The document discusses how traditional hierarchical organizations are no longer effective for dealing with today's complex environments. It suggests nature and evolution provide examples of how living systems solve similar problems through distributed and interconnected structures. Specifically, it notes that organisms like slime molds, bacteria colonies, and the human brain function collectively without centralized control by sharing information through interconnected networks of individual parts. The human brain in particular handles patterns of information rather than raw data, using interconnected areas to process visual information in parallel through techniques like edge detection and movement detection.
Networks, swarms and policy: what collective intelligence means for policy ma...Alberto Cottica
Policy makers are taking up network thinking; citizens are self-organizing in smart swarms displaying collectivley intelligent behaviour. I address the implications of these phenomena for policy making, and look at some tools being built by a project called CATALYST that might help both citizens and policy makers.

A Perspective on Graph Theory and Network ScienceMarko Rodriguez
The graph/network domain has been driven by the creativity of numerous individuals from disparate areas of the academic and the commercial sector. Examples of contributing academic disciplines include mathematics, physics, sociology, and computer science. Given the interdisciplinary nature of the domain, it is difficult for any single individual to objectively realize and speak about the space as a whole. Any presentation of the ideas is ultimately biased by the formal training and expertise of the individual. For this reason, I will simply present on the domain from my perspective---from my personal experiences. More specifically, from my perspective biased by cognitive and computer science.
This is an autobiographical lecture on my life (so far) with graphs/networks.

Visible Effort: A Social Entropy Methodology for Managing Computer-Mediated ...Sorin Adam Matei
A theoretically-grounded learning feedback tool suite, the Visible Effort (VE) Mediawiki extension, is proposed for optimizing online group learning activities by measuring the amount of equality and the emergence of social structure in groups that participate in Computer-Mediated Collaboration (CMC). Building on social entropy theory, drawn from Shannon’s Mathematical Theory of Communication, VE captures levels of CMC unevenness and group structure and visualizes them on wiki Web pages through background colors, charts, and tabular data. Visual information provides users entropic feedback on how balanced and equitable collaboration is within their online group are, while helping them to maintain it within optimal levels. Finally, we present the theoretical and practical implications of VE and the measures behind it, as well as illustrate VE’s capabilities by describing a quasi-experimental teaching activity (use scenario) in tandem with a detailed discussion of theoretical justification, methodological underpinning, and technological capabilities of the approach.
Future of the Internet Predictions March 2014 PIP ReportVasily Ryzhonkov
This report is the latest research report in a sustained effort throughout 2014 by the Pew Research Center to mark the 25th anniversary of the creation of the World Wide Web by Sir Tim Berners-Lee. He wrote a paper on March 12, 1989 proposing an “information management” system that became the conceptual and architectural structure for the Web. He eventually released the code for his system — for free — to the world on Christmas Day in 1990. It became a milestone in easing the way for ordinary people to access documents and interact over the Internet — a system that linked computers and that had been around for years.
The Web became a major layer of the Internet. Indeed, for many, it became synonymous with the Internet, even though that is not technically the case. Its birthday offers an occasion to revisit the ways it has made the Internet a part of Americans’ social lives.
Our first report tied to the anniversary looked at the present and the past of the Internet, marking its strikingly fast adoption and assessing its impact on American users’ lives. This report is part of an effort by the Pew Research Center’s Internet Project in association with Elon University’s Imagining the Internet Center to look at the future of the Internet, the Web, and other digital activities. This is the first of eight reports based on a canvassing of hundreds of experts about the future of such things as privacy, cybersecurity, the “Internet of things,” and net neutrality. In this case we asked experts to make their own predictions about the state of digital life by the year 2025. We will also explore some of the economic change driven by the spectacular progress that made digital tools faster and cheaper. And we will report on whether Americans feel the explosion of digital information coursing through their lives has helped them be better informed and make better decisions.
This report is a collaborative effort based on the input and analysis of the following individuals.

