The document describes a new workstation concept called "Stories and Venues" that is based on an open source operating system and a new metaphor for organizing and interacting with personal content. It presents the key ideas of stories, which are collections of items populated by messages, documents, and media, and venues, which represent the virtual contexts where stories take place. It also includes diagrams illustrating the interaction design framework and interface layers for this new workstation concept.

The presented work aims to contribute towards
the standardization and the interoperability off the Future
Internet through an open and scalable architecture design.
We present S3OiA as a syntactic/semantic Service-Oriented
Architecture that allows the integration of any type of object
or device, not mattering their nature, on the Internet of
Things. Moreover, the architecture makes possible the use
of underlying heterogeneous resources as a substrate for
the automatic composition of complex applications through
a semantic Triple Space paradigm. Created applications are
dynamic and adaptive since they are able to evolve depending
on the context where they are executed. The validation scenario
of this architecture encompasses areas which are prone to
involve human beings in order to promote personal autonomy,
such as home-care automation environments and Ambient
Assisted Living.

Presentation title: Technology Strategies for Big Data Analytics, by Bernard Blais, Global Strategist and Principal Manager, SAS
The exploding volume, complexity and velocity of big data present an increasing challenge to organizations, but also a significant opportunity to derive valuable insights. As organizations are tasked with managing massive data sets, it’s clear that the value of big data will be derived from the analytics that can be performed on it. Analytics is the key to identifying patterns, managing risks and tackling previously unsolvable problems. This presentation provides an overview of how to comprehensively tackle big data, including emerging strategies for information management, analytics, and high performance analytics.

The pipes of the mobile ad industry aren’t broken — they are in the process of being built. At this stage in the evolution of mobile, knowing what you don’t know is just as valuable as what you do know. While there are significant challenges in mobile ad:tech, none appear insurmountable. In fact, savvy agencies and brands are more excited by the potential for mobile measurement than concerned about current limitations. This session discussed how agencies and marketers are proactively addressing issues, what unique long-term measurement opportunities have been prioritized and why storytelling about mobile ad operations will be crucial to the mobile's industry's future growth.
Continuous Intelligence: Staying Ahead with Streaming AnalyticsInside Analysis
The Briefing Room with Mark Madsen and SQLstream
Live Webcast Mar. 12, 2013
The battle cry of “time to insight” continues to change the way organizations seek insights from their data, big and small. One increasingly popular strategy focus on analyzing data streams, ranging from social media to machine-generated data captured in logs. By focusing on the kind of continuous intelligence that can flow from such analysis, organizations can stay ahead of their competitors by seizing new opportunities, and often avoiding problematic disruptions.
Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to hear veteran Analyst Mark Madsen of Third Nature, as he explains how a new wave of technologies offers a compelling alternative to the traditional means for generating insights. He’ll be briefed by Damian Black of SQLStream who will explain how his company’s platform was designed to enable real-time analysis of multiple data streams. He’ll discuss how streaming analytics can remove the gap between traditional business intelligence and operational systems.

FSter is the first component we (itsme) are releasing to the development community, as an essential part of Guglielmo that might be reused by other projects and applications with similar needs: you can get it from here.
FSter is a virtual file system implementation based on Fuse technology and exploiting Tracker metadata technology to allow access to files according to the metadata they’re associated to. Practically, FSter enables scenarios such as the following ones:
* browsing the content of a drive (or simply of a folder) according to a user-defined hierarchy or progression of filters based on metadata;
* associating metadata to files whenever operations are performed on them. For example, copying or saving a file in a specific place means storing it along with a description (metadata);
* generating “virtual” files from metadata, e.g., a vCard file that is not really on the file system, but dynamically built from metadata.
In order for you to be able to install, use, and extend FSter, or to contribute in any other way, we have set up some tools online:
* a wiki where you can find detailed information on the project, descriptions and instructions: http://gitorious.org/itsme/pages/Fster
* a bug reporting system (i.e., Bugzilla) where you can file any problem you find in our software: http://bugs.itsme.it
* a mailing lists system where you can subscribe to discussions and interact with us and other developers: http://lists.itsme.it
* an IRC channel where you will find (most of) the itsme technical staff all day long (well, Italian time mainly – i.e., GMT +1): #itsme-dev on irc.freenode.net

In the last 30 years, the desktop metaphor has become the standard user interface for workstations, with
its pros (e.g., ease of learning) and cons (e.g., interaction constraints for skilled users, lack of context
awareness). In this tutorial we present itsme, an initiative to create the next-generation workstation –
especially designed for users who think that what they do holds value. Much of what we present derives
from CSCW research, while Interaction Design research shapes the project, as well as the involvement of
a wide and heterogeneous community of contributing people. The early design phases of the project led to
the definition of a new metaphor for personal computing, called ‘stories and venues’. The metaphor is
being adopted for the development of a radically new front-end for the Linux operating system.
The tutorial illustrates (through the itsme case) how CSCW research can drive the design and
development of an innovative project

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
