The Sharing Economy: Embracing Change with CautionRobin Teigland
The Sharing Economy has been the subject of considerable interest among policy makers across the globe. This book begins by developing a pragmatic definition of the Sharing Economy. Next, we describe global Sharing Economy trends, followed by an examination of the Sharing Economy in Sweden. Subsequent sections address regulatory considerations and potential economic implications. The book then concludes with a discussion of possible policy responses.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

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.

"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.

The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
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.
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.

3. Key Note Speech
Prof. Dr. Georges Haour, IMD Lausanne
Dr. Georges Haour is Professor of Technology & Innovation Management. He
also acts as an adviser to firms and organizations in his area of value-creation
through effective management of the innovation process, as well as
commercialization of technology. He has 8 patents, 90 publications and three
books on innovation and technology commercialization. His latest case study is
on Infosys, in Bangalore. Prior to joining IMD, Dr. Haour was a manager at Battelle, in Geneva,
where, for nine years, he led a business unit carrying out innovation projects on behalf of
companies in Europe, Japan and the USA. In this capacity, he significantly grew his unit’s sales
and hired professionals from six countries. Several of his innovations, licensed to firms, resulted
in large new business for the client- companies. Earlier, he was a researcher at ATT's Bell
Laboratories, Murray Hill, New Jersey. He also worked with Marshall McLuhan at his Centre for
Culture, Society and Technology, in Toronto. He holds a Master of Sciences from ENSCP- Higher
School of Chemistry, in Paris and a PhD from the University of Toronto, Canada.
Key Note
Innovation is a buzzword describing a host of different things. The European Union is a major
historical innovation. The use of perspective by painters of the Renaissance as well as China’s
gun powder was innovations. So was the concept of self-service for retailing stores. Singapore’s
night zoo is an innovation. The nano car is another one… We focus here on innovations in firms.
We thus deal with something new aimed at having a commercial success. This definition covers
a broad range of things aimed at making the firm more effective and competitive. Aside from the
usual products and services innovations, the latter may be conceptual or organizational. The
ICTs-information and communication technologies offer powerful ways to enable new and more
effective business or distribution models (e.g. the low cost airline EasyJet, shopping on internet,
online services, etc…)
One powerful way to innovate is to develop scientific and technological knowledge, incorporated
in new, or improved, offerings in the market. Typical of this process is the development of new
drugs or devices in the pharma/biotech/medtech sector. In this, case as well as in others, the
success of innovations does not depend only on the technical staff, but on the whole firm. This is
partly why it is difficult to correlate the investments in R&D (Research and Development) of a
firm with its success in the marketplace. The key features of an “innovative firm” are discussed.
They include a most critical element, i.e. the passion and the motivation of the staff. The
management of firms must be much better than currently at taking care of the crucial human
factor. The trends in the innovation process are expected to go along three main and common
sense directions in our interdependent world. Firms must:
- effectively federate sources of innovations external to the firm.
- better use the ICTs, both for managing the global firm and to enable new managerial
practices, business models and distribution systems.
- integrate India and China (and, later, Brazil, etc…) in the world-wide array of the
innovation/R&D system of western firms.