Masses, Crowds, Communities, Movements. Collective Formations in the Digital ...University of Stuttgart
From prosumers to swarms, crowds, e-movements and e-communities, the Internet allows for new forms of collective behavior and action anywhere on the spectrum between individ- uals and organizations. In all of these cases, online technologies function as connectivity- enhancing tools and have prompted the search for novel or inherently different collective formations and actors on the web.
However, research to date on these new collective formations on the web lacks a sociologi- cally informed and theoretical focus. Instead, loosely defined terms such as “swarm”, “crowd” or “network” are readily used as a catch-all for any formation that cannot be charac- terized as a stable corporate actor. Such terms contribute little to an understanding of the vast range of collective activities on the Internet, namely because the various collective for- mations differ significantly from each other with regard to their size, internal structure, inter- action, institutional dynamics, stability and strategic capability.
In order to bridge this gap, this study investigates two questions: One, how might the very dif- ferently structured collectives on the Internet be classified and distinguished along actor- or action-centered theory? And two, what influence do the technological infrastructures in which they operate have on their formation, structure and activities? For this we distinguish between two main types of collectives: non-organized collectives, which exhibit loosely-coupled col- lective behavior, and collective actors with a separate identity and strategic capability. Further, we examine the newness, or distinctive traits, of online-based collectives, which we identify as being the strong and hitherto non-existent interplay between the technological infrastruc- tures that these collectives are embedded in and the social processes of coordination and insti- tutionalization they must engage in in order to maintain their viability over time. Convention- al patterns of social dynamics in the development and stabilization of collective action are now systematically intertwined with technology-induced processes of structuration.
Crowdsourcing and Cognitive Data Analytics for Conflict Transformation - Istv...Istvan Csakany
ABSTRACT
The thesis discusses the opportunities of using crowdsourcing and cognitive data analytics to increase the efficiency and accuracy of conflict transformation practices. It builds on Ken Wilber’s integral theory and AQAL model to identify the common ground between the transcend method of Johan Galtung, the elicitive conflict transformation approach of John Paul Lederach, and selected cases of crowdsourcing and cognitive data analytics applications. The theories are then applied to the three case studies of the practical use of crowdsourcing and the perspectives in cognitive computer science. The crowdsourcing examples include the constitutional reform process in Iceland (2011–2013), the UNHCR Ideas program, and Sugata Mitra’s School in the Cloud (SOLE) initiative. The case of cognitive computing is discussed through the analysis of IBM Watson’s utility in medical sciences. The thesis concludes that augmenting human intelligence and exploiting the knowledge of large masses through crowdsourcing and cognitive data analytics are viable options also in the field of conflict transformation and peace research. There are already examples of good practices but there is a significant difference between the utility of various approaches in favour of those that build on a human–computer partnership and are open to redefining existing paradigms.
The Connected Republic 2.0: New Possibilities & New Value for the Public Sectortheconnectedrepublic
Written by Paul Johnston and Martin Stewart-Weeks of Cisco’s Internet Business Solutions Group (IBSG), this 18pp White paper explores the huge opportunities today’s increasingly connected world offers the public sector. The more collaborative and flexible approach now available for ‘getting things done’ provides a platform for empowerment, choice and personalisation, allowing public sector organisations to build a new kind of relationship with citizens.
This paper has been invited to be published by the Springer LNBIP series/2014 and so, it is an improved version from those version accepted for presentation at the Fifth Pre-ICIS workshop on ES Research, St Louis/USA 2010 (*). The paper considers some challenges and reflections concerned with Information and Knowledge/Wise Societies and Sociotechnical Systems. After a brief and innovative panorama on the information and knowledge/wise societies and sociotechnical system we present the core of this work: challenges and reflections related with our society and systems. For some of these challenges and reflections has been proposed answers such as: treatment of the organization as a living being → synergism & collaborative ecosystem research efforts; a unfair shared leadership, information partnership and a collaborative relationship in the age of knowledge and, a new way of development, which comprises the social, economical, cultural and environmental spheres leading us to a new model of perception and knowledge of the world & present financial crisis; …Our world is fundamentally a sociotechnical world, which is characterized by Human and technological interactions; Human organizations are living systems and should be analyzed accordingly; Their interactions drastically affect people relationships in space and time. If we consider that the core knowledge is embodied in people’s heads (tacit knowledge), and their abilities to utilize them generate new knowledge, we cannot speak about knowledge/wise society without taking into account these interactions. Since the Internet brings together the computer, media, and the distributed intelligence of the family and the community, constituting a new basis for the effectiveness of socio-technical organizations then, in this way, beyond the economic, organizational, cultural, and technological dimensions, the specific sociotechnical context characterizes every knowledge/wise society initiatives: synergism and ubiquitously driven by the Internet! However, management opposition persists, because sociotechnical system by nature enables collaborative decision-making and shared leadership. Management has been reluctant to give up the power and authority they have worked so hard to establish. Sociotechnical system challenges the traditional management taboos that of sharing information and knowledge with subordinates on a need to know basis only.

