The document discusses challenges with the current scientific research system and proposes moving towards a more "open science" model. It notes that the existing system was not designed for knowledge sharing and reproducibility. Open science principles advocate for open access to content, data, code, and materials in order to enable greater collaboration, reuse of results, and transparency. However, moving research practices will require building skills and changing incentives across the scientific community. The document calls for coordinating efforts to provide training, establish best practices, and foster connections to support operating research on the web in a more open and interoperable manner.
Short paper presentation at the The 1st International Digital Libraries for Musicology workshop (DLfM 2014) 12TH SEPTEMBER 2014 (FULL DAY), LONDON, UK in conjunction with the ACM/IEEE Digital Libraries conference 2014.
Keynote talk at the Web Science Summer School, Singapore, 8 December 2014. Today we see the rise of Social Machines, like Twitter, Wikipedia and Galaxy Zoo—where communities identify and solve their own problems, harnessing commitment, local knowledge and embedded skills, without having to rely on experts or governments.
The Social Machines paradigm provides a lens onto the interacting sociotechnical systems of our hybrid digital-physical world, citizen-centric and at scale—emphasising empowerment and sociality in a world of pervasive technology adoption and automation.
This talk will present the Social Machines paradigm as an approach to social media analytics and a rethinking of our scholarly practices and knowledge infrastructure.

In this talk we discuss the results of the survey of software ecosystems researchers conducted in October-December 2014. Researchers have been asked to identify the current trends in ecosystems’ research as well as the challenges the research community has to address in the coming years. We augment discussion of the trends identified by the community by the review of some of the recent results on software ecosystems.

Beyond Preservation: Situating Archaeological Data in Professional PracticeEric Kansa
I presented this lecture at the German Archaeological Institute (DAI) in Berlin on Nov. 6, 2014 (see: http://www.dainst.org/termin/-/event-display/ogNX4Gtxkd87/342513)
The lecture focuses on how archaeological data fits in professional practice. It looks at scholarly communications, government policies toward the sciences and humanities, and professional reward structures.
The lecture then shows examples of how Open Context publishes archeological data, including editorial processes to promote data quality and relate contributed data to the 'Web of Data' using Linked Open Data methods. Research applications of Open Context and linked archaeological data include the Digital Index of North American Archaeology (DINAA) project (see: http://ux.opencontext.org/blog/archaeology-site-data/) and a data integration study exploring the development and dispersal of animal husbandry economies in Epipaleolithic - Chalcolithic Anatolia (see: http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0099845)
The lecture concludes with how archaeologists need to invest more intellectually in the method and theory of modeling and creating data. It also looks at how concepts and expectations of publishing static artifacts need to be revised (using techniques like version control) to enable continued and more transparent revision of data to fix problems, implement new standards, and meet new research goals.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

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.
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.

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.
