The workshop covered topics related to the sharing economy including case studies of distributed computing projects like BOINC and World Community Grid. It discussed how these projects utilize volunteers' idle computing power for scientific research. The workshop also looked at the European Sharing Economy Coalition and ways for companies to embrace sharing business models. Business model design methods like the Business Model Canvas and Value Proposition Canvas were presented as tools to develop sharing economy ideas and evaluate opportunities.
Moving from a Sharing Economy to a Shared EconomyChelsea Rustrum
The sharing economy is great, but how do we integrate sharing into the very fabric of business? How can we build communities that are also companies? How can we distribute value in the form of ownership and governance to users, members, providers, participants, etc.? Using new age finance models, business structures, and current thinking, we can create hybrids that do just that!

We need to integrate sharing into the fabric of business and interaction. There are some emerging paradigm technology examples that flip venture funding, crowd funding, value distribution, ownership, and governance on it’s side. A few examples: the DAO fund, funding 100% on the blockchain, Peerby, which crowdfunded $2 million from users, and a whole host […]

PRESS RELEASE
NEW RESEARCH GETS INTO THE UNDERBELLY OF THE SHARING ECONOMY
A U.S. Study by Leo Burnett Decodes What Brands Need to Know About the Future of American Entrepreneurship
CHICAGO – A new study by global advertising agency Leo Burnett, “The Sharing Economy: Where We Go From Here,” reveals the surprising and unspoken realities of the sharing economy in America and what’s truly happening in it. The research provides insights into how people perceive, and participate in, the sharing economy.
“The sharing economy is taking on a life of its own, but it is much more nuanced than we realized,” said Chief Strategy Officer Mick McCabe, Leo Burnett USA. “Our research reveals the psychology and the behaviors of sharers that can help guide brands including why people share and why they do not.”
Sharing has more texture than what’s largely reported in the media. People are chiefly motivated by practical needs, convenience and the ability to save or make money. A nominal 35 percent of people are primarily motivated to share by altruism, community and the environment.
About Humans Being
Inspired by Leo Burnett’s HumanKind philosophy, Humans Being is a thought leadership series and ongoing exploration that pieces together the story of us. It’s a study on the changing face of humanity in culture, society, emotion, values and the human condition. We explore the intersection of where cultural trends become norms and ultimately mores. Humans Being “Sharing” follows the “Relationships” and “Technology” editions that explore the cultural and technological influences on relationships and the changing role of technology in society.

Data Science: History repeated? – The heritage of the Free and Open Source GI...Peter Löwe
Data Science is described as the process of knowledge extraction from large data sets by means of scientific
methods. The discipline draws heavily from techniques and theories from many fields, which are jointly used to
furthermore develop information retrieval on structured or unstructured very large datasets. While the term Data
Science was already coined in 1960, the current perception of this field places is still in the first section of the hype cycle according to Gartner, being well en route from the technology trigger stage to the peak of inflated
expectations.
In our view the future development of Data Science could benefit from the analysis of experiences from
related evolutionary processes. One predecessor is the area of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The
intrinsic scope of GIS is the integration and storage of spatial information from often heterogeneous sources, data
analysis, sharing of reconstructed or aggregated results in visual form or via data transfer. GIS is successfully
applied to process and analyse spatially referenced content in a wide and still expanding range of science
areas, spanning from human and social sciences like archeology, politics and architecture to environmental and
geoscientific applications, even including planetology.
This paper presents proven patterns for innovation and organisation derived from the evolution of GIS,
which can be ported to Data Science. Within the GIS landscape, three strategic interacting tiers can be denoted: i) Standardisation, ii) applications based on closed-source software, without the option of access to and analysis of the implemented algorithms, and iii) Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) based on freely accessible program code enabling analysis, education and ,improvement by everyone. This paper focuses on patterns gained from the synthesis of three decades of FOSS development. We identified best-practices which evolved from long term FOSS projects, describe the role of community-driven global umbrella organisations such as OSGeo, as well as the standardization of innovative services. The main driver is the acknowledgement of a meritocratic attitude.
These patterns follow evolutionary processes of establishing and maintaining a web-based democratic culture
spawning new kinds of communication and projects. This culture transcends the established compartmentation and
stratification of science by creating mutual benefits for the participants, irrespective of their respective research
interest and standing. Adopting these best practices will enable
A open science presentation focusing on the benefits to be gained and basic practices to follow. This was given on behalf of FOSTER at the Open Science Boos(t)camp event at KU Leuven on 24th October 2014.
(Em)Powering Science: High-Performance Infrastructure in Biomedical ScienceAri Berman
We’ll explore current and future considerations in advanced computing architectures that empower the conversion of data into knowledge. Life sciences produce the largest amount of data production out of all major science domains, making analytics and scientific computing cornerstones of modern research programs and methodologies. We’ll highlight the remarkable biomedical discoveries that are emerging through combined efforts, and discuss where and how the right infrastructure can catalyze the advancement of human knowledge. On-premises architectures as well as cloud, hybrid, and exotic architectures will all be discussed. It’s likely that all life science researchers will required advanced computing to perform their research within the next year. However, there has been less focus on advanced computing infrastructures across the industry due to the increased availability of public cloud infrastructure anything as a service models.

