This document discusses the interdisciplinary nature of data protection by design and data protection impact assessments. It notes that while software engineers and lawyers both aim to ensure compliance, they often take different approaches - with engineers focusing on technical risks and lawyers on legal concepts. The document proposes aligning these perspectives through a shared understanding of a system using a meta-model that incorporates both technical and legal requirements. This would facilitate transparency and demonstration of compliance. It also discusses how design scientists can help develop user-friendly solutions to meet transparency obligations through approaches like interactive interfaces and privacy languages.SMART International Symposium for Next Generation Infrastructure:Structuring ...

Presented on Tuesday the 1st of October 2013.
Infrastructure systems consist of many heterogeneous decision making entities and technological artefacts. They are governed through public policy that unravels in a multi-scale institutional context, ranging from norms and values to technical standards. For example, to integrate biogas infrastructure in a region, various forms of governance, laws and regulations need to be implemented. To effectively design these requirements, insights into socio-technical systems can be gained through agent based modelling and simulation.
To implement such social concepts in agent-based models of infrastructure systems, we designed a modelling framework called MAIA, based on the Institutional Analysis and Development framework of Elinor Ostrom. This paper will explain how MAIA can be used to model a biogas energy infrastructure in the Netherlands.

This document summarizes a literature review on organizational culture contradictions that can arise when implementing the ITIL framework. The review finds that while ITIL supports rational and process-oriented cultures, it may clash with control-oriented or change-averse cultures. Specifically, ITIL could intimidate some employees and its processes may conflict with functional silos. However, the literature does not clearly identify dominant cultures ITIL favors or all potential cultural contradictions. More empirical research is needed.
Common Framework and Integration
This document discusses the need for a unified systems approach to improve dryland livelihoods. It emphasizes identifying key constraints, building synergies across interventions, and considering how interventions affect overall systems. The CRP DS could add value through similarity mapping, knowledge-based proposals, and addressing the needs of over 2.5 billion people in dry areas. An effective new science framework would focus on overcoming constraints through synthesis, modeling, integration, and embracing heterogeneity. The operating model should involve linking with development strategies, considering agricultural livelihoods as well as upstream and downstream factors, building capacity for systems approaches, and facilitating two-way knowledge sharing.

Enabling Circular Economy with Software: A Multi-level Approach to Benefits, ...Turku University of Applied Sciences / Circular Business Models
Digital technologies can play a key role in enabling circular economies by facilitating new information flows. A literature review identified benefits, requirements and barriers to digital solutions at the micro, meso and macro levels. At the micro level, implementations often have original goals other than circularity, but circular achievements can be byproducts. Micro solutions are building capabilities for meso-level multi-firm networks, but data sharing issues around control, value and access need solutions. While governments strongly support circular economies, the role of public digital solutions remains unexplored in the literature. More empirical research is still needed, especially around business ecosystems and the public sector's role.Book Cover_Prasad-Sridhar

This document discusses Montana State University's approach to supporting research networking with a lean CI staff. Key points:
- MSU has a small IT budget and CI staff of 2 FTE to support research networking for over 16,000 students and faculty.
- The NSF CCDNI program was critical for funding MSU's Bridger research network, providing 40% of the annual IT capital budget.
- As an early adopter, MSU keeps its network architecture simple and leverages support from the national CI community rather than going it alone.
- MSU partners with vendors like Cisco to help support its research networking beyond what its small staff could provide alone.
Gabriel Rissola: "Measuring the impact of eInclusion actors"
This document outlines a proposed impact assessment study of organizations that promote digital inclusion and literacy in Europe. The study would (1) identify and classify different types of "eInclusion intermediaries" and their roles, (2) develop standard indicators and methodology to measure the socioeconomic impact of these organizations, and (3) deploy the framework to measure changes in digital skills, employment, and social inclusion as a result of intermediaries' interventions. The goal is to provide evidence of their impact to inform the European Commission's digital agenda policies. Preparatory work would include literature reviews, indicator identification, and stakeholder consultation to design the assessment approach.

Challenges of Feedback in Organisations: can we foster partnerships not projects
Challenges of Feedback in Organisations: can we foster partnerships not projectsNottingham Trent University
Using a lens of feedback and engagement this paper discusses the relationships between people, organisations, and energy use in workplaces. It reflects on two projects that explored participatory energy practices in public and private organisations. The first, “Working with Infrastructure, Creation of Knowledge, and Energy strategy Development (WICKED)”, explored energy management practices in a range of different retail companies. The second, ‘Gooddeeds’ aimed to collaboratively create an ICT based tool and related social processes with a city municipality. The paper concludes, firstly, that energy management sits against the backdrop of competing organisational, institutional and political priorities and the core strategy of an organisation matters. Second, we need to move beyond the ‘them and us’ culture and ‘information-deficit’ approach intrinsic in the notion of dashboards and feedback to appreciate the positive contribution all can make to energy efficiency. Finally, there are still large discrepancies across organisations with regards to energy management capabilities and metering technologies. In conclusion we note that relationships and partnerships are central in moving forward.Applied e-democracy: the need for an information framework to support develop...
Applied e-democracy: the need for an information framework to support develop...eSociety Institute of The Hague University of Applied Sciences
The document discusses the need for a conceptual framework to support the broad adoption and development of digital democracy or "e-democracy". It notes the urgency to implement information and communication technologies more widely in democratic processes given projected reductions in government workforces and budgets. However, developing high-quality e-democracy solutions is challenging. The authors propose a conceptual framework that maps democratic processes onto information processes to help stimulate faster and better quality development of e-democracy solutions. This framework would decompose democracy into functional steps like informing, deliberating, and decision-making.021215-Jiaqi-TechTranferCaseStudiesApp2
This document provides information about a workshop on international collaboration, technology transfer, and minority business opportunities.

