ids have been bullying each other for gener-
ations. The latest generation, however, has
been able to utilize technology to expand
their reach and the extent of their harm. This phe-
nomenon is being called cyberbullying, defined as:
“willful and repeated harm inflicted through the use
of computers, cell phones, and other electronic de-
vices.” Basically, we are referring to incidents where
adolescents use technology to harass, threaten, hu-
miliate, or otherwise hassle their peers. For exam-
ple, youth can send hurtful text messages to others
or spread rumors using smartphones or tablets.
Teens have also created web pages, videos, and
profiles on social media platforms making fun of
others. With mobile devices, adolescents have tak-
en pictures in a bedroom, a bathroom, or another
location where privacy is expected, and posted or
distributed them online. Others have recorded un-
authorized videos of other kids and uploaded them
for the world to see, rate, tag, and discuss. Still oth-
ers are embracing anonymous apps or chat func-
tionality on gaming networks to tear down or hu-
miliate others.
What are some negative effects that cyber-
bullying can have on a person?
There are many detrimental outcomes associated
with cyberbullying that reach into the real world.
First, many targets report feeling depressed, sad,
angry, and frustrated. As one teenager stated: “It
makes me hurt both physically and mentally. It
scares me and takes away all my confidence. It
makes me feel sick and worthless.” Those who are
victimized by cyberbullying also reveal that they are
often afraid or embarrassed to go to school. In ad-
dition, research has revealed a link between cyber-
bullying and low self-esteem, family problems, aca-
demic difficulties, school violence, and various de-
linquent behaviors. Finally, cyberbullied youth also
report having suicidal thoughts, and there have
been a number of examples in the United States
and abroad where youth who were victimized end-
ed up taking their own lives.
Where does cyberbullying commonly occur?
Cyberbullying occurs across a variety of venues and
mediums in cyberspace, and it shouldn’t come as a
surprise that it occurs most often where teenagers
congregate. Initially, many kids hung out in chat
rooms, and as a result that is where most harass-
ment took place. In recent years, most youth are
have been drawn to social media (such as Insta-
gram, Snapchat, and Twitter) and video-sharing
sites (such as YouTube). This trend has led to in-
creased reports of cyberbullying occurring in those
environments. Voice chat, textual chat, and texting
via phones or tablets also can provide an environ-
ment in whi.

"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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

Editor's Notes
Good afternoon! I would like to thank the invitation for being here today.My presentation is about Youth, episodes of online violence and issues that worry researchers. So, this presentation is about people, names and stories…But first I’m going to need your help. I’m going to make three questions and I’m going to ask you to raise your hand if your answer to my question is an YES, ok?Let’s start then…
Do you have a mobile phone?
Do you have a personal computer?
Do you have a public profile in a SNS (social networking site)?It was easy right?! Thank you very much for your help.
As you could witnessed…nearly all of you answered with an YES to all my questions. And why is that?! That happens because:Youth embraced ICT in everyday life and Because the Internet and the communication technologies are vital means of self-expression and represent a central part of youth social lives, using it for chatting, sharing ideas, pictures, videos and so on…
But though, most young people use technology with responsibility, is also true (or a fact) that a disturbing and significant number of young people aremisusing Internet and digital technologies to bully andto harass others.
According to a study made by the Cyberbullying Research Center…nearly 20% of young people reported experiencing cyberbullying in their lifetimesAnother study made by Cox Communications and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children indicates that about 1 in 10 teens have cyberbullied someone online or by text message
Trust… Trust is this movie, that tells the story of a common family dealing with a darker side of Internet. Annie is a fourteen-years-old common girl. She hangs out with friends, she likes sports and like any other young girl, Annie has a mobile phone and a laptop.She uses it for talking with friends; make the schoolwork research; listening to music… But, she also uses it for talking with a boy… she met online…One day, they finally arrange to meet. After months of online communication with this first boyfriend, Annie discovers that that boy is not who he REALLY claimed to be…Well, lets see the trailer, before we continue…
I chose this movie because Annie suffers several kinds of violence in the story… the repeated emotional rejection of the man that abused her; the rejection by the peers;the consequences in the family atmosphere; the signs of distrust; and the emotional stress that leads her trying to commit suicide…Unfortunately…. though we know this is fiction… it is also a very real story about online predation and its consequences…
Leslie, 12 years old…Leslie experienced cyberstalking from her 12 and 11 years old girlfriends. Her girlfriends used Leslie’s password to post sexually explicit content on her Facebook page and they sent instant messages to arrange sex meetings for the victim.This is a real life story…
Megan Meier, age 13She met a boy online. After months of courtship, the boy became aggressive with Megan…. and ended the relationship. This episode had an huge influence on her and she committed suicide. After this tragic episode, her parents discovered this story and they also discovered that that boy never existed. That boy was an invention of her neighbours a girlfriend and her motherThey decided to create that boy for funReallife stories…
Jessica, 18…Sent a nude photo to her boyfriend, after they broke up, her ex-boyfriend sent that photo to her schoolmates.She felt so miserable, depressed and even afraid to attend classes, so she committed suicide… At age 13, Hope, took her life, because she coulnd’t stand to be bullied anymore…
I could go on telling stories… other people stories… their stories… our stories….
What kind of violence is this that makes young people get so desperate to take their own lives?There is no doubt that there is a new kind of violence, a social cruelty, 21st century style.Before the Internet, children could fear most for their physical integrity, but despite all, children felt safer... Because they could hide and feel safe in the quiet of their room… but with the communication technologies… no one can hide ... In the offline world, the aggressor needs to be stronger to maintain the power and control over the victim… Online, the aggressor succeeds if he has ICT skills and masters to uncover his identity…Online, the aggressor can act anonymous or he can use several identities…this makes it difficult to identify and punish the aggressor.The several media possibilities also gives advantage to the predator…Online violence it’s a 24/7 pursuit that can happen anywhere, everywhere and anytime. Violence on the network can get dangerously intense, intensive and inhumane. Some researchers suggest that this happen, because maybe for the aggressor turns out easier to hurt someone when he does not see the hurt and harm that he’s doing…
So…In this hybrid and liquid universe of the internet, there is a very thin line between opportunity and risk…There is no doubt that new kinds of violence arise…So… what is online violence???Violence online is a perverse, negative, hostile, deliberate and repeated behavior that happens in the virtual world and represents an emotional, psychological, social, and sometimes even physical threat to the victim.
Before finishing….I would like to leave you with some trends to reflect about future challenges…Children are accessing the Internet increasingly younger…2-3 y old and giving their 1st steps online…
Most of the times, parents are not aware that theirs children are in situations of risk…Although, they think they are…
Although there are fewer episodes of violence online than those that occur offline, that doesn’t mean they are still less of a concern…
On the web everyone and everything is traceable and can easily be used against us by ill-hearted people
What you share online may put you in a fragile place of risk and insecurity. So… Think before you post!!!
What adults regard as risks (for example, meeting strangers), children often see as opportunities (for example, making new friends)They both are right!!....
Internet is not only about the risks, it is also a ladder of opportunities, and though children will always have to deal with online risks, this doesn’t necessarily result in an experience of harmSo… surfing in the internet is like taking a walk in the park it can be quite and peaceful or not… and it always has it’s bright and dark side… But you can choose which way to go, when to stop and when to ask for help…
So, finally, I leave you with this provocative question…How can all of us create a positive world online?
