A presentation that walks the viewer through 2 art projects. In each projects data is collected from an environment, both environments are very different from each other. Mongolia with its wide steppes and rural areas and the very dense and highly developed city-state Singapore. Both projects make use of diy instruments and techniques to collect data which is then translated into artifacts using custom built software and hardware. the final outcomes are then exhibited and presented in public and semi public spaces. Both projects promote process over outcome, environmental consciousness, investigations driven by personal interest and motivation, alternative approaches to institutionalised methods of sensing an environment, enabling discourse and inspiration across disciplines, practice of citizen science, empowerment through coding. Presented in April 2014 at the resonate.io festival in Belgrade, Serbia.
Into the Night - Technology for citizen scienceMuki Haklay
Current citizen science seems effortless...just download an app and start using it. However, there are many technical aspects that are necessary to make a citizen science project work. In this session, we will provide an overview of all the technical elements that are required - from the process of designing an app., to designing and managing a back-end system, to testing the system end to end before deployment. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a short exercise to consider the design of an app for a citizen science project that addresses light pollution.

In this talk, I will introduce the future technical and social impact of open data on the open platform. Nowadays, web technology, whose process of standardization is open and independent of vendors, has evolved into an application platform on various devices such as PC, mobile and embedded devices. Developers of web-standards and web-based application are now trying to integrate a map technology tightly into the web standards for the future mobile web-based applications. As an organizer of a workshop aiming to discuss the future web-based map technology, I will introduce emerging technology and discussion in this area. At the workshop I held in Tokyo, Japan in 2012, many developers and researchers in various communities such as OpenStreetMap, FOSS4G, HTML5, and Linked OpenData gathered and had an enthusiastic discussion. I will summarize the discussion and future perspective at the workshop in my talk in order to discuss future technical and social possibility of OpenStreetMap on web-based open platform.

Bespoke Map Customization Behavior and Its Implications for the Design of Mul...Beat Signer
Presentation given at MUM 2017, 16th International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia, Stuttgart, Germany, November 2017
ABSTRACT: While popular digital maps support an unprecedented number of use cases, new reference map customization tools have been created for purposes for which those maps fall short. With the goal of informing the design of this new class of cartographic tools, we present the first study of naturalistic (“bespoke”) map customization behavior. Through a mixed methods and mixed-media approach involving a survey, the analysis of a corpus of customized maps, and an interview with a power user, we find that bespoke map customization is a relatively common activity and identify frequent use cases as well as map customization strategies. We discuss these use cases and strategies in detail, and propose design implications for future customization tools, such as the use of templates for common use cases, adaptability for various customization styles and the support of multimedia interaction.

The Uses of Storytelling In Simplifying the Complex Concept in ProgrammingKhairul Shafee Kalid
The use of storytelling as a teaching tool for programming courses is explored in this presentation slide. One of the purpose of using stories in teaching is that stories simplifies complex concept. This slides contains the development of a prototype that could facilitate the process of constructing stories for programming. The stories can be use by the instructor in class to demonstrate complex programming concepts.
SGCI - The Science Gateways Community Institute: International Collaboration ...Sandra Gesing
Science gateways - also called virtual research environments or virtual labs - allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, instruments, and other resources specific to their disciplines. The US Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI), opened in August 2016, provides free resources, services, experts, and ideas for creating and sustaining science gateways. It offers five areas of services to the science gateway developer and user communities: the Incubator, Extended Developer Support, the Scientific Software Collaborative, Community Engagement and Exchange, and Workforce Development. While all these services are available to US-based communities, the Incubator, the Scientific Software Collaborative and the Community Engagement and Exchange serve also the international communities. SGCI aims at supporting beyond borders on international scale with diverse measures and to form and deepen collaborations with partner organizations and coalitions beneficial and/or related to the science gateways community. Research topics are independent of national borders and researchers spread worldwide can benefit from each other’s research results, software, data and from lessons learned — via online materials and publications or at international events. The gateway community has benefitted from this type of exchange for years and one mission of SGCI is to support the international community. This talk will present related work describing the benefits of international collaborations generally, and specifically as they relate to science gateways. It will go into detail regarding SGCI’s ongoing work on an international scale and SGCI's work planned in the near future to foster collaborations under consideration of challenges such as different timezones and long distances between collaborators.

Inszenierte Analyse - Von attraktiver Visualisierung zu tieferem VerständnisTill Nagel
https://uclab.fh-potsdam.de/cf/
Folien des Vortrags auf dem UX-Day 2016 http://www.ux-day.de/till-nagel/
Im Rahmen von Ausstellungen müssen Datenvisualisierungen zunächst die Aufmerksamkeit von Besuchern gewinnen, sie einladen sich länger mit dem Exponat zu beschäftigen und sie dann behutsam durch komplexere Abläufe hindurch führen.
In diesem Beitrag stelle ich das Konzept der inszenierten Analyse vor und beleuchte es mit Hilfe einer Fallstudie zur Visualisierung urbaner Mobilität in einem öffentlichen Ausstellungsraum.
Wir erkunden anhand von Visualisierungen verschiedener Bike-Sharing Systeme, wie Bürger von attraktiven Darstellungen vielfältiger Bewegungsströme zu einer visuellen Analyse zeitlicher und räumlicher Muster geführt werden können.
In diesem Beitrag erläutere ich unsere Designziele und das Ausstellungskonzept, demonstriere Beispiele unseres Prototypen und diskutiere einige der Erkenntnisse, die wir durch Beobachtung der Besucher unserer Ausstellung erreichen konnten.

Unfolding the City - Urban Mobility VisualizationsTill Nagel
Slides for my talk at Architecture IO 2014 in London. Watch it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjA98jhz1KY
In recent years more and more data about the city is digitally collected. This data from sources such as mobile phones, sensors, and location-based services can be visualised to reflect urban activity. Usable and approachable geovisualisations allow casual users and experts alike to make sense of this data, to see the city in different perspectives, and to understand their environment.
In my talk, I explore the challenges in urban data visualisation, as well as showcase multiple projects that demonstrate current approaches to and new thinkings about urban mobility.

Sankey Arcs - Visualizing edge weights in path graphsTill Nagel
Presentation at EuroVis 2012, Vienna, Austria.
Find our paper at
http://tillnagel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Nagel-SankeyArcs-EuroVis11.pdf
Arc diagrams allow exploring relations and their strength between sequential nodes. Previous solutions suffer from displaying all arcs at the center of a node, which can lead to visual obstruction. We present a new technique, which extends the arc diagram technique by laying out the weighted edges of a node adjacent to each other. The aim of our Sankey Arc technique is to improve clarity, to enable users perceiving and comparing weighted edges in path graphs. The technique is illustrated using a dataset on travel paths in a public transit network.