This document discusses the ethical challenges of developing smart grids in rural India. It describes a research project investigating the question "What are the ethical challenges in developing smart grids for rural India and how can they be addressed?". It notes that technology design involves making ethical choices regarding goals, alternatives, trade-offs, risks, and political visions. For smart grids, a key trade-off is between security and privacy of energy usage data. Stakeholder involvement in design is important both practically and ethically, but can pose power imbalances and tensions between inclusion and consensus. The social and institutional context surrounding energy and rural policy must be considered in terms of rationality of goals, means, and decision-making processes.
Sustainability of ICT initiatives.pptx
This document discusses sustainability and community sustainability in initiatives. It defines sustainability as the ability to maintain benefits over time. Community sustainability involves ensuring the community embraces the initiative through participation in development and widespread adoption of innovations. Factors that influence adoption include incentives, addressing costs of behavior change, and social influences from opinion leaders. Reaching critical mass is important for sustainability, and can be encouraged through incentives for early adopters.

Getting from Here to There: Eight Characteristics of Effective Economic & Com...Scott Hutcheson, Ph.D.
The document describes a two-phase mixed methods study that identified characteristics of effective community and economic development strategies.
Phase 1 involved interviews with experts that identified 8 key factors: network structures, asset-based frameworks, iterative planning/implementation, inclusion of short-term goals, decentralized implementation, metrics for learning, high trust among participants, and readiness for change.
Phase 2 surveyed strategy participants and found positive correlations between reported effectiveness and the presence of the 8 factors, supporting network structures, asset-based approaches, iterative processes, and other characteristics as indicators of effective strategies. The study provides insight into distinguishing effective versus ineffective development initiatives.Supporting user driven innovation activities in a crowdsourcing community
The document summarizes research on supporting user-driven innovation in a crowdsourcing community. It studies how norms of collaboration, trust in the hosting company, perceived ease of use, and support for knowledge integration affect intentions to share knowledge. A survey of users of an idea crowdsourcing community found that intentions to share knowledge were mostly driven by trust in the hosting company and community support, but not norms of collaboration for newcomers. The results provide insight into what newcomers value in online innovation communities and how to better support knowledge creation.

Theory of Change or Change of Theory - lessons from Humidtropics CRP
This document summarizes the evaluation of the Theory of Change (ToC) of the Humidtropics research program. Three storylines of the ToC were identified: the original ToC, the espoused ToC agreed upon by stakeholders, and the ToC in use by field-level stakeholders. While progress was made in establishing partnerships and platforms, there were also challenges like limited understanding of the ToC and lack of incentives for scientists. Lessons include that an integrated systems approach resonates with stakeholders but creates few research incentives for scientists. It recommends investing to bridge this divide to accelerate scaling of research.

- 1. Developing and Implementing Smart Grids in India Valorization Meeting Brief Project Introduction Johanna Höffken TERI University, New Delhi, 28.01.2016
- 2. Problem definition • In India about 400 million people have no access to electricity. Smart grids for rural electrification can address the problem of (energy) poverty. • In this project we ask: How can smart grids be successfully developed and implemented in India? Approach • Successful smart grid development is not simply a matter of getting the technology right: social embedding, ethical acceptability and institutional support are at least as important. Goal • The responsible implementation of a smart grid prototype in India.
- 3. • Identification of ethical and societal aspects of technological innovations at an early stage. • Multidisciplinary research consortium and involvement of private sector, which has to provide part of the funding (“matching contribution 25%”). • Valorization member panel, representing stakeholders
- 4. Design criteria • anticipating societal and ethical implications; • constantly questioning the assumptions of designers and stakeholders; • involving interested parties in the design and elaboration processes; • adjusting the innovation process according to the expected societal and ethical implications.
- 5. 4 years (‘15-’19) 3 post-docs
- 8. Time line Post Docs Ethics 1 2 3 4 June 2015 Sociology 1 2 3 4 Feb 2016 1 2 3 4 Technology Summer 2016
- 11. Developing and Implementing Smart Grids in India Johanna Höffken TERI University, New Delhi, 28.01.2016 Workpackage 5: Scaling up
- 13. Research Question WP 5 • Insights from the work packages • Input received from valorization panel throughout the project What are the key factors that affect the potential for upscaling of smart grids throughout India?
- 14. Theoretical Background • Insights from Transition Studies: – considering niche, regime- and landscape dynamics that matter in sustainable energy transitions (Schot and Geels 2008; Markard et al. 2012; Verbong and Loorbach 2012)
- 15. Discussion WP 5 What are the key factors that affect the potential for upscaling of smart grids throughout India?
- 16. Discussion WP 5
- 17. • The state should be primarily responsible for electrification. • Short projects cannot make long lasting impacts. • Only grid electricity is real electricity. • As people get electricity more, electricity requirements are triggered. • You only have to get it right once. • Solar power is the only way forward.
