Accelerating Monetization of M2M/Connected DevicesCartesian
The M2M market is in a significant growth stage, with the opportunity concentrated in select use cases in enterprise verticals. Recent trends show innovation and growth drivers in M2M solutions, however, cost, network standards, and customer knowledge are still issues. In this presentation, Cartesian gives an overview of the monetization opportunities within the M2M ecosystem and reviews developments in the M2M market. It also identifies and analyses key enablers, inhibitors, value chain participants, use cases, and considerations for network operators and other emerging players.
The ability to use voice, mobile apps, SMS, email, websites, chat, video, and social media through a single device is forcing operators to rethink their mobile strategies in the form of offload. With the increased data usage, operator networks become increasingly congested. As such, a smart and dynamic connected interaction is necessary to allow better traffic management with particular capabilities of the device with which it is characterized.
In this paper, we will examine how dynamic data offloading with 3GPP based Access Network Discovery Selection Function (ANDSF) plays its role in the implementation of selective offloading. ANDSF as specified in 3GPP standards describes how the inter-system mobility between 3GPP systems and non-3GPP systems (WLAN, WiMAX, CDMA) policies and priorities can control the conditions for which a device connects to which wireless network. As mobility is becoming a mainstream for customer engagement, operators must ensure contextual continuity is preserved through an integrated approach.

Wi-Fi New Service Models For Next Generation NetworksGreen Packet
In this new era of explosive mobile data growth, rapid rise in mobile broadband services and rich digital content are contributing to unprecedented level of stress on mobile networks. Operators are feeling the pinch on their business models with the arrival of smart devices, leaving them in anxiety and unable to respond to the deluge of data.
As a measure to reduce congestion on their network, several tier 1 operators have discontinued unlimited data plans and launched tiered plans to ensure network performance. At the same time, operators do not want to risk losing a significant growing market of smartphone users that are looking for value added services. It is a challenge for operators to sustain the wave of data, let alone address the dwindling ARPU as the demand of data is outstripping the rate of supply.
The following section of this paper describes the possible options that operators can embrace to overcome the capacity crunch through innovative service models, the impact of Wi-Fi on delivering the right service experience and how emerging technology is pushing further the expectations of “big data”.

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.

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!
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
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.

8. Subscription Management
Manage subscriptions and securely
deliver and activate
subscriptions on demand, in an
optimized way to address
mobile broadband consumer
devices and the emerging
M2M market
To provide “always-on” user experience anywhere, cellular connectivity can become a standard feature
for a growing number of devices beyond mobile phones, adding value and differentiation to both
devices and content.
It is essential that connectivity providers simplify the access to data plans and offer customers flexible
subscriptions that can be easily activates and updated.
This statement is also true for the machine-to-machine market, which is looking for solutions driving
operating costs down by improving business process efficiency, and SLAs guaranteeing performance
levels across the globe.
7
9. Marketplace Services
Use Activation Services to detect
Handset Type and bootstrap device
environment for operator
marketplace.
Having access to the end user
device terminal allows the operator
to promote it’s own applications to
the end user.
Mobile operators have been left out of the value chain in the mobile digital revolution.
Marketplace services allows operators to promote their own applications or third party
applications but always playing a central role in the value chain.
This capability, coupled with the billing relationship with the end user is a powerful
architecture to regain ownership of the data services revenues.
8
10. Marketplace Services: User Experience – Step 1
Showing the smartphone
A smartphone, bought in a store
by a end user
There are neither telecom
application nor mobile agent on
it
Impossible for the operator to
manage or customize it
11. Marketplace Services: User Experience – Step 2
Downloading the client
The type of smartphone is
automatically detected
The end user receives a message to
download the mobile agent onto his
smartphone
He opens the message which
contains a link towards Google
Playstore
The mobile agent is actually stored
on this app
The subscriber can now download
the app which contains the mobile
agent
12. Marketplace Services: User Experience – Step 3
Installing the client
The subscriber receives a
message asking him if he wants
to install the client or not
Once installed, the subscriber
clicks on open to launch the
mobile client
The mobile client is now on
board and it asks the subscriber
if he wants to complete the set up
13. Marketplace Services: User Experience – Step 4
Showing the freshly branded Smartphone
Once the set up is completed, the
Smartphone is branded with the
operator’s identity and
applications
Thanks to the mobile agent telecom
operators will be able to promote
their applications whenever they
want
14. Marketplace Services: Typical Applications
Possible applications
A typical application is the WiFi Offload which enables
operators to balance their
network load and reduce
network congestion
Another application can be the
voice over IP application to
bring full voice solution to
subscribers
The mobile operator can also
download an application to
detect useful device
information such as the OS
version or any other device
capabilities
15. Marketplace Services: Tackle the OTT Players
Opening up possibilities
These are only some examples the
applications that can be promoted by
the operator
Many more are possible…
16. Network Quality
Connectivity with the device can
feedback valuable QoS parameters
in real-time to generate reports on
Network Quality.
By Aggregating KPI from a crowd of
subscribers, views to network and
device performance are provided
with the individual subscriber’s
experience.
Network quality parameters can include time, location, Make & Model to answers questions and
provide insights to network quality:
• What devices contribute most to the worst call setup experience?
• What devices contribute most to the best call performance?
• Which cell sites cause the most Radio Link Failures?
• What equipment in the Network Participates Most In good/poor Service experience?
• Why are the network rejecting attempts to use service?
• How well is a corporate customer being Served?
15
17. Network Quality: What is the Use Case
MNOs increase the quality of its LTE network while offering
optimum experience to its subscribers
On a regular basis (week, month), evaluation of the
network performance: analyze of specific existing
services (activation, polling, …)
Identification of root causes when service
delivered is failing or limited: by area, device (UICC,
UE)
Monitoring of corrective solution
implemented
16
18. Network Quality: What is the Need
MNOs has to ensure high level of satisfaction
to their 4G’s users, while prioritize investments
LTE deployment is booming
by end 2013, 234 commercial LTE networks in 83 countries
(GSA)
In 2016, Pyramid Research forcast 592m LTE
subscriptions, equivalent to 7.3% of all cellular
subscriptions at that time
New services need top quality experience
Video calls (skype, Facetime, ...), Streaming HD,
Cloud storage, Cloud gaming, files download, ...
MNO need to run LTE deployment gradually
Coverage, bandwidth
Quality of new technology implementation
(network, UICC, devices)
17
19. Network Quality: Value Proposition
Help MNO’s to optimize their network planning and
manage the quality during LTE deployment ramp up
Audit root causes with priority to analysis
Measure performance and
provide diagnostic
Count failures and collect alerts

20. WiFi Offload: What is the Use Case
The handset will automatically attach to the already configured
preferred MNO’s WiFi networks
Every time a user enters a predefined area
where WiFi networks are available
And in predefined scenario such as peak hours
(18-20H), pick days (week ends), or specific
location (high traffic density areas such as home,
offices, coffee shop, …)
The handset automatically handover to the
preferred network
