Interactive technologies such as Augmented (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are set to transform the ways in which people communicate, interact and share information on the internet and beyond. This will directly impact a larger number of worldwide industries ranging from the cultural and creative industries, manufacturing, robotic and healthcare to education, entertainment and media, enabling new business opportunities. The challenge is to forge a competitive and sustainable ecosystem of providers in interactive technologies
This is an April 1916 Havana presentation stressing that Cuba has the technical skills to make major digital advances in the Internet ecosystem, and that the lack of political will to "unleash" Cuban abilities (mainly among its underemployed youth) is a major risk to Cuba's future. It can muster the political will to ride the digital wave, or sit back and be swamped by a tsunami of foreign oligopolies in league with emerging Cuban oligarchs. It is the tragedy of a country with the abilities being shackled by a lack or (or perverse) political will that will betray even the goals of the Cuban Revolution.

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.

All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

2. 3
In the beginning…
(till early 1990s)
Few people believed that ordinary people
will use computers
Very few people believed that people will
use computers to communicate
In the Telecom world…Internet was
regarded as “dirty”, “not secure”, not
suited to serious business
Governments, Telco, ITU, Business,
Academia - all main stream people were
against the Internet

The User is the center
PC enabled people to control computers
“Counter-culture” from West Coast
“Hackers”, Steven Levy”
“Tools for Thought”, Howard Rheingold
Linking computers made users more powerful
“Virtual Community”, H. Rheingold
Internet empowering people & society

4. Debate on
Internet Governance
It was there since around 1996
Who manages the DNS
What if Jon Postel dies?
IAHC proposed new international body
based in Geneva
ISOC, ITU and EU in agreement
USG stopped this attempt in 1997, started
Policy Process, Green & White Paper
IFWP process: Jun - Oct 1998
DC, Geneva, Singapore and Buenos Aires Meetings
ICANN was tentatively accepted by USG
5Aug 3 2014
5. It became louder with
the World Summit on the Information
Society (WSIS)
Summit: United Nation’s high-level event with
Head of States to discuss matters of mutual
concerns, mostly global emerging issues
WSIS – proposed by ITU, adopted by GA
1st
phase 2003 - in Geneva, 2nd
2005 in Tunis
Objective:
Close the digital divide in developing countries
Take advantage of digital economy for further
development
Address new issues of information society
Aug 3 2014 6
6. “Internet Governance”
became the hottest issue
Emerged during prep process in 2002, the hottest of all
issues
Developing countries wanted to change the international
system around ICANN
“Internet is a global public resource that requires
governments to manage”, calling for formal intervention
of governments in the management of the Domain Name
System, under the UN System by international
intergovernmental body
“Replace ICANN with ITU”, “UN to take over ICANN”
USA and many Western countries argued for “No regulation” by
governments, let private sector to manage Internet resources
Long and winding debate continued among
governments as well as business and civil society
participants in the preparatory processAug 3 2014 7
7. 08/03/14 8
What is “Internet Governance”?
1. Governance of Internet infrastructure
Domain Name System, IP number allocation
Standardization process (IETF vs. ITU etc.)
Access – to close digital divide
1. Governance of Social activities over Internet
Illegal & harmful content (for minors)
Spam, cyber security
1. Governance of Information Society
E-commerce, digital economy
Digital culture
Social inclusion – no one should be left behind
Aug 3 2014 8
8. 9
Working Definition of Internet Governance:
“Internet governance is the
development and application by
governments, the private sector and
civil society, in their respective
roles, of shared principles, norms,
rules, decision-making procedures,
and programmes that shape the
evolution and use of the Internet.”
from the WGIG Report
accepted by WSIS Tunis AgendaAug 3 2014 9
9. Why it became so hot?
Facing new challenges with changing realities
From research network to global Public & Economic infrastructure
Uneven framework with USG holds discretionary power
Historical legacy became political concern
Inadequate current systems
“North” dominates the “South” – less participation in ICANN process
from developing countries – appeal made by G8 DOT Force with no
result
From governments to civil society
Lack of proper understanding about Internet and ICANN
(history, role and functions)
Distrust created by politically motivated actors
ITU to regain control over “telecom”
“Politics” inside UN system
Internet empowers the users/individuals/citizens
Aug 3 2014 10
10. Politics behind
Anti-US, anti globalization
against US dominance in military,
technology & economy
Demonstration against WEF, IMF, WTO, G8
Summit…
US invasion to Iraq after 911
Competition for world hegemony for
digital economy

