Internet of Things
The Internet of Things, also called The Internet of Objects, refers to a wireless network between objects, usually the network will be wireless and self-configuring, such as household appliances.
Mobile technology has made the Internet of Things (IoT) possible. With wifi powered light bulbs, thermostats we can control from our phone and devices that tell us how much energy we’re using in our homes/businesses the sky’s the limit. In this session Nicole Engard will walk you through what technologies are out there for your home and library. She will cover how to keep yourself secure and discuss future design ideas for the Internet of Things’ usefulness in our libraries.
Internet of Things is an idea under development. It is the future connecting the Smart devices to the Internet. Interested to know more about the current developments and the future road map of this project then this presentation is for you.

CITiZAN in the Severn
As coastal archaeologists we face processes which are destructive to archaeology but cannot be protected against. The coastal zone does not, and cannot be afforded the protection that terrestrial archaeology, or even maritime archaeology to a certain degree, enjoys. When looking at Historic Environment Records the coast often looks sparse, we have thousands of records which have been identified through development archaeology but coastal development is very limited, for obvious reasons. So how do we work to identify and record an archaeological resource which is unquantified, fragile, constantly eroding and spans thousands of miles? The CITIZAN (Coastal and Intertidal Zone Archaeological Network) project aims to do just this, with its three regional teams covering hundreds of miles each and working in environments from low lying estuaries to granite cliffs.
This presentation will look at the recording of complex archaeological sites in the diverse coastal zone, focusing on the use of new technologies and their accessibility with a focus on our work in the Severn Estuary.

Provides fault tolerance, serving large number of clients with high aggregate performance.
The field of Google is beyond the searching.
Google store the data in more than 15 thousands commodity hardware.
Handles the exceptions of Google and other Google specific challenges in their distributed file system.
Independent of the source of data, the integration of event streams into an Enterprise Architecture gets more and more important in the world of sensors, social media streams and Internet of Things. Events have to be accepted quickly and reliably, they have to be distributed and analysed, often with many consumers or systems interested in all or part of the events. Dependent on the size and quantity of such events, this can quickly be in the range of Big Data. How can we efficiently collect and transmit these events? How can we make sure that we can always report over historical events? How can these new events be integrated into traditional infrastructure and application landscape?
Starting with a product and technology neutral reference architecture, we will then present different solutions using Open Source frameworks and the Oracle Stack both for on premises as well as the cloud.
NoSQL databases are currently used in several applications scenarios in contrast to Relations Databases. Several type of Databases there exist. In this presentation we compare Key Value, Column Oriented, Document Oriented and Graph Databases. Using a simple case study there are evaluated pros and cons of the NoSQL databases taken into account.

2015 North Bridge Future of Cloud Computing Study, with Wikibon |Broadest exploration of cloud trends, cloud migration & evolution of the cloud computing sector. Survey participation was the largest to date and included responses from 38 countries. 50 collaborators supported the 5th Annual Future of Cloud Computing study, which reveals that cloud has become an accepted and integral technology. Furthermore, the study shows that despite deployment gaps among clouds, we should expect a future powered by hybrid cloud technologies. The question of whether companies are using the cloud has morphed to how deeply cloud adoption is integrated within the business. From the bottom to the top, all products and services will in some way be powered by the cloud making the promise of goods and services that have the potential to be better tomorrow than today. IT departments have reclaimed the reins on driving company technology strategy and cloud adoption as roles, skills and processes have shifted. Importantly, We’re also seeing the emergence of the cloud as the only way businesses can truly get more out of their data including analyzing and executing on it real-time. On the investment front, 2015 could tip the scale from private to public capital for SaaS companies.

"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.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Editor's Notes
Topics have been chosen based on Survey Monkey assessment..so, there are particular reasons for choosing these particular technologies and not othersAlso acknowledge that while these may be of interest to many, not all will have an equal interest for all, and there may be some glaring omissions…perhaps intentionally, perhaps unintentionally…but there’s only so much that can be pushed into a specific time frame..There will however, be an online version of the class and several possible variations where small segments can be completed on 1-2 topics at a time, where attendees can pick and choose topics of greateast interest and relevance. Looking at getting the Geeks class online in the summer. Stay tuned, if interested.
5 minutes
3 minSo, first, the class will be based on content that I will present, but I’d like to think of myself as a facilitator more than an instructor. I think that we all have experiences to share and we can all learn from each other. I’m very likely not the most experienced person in the room when it comes to all of these technologies—maybe not any of them. But, all are of extreme interest to me and I look forward to seeing how these technologies and tools will influence our personal and professional lives, how they will come into being and someday be replaced by another technology—partially or fully in the future. Most of the content gathered here has been taken from my own experiences or the experiences and ideas of others. I’ve used the most relevant, professional, and most effective resources I’m able to find---most of which can be arrtibuted to others—and I’ve done my best to reference others’ work when used. So, during the presentation—especially with regards to the AR section, we’ll lean on external resources including video to view as examples of how the technology works because the video may demonstrate better than I’m able to—either because the technology is difficult to visualize otherwise, or the product/materials for the technology is not available in order to facilitate a hands-on live demonstration. The topics chosen for today’s class were selected based on perceived interest, relevance in the library setting of this group, and pre-course assessment (if done)
Gartner is a company the charts the rise and fall, so to speak of over 1900 technologies to provide intelligence to business, individuals, organizations that need to make decisions based on the maturity of various emerging tech markets….what’s interesting is that technologies travel such a line and can be measured accordingly…but also that before the slope of enlightenment and plateau of productivity, comes the peak of inflated expectations, and trough of disillusionment…which should cause us to pause or at least proceed patiently when accepting the latest technology—especially when adopting for a organization or dedicating significant resources..Garnter puts together analysis for specific types of technologies as well…open source software, content mangagement, semi-conductors & electronics…just another possible tool to consider when attempting to objectively assessing the impact a technology is having, but more importantly will have
See QR codes popping up everywhere with a lot of interesting, innovative applications…both in and out of the library…we will talk about some of both and then take some time to create our own…Here’s a QR code example that….(insert advertising example pic)
A QR code (short for Quick Response) is a type of barcode that contains data that can be read by the camera on a phone. Most smartphones today come with software that allows you to download a QR code reader to it. For instance, the iPhone has the iTunes store where you can download ‘apps’ or applications for your phone. Once you download a QR code reader, the camera on the phone acts like a scanner and the camera “reads” the barcode. Unlike a typical barcode, additional information can be embedded into this code.
Media example..U.K. super market chain owner…placed big food images on subway walls in S Korea…user could scan items, which would then be added to virtual shopping cart and processed after virtual checkout..groceries were then delivered to consumers, QR Code usersVideo—start at :50 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7HnR02kJxY
Another consumer-specific example…JC Penny customers could record a 60 sec greeting to gift recipients, then attach to purchased items via QR code…to later be “opened” by gifteehttp://youtu.be/5EjVvvyLRfA
QR codes used for activities..scavenger hunts, surveys, asessmentsPromote use of electronic journals and e-resources within the physical collection
QR Codes as part of the catalog record….each item/record has a QR code…user scans and takes bib information to find materials on shelf…Example from Kentucky State University

