a trade secret. Overall it argues that claims of security risks are sometimes used as an excuse for bureaucratic restrictions on sharing public geographic information.
Urban Mapping is a San Francisco-based company founded in 2006 that focuses on collecting and providing high-quality geographic data via APIs. It offers services related to neighborhood boundaries, transit, parking, malls, and geotargeting. The document discusses how location data has become commoditized and the importance of providing additional context and relationships through services that associate data across various geographic hierarchies and over time. It describes Urban Mapping's "Mapfluence" geocoding and data serving platform which compiles millions of data cubes across themes and geographies for on-demand delivery via API.
The document discusses data presentation and geospatial data. It covers experimenting with new applications of existing technology, focusing on the medium and context of use when presenting data. It also discusses issues with representing locations and polygons with single points (centroids) and the need for problem maps that show meta-level understandings rather than just algorithms. The document advocates for an iterative design process focused on the user experience.
Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

Course Description
What makes something new or original? How do you spot new opportunities to
create new things, services or experiences? How do you determine whether another
innovation is actually a good thing? What is the history of innovation and how are
innovative ideas and practices integrated in cultural practices? This course explores
classic texts on entrepreneurship and innovation while also considering the role of
the artist and design as an agent of change, and the nature and promise of
technology in the creation of our possible future(s).
Innovation seminar is a required course for students in the Department of Design &
Management. This course will help you understand the role of innovation in society
from a multidisciplinary perspective. Over the semester, we will examine various
models of innovation and their impact across different markets and groups, with
particular emphasis on management decision making. By the end of the course, you
will have acquired the tools to critically analyze discrete topics and ideas within the
larger sea of thought.
Classes will be a combination of lecture and discussion designed to engage
students. Reading assignments will serve as the basis for class discussions. Writing
assignments will act as a means to synthesize material. An oral presentation will
foster further collaboration in the classroom setting. During the course of the
semester, several guest lecturers will join our section, or in conjunction with other
sections of this departmental seminar.

Final Grade Calculation
Attendance/class participation 30%
Final presentation 40%
Essays (2) 30%
Essays
Written assignments should be 4-6 typed pages in length and not less than 1,000
words. These assignments will allow you to explore material to a greater degree
than is possible in class. You are expected to consult with sources other than those
required for this course. It is strongly encouraged that you refer to recommended
texts (listed above) and perform your own research based on your own interests.
You must adhere to MLA style. Topics will be discussed and assigned during class.
Essays must be submitted in printed form at the beginning of class. Electronic
submissions are not permitted unless you have received prior authorization from
me.
Presentations
Developing a point of view and orally sharing it with an audience is an important
practice. Doing so will help you assimilate material, develop a cogent argument and
persuasively present your position. For this course, presentations will help you
accomplish three objectives: working collaboratively (presentations will be given by
teams of 2-3 students), clearly and concisely presenting a point of view and defend
that position to your peers.
Presentations will take place during the final two class sessions. Each presentation
will be 25 minutes in total length. This includes 15 minutes of presentation time
and 10 minutes of question and answer. Presentations will be oral and
supplemented with visual aids, where useful. It is expected that you will use design
and presentation tools learned in other areas of your curriculum. PowerPoint, Flash,
Illustrator, etc. are some of the tools you may wish to use. Please note that this is
not designed as a multimedia presentation to showcase your design/technology
skills. Rather, these tools are designed to help support your presentations. Order
will be determined by the instructor.
Reading
Please note that assigned material has been developed with you in mind; this
means simply reading will not ensure adequate preparation. You must critically
read and prepare articles for class discussion. It is presumed you have the ability to
summarize an article or reading. To ensure proper preparation, it is suggested you
use a pen to jot notes in the margins. After reading articles, construct a narrative
from your notes. Then seek to form your own opinion—do you agree with the
author? Why? What examples from your experience stand contrary to the author’s
point of view? Stepping back from the material, thinking about it in a new light
and then re-approaching it may often yield useful insights.
Grading Criteria
Work that does not adhere to the minimum terms (length, due date, etc.) set out in
the assignment will not receive a passing grade. Failing papers may also include
those that are incoherent, or that consist almost entirely of quotations from outside
sources.
6. Innovation Seminar Page 6
For the purposes of evaluating your class participation, papers and oral assignment,
the distinctions between the various passing letter grades should be based on the
following:
D – Adheres to all of the general guidelines of formatting, page-length, and the
minimum terms of the assignment. Written work receiving a “D” grade may be a
simple restatement of fact or commonly-held opinion. Work at this level tends to
put forward obviously contradictory or conflicting points of view. “D” grades may
also have serious organizational and grammatical errors in evidence, which may or
may not impede the reader’s ability to understand the author’s point.
C – These are average grades. They will demonstrate some success in engaging with
the assigned readings or material. The work will show that the student can identify
and work with key terms and passages in a text and apply them to ideas and
examples found in other texts, or other outside material. Additionally, the paper
and presentation will demonstrate effort in the areas of analysis and critical
thinking by posing an interesting problem or question. Typical of a C, however, is
that the original problem or question, once asked, does not move the paper
forward. Often, there is no real solution given, or there is a variety of possible
solutions put forward without a clear sense of where the author’s commitment lies.
This grade may also have significant organizational, grammatical and/or editorial
errors in evidence. These errors may periodically impede the reader’s ability to
understand the author’s point, or may lead to a paper that seems repetitive or
circular.
B – These are above average grades. The B grade does everything a C does, but
offers a sustained and meaningful structure to a critical endeavor that is more
complex than a paper at the C level. What also distinguishes a B paper is the
author’s ability to offer a unique insight, to ask questions of primary or secondary
source material, and/or to set up a debate between texts or points of view. The
author’s point of view is clear and an argument is sustained fairly consistently
throughout the work. Recipients of these grades are logically organized, and also
respond to the assignment in thoughtful and distinctive ways. Although minor
grammatical and editorial errors may be present, they are under control and do not
impede meaning or clarity in the paper.
A – These are exceptionally good papers that go above and beyond the
expectations and requirements set forth in the assignment. They demonstrate
substantial effort and achievement in the areas of critical thinking and scholarship.
They also demonstrate considerable interpretive connections between concrete
ideas or textual moments, a high level of analysis, and flexibility of argument. The
argument or point of view that is offered is consistent throughout the paper, and
governs the use and interpretation of all examples, and primary and/or secondary
source material. “A” papers are very well organized, and are free of grammatical
and editorial errors.