CINECA webinar slides: Data Gravity in the Life Sciences: Lessons learned fro...CINECAProject
We live in an era of cloud computing. Many of the services in the life sciences are keenly planning cloud transformations, seeking to create globally distributed ecosystems of harmonised data based on standards from organisations like GA4GH. CINECA faces similar challenges, gathering cohort datasets from all over the globe, many of which are pinned in place, due to their size, legal restrictions, or other considerations. But is “bringing compute to the data” always the right choice? In this webinar, based on experiences from the Human Cell Atlas Data Coordination Platform and other projects from EMBL-EBI, we will explore the concept of “data gravity”: The idea that whilst there are forces that may hold data in one place, there are others that require it to be mobile. We’ll consider how effectively planning a cloud strategy requires consideration of the gravity of datasets, and the impact it may have on team skills required, incentives for good practice, and storage and compute costs.
The CINECA webinar series aims to discuss ways to address common challenges and share best practices in the field of cohort data analysis, as well as distribute CINECA project results. All CINECA webinars include an audience Q&A session during which attendees can ask questions and make suggestions. Please note that all webinars are recorded and available for posterior viewing.

Емоционалната и социалната форми на интелигентност не са нови понятия. Аристотел споменава за “рядкото умение да бъдеш гневен на правилния човек, в правилна степен, в правилното време, с правилната цел, и по правилния начин.” Дарвин работи върху “значението на емоционалното изразяване за оцеляването на видовете и тяхната адаптация.”
The Theory of Change Framework and its Application in the Field of L&DHristian Daskalov
The author looks into the theory of change as a method for exploring the effects from the application of technology innovations in the field of career counseling. The application of innovative blockchain technologies is critically looked at. In 2015, Philipp Schmidt, the director of learning innovation at the MIT Media Lab, begins issuing internal, non-academic digital blockchain-based certificates to his team. Schmidt had realized that, despite the rise of decentralized, informal online learning opportunities, there was no digital way to track and manage these accomplishments. He says he became interested in finding a "more modular credentialing environment, where you would get some kind of recognition for lots of things you did throughout your life". 4 years later, Hristian Daskalov looks into a method for assessment of the actual effect of such and other innovations in the world of education and professional development by discussing the experience of MIT and OS.University (among others) as early adopters of DLT (distributed ledger technologies).

Crisis' Heritage Management - New Business Opportunities Out of the Financial...Hristian Daskalov
This presentation intends to present the opportunities emerging for the national economy, out of the financial crisis. In particular the management of those, which arise from the commercial real estate owned property sector, defined by the author as a „crisis’ heritage management”. On one hand, as real estate property prices are subject of wide fluctuations, the longer possession of such assets can seriously impact the financial condition of the already shattered financial institutions, but on the on other, with the help of professional and proactive management and the right kind of attitude by all the stakeholders, the „heritage”, left out of the financial collapse, can not only help stabilize the system - bringing liquidity into it, but can also support its healthy corporate governance in the long-term. The properties themselves (business buildings, warehouses, retail- and office spaces), being an object of optimization of maintenance costs, reengineering, intensive marketing, as a result of the crisis, can serve as a solid base for number of new and profitable business and investment opportunities, described in the present article, as a proof of the healing effect of the financial crisis and the „second chance” it gives.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
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”.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/
15. GOALS OF BOINC
• Reduce the barriers of entry to public-resource computing:
• A project can be run from a single computer running standard
open-source software
• Share resources among autonomous projects:
• Each PC owner can join multiple projects
• Results in better resource utilization
• Support diverse applications:
• Offer various data distribution mechanisms
• Support various programming languages
• …
• Reward participants:
• Mostly by giving them credits
• System must be cheating-resistant
• Also by offering nice graphics
• Great screensavers!