So, ….step by step slide to create…along with considerations of why
Instructions for creating QR code..step by step…1-2 person activity—create your own with specific use in mindTake time to let participants share their work
Now, who has a mobile device--smartphone, etc? So those of you with devices, download free QR reader. If you have one, or once you've downloaded, Find someone else's generated QR codes to scan to see if they work. Those without devices, not to worry…I've got 2 here and we can also pair up if needed. I will be coming around to see who needs help downloading a reader and who needs a device to use/share. Discussion--who thinks there may be value in QR codes? How might try using in the library? Who's not impressed?
In recent years, I think that this has sort of become something we've been hearing about more oftenmostly because the ability to do it at a much larger scale due to increased mobility, wider bandwidth abilities, but also trends such as open data, open government data sets have driven this idea and discussion further. But,In some ways, we’ve had cloud computing for some time and many of us are using—knowingly or unknowingly using cloud computingWeb based email is a good example, I think….mail like gmail, yahoo, windows, etc. The cost for users is 0…but the host..google, or yahoo, microsoft, etc have email and web servers to support the software and data created by users. But as individual users, we don't need to pay anything usually, download software, or have the hardware to run the applications. Web based email..is in the cloud so to speak. There are some other applications that have become popular that are cloud-based--meaning the cost, maintenance, responsibility for integrity and security--belong elsewhere to someone else..perhaps somewhere far far away.We will be discussing some. Insert notes from CiL—Cloud computing presentation
So, to further distinguish the idea of cloud computing, lets talk about the paradigm shift...first there was mainframe computing, then Client/Server Model (PC based), now cloud computing is.hasbecome the dominant shift in thinking about computingVideo: Overview of cloud computing—click on cloud computing modelhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDa8umO3mD4&feature=relmfu
Here are a few technologies or applications that employ cloud computing..that you may be aware of… we will talk about some of these….so for many, this is cloud computing…
Who has used? I use this and although I'm a fairly new user, it's had a tremendous effect in how I work and access my documents---access wherever, whenever on multiple devices…desktop, laptop, tablet, smartphone***Use laptop and iPad to show the connection***
***demonstrate via iPad***Another cloud based technology that I've used a bit longer, but which is also invaluable to me…keep track of my notes, access wherever, whenever on multiple devices…desktop, laptop, tablet, smartphoneSearchable..great for impromptu notetaking..and keep notes from everywhere in one place, accessible anywhere

Technology that uses radio communication and allows devices to communicate..or a device to communicate with another object that has an embedded RFID chip (radio frequency identification) Relies on very close proximity—just a few centimeters between devices or RFID tagsRelevant to us for several reasons… there are some convenient personal uses, but also some innovative used for libraries as well…but mobile phones have been and will be increasingly incorporating the technology into devices
Google Wallet is one of several mobile payment products available….allows consumers to touch their phone to an RFID/NFC scanning device—at register upon check outGW support Citicard and prepaid Google cards…and is basically a virtual replica of your plastic cardVisa also offers a mobile wallet, and other financial institutions are to be following
Openways allowing hotel guest to use NFC technology to have their cell phone become their room access…Some additional uses…this short video shows a few more examples for NFC enabled keys
A major use starting to be seen in regards to marketing is RFID tags inserted into posters, billboards that allow users/consumers interact with the advertisement to get additional information…for example a movie poster advertising an upcoming new release, may use NFC to allow potential audience members to view a trailer, buy tickets, or even like a specific product/movie on facebook or other social media site

I’d like to leave with you with just one more quick video segment..Microsoft developed this video, but it simulates some potential ideas for how some of the technologies we’ve discused today may come together in real life…from augmented reality, to cloud based computing, to the displays we come to see at home, work, and elsewhere…how NFC technology might be more integrated into our lives, how wearable, integrated displays may provide real world information…how we collaborate with co-workers, communicate with family members
