Firms, Collective Intelligence and Sustainability : MIT Crowds and Climate Co...Peter C. Evans, PhD
Can firms harness collective intelligence and advance sustainability goals? How large is the intersection between digital tools that permit expanding collaborative networks and reducing the time and cost of innovation?
These were some of the areas discussed at the Crowds and Climate conference held at MIT on November 6-8th organized by the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence.
Peter Evans, Vice President at Center for Global Enterprise, participated in a plenary panel with Nancy Pfund Founder and Managing Partner, DBL Investors and Otto Scharmer, Senior Lecturer, MIT; Founding Chair, Presencing Institute. Jason Jay, Director, MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative served as the session moderator.
Evans’ presentation focused on the how firms can leverage the power of internal networks through the use of digital platform tools and crowdsourcing.
This keynote presentation discusses how the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) is changing the nature of certain products by enabling them to build large ecosystems and complements that elevate them from the mundane to the strategic. This has important implication for energy and energy efficiency given broader forces that are reshaping the energy landscape, namely the rise of denser networks (physical, grids, pipelines, fiber, etc.), growth in digital information and the opportunity for new forms and power of analytics and the shift to platform business models that harness network effects by building large ecosystems and incentivizing complements that increase the value of the platforms. Linked to this is the rise of the API Economy, which is creating a new ways to exchange valuable information. In short, a new “energy data layer” is emerging with powerful implications for the future energy intelligence, productivity and efficiency.

Asia is second only to North America in generating large successful platform companies. The growing significance of platform companies is perhaps inevitable, given the size and scale of Asia in the global economy, a large and growing middle class, rapidly growing internet usage and a knack for quickly trying and adapting new business models. Platforms such as Tencent, Alibaba, Naver, Flipkart and Garena — to name but a few — are becoming important vehicles to efficiently provide services to the region’s large and growing middle class as it embraces digital technology. The survey identified 62 major platform companies operating across Asia, with a market capitalization of $800 million or more. The final list of companies is diverse. The companies serve 10 major industry sectors, with headquarters in 18 different cities. They have grown dramatically in the past decade, with a significant number of platforms now servicing hundreds of millions of users. These companies have also attracted significant investor attention. The market value of the 62 companies now exceeds $1.1 trillion, and they are having a growing influence on shaping markets throughout the region.

Privacy-respecting Auctions as Incentive Mechanisms in Mobile Crowd SensingIoannis Krontiris
In many mobile crowdsensing scenarios it is desirable to give micro-payments to contributors as an incentive for their participation. However, to further encourage participants to use the system, one important requirement is protection of user privacy. In this work we present a reverse auction mechanism as an efficient way to offer incentives to users by allowing them to determine their own price for the data they provide, but also as a way to motivate them to submit better quality data. At the same time our auction protocol guarantees bidders’ anonymity and suggests a new rewarding mechanism that enables winners to claim their reward without being linked to the data they contributed. Our protocol is scalable, can be applied to a large class of auctions and remains both computation- and communication-efficient so that it can be run to the mobile devices of users.

Nowadays, there is an increasing demand to provide real-time environment information such as air quality, noise level, traffic condition, etc. to citizens in urban areas for various purposes. The proliferation of sensor-equipped smartphones and the mobility of people are making Mobile Crowdsensing (MCS) an effective way to sense and collect information at a low deployment cost. In MCS, instead of deploying static sensors in urban areas, people with mobile devices play the role of mobile sensors to sense the information of their surroundings and the communication network (3G, WiFi, etc.) is used to transfer data for MCS applications...