17. ATLAS@Home is a research project that uses volunteer computing
to run simulations of the ATLAS experiment at CERN.
Everyone can participate by downloading and running a free
program on any computer.
ATLAS is a particle physics experiment taking place at the Large
Hadron Collider at CERN, that searches for new particles and
processes using head-on collisions of protons of extraordinary high
energy.
Petabytes of data were recorded, processed and analyzed during
the first three years of data taking, leading to up to 300
publications covering all the aspects of the Standard Model of
particle physics, including the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012.
Large scale simulation campaigns are a key ingredient for
physicists, who permanently compare their data with both "known"
physics and "new" phenomena predicted by alternative models of
the universe, particles and interactions.
This simulation runs on the WLCG Computing Grid and at any one
point there are around 150,000 tasks running. Everyone can help us
run even more simulation by using your computer's idle time to run
these same tasks.

27. Under these assumptions, running BOINC costs about $3/month
more than leaving your computer on but idle, and about
$8.80/month more than leaving it off all the time. Running BOINC
in Europe costs more than running BOINC in the USA, but that's
true for running any computer, not just BOINC.
COST OF 1 TFLOPS/YEAR
• Cluster: $145K
– Computing hardware; power/AC infrastructure;
network hardware; storage; power; sysadmin
• Cloud: $1.75M
• Volunteer: $1K - $10K
– Server hardware; sysadmin; web development
PERFORMANCE
500K people, 1M computers
6.5 PetaFLOPS (3 from GPUs, 1.4 from PS3s)
Potential of 2 billion PCs

How to get 1 ExaFLOPS:
4M GPUs * 0.25 availability
How to get 1 Exabyte:
10M PC disks * 100 GB
29. BENEFITS FOR COMPANIES
• More efficient, as the crowd helps you to create, distribute and sell your products
• Sell same product multiple times
• Show durability of products, commitment to sustainability, a thriving community
• A long-term extended relationship with customers
• Serve new market segments
• Drive trial among prospective customers
• New value created between people, means new revenues
• Tap into repeated business transactions
• Additional cost of producing other units is very low if redistribution markets are in place
• Strengthen brand and competitive service
• Collect more users feedback and improve service
• If you act now, you will have first mover advantage
• Own no inventory, warehouses, distribution centers or other ancillary overhead required for most
traditional business models to operate
European Sharing Economy Coalition
30. HOW COMPANIES CAN EMBRACE THE
SHARING ECONOMY AND STAY PROFITABLE
• Adapt business model to become a service: sell access
to goods instead of ownership of those goods e.g.
renting, subscribing, premium memberships, loyalty
programs etc.
• Connect buyers and sellers by encouraging and
motivating a virtual marketplace
• Enable customers to give feedback and build value
to company brands via online platform
European Sharing Economy Coalition
31. RECIPE FOR DISRUPTION
• Follow an approach that makes it more accessible,
more affordable, faster and with higher quality for a
large group of people to do what matters to them.
• Develop a way of offering a product or service that
is difficult for others to replicate, keeping costs
radically lower than competitors.
• Tackle markets that existing companies are
motivated to exit or ignore because they are
unprofitable or seemingly too small to matter.
European Sharing Economy Coalition
36. REASONS FOR FAILURE
• Difficulty in building a critical mass of supply and demand
• Difficulty in creating the inventory (especially with geographical dispersion)
• Higher-than-expected operating costs (customer service, insurance,
lobbying, customer acquisition, security, etc)
• Competition from free alternatives
• Customers sidestepping the middleman platform
• Too much revenue going back to suppliers
• Mounting opposition from conventional industry groups
• Neglecting advocacy for regulatory change
