Redefining distribution channels through open innovation: Lessons from Mobi...Otto Muba
Open service innovation model has in recent years attracted the attention of both practitioners and academia. In essence, the practice of open innovation is a result of recognizingthe enormous potential for developing innovative products beyond the internal capacity of a firm. Based on literature review, this paper discusses the concept of open innovation and subsequently applies the framework to describe and draw lessons from mobile financial services in Tanzania. A case study of the partnership between National Microfinance Bank (NMB) and a mobile network op-erator - Vodacom Tanzania is presented. From this case it is vivid that open innovation approach has been key to redefining the distribution channel of the bank, which subsequently has the po-tential to benefit all stakeholders involved. Finally, by reflecting on the essence and impact of open innovation as illustrated by NMB and Vodacom case, the paper presents key lessons that may be relevant for SMEs and SME policy.
EUREKA is a leading open platform for international cooperation in innovation. It remains to this day the only initiative of its kind committed to the ‘bottom-up’principle - ensuring that any R&D project with a good business plan receives the support it deserves, independent of its technological nature, or the type of organisations involved.
EUREKA exists to help businesses bring their innovation to the market by helping them access public fundings.

O Construcionismo de Papert na criação de objeto de aprendizagem e a avaliaçã...Renato P. dos Santos
Tendo como base a abordagem teórica do Construcionismo, aplicada no processo de aprendizagem, este artigo tem como objetivo investigar a aplicação da teoria de aprendizagem construcionista em um objeto de aprendizagem (narrativa) com a ferramenta computacional Photo Story. Apresenta a criação de um objeto de aprendizagem (narrativa) com a ferramenta computacional Photo Story. A construção de narrativas é uma forma de imersão dos atores (alunos e professores) no ato de aprender, enriquecendo de sobremaneira o conteúdo e inovando a metodologia. Além do mais, ao final descreve-se uma experiência já realizada nesta modalidade inovadora de aprender, dentro da proposta construcionista. Os principais resultados demonstram que o ambiente educacional construcionista interfere positivamente no nível de aprendizagem dos alunos, levando-os a apresentar níveis mais complexos de desenvolvimento cognitivo, apontado a ferramenta taxionomia de Bloom como adequada à avaliação de atividades de aprendizagem realizadas em ambientes educacionais construcionistas.

A very basic presentation giving examples of crowdsourcing platforms and uses. Created in conjunction with the book "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Crowdsourcing."
This presentation contains an overview about things to keep in mind when trying to build a community. As one of the first slides already states: you cannot create a community, it is already there. However you can help the community better in several ways. Therefore a model of the different phases of a member in a community is used. Based on this model several actions are defined which a community manager could take to help the community. The last few slides contain an overview of several well known social media cases.

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.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).

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.

Editor's Notes
Openness – deliberately opening up valuable data and services to the whole world. E.g. Google maps API, Flickr API Open source – Individuals (self selection) and foundations, virtual & spontaneous Linux 12% of server OS market , packaged software running linux worth $35bn in 2008 Mozilla Corporation – says 1 million people contributed to release 2.0 …. - Available in 36 languages at launch, Microsoft Internet Explorer version 7 - only in English … - Massive geographic and numeric scale … made possible by the WWW And lots more … Open APIs & mashups – a service that combines 2 or more other services - Chicagocrime.org Amazon web services has 290,000 developers Facebook has 40,000 developers Google maps – where’s the bus Flickr – shozu, etc. Retrievr – visual input selects appropriate flickr image AWS – create your own specialist virtual store … “aStore” Creative Commons licenses – set of open licenses used to “give away” content but with “some rights reserved” or “no rights reserved” “ copyleft” instead of “copyright” Copyleft = give away rights but insist on the derivative works to do the same Zopa – individuals lending others money … Threadless - create & vote on favourite T-shirt design – winners then get manufactured for sale online Innocentive – bring together people with problems and people with solutions, bio-medial focus “ Disruptive “grassroots” innovations by COINs such as the Internet, the Web, and Linux grew out of research labs and universities with little or no organizational blessing and with minimal budgets. The main drivers of these innovations were not the compensation and reward systems of large corporations, but the dedication and commitment of the researchers and innovators.” Swarm Creativity, Peter Gloor (2006) – page 33
