CONNECTED OBJECTS - how NFC technology enables a more environmentally-friendl...Pierre Metivier
20, 40, 80 billions connected objects in the smart cities of the future by 2020 as foreseen by many large IT companies and consulting firms. But is our planet ready for as many billions Ion-lithium battery equiped objects ? What about the impact on our environment ? Hopefully, there are solutions to reduce the need of batteries in connected objets and energy harvesting is one important field of study. NFC, better known for contactless payment and transportation cards, is one technology that can be used to reduce the needs of batteries in connected objects, allowing a cleaner and greener environment, as this track will present.

NFC, short for Near Field Communication, is a short range wireless RFID technology that makes use of interacting electromagnetic radio fields instead of the typical direct radio transmissions used by technologies such as Bluetooth. It is meant for applications where a physical touch, or close to it, is required in order to maintain security. NFC is planned for use in mobile phones for, among other things, payment, in conjunction with an electronic wallet

A Librarian's Field Guide to Near Field CommunicationKristen Yarmey
A presentation given by Sheli McHugh and Kristen Yarmey in October 2011 at the Pennsylvania Library Association annual conference in State College, PA.
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a new technology that allows devices such as cell phones to transmit information wirelessly across a small distance. While it has many commercial applications (e.g., using your cell phone as a credit card at the grocery store), NFC could also have future applications for libraries as a new way to link physical materials with digital information. Placing particular attention on cataloging, metadata, and circulation, this presentation will discuss potential strategies for utilizing NFC in libraries, from peer to peer loaning to embedding catalog records in books.
Show different Standards as ECMA 340 and 352. Talks about security problems and solutions. Shows ECMA 385 and 386 as a SSE & SCH services for p2p mode.
As conclusions:
NFC by itself cannot provide protection against eavesdropping or data modification. The solution is the establishment of a secure channel over NFC. Since Man in the Middle attacks are unfeasible, a Diffie- Heffman cryptography can be applied. NFC-SEC standard uses ECDH crypto and AES algorithm.
The presentation describes a variety of solutions in the IoT area and provides hints on creating distributed systems. It focuses on modern standards in the field of IoT, their disadvantages and prospects.

Joint report on regulatory sandboxes and innovation hubs🌍 Norbert Gehrke
The European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) published today a joint report on innovation facilitators (regulatory sandboxes and innovation hubs). The report sets out a comparative analysis of the innovation facilitators established to date within the EU. The ESAs also set out best practices for the design and operation of innovation facilitators.
The number of innovation facilitators in the EU has grown rapidly in recent years. As at the date of the report, 21 EU Member States and 3 EEA States have established innovation hubs and 5 EU Member States have regulatory sandboxes in operation. A comparative analysis of these national innovation facilitators is set out in the report and, based on this analysis, a set of best practices has been prepared. The best practices are intended to: (i) promote consistency across the single market in the design and operation of innovation facilitators; (ii) promote transparency of regulatory and supervisory policy outcomes from arising from interactions in the context of innovation facilitators; and (iii) facilitate cooperation between national authorities, including consumer and data protection authorities.
The ESAs also set out options, to be considered in the context of future EU-level work on innovation facilitators, to promote coordination and cooperation between innovation facilitators which would support the scaling-up of FinTech across the single market.

The 20 largest OECD countries have a combined public pension deficit of $78 Trillion. Many large corporate pension schemes are likewise significantly underfunded.
With over 44% of men and 55% of women now expected to live into their 90s, many consumers will outlive their private savings by 5 years and some by at least 10 years.
Current retirement income products such as life annuities are unpopular due to low returns mostly caused by the high costs charged by Insurers, which act as centralized “guarantors".
We propose a solution to the costly central guarantor problem by using our patent pending peer-to-peer tontine pensions administered by an unbiased, mathematically robust smart-actuary which ensures that the pension is ALWAYS fully funded. And because tontine pensions provide lifetime income without requiring a guarantor, they significantly reduce the cost of providing pension benefits and thus significantly increase the income paid out to retirees.
Tontines are a 365-year-old financial innovation which successfully financed many European
countries and states as well as numerous private projects such as roads, bridges and hotels. They make periodic payouts shared among their members for as long as they live. In later years, as the number of surviving members declines, the payout per-member rises, often dramatically.
Tontines were first offered in the US in 1868 by insurance companies and they were wildly successful. Over 50% of households invested the modern equivalent of $170Bn before Insurer malpractice caused sales to halt after a 1906 investigation revealing improper uses of capital as well as tampering with the ledger of members which undermined trust in the whole process.
In the century long absence of the tontines, retirement savings rates have plummeted.
2009 saw the emergence of distributed ledger technologies for immutable financial record-keeping which creates a new form of pseudonymous trust between users based upon math.
As such, consumers can now safely and collectively self-insure the financial risks of living longer by entering into secure, low-cost peer-to-peer tontines.
This paper proposes a fully regulated peer-to-peer tontine issuing ecosystem which can offer:
• greater financial benefits payouts to the hundreds of millions of global consumers spending ~$350BN per year on retirement income solutions,
• a digital currency which incentivizes IFAs and RIAs to take no-load tontines to their clients, and
• an un-biased, self-correcting, autonomous smart-actuary which can be trusted to ensure the tontine pension is ALWAYS fully funded and always acts in the best interest of the members.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.