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.

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.

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.

Internet access. This results in a massive amount of connections between people which has an impact on their life, work, relations
and the power they can summon together to get things organized and done. This baffles traditional business types and politicians
who notice that their vertically layered closed hierarchies can no longer cope with complex environments and are outpaced and
outsmarted by online P2P horizontally interconnected groups of people, who co-create and learn together. Open organizations with
high quality external communication links, which will result in Power Shifts all over the globe.
The research question this lecture tries to help answer is: “How are such wired groups structured DISTRIBUTED and how can
they function as one fast responding organism which can scale up without central coordination and without central leadership?”
After the urgency for horizontalized organization and value chains is shown as one of the key to come out of the economic
crisis, the key ingredients for the line of thought are found in nature. All „Living Systems‟ , including humans and groups of
humans, can be described as functioning using 20 vital subsystems handling material, energy and information. Recent discoveries
in analysis of how the human brain may work based for a big part on MRI scanning measurements and neurobiology &
neuropsychology show that handling Patterns and matching those with memory and expectations is basic. You can look with your
probably imperfect eyes but you see with the lenses in your brain. You can listen with your ears but you hear with your brain and
combine your thinking with other information patterns there. These recent findings can be transposed on brain-like structures of
connected people using the Telescope Metaphor which can be extended into a structure which processes images in parallel based
on orthogonal transforms. This is pre-correlation which simplifies matching. This caters for the fact that with such Lens -
holography like structures everybody can see the whole picture and can contribute to improvement of it and by combining and
synergy, help to develop emergent models for decentral consensus, vision & knowledge sharing, constructive solutions and
actions. Maybe we will find that swarms of bees and colonies of billions of bacteria have used since millions of years the same
connection structures to organize collective intelligent collaboration, so why don‟t we do that too using telecom- and computer
networks?
This recently started research, which has combined a number of well known scientific findings, has important consequences for
effective and more flexible organizations, new internet social media services and new political structures (P2P Connectivism)
connecting distributed independent people & groups and the institutions needed in the networked civil society and post-transition
co-creative economies. Not only can such a connected group Weavelet react very fast to unexpected situations, it is resilient to
failing nodes and links and it can learn and cope with imperfections, incompleteness. To paraphrase an ancient philosopher: “So
outside, so inside the human brain: the connections are the message”.

4. Introduction: Network interconnection effects ??
At present there are about 6 billion cell phones (including smart phones) and about
2.6 billion internet users active worldwide. Does that have effects? Sure. It lowers
transaction costs, makes organizations more transparent and allows new types of
collaboration and network effects with synergy.
Example: At disasters like the big Sichuan earthquake in central China in 2008
volunteers reacted immediately and coordinated aid and each other with TWITTER
and Facebook, while it took DAYS before the officials even published that the
accident took place and came to the scene.
Example: the sudden flashmob of tens of thousands of young people eager to
attend a party in Haren, NL last year, because a girl had made the mistake to invite
„everybody' on FaceBook to her 16th birthday party.
Did the partygoers organize themselves before and after they arrived by way of
networking? Yes they did. So did the hooligans in the sudden 2011 London riots.
Can companies and institutions do so too, or will they be outpaced and outsmarted
into irrelevance?
• So networking has temporal (time) and spatial (distance) effects. How
can we make use of those to construct Collective Intelligent Organizations?
Thus, the questions are:
• How do groups of people harness the power of Internet connections collectively in
a constructive way to collaborate?
• What can we learn from success stories so they will help us create even more of
them?

