The document discusses ethics in internet measurements and technology. It covers how technical aspects are inherently political, how ethics should be considered in fields like hacking and cryptography. It then focuses on the internet measurement platform RIPE Atlas, describing how it was designed with ethics in mind, only allowing certain types of measurements and keeping data open. It calls for continually questioning technology and its impacts, considering more than just how things work but also who benefits and who is harmed.

Leveraging the Crowd: Supporting Newcomers to Build an OSS CommunityMarco Aurelio Gerosa
Keynote delivered at the Paris Workshop at the International Conference on Global Software Engineering
Abstract:
Open Source Software is an important economic driving force. Companies are aware of the benefits and are adopting OSS as a strategy, opening their source code. However, fostering an OSS developer community is challenging. Newcomers to OSS projects face many technical and social barriers and commonly drop out before making their first contribution. In this keynote, I will talk about how companies are opening their code, the barriers newcomers face to join OSS projects, and FLOSSCoach, a tool we developed to support newcomers first steps.

Presentation of current EUNIS activities and proposal to follow-up the joint EUNIS-euroCRIS survey aiming to collect data on the information systems currently in use in Europe to support the Research Area.
News recommenders have the potential to help users filter the enormous amount of news that is available online, and as such may play an important role in determining what information users do and do not get to see. However, current approaches to evaluating recommender systems are often focused on measuring an increase in user clicks and short-term engagement, rather than measuring the user's and society’s longer term interest in diverse and important recommendations. In this talk we aim to bridge the gap between so-called normative notions of news diversity, as it is known in social sciences and specifically democratic theory, and quantitative metrics necessary for evaluating the recommender system. We discuss a number of democratic missions a recommender system could have, together with a set of evaluation metrics stemming from these missions, and suggest ways for practical implementations of these metrics.
The talk will be about practical considerations that our team has had to make in order to bring a recommender system into production. I’ll cover the “default” tools with which we started (Batch processing in Spark) and follow that up with more recent tools like AWS Lambda and Spark Streaming.

SGCI - The Science Gateways Community Institute: Going Beyond BordersSandra Gesing
The Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI), opened in August 2016, provides free resources, services, experts, and ideas for creating and sustaining science gateways. It offers five areas of services to the science gateway developer and user communities: the Incubator, Extended Developer Support, the Scientific Software Collaborative, Community Engagement and Exchange, and Workforce Development. While all these areas are available to US-based communities, the Incubator, the Scientific Software Collaborative and the Community Engagement and Exchange serve also the international communities. We aim at reaching out and supporting beyond borders on international scale with diverse measures and our intent is to form and deepen collaborations with partner organizations and coalitions beneficial and/or related to the science gateways community. Research topics are independent of national borders and researchers spread worldwide can benefit from each other’s research results, software, data and from lessons learned — via online materials and publications or at international events. The gateway community has long benefitted from this type of exchange. This paper will present related work describing the benefits of international collaborations generally, and specifically as they relate to science gateways. We go into detail regarding SGCI’s ongoing work on international scale and its work planned in the near future.

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.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

3. Vesna Manojlovic | BalCCoN2k17 | September 2017 3
• Part 1
- Technical is political
- Moral obligations of scientists, engineers, hackers
- Our ethics determine our (technical) choices
• Part 2
- Ethics of Internet Measurements & RIPE Atlas
• Part 3
- Question Everything!
- With great power comes great responsibility
- Beyond techno-optimism, beyond anthropocentrism: re-connect
Overview

Main Inspirations
• [r] Phillip Rogaway: “The Moral Character of
Cryptographic Work” (2015)
• [ensr] “Philosophy meets Internet Engineering:
Ethics in Networked Systems Research” (2015)
• [art] Langdon Winner: “Do Artefacts Have
Politics?” (1980)
• [p] Allison Parrish: “Programming is Forgetting:
Toward a New Hacker Ethic” (2016)
• [u] Ursula K. Le Guin: “A Non-Euclidean View of

