IoT Meetup Stockholm - Designing Connected ProductsMartin Charlier
Slides from my talk at IoT Meetup Stockholm about the book Designing Connected Products - UX for the consumer Internet of Thigns. This talk discussed how design is different when it comes to connected products.
Thanks to Claire Rowland, this talk builds on her recent talks and chapters in the book.
Sorting waste in the right way is an important part of our circular economy. All too often people doubt in which bin they have to put their waste. What if an app helps you with sorting? By combining AI and IoT technology in a gamification app that adds fun for users, we were able to realize an advertising platform for companies.

Igniting Next Level Productivity with AI-Infused Data Integration Workflows Safe Software
Learn where FME meets AI in this upcoming webinar to offer you incredible time savings. This webinar is tailored to ignite imaginations and offer solutions to your data integration challenges. As the new digital era sets sail on the winds of AI, the tangibility of its integration in our daily schema is unfolding.
Segment 1, titled “AI: The Good, the Bad and the FME” by Darren Fergus of Locus, navigates through the realms of AI, scrutinizing its pervasive impact while underscoring the symbiotic potential of FME and AI. Join in an engaging demonstration as FME and ChatGPT collaboratively orchestrate a PowerPoint narrative, epitomizing the alliance of AI with human ingenuity.
In Segment 2, “Integrating GeoAI Models in FME” by Dennis Wilhelm and Dr. Christopher Britsch of con terra GmbH, the spotlight veers towards operationalizing AI in our daily tasks through FME. A practical approach to embedding GeoAI Models into FME Workspaces is unveiled, showcasing the ease of incorporating AI-driven methodologies into your FME workflows, skyrocketing productivity levels.
To follow, Segment 3, "Unleash generative AI on your terms!" by Oliver Morris of Avineon-Tensing. While the prospects of Generative AI are thrilling, security and IT reservations, especially with 'phone home' tools, are genuine concerns. However, with open-source tools, you can locally harness large language models. In this demo, we'll unravel the magic of local AI deployment and its seamless integration into an FME workspace.
Bonus! Dmitri will join us for a fourth segment to tie us off, showcasing what he has been up to this week, including using OpenAI API for texturing in FME, amoung other projects.
Join us to explore the synergy of FME and AI: opening portals to a realm of revolutionized productivity and enriched user experiences.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.
Enhancing Research Orchestration Capabilities at ORNL.pdfGlobus
Cross-facility research orchestration comes with ever-changing constraints regarding the availability and suitability of various compute and data resources. In short, a flexible data and processing fabric is needed to enable the dynamic redirection of data and compute tasks throughout the lifecycle of an experiment. In this talk, we illustrate how we easily leveraged Globus services to instrument the ACE research testbed at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility with flexible data and task orchestration capabilities.
Listen to the keynote address and hear about the latest developments from Rachana Ananthakrishnan and Ian Foster who review the updates to the Globus Platform and Service, and the relevance of Globus to the scientific community as an automation platform to accelerate scientific discovery.
Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.

43. A many-layered Artificial Neural Network (~self-learning)
WHAT IS DEEP LEARNING?
“deep”
cs231n.github.io/neural-networks-1
“shallow”
44. (SIMPLE) NEURAL NETWORK
Each layer performs a
discrete function
Each neuron takes in
multiple inputs
≥ 1 input
neurons
≥ 1 output
neurons
≥ 1 hidden layers
Output “fires” if all
weighted inputs sum
to a set “threshold”
Each connection applies a
“weighted” influence on
the receiving neuron
Layers build on each other
(iterative)
Each input can
be a separate
“feature”
45. HOW MUCH IS A HOUSE WORTH?
Decisions based on combinations.
3 bedrooms
37 years old
1450 ft2
$191,172
Is it “old” or “historic?”
Is it “small” or “open floor plan?”
$32,108 per bedroom
$64,251 per acre
Need a lower weight for “old”
Apply initial
abstractions
