keynote at Irish HCI, Limerick, 2nd Nov 2018 http://alandix.com/academic/talks/IHCI-deep-digitality-2018/ We constantly hear about disruptive technology, but how radical is the change due to digital technology? In the hills and mountains of the South Wales coal valleys, rivers radiate out and then south toward the sea. This seems reasonable until you learn that the geology beneath is a syncline a basin-shaped structure of rock strata. The current rivers form a superimposed drainage pattern, the routes the rivers ran before the geology changed. As the ground rose and sank below, the rivers maintained their old courses, a relic of a one hundred million year past. In reality digital technology is often like this, largely reinforcing the existing structures of power and organisation in government, commerce and health. The digital geology is changing beneath our feet and yet digital technology cuts the same paths. Can we reimagine industry and civic society if digital technology had come first, before the industrial revolution and maybe even before the rise of the mercantile class?

Computing on the Edge – Pervasive Displays for a Small Island

Alan Dix

Keynote at Eighth ACM International Symposium on Pervasive Displays (PerDis), Palermo, Italy, 12-14 June 2019 https://alandix.com/academic/talks/PerDis2019/ In a rural community your neighbours know your business before you do. Why then would you need public displays? For ten years I lived and worked on Tiree, a small island in the North Atlantic off the western coast of Scotland. Six hundred and fifty people are spread over a land area greater than Manhattan. Although it is impossible to keep a secret, it is also very hard to share information deliberately. Indeed, when the island youth worker was asked what was the greatest difficulty of her role, he said, “letting people know about events”. The talk will present a number of communication technologies deployed on the island from SMS and offline mobile technology, to forms of situated public displays … albeit not all of the kind that are common in PerDis. Many were developed in connection with Tiree Tech Wave a regular maker/meeting event that brought together technologists, designers, and artists to understand the unique challenges of computing at the edges. I will discuss some of the special issues of designing technology in and for remote communities as well as reflecting on more general lessons for pervasive displays anywhere.

In this presentation I consider the nature of current state of "crowdsourcing" designs, and pose that the management of information can be a potent form of collaborative participation with "civic media." "Civic media is any form of communication that strengthens the social bonds within a community or creates a strong sense of civic engagement among its residents. Civic media goes beyond news gathering and reporting." - http://civic.mit.edu/ I base my thoughts on experiences with http://haiti.ushahidi.com.

Crowds, Maps and Hacks: Digital Volunteerism and Multi-Sector Collaboration

International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies

Govcamp.ca 2011 Talk: Digital Volunteerism and Multi-Sector Collaboration Melanie Gorka, Heather Leson, and Brian Chick will give an introduction to volunteer technical communities who have partnered with international NGO's, the UN, the World Bank and crisis response organizations and have leveraged the power of crowd-sourcing in times of need. Thousands of digital volunteers have been utilized after disasters in Haiti and Chile, and more recently in New Zealand and Japan. Participants collaborate within a number of volunteer technical communities including: CrisisCommons (CrisisCamp), Crisismappers, Ushahidi and Random Hacks of Kindness (RHoK). We will present stories of global crowdsourcing, mapping and hackathons. People and communities innovate for crisis response and global development through technology tools, expertise and problem solving. The various groups collaborate in an open environment to aggregate crisis data, map situational awareness, develop prototype tools, run hackathons for social good and train people on how to use technology tools in new and inspiring ways.. Each of us build partnerships with government organizations on how to use crowdsourcing and digital volunteerism in emergency preparedness. This panel will discuss the future of digital volunteerism in Canada and around the world and the way in which these tools can be used for social good in collaboration with local, federal and provincial governments.

Podcamp Toronto: Crowdsourcing Crisis Commons

International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies

How can you use your technology and social media skills to help NGOs during emergencies? All you need is a computer and Internet access. CrisisCommons.org is a Volunteer Technical Community (VTC) made up of a growing group of technical, project manager, emergency planner and social media knowledge workers. After the earthquake in Haiti, cities around North America and the UK started CrisisCamp (Haiti) in their locations to volunteer their time to "help the helpers". They are using social media tools to crowdsource collaboration on various projects from software development to opensource mapping to social media translation – work that is new and evolving every minute. Heather, Brian, Rachel and others from CrisisCommons (Toronto) will be addressing the question how can technology and knowledge workers volunteer their skills with one click of a mouse.

The Future of Geocoded Addressing in Australia

Maurits van der Vlugt

This presentation presents a future vision for the year 2020, when geocoded communication of location in Australia will comprise the infrastructure, processes and knowledge that enable accurate, trusted, timely and unambiguous translation of a descriptive tag to a place in time and 3-dimensional space. In this vision, the broad community captures, maintains and shares geocoded location data. Confidence in the data comes from its single source of truth, its transparency and auditable provenance. Government’s role is that of a facilitator, ensuring trust, setting relevant standards and (open data) policies, while the market provides value-add, fit for purpose channels. Users will have access to geocoded location data that is trusted, has a greater resolution than is available through ‘traditional’ notion of address, allows greater ease of communication of location, and supports fitness for purpose geocodes, access points, and tags.

Canterbury Plugfest: Geospatial Interoperability Works!

Maurits van der Vlugt

Confronted with a major crisis in the form of the destructive Canterbury earthquakes of 2010/11, various information communities in Christchurch, New Zealand were suddenly compelled to re-engineer business-as-usual information sharing practices. The former ways of doing things would not scale to meet the new demands for timely and up-to-date information. They addressed the challenge by adopting standards-based interoperable services to share geospatial information. These achieved efficiencies critical to the disaster response and are on-going for the recovery processes. Sharing information is one step; Christchurch Earthquake recovery partners defined a further ambition to transact updates between one another, on their different platforms. To accelerate cross-platform interoperability, the recovery partners, with support from LINZ, hosted a so-called ‘Plugfest’ in May 2012. Within three days a working solution between four vendor platforms was implemented and demonstrated, based on OGC compliant, transactional web-services. This presentation outlines what was achieved and how. It also invites the audience to consider whether other communities could do likewise i.e. leverage similar benefits, without a catastrophe as catalyst? Establishing geospatial web services as the new ‘business as usual’.

Who's afraid of Neo-Geography?

Maurits van der Vlugt

In the first decade of the 21st century, we've seen the business of location intelligence moving well beyond the traditional domains of surveying, remote sensing and spatial analysis. Sometimes referred to as 'neo-geography', we see the rapid emergence of location technologies in new areas such as Location-based Marketing, Augmented Reality, Crowdsourcing, Crisis Mapping, and Gaming. Most of these implementations are (very successfully) being developed by non-GIS practitioners, who don't know, nor care, about projections, topology, or CORS networks. This presentation will look at this rapidly moving field through some recent examples, and poses questions such as: should we be worried, and will there be any registered surveyors left in 20 years time?

Spatial data supply chains in Australia and New Zealand

Maurits van der Vlugt

There are a multitude of organisations in Australia and New Zealand pursuing spatial data supply chain initiatives. There is little to no co-ordination of these developments, leading to duplication of effort, wasted investment and missed opportunities. This presentation presents the results of the CRC-SI “Alignment Study”; an inventory of these initiatives, gaps and overlaps and research opportunities that arise.

Providing timely, location enabled information to responders and citizens is critical in managing major emergencies such as bushfires. In major recent events (Canberra 2003, Victoria 2009), traditional communication technologies and methods could not cope sufficiently with the magnitude of the event. More recently and abroad (notably the Haiti Earthquake) Web 2.0 technologies are proving to be invaluable enhancements to traditional information management practices, helping save property and lives.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support

Alan 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.

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object Calisthenics

Dorra 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!