Classical Sciences Ethical Dilemmas
• Medical sciences
- Hippocratic Oath, Nuremberg trials
• Technical sciences
- Nuclear bomb & energy / Russel-Einstein Manifesto
- Engineering ethics
• Environmental sciences
- Silent Spring / animal rights
10. Vesna Manojlovic | BalCCoN2k17 | September 2017 10
Technical is Political
• The machines, structures, and systems of modern
material culture are judged for their:
- contributions of efficiency and productivity,
- positive and negative environmental side effects,
- the ways in which they can embody specific forms of power
and authority.
• Technological ideas and technological things are not
politically neutral: routinely, they have strong, built-in
tendencies. Technological advances are usefully
considered not only from the lens of how they work, but
also why they came to be as they did, whom they help,
and whom they harm. [r]
11. Vesna Manojlovic | BalCCoN2k17 | September 2017 11
Programming is Political
• Language is political
• Artefacts are political [art]
• Transcription / translation is political [p]
• Crypto is political [r]
• Code Is Politics [how]
• “The Personal is Political” [feminism]
16. Vesna Manojlovic | BalCCoN2k17 | September 2017 16
“Free Software” Values
• Individual freedoms
- to use the software as you wish ;
- to study the program and how it works (perusing its source
code) ;
• At a collective level:
- the freedom to distribute exact copies of the program, so
you can help your neighbor ; and
- the freedom to modify the source code and distribute these
modified versions under the same conditions.
• https://gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw
• Open Source vs Free/Libre Software?
19. Vesna Manojlovic | BalCCoN2k17 | September 2017 19
Tips for Academic Cryptographers
• ◃ Attend to problems’ social value. Do anti-surveillance research.
• ◃ Be introspective about why you are working on the problems you are.
• ◃ Think twice, and then again, about accepting military funding.
• ◃ Regard ordinary people as those whose needs you ultimately aim to
satisfy.
• ◃ Use the academic freedom that you have
• ◃ Be open to diverse models. Regard all models as suspect and
dialectical.
• ◃ Get a systems-level view. Attend to that which surrounds our field.
• ◃ Design and build a broadly useful cryptographic commons.
• ◃ Take adversaries seriously.

Theory of Applied Ethics
• Consequentialism
- Utilitarianism
- Act Consequentialism / Rule Consequentialism
• Deontology
• Virtue Ethics (“telos”)
• Principlism
- respect for autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice
• Pluralism and casuistry
23. Vesna Manojlovic | BalCCoN2k17 | September 2017 23
Measurements Ethics [ensr]
• Internet as socio-technical system
• Responsibilities resulting from power imbalances
• Meaningful informed consent
• Weighing risks, benefits and values for an ethical
analysis
• Status of easily accessible data
• Not condoning potentially unethical research
methods

Most Popular RIPE Atlas Features
• Six types of measurements: ping, traceroute,
DNS, SSL/TLS, NTP and HTTP (to anchors)
• APIs to start measurements and get results
• Powerful and informative visualisations: “Time
Travel”, LatencyMON, DomainMON, TraceMon
• CLI tools
• Streaming data for real-time results
• Roadmap shows what’s completed and coming
32. Vesna Manojlovic | BalCCoN2k17 | September 2017 32
Measurements Platforms Comparison
• “Global Network Interference Detection over
the RIPE Atlas Network” (FOCI14)
33. Vesna Manojlovic | BalCCoN2k17 | September 2017 33
Ethics built into design of RIPE Atlas
• Active measurements only
- No passive measurements
- probes do not observe user traffic
• Data, API, source code, tools: free and open
• Kept set of measurements very limited, in
order to prevent placing hosts in danger

Internet of Empathy
• Positive freedom of connectivity, interaction and involvement
- Instead of libertarian “freedom” as independence and self reliance
• This freedom comes at the price of greater responsibility
• “ the intrinsic value of a network does not lie in the
sovereignty and independence of its nodes, but in their
connectedness,”
• Empathy is willingness to engage with the Other, and
willingness to enrich network with our contributions
• From: “To Our Friends” by The Invisible Committee

Imagine: Society > Science > Internet
• … a society predominantly concerned with preserving
its existence (but not endlessly expanding)
• a society with a modest standard of living,
• conservative of natural resources,
• with a low constant fertility rate and
• a political life based upon consent;
• a society that has made a successful adaptation to its
environment
• and has learned to live without destroying itself or the
people (or squirrels) next door.