Policies
Students are responsible for all assignments, even if they are absent. Late papers,
failure to complete the readings assigned for class discussion, and lack of
preparedness for in-class discussions and presentations will jeopardize your
successful completion of this course. It is extremely important that you not fall
behind in your work, given the rapid pacing of this course.
This is a discussion/workshop class rather than a lecture course. Therefore, the
success of this class depends on you as well as on me. Class participation is an
essential part of this class and includes: keeping up with reading, contributing
meaningfully to class discussions, active participation in group work, and coming to
class regularly and on time. Excessive or repeated instances of lateness may be
counted as absences.
Regular, on-time class attendance is extremely important. Students with repeated
absences and/or lateness for any reason risk a substantial negative impact to their
grade, including failure. Students who have three or more absences risk failing the
course.
Use of the university portal will be an important component of this class. Regular
participation in periodic online assignments and discussion is extremely important.
However, participation in the online environment will not be considered a
replacement or substitution for active, in-class participation.
In rare instances, I may be delayed arriving to class. If I have not arrived by the time
class is scheduled to start, you must wait a minimum of thirty minutes for my
arrival. In the event that I will miss class entirely, a sign will be posted at the
classroom indicating your assignment for the next class meeting.
Free tutoring is available through the office of Academic Advising. Time spent with
a tutor is time well spent as it allows you to work on specific issues in your writing,
which may not be addressed in class. The office of Academic Advising is located on
the 5
th
floor in the 2 West 13
th
Street building.
I encourage you to contact me with any questions about the material or anything
else course-related. The best way to reach me is via email. I commit to respond to
you within 24 hours. To ensure my availability, please contact me to make an
appointment.

New School University Statement on Academic Integrity
Plagiarism and cheating of any kind in the course of academic work will not be
tolerated. Academic honesty includes accurate use of quotations, as well as
appropriate and explicit citation of sources in instances of paraphrasing and
describing ideas, or reporting on research findings or any aspect of the work of
others (including that of instructors and other students). These standards of
academic honesty and citation of sources apply to all forms of academic work
(examinations, essays, theses, computer work, art and design work, oral
presentations, and other projects).
It is the responsibility of students to learn the procedures specific to their
discipline for correctly and appropriately differentiating their own work from
that of others. Compromising your academic integrity may lead to serious
consequences, including (but not limited to) one or more of the following: failure
of the assignment, failure of the course, academic warning, disciplinary probation,
suspension from the university, or dismissal from the university.
Every student at Parsons signs an Academic Integrity Statement as a part of the
registration process. Thus, you are held responsible for being familiar with,
understanding, adhering to and upholding the spirit and standards of academic
integrity as set forth by the Parsons School of Design Student Handbook.
