Yves Caseau discusses the opportunity for telecommunications operators to transition to a digital lifestyle platform business model by building a smart home ecosystem. The document outlines a step-by-step approach for operators to gradually deploy digital home services starting with connected devices and sensors, developing a home network, and establishing interoperability through a common language and home app store. Ultimately, the vision is for a smart home that takes care of users through automated scenarios and uses machine learning to anticipate needs based on context like presence, location and schedules.

meet2016: Reshaping Business Through IoT: Key Technology Factors to ConsiderRoberto Siagri
The IoT is the manifestation that the raw material of the information age is datum. Data are the new source of innovation and the lever to achieve business sustainability. By extracting data from assets and products, companies can become more efficient through a strategic rethinking of their value chains and business processes. In so doing, companies will add the required readiness to shift from products to services, and eventually enter in the outcome economy. To truly embrace the digital transformation, organizations need to collect actionable data from their assets, processes, and products and then connect the OT (Operational Technology) world where data are generated to IT (Information Technology) world where data are consumed. Beside predictive maintenance and asset usage maximization/optimization the benefits are huge: the transformation of any business into a smart business, increasing competitiveness also in mature markets; the creation of new innovative products and services; and the enablement of service prosumerization.
To make this happen there are some key technology factors to consider during the implementation of an IoT architecture.

Digital Twin refers to a physical and functional description of a component, product or system together with all available operational data. This includes all information which could be useful in current and subsequent lifecycle phases. Benefit of it for mechatronic and cyber-physical systems is to provide the information created during design and engineering also at the operation of the system. The comprehensive networking of all information, shared between partners and connecting design, production and usage, forms the presented paradigm of next generation Digital Twin.

An overview of the core concepts behind the ultra-hyped Internet of Things. We start the presentation with an overview and slight re-classification of what the Internet of Things is. Then, we jump into how to *serve* the internet of things - discussing a homebrew project using the RaspberryPi and Microsoft Azure.

Building home security solutions at scale, ft. Comcast - SVC206 - New York AW...Amazon Web Services
IoT applications are rapidly becoming more intelligent, especially when it comes to home security solutions such as entry sensors, motion detectors, home automation, and video monitoring. Combine IoT with serverless video streaming, analysis, and playback, and you have a powerful solution at a scale and price that make business sense. In this session, learn how to build intelligent home security applications using Amazon Kinesis Video Streams and AWS IoT services. We are joined by a representative from Comcast, which migrated to AWS to power their Xfinity Home security cameras and focus on secure storage of video data from customers worldwide.
This presentation introduces an Earth Model, CCEM (Coupling Coarse Earth Models), which is a system dynamic simulation model representing the earth as a complex system and focusing on feedback loops associated with global warming. CCEM combines five simpler models, addressing energy availability, economic adjustment to energy scarcity, energy transition, global economy and CO2 emissions, and the impact of CO2 emissions on warming and society. The model aims to make implicit beliefs explicit and demonstrate that the same mental model can support various viewpoints by changing beliefs associated with "known unknowns." Five "known unknowns" discussed in the text include the future availability and cost of energy, energy needs and affordability for the economy, the speed of energy substitution, expected GDP growth, and the economic and societal consequences of global warming.
This talk is about data-driven transformation and its contribution to Digital transformation. The first part shows the necessity to adopt the "software revolution" to adapt constantly to the customer’s environment. I then speak about " Exponential Information Systems" that the the foundation for the data-driven ambitions : Enterprise-wide flows, Customer-time data freshness, Future-proof unified semantics, etc.
The last part talks about Exponential Technologies, such as Artificial intelligence and machine learning, to drive more value from data
This is an old simulation project in the field of "Global Warming Serious Games". This preliminary model is shared because the author plans to resume his work on this topic using Evolutionary Game Theory

Presentation at ICORES 2012 on Enterprise models.
This talk presents a computational model of a generic enterprise (BPEM, which stands for Business Process Enterprise Model), based upon the core concept of business process. BPEM may be seen as a bridge between two worlds of “Enterprise Models”, the world of mathematical models, formal and fully operational for optimization purposes and the world of conceptual models (boxes & arrows type) for management science, for reasoning and communicating about what a company is.

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.

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.

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.