Sensing as-a-Service - The New Internet of Things (IOT) Business ModelDr. Mazlan Abbas
Here's a chance to create new business models for Internet of Things. There are tons of benefits to gain from IOT and sensors. Its a matter of time when we can harness the creativity of the IOT Application Developers. Create a healthy eco-system so that everyone benefits.
If you have somehow missed the hype, the Internet of Things (IoT) is a fast-growing constellation of internet-connected sensors attached to a wide variety of 'things'. Sensors can take a multitude of possible measurements, Internet connections can be wired or wireless, while 'things' can literally be any object to which you can attach or embed a sensor. If you carry a smartphone, for example, you become a multi-sensor IoT 'thing', and many of your day-to-day activities can be tracked, analysed and acted upon.
Many of the conversations taking place around the IoT are incomplete without a mention of big data. Big data is characterised by “4 V’s”: volume, variety, velocity and veracity. That is, big data comes in large amounts (volume), is a mixture of structured and unstructured information (variety), arrives at (often real-time) speed (velocity) and can be different levels of uncertainty (veracity).
As organizations step into IoT, they must understand the symbiotic relationship between IoT and big data. Just like with any big-data play, merely collecting the data isn't enough. The data must be processed and analyzed to derive meaningful insights, and those insights must drive actionable steps that can improve the business.
What that means is that, without Big Data, the IoT can offer an enterprise little more than noise. But wait…! On the other hand, without IoT, the Big Data is little more than any other software lying idle. Actually you need two to Tango. That’s when you get the perfect marriage!
Quantified Self movement allows to collect a lot of
personal data which can be used to nurture the model
of the users. Evenly, when aggregated, these personal
data become a picture of the people of a space in a City
Model. This model can be fed also by data coming from
crowdsensing. The resulting City Model can be used to
provide personalized services to citizen, and to increase
people awareness about their behaviour that can help
in promoting collective behavioural change. The paper
Report 3 the fourth industrial revolution - things to tighten the link betwe...Rick Bouter
This report was all about the fourth stage of the Industrial Revolution made possible by the far-reaching integration of Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT). The IT/OT convergence and the end-to-end ecosystems that are under development – from design and production to client interaction and advanced Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO) – enable a future in which appliances, devices, things and machines for professionals and private people will communicate with central systems, with one another, and with users for the purpose of providing the best possible facilities to makers, service providers, legislators and customers.

The fourth stage of the Industrial Revolution is upon us due to the far-reaching integration, accelerated by the Internet of Things, of Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT). This creates completely new opportunities as a result of new combinations of mental, physical and mechanical work by integrating the internet, sensors and embedded systems.
The Internet of Things enabled IT/OT convergence leads to cost reduction as a consequence of predictive maintenance, speed and intelligence, thanks to Machine-to-Machine communication and improved forms of Human-Machine Interaction. M2M interaction between and within machines and systems is the cyber-physical heart of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
The GTO 2013 focuses on this confluence, which is transforming the way companies deliver millions of systems, software, and services to billions of users. While each technology driver is important when considered individually, this confluence is fueling four “mega-trends” with significant implications for enterprises.
Emerging manufacturing systems will be smart, sustainability and responsive to customer needs. Industry 4.0 offers an interesting platform. It is an integrative and all embracing architecture.
Adopting the #IOT in any industry including gyms, fitness facilities and health clubs requires strategy, a road map and a execution. The ROI and other benefits to the customer a huge.

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).

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.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck

4. Future Internet & Innovation in Europe
"The key to real innovation and growth: it lies with our entrepreneurs
and start-ups, and I want to give them the tools and resources they
need. Just earlier this week I launched the Future Internet Lab. Led by
industry, this is a major investment in generic technology. Focusing
not on specific applications, but on the building blocks essential
to creating new ideas…. That's something that you can turn into real
results, real jobs, and real innovation. European platforms helping
European innovation in European cities."
Neelie Kroes, Vice-President of the European Commission, responsible for the
Digital Agenda

8. Is a New Industrial Revolution coming?
Source: http://www.economist.com/node/21552901
As manufacturing goes digital, a third great change is now gathering pace. It
will allow things to be made economically in much smaller numbers, more flexibly
and with a much lower input of labour, thanks to new materials, completely new
processes such as 3D printing, easy-to-use robots and new collaborative
manufacturing services available online. The wheel is almost coming full circle,
turning away from mass manufacturing and towards much more individualised
production.

13. FITMAN Mission
The mission of the FITMAN (Future Internet Technologies for MANufacturing
industries) project is to provide the FI PPP with a set of industry-led use case
trials in the Smart, Digital and Virtual Factories of the Future domains, in
order to test and assess the suitability, openness and flexibility of FI-WARE
Generic Enablers, this way contributing to the social-technological-economical-
environmental-political sustainability of EU Manufacturing Industries.

The collective intelligence of a million garage tinkerers is about to be unleashed on the global markets as ideas go straight into production, no financing or tooling required….
The Web was just the proof-of-concept of what an open, bottom-up, collaborative industrial model could look like. Now the revolution hits the real world.
Just as the Web changed, redistributed, and sped up the diffusion of information—and created and destroyed businesses along the way—Anderson argues that desktop production and design will change manufacturing from a cumbersome process based on capital to a flexible one based on creativity.
