9 things no one told me about running a business
The document lists 9 things that the author was not told about running a business. These include that everyone wants to know why you failed, not to try starting multiple businesses at once, that no one will lend you money, not to hire anyone at first, that it's rare to achieve both fame and fortune, that no one is irreplaceable, you'll never work for free again, you'll remain unemployable, and that running a business will change you forever. The author wishes the reader good luck.
Making, not designing the internet of things.
This document discusses the differences between design and making in the context of the Internet of Things. It notes that a maker process involves taking an idea and turning it into a prototype then promoting, funding, manufacturing and distributing it, while a design process involves mockups and protecting the idea before selling and manufacturing. The document advocates that design should be an open and collaborative process of learning like the maker process. It highlights how hardware is now cheaper to make and sharing ideas is important for progress in the IoT field.

Design for repairability / Green shoots
- The document is a talk given by Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino to the Glasgow School of Art on sustainable electronics.
- It discusses how design can help reduce electronic waste by making products more durable, modular, repairable and able to use recycled materials. Key strategies include design for repair, reducing material use, increasing modularity and avoiding planned obsolescence.
- Examples of "weak signals" pioneering sustainability include repair cafes, tool libraries, university courses on repair and regulations supporting right to repair. The talk promotes an educational approach to design for repairability.
Repairable by design
This document provides an agenda and background information for an open discussion on teaching repair. The discussion will involve a roundtable where participants share how they currently teach or learn repair, as well as best practices. Resources that currently exist for teaching repair are noted, including through grassroots organizations, maker spaces, limited training for designers and engineers, and specific programs from The Restart Project for schools. Education approaches are shared from organizations like Fixperts, and integrating repair into industrial design education. Considerations for physical/digital repair and the built environment are also listed.
Ideas to reframe your corporate innovation activities
The document provides 5 ideas for companies to reframe their corporate innovation activities. It suggests examining the physical and psychological spaces made for new ideas, whether deep thinking is encouraged over constant partial attention, who is in charge of having new ideas and if they stay long enough to have an impact, how staff turnover affects innovation efforts, and provides contact information for further resources.
Good for who? Understanding the challenges of implementing good design
This document discusses the changing impact of design in the context of various crises. It notes that products are no longer the sole focus or endpoint of design. A culture focused on convenience has made it difficult to deal with complexity and take long-term action. Design must consider social and environmental impacts equally. Designers need to expand beyond single-use personas to collective use cases and understand their limited impact. The document calls for rethinking how to design with openness, interoperability, data governance, security, and lifecycles in mind.
Good for who? Understanding the challenges of implementing good design
This document discusses challenges in implementing good design for IoT products and reducing e-waste. It notes that service providers play a key role through how products are connected, used, and discarded. A lack of liability and design failures can lead to e-waste. It recommends designing for interoperability, openness, data governance, ownership, security, and lifecycles. Companies should evaluate their business beyond just products to reduce e-waste and prepare for policy changes.
Connected Product Experiences
This document discusses several connected product experiences and the lessons learned from them. It covers Philips Hue smart lights, Centrica Hive home automation, Wiithings health trackers, HP Instant Ink printer ink subscriptions, and Bosch's IoT cloud platform. Key lessons include reacting quickly to competitors or early customer interest; expanding product lines while de-risking with spinoffs; leveraging an existing brand; and engaging developers through open source approaches.
IoT & Public Space
The document outlines a presentation about how IoT can impact public places. The presentation will discuss 6 topics: safety and security, maintenance, health and public good, biodiversity and conservation, transport and signage, and accessibility. It will explore how IoT can benefit these areas of public life. The presenter thanks the audience and provides contact information to learn more about their work analyzing the societal effects of IoT technology.
Invisible colleges: wealth, friends and fame in art and design.
The document discusses the invisible colleges of early 20th century designers and artists. It mentions several pioneering women in the fields of home economics and design who established experimental stations and bureaus of information to share knowledge. It also lists influential male designers and the collaborations, friendships, and sometimes tensions between notable figures like Eileen Gray, Josef Hoffmann, and Lily Reich. The document stresses that an individual's practice is always connected to and influenced by the work of others.
Creating a Culture of Innovation
The document discusses lessons for creating a culture of innovation within an organization. It outlines that an optimal environment considers physical, virtual, and psychological work spaces that allow new ideas to flourish. It also notes that how outsiders interact with a company can bring in new ideas or act as a barrier. Additionally, the document states that innovative ideas can come from anyone, not just certain personality types, and that conditions must allow for open expression of ideas.
Don't press snooze: design in a crisis.
This document discusses the need for designers to address societal crises through their work. It notes that individual solutions have not worked and that collective action is needed. The document suggests that designers look at a variety of economic frameworks and work on meaningful local projects with friends to have impact.
Death by a thousand cuts: information fatigue in the smart cities of tomorrow.
Death by a thousand cuts: information fatigue in the smart cities of tomorrow. Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino
Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino discusses the problem of "information fatigue" that will arise from smart cities. She has analyzed many smart city projects and published works on public space and how technology is affecting it. While technology promises solutions, policy changes are needed but governments are slow to act. Emerging methods of collaboration and civic engagement, both online and offline, may help address problems that persist due to social rather than technological factors. Effective communication is key to engaging people and finding solutions.More from Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino (20)

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.