This lecture of Eshel Ben-Jacob is very important to understand that some bacteria
colonies behave collectively and move without central leadership but with specialisation
of tasks. This notion also has huge impact on the our knowledge about cancer cells and
how they still outsmart us by….. collective behaviour.

27. What happens at the Transformed Plane?
All of the information is available there (halfway the
Weavelet) to make spatial (3D) models, for handling Depth
and Proportions, and temporal (time: 4D) models of
movements etc. to act upon.
The patterns are distributed, stored and manipulated all over
the Weavelet by multiple feedback loops in contact with the
ecology around it. So collective and individual decisions and
actions can be taken.
Physical evidence: In optics halfway behind the lens there
is the FFT Transform plane. The image is fuzzy there, while
on the Focal plane it is sharp. Jumping spiders have 4
distinct photoreceptor layers in their eyes, they can judge
distance to jump by processing the difference between
defocused and focused layers.

39. Conclusions
We believe that weavelets - self-forming alliances of individuals, connected through
channels made possible by advanced computing and communications technology –
presage a sea change in the evolution of the species. These groups, interconnected in
ways that mirror the patterns of living systems, can achieve fast, orthogonal
transformations (like the FFT), at a level never before possible. Using distributed models
of thought and action, following maps hidden in plain sight in the natural world, they will
have the ability to collaborate quickly, seamlessly, and in service to the goal of bringing
what Amartya Sen1 has called “The Five Freedoms” to all present and future travellers on
this beautiful, blue-green planet.
Groups of people with a connected structure and distributed actions and decision power
can have an emergent mind and soul which is everywhere & nowhere like a hologram, a
powerful connected life form of Weavelets which will be part of the Global Brain.
This may be the next evolutionary leap of life forms and may bring us in the Era of Idea‟s [Bommerez]
See my blog: the-future-of-internet-the-Weave/
• Maybe this leap is part of the Singularity.
• Remember that nature has done such leaps before. Jeffrey Sterling wrote in a recent mail message: My
favorite book on the subject is Earthdance by evolutionary biologist, Elisabet Sahtouris which covers the entire
evolution of life on Earth. Chapter 11 of the book is called the Big Brain experiment
http://www.ratical.org/LifeWeb/Erthdnce/chapter11.html.
• Toward the end of that chapter, Dr. Sahtouris makes this observation. "Particularly interesting is the fact that
bacteria invented communications systems prior to organizing themselves into nucleated cells, and that
nucleated cells invented intercellular communications systems before organizing themselves into multi-celled
creatures. This is how the Internet will play out its enormous role."

40. Future research
Weavelet-like structures and its functions can help to explain how “emergent
behavior” in groups of massively interconnected animals work.
Imagine that the recently discovered underground interconnections by fungus wires
between trees in a forest would lead to a collective mind and spirit, in combination
with changes in genes (changes DNA) ??
It might give Telecom Operators, ISP‟s and Internet network providers incentives to
defend, preserve and strengthen Internet as a “Web of Life”.
Imagine what would happen if the users of InstaGram, PhotoSynth and Layar
would interconnect APPs and clouds; and form a collective intelligent Weavelet?!
Challenge 1. Will weavelet-like organization structures enable society to
create new jobs and work for middle class workers with unique skills?
Challenge 2. We suspect that combinations of [pinecones, cacti, LOFAR array radio
telescope math., Ben-Jacob bacteria growth, Fibonacci/ golden mean, galaxies] will show
how weavelets will further unfold into 3D,4D,5D spirals. Are galaxies life forms too?
Lecture invitations and (any type of) funding for further research would be most
appreciated.
