MIT Enterprise Forum of Cambridge Connected Things panel: IoT in Motion
Today things are in constant motion, creating the need to track and trace, not only an items location, but to understand the entire journey- temperature, pressure, humidity. Today pallets, cases, cartons and boxes are all being tagged joining the world of IOT enabled devices. Billions of dollars are wasted on lost items, spoiled food and improperly handled pharmaceuticals, but by deploying IoT related solutions provides each of these items with a “voice” to capture and play back their journey.
The end game is to create an IoT network with a clear vision from beginning to the end is enabled, effectively creating the concept of a “glass pipeline” where visibility and data is available throughout an items journey.

The world has developed faster than humans even imagined it to. It is coming to a stage where almost everything is beginning to depend on internet. So, what exactly is Internet of Things? Anything and everything which can be assigned an IP address and provided the ability to transfer data can be branched under internet of things.
While it is still a human who operates a computer, when it comes to storing and remembering data, a computer might perform better. This being said, humans have become completely dependent on a system in every walk of their life. Some companies have utilized this opportunity and also leveraged it to derive profits. This has also helped people keep track of latest happenings, of things that they like and more.
How will contextual technology influence the way we live and work in the future?

We live in the digital age where everything is touched and connected by technology. The invisibility of digital technology has produced a distinctively new generation defined by digital media the digital natives. Digital natives are people who have grown up using technology from early childhood. They are the new citizens of the digital world. It is difficult to predict the exact impact of the technologies on digital natives. However, emerging technologies are poised to transform digital natives shortly. Matthew N. O.

All of the necessary technologies and communications standards exist today for voice communications that are as secure as OpenPGP email. Both proprietary and open source solutions exist for desktop and mobile devices that implement the necessary bits to provide a solution without dependence upon one global service provider. ostel.me provides both a service and an application for the Android OS that is only marginally more complex to use than dialing an existing phone number, while still based entirely on open standards like SIP and ZRTP. The app is experimental and is based on existing open source client code provided by the CSipSimple, pjsip, and zrtp4pj projects.
The future of digital identity 2019 future agendaFuture Agenda
How we prove that we are who or what we say we are during digital transactions and interactions is set to become one of the defining features of the next stage of the human digital transformation. Today, we are living with early attempts to solve the problem that are no longer fit for purpose. At best, the multitude of different ways we login, confirm our identities, and establish trust in claims made during digital exchanges, has become profoundly inconvenient. At worst, they have left us in a connected world which is neither safe nor secure, and in which we seem to have completely lost control of our most personal information. The next generation solutions to the digital identity challenge could change all of this.
In the short term, new solutions are likely to move us towards the promise of a single Digital ID that allows us to simply, safely and securely navigate a connected world.
Looking further forward, the changes could be even more profound. The ways that we digitally manage, share and verify our personal information could well come to completely redefine the human digital experience. Current digital business models that seem immutable could collapse. Centres of digital power might shift radically. And the current personal data ‘land grab’ could be replaced by a new digital norm in which individuals can finally make meaningful claims to data ownership and control.
However, there are a number of potentially calamitous pitfalls to navigate along the way. Some of these could lead to whole new kinds of digital dystopia.
At the end of 2018, Future Agenda undertook a major project exploring the Future of Digital Identity. With the generous support of Mastercard, the Future Agenda team ran a series of expert workshops in different locations around the world that explored the key factors that are likely to shape the future of digital identity. The programme began with an initial perspective as a provocation. Participants in the workshops then gave us new, more fully formed, insights which were in turn explored further during one-to-one interviews with major stakeholders and thinkers in the space.

EOOH: the Development of a Multiplatform and Multilingual Online Hate Speech ...Anand Sheombar
Presentation of paper at IIMA 2022 conference. Abstract of the paper:
Purpose: This short paper describes the dashboard design process for online hate speech monitoring for multiple languages and platforms.
Methodology/approach: A case study approach was adopted in which the authors followed a research & development project for a multilingual and multiplatform online dashboard monitoring online hate speech. The case under study is the project for the European Observatory of Online Hate (EOOH).
Results: We outline the process taken for design and prototype development for which a design thinking approach was followed, including multiple potential user groups of the dashboard. The paper presents this process's outcome and the dashboard's initial use. The identified issues, such as obfuscation of the context or identity of user accounts of social media posts limiting the dashboard's usability while providing an important trade-off in privacy protection, may contribute to the discourse on privacy and data protection in (big data) social media analysis for practitioners.
Research limitations/implications: The results are from a single case study from the dashboard development's first one and half years. Still, they may be relevant for other social listening or online hate speech detection and monitoring projects involving big data analysis and human annotation.
Practical implications: The study emphasises the need to involve diverse user groups and a multidisciplinary team in developing a dashboard for online hate speech. The context in which potential online hate is disseminated and the network of accounts distributing or interacting with that hate speech seems relevant for analysis by a part of the user groups of the dashboard.
Keywords: online hate speech, social media analysis, big data, anonymisation, social listening.