25. NETmundial Multistakeholder Statement
This is the non-binding outcome of a
bottom-up, open, and participatory process
involving thousands of people from
governments, private sector, civil society,
technical community, and academia from
around the world. The NETmundial
conference was the first of its kind. It
hopefully contributes to the evolution of the
Internet governance ecosystem.
1. Internet Governance Principles
2. Roadmap for the future evolution of the
Internet Governance Ecosystem
26Aug 3 2014
26. 1. INTERNET GOVERNANCE
PRINCIPLES
NETmundial identified a set of common
principles and important values that
contribute for an inclusive,
multistakeholder, effective, legitimate, and
evolving Internet governance framework
and recognized that the Internet is a global
resource which should be managed in the
public interest.
27Aug 3 2014
27. HUMAN RIGHTS AND SHARED
VALUES
Human rights are universal as reflected in the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights and that
should underpin Internet governance principles.
Rights that people have offline must also be
protected online, in accordance with international
human rights legal obligations, including the
International Covenants on Civil and Political
Rights and Economic, Social and Cultural Rights,
and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities. Those rights include, but are not
limited to:
28Aug 3 2014
28. Freedom of expression: Everyone has the right to freedom of
opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold
opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart
information and ideas through any media and regardless of
frontiers.
Freedom of association: Everyone has the right to peaceful
assembly and association online, including through social
networks and platforms.
Privacy: The right to privacy must be protected. This
includes not being subject to arbitrary or unlawful
surveillance, collection, treatment and use of personal data.
The right to the protection of the law against such interference
should be ensured.
Procedures, practices and legislation regarding the
surveillance of communications, their interception and
collection of personal data, including mass surveillance,
interception and collection, should be
reviewed, with a view to upholding the right to privacy by
ensuring the full and effective implementation of all obligations
under international human rights law.
Aug 3 2014 29
29. Accessibility: persons with disabilities should
enjoy full access to online resources Promote the
design, development, production and distribution of
accessible information, technologies and systems on
the internet.
Freedom of information and access to
information: Everyone should have the right to
access, share, create and distribute information on
the Internet, consistent with the rights of authors and
creators as established in law.
Development: all people have a right to
development and the Internet has a vital role to play
in helping to achieve the full realization of
internationally agreed sustainable development
goals. It is a vital tool for giving people living in
poverty the means to participate in development
processes.
30Aug 3 2014
30. PROTECTION OF
INTERMEDIARIES
Intermediary liability limitations should be
implemented in a way that respects and
promotes economic growth, innovation,
creativity and free flow of information. In this
regard, cooperation among all stakeholders
should be encouraged to address and deter
illegal activity, consistent with fair process.
31
Softer wording with private sector “lobbying”
vs “intermediary liablitiy”
Aug 3 2014
31. The draft language
“in order to ensure that these rights
(information and access rights) are
available in practice, it is essential that
internet intermediaries are protected from
liability for the actions of their users within
the limitations of law.”
32Aug 3 2014
33. “We are disappointed because that outcome
document fails to adequately reflect a number of our
key concerns,” ten Oever said. “The lack of
acknowledgement of net neutrality at NETmundial is
deeply disappointing. Mass surveillance has not been
sufficiently denounced as being inconsistent with
human rights and the principle of proportionality. And
although the addition of language on Internet
intermediary liability is welcomed, the failure of the
draft text to ensure due process safeguards could
undermine the rights to freedom of expression and
privacy.”
The intermediary liability subject is too much about
business and not enough about human rights, said
Robin Gross, executive director of IP Justice.
34Aug 3 2014
34. CULTURE AND LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY
Internet governance must respect, protect and
promote cultural and linguistic diversity in all its
forms.
UNIFIED AND UNFRAGMENTED SPACE
Internet should continue to be a globally
coherent, interconnected, stable,
unfragmented, scalable and accessible
network-of-networks, based on a common set
of unique identifiers and that allows data
packets/information to flow freely end- to-end
regardless of the lawful content.
35Aug 3 2014
36. ENABLING ENVIRONMENT FOR
SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY
INTERNET GOVERNANCE PROCESS
PRINCIPLES
Multistakeholder: Internet governance should be built
on democratic, multistakeholder processes, ensuring
the meaningful and accountable participation of all
stakeholders, including governments, the private
sector, civil society, the technical community, the
academic community and users. The respective
roles and responsibilities of stakeholders should
be interpreted in a flexible manner with reference
to the issue under discussion.
37Aug 3 2014
37. Open, participative, consensus driven
governance:
Transparent:
Accountable:
Inclusive and equitable:
Distributed:
Collaborative:
Enabling meaningful participation:
Access and low barriers:
Agility
OPEN STANDARDS
Aug 3 2014 38
38. 2. ROADMAP FOR THE FUTURE EVOLUTION
OF THE INTERNET GOVERNANCE
I. Issues that deserve attention of all
stakeholders in the future evolution of
Internet governance.
39Aug 3 2014
39. It is important that multistakeholder
decision-making and policy formulation
are improved in order to ensure the full
participation of all interested parties,
recognizing the different roles played by
different stakeholders in different issues.
40Aug 3 2014
40. Enhanced cooperation as referred to in
the Tunis Agenda to address international
public policy issues pertaining to the
Internet must be implemented on a
priority and consensual basis.
Stakeholder representatives appointed to
multistakeholder Internet governance
processes should be selected through
open, democratic, and transparent
processes.
41Aug 3 2014
41. MSH at National Level
There is a need to develop multistakeholder
mechanisms at the national level owing to
the fact that a good portion of Internet
governance issues should be tackled at this
level. National multistakeholder mechanisms
should serve as a link between local
discussions and regional and global
instances. Therefore a fluent coordination
and dialogue across those different
dimensions is essential.
42Aug 3 2014
42. Tunis Agenda:
98. We encourage strengthened and continuing
cooperation between and among stakeholders to
ensure effective implementation of the Geneva and
Tunis outcomes, for instance through the promotion
of national, regional and international multi-