Reflections On Social Media Use Along The Academic Research Life CycleAnand Sheombar
This short paper presentation at 12th IADIS International Conference on Information Systems (IS 2019) argues for the need for discussion on the role social media could have in the research life cycle, particularly for Information Systems (IS) scholars. ICTs are pervasive, and their societal impact is profound. Various disciplines including those of social sciences are present in the online discourse and join the public debate on societal implications of ICTs and scholar are familiar with web tools for publishing. Information Systems scholars could not only further explore the possibilities for joining that online discourse, but also could explore the potential social media may have for activities related to the research life cycle. In this paper we do not focus solely on social media as a data collection source but regard their merits as a channel for scholarly communication throughout the whole research life cycle, from the start of getting inspired to conduct a research, finding collaboration partners or funding, through suggestions for literature, to the stage of research dissemination and creating impact beyond the own scientific community. This paper contributes an original approach to research communication by combining the research life cycle with practical insights of how social media can be applied throughout each phase of that lifecycle. We conclude with some questions debating the stance that (future) IS scholars are prepared to become the digital scholar that can manoeuvre well on social media for scholarly communication.
Applicability Assessment Framework for Organisational Social Media Use by Dev...Anand Sheombar
Poster accompanying short conference paper that suggests an initial applicability framework based on earlier research and the literature review of organisational social media use by NGOs in the context of international development.

Discovery of key factors that may influence the success of multinational ICT ...Anand Sheombar
This overview paper presents results of an investigation into the nature of key factors that
may influence the success of multinational information and communication technology
(ICT) companies in their efforts to engage with the Base of the Pyramid (BOP).
The research was conducted in 10 BOP projects involving multinational ICT companies in
Africa. ICT is relevant here because of frequently high expectations that it contributes
positively to development goals. A study of the BOP literature reveals that several elements
need consideration when trying to create value in developing areas. In addition it
emerges that these elements are somehow interdependent. Qualitative data was collected
using the case study method and the data was analyzed for emerging patterns.
The analysis revealed three high level factors that may need to be aligned in order to ensure
optimized value creation of BOP ventures. These three factors are BOP strategy, partnerships,
and products & services development.
The presentation provides reasons for using social media in research activities and communication. Various social media are linked to the Research Life Cycle.
The original presentation was held at a research group meeting at Utrecht University of Applied Sciences, June 2014.

The balancing act of optimised value creationAnand Sheombar
The analysis revealed three high level factors that may need to be aligned in order to
ensure optimised value creation of BOP ventures. These three factors are BOP strategy,
partnerships, and products & services development. It is also confirmed that neither BOP
strategy nor partnerships nor products/service development can be synthesised
independently from the rest. There is a delicate balance and interaction between the three
where all three are interdependent and mutually influence each other.

Cooperation Issues In Developing The BOP Market - AMCISAnand Sheombar
The basic argument of this paper is that successful contribution of ICT to development goals is partly dependent on the nature of the cooperation between partners. Thus if there is a need to assess the contribution of ICT, then one needs to look further than just the basic quantitative measures and include cooperation issues as criteria for success. The purpose of the research reported in this paper was therefore to take one step closer towards a framework of cooperation issues in so-called BOP projects, specifically in the ICT arena, with the ultimate aim of developing a way to assess factors that may present a risk to the success of these projects. This framework could serve as the foundation for further research into developing a diagnostic instrument for this purpose.

BOP and ICT MNCs: Base of the Pyramid approach reflected on the strategy of m...Anand Sheombar
The Base of the Pyramid (BOP) comprises the majority of the world population. However, the majority seemed to be neglected by multinational companies, until recently. Since the landmark publications of Prahalad & Hart much more attention is attributed to the BOP.
This research examines the attention some multinational ICT companies have given to the BOP so far. A case study research was conducted of 5 projects involving multinational ICT companies, which were studied as separate case studies for this thesis, all in the geographical space of Africa.
Qualitative data was collected using the multiple case study method and the data was analyzed for emerging patterns. The cases were analyzed on three main units of analysis, namely the BOP businesses model & strategy, the products & services and the partnerships needed for engaging with the BOP community.
It was found that regarding BOP businesses model & strategy an assessment of the BOP business model qualities is useful. The study revealed in all cases a hybrid view of market creation and socio-economic development by (ICT) companies engaging with the BOP, dubbed a hybrid form of BOP 1.0 & 2.0 strategies. The research also suggests that for successful BOP ventures alignment is needed between “BOP Business model & strategy”, “Partnership” and the “BOP Product & Service development”. The BOP products and services development confirmed the presence of disruptive innovation and innovation blowback. It was found that problems with partnerships revolve around six core categories namely driving force factors, skill factors, input-output factors, socio-cultural factors, systems factors, and trust factors.

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.

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.

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).
