This document discusses how wikis and other web technologies can benefit museums by enabling collaboration. It provides background on how collaboration has historically been important for humans and evolved through technologies like WELL, virtual communities, and Web 2.0 features. As an example, it outlines an early virtual library case study from the 1990s where Tim Berners-Lee and others directly edited static HTML pages to collaboratively index the developing web.

21st century school libraries presentation to School Library Association of Victoria 2009 provides an overview of trends and possible futures for 21st century school libraries, collection management and service delivery. Based on ideas from We-think (Leadbeater 2008)
Whole School Library
Celebrate change: let’s make the whole school a library. Keynote presented at School Library Association of Victoria conference March 2010, this presentation explores the rationale for extending school library services and influence beyond the physical space of the library, and to identify the benefits to learning and teaching (and student engagement) that will flow from such an approach.

FryskLab - Education, innovation and maker culture in the library
FryskLab is an initiative of Library Service Friesland (Bibliotheekservice Fryslân, BSF) and the Frisian public library network. Friesland is a rural province in the northern part of the Netherlands and FryskLab, operating from a truck formerly used as a bookmobile, is Europe’s first official library FabLab, or “fabrication laboratory”. Its varied team consists of IT specialists, arts management professionals and librarians, and its goal is to examine the extent to which this mobile FabLab initiative contributes to the development of creative, technical and entrepreneurial skills of children and young adults. The project is ultimately expected to result in an increase of the innovative capacities of the entire province of Friesland.
Officially launched in 2014, FryskLab has so far received a number of awards, including the American Library Association’s (ALA) 2017 Presidential Citations for Innovative International Library Projects award. Making knowledge and sharing the future, the motto of the FryskLab project, reinforces the role of libraries in facilitating access to various “tools of knowledge” (equipment and technology) and providing support in the form of various educational and training programmes, effectively bringing together physical and digital, traditional and modern means of acquiring knowledge.

Public libraries in The Netherlands: a powerful network
In this presentation I will briefly present the structure of the public library network in the Netherlands, with particular emphasis on the way public library innovation is “organised”. There is currently a community of practice (CoP) organised for every specific area of library innovation which at the same time also addresses officially established national priorities, i.e. lifelong learning, development of traditional library services, education of the young population, etc. Librarians in each of the CoPs share experiences specific to their field based on which they identify future activities aimed at the development of the particular field. Librarians included in this CoP system come from libraries of all types and sizes regardless of the province or region.

Stories to tell: The making of our digital nation. April 2010
A new type of digital volunteer is quietly adding to the sum of knowledge of our history and heritage on the web. Ordinary Australians have helped correct millions of lines of text in the National Library of Australia's Newspaper Digitisation Program. They have contributed thousands of photographs to the national digital picture collection. The presentation describes these projects and others from libraries and archives that you can help with. Everyone can help to improve, describe and create our digital heritage.

A Small Scottish Library Service Joins the Global Community
Presented at IFLA's WLIC in Québec City, Canada (IT Section) - August 2008.
Presents an overview of the ongoing journey of East Renfrewshire Library and Information Service
(ERLIS) as it attempts to embrace the concepts of Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 within the constraints of a
limited financial budget. It also presents a step by step guide for other library services interested in
joining the social networking community; highlighting challenges and offering solutions based on the
experiences of ERLIS.
From Dystopia to Utopia: The Future of E-content in Libraries
Delivered for WiLSWorld 2018 on July 24th in Madison, WI by Mitchell Davis, Chief Business Officer, BiblioLabs; Veronda J. Pitchford, Director of Membership and Resource Sharing, Reaching Across Illinois Library System (RAILS)
The future is continuously speeding up and consumer media players like Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Spotify take more and more mindshare and attention of the Gen X, Gen Y and Millennial markets.
Over the past decade large media and technology companies such as these have radically changed end user expectations on the ease of having affordable, simple access to high quality digital content of all types. Meanwhile, brick and mortar institutions such as Borders, Barnes & Noble and a host of others have seen their fortunes decline as indie bookstores have seen a rise in popularity and sustainability.
How are libraries positioned to compete and flourish in this new media landscape? What are libraries uniquely positioned to do well in the digital landscape for readers, researchers and consumers of content? What are the underlying dynamics that drive the business of libraries and keep vendors and libraries from working as true partners?
Engaging in radical collaboration between libraries, vendors and publishers can produce better access, content and experiences sprinkled with delight for readers that could become the rallying cry for all the work we all do.

Moocs and Academic Libraries
This is the presentation I gave for the ACRL webcast on 5/22. "Technology is enabling Higher Education to change more in the next ten years than it has in the past hundred. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are potentially one such technological innovation and have generated a lot of press in the past year. This live, interactive webcast will focus on the role of the librarian in these online courses. First, we will examine what librarians are currently doing to provide support for these institutional course offerings. Next, we will discuss possible future roles that librarians can play as MOOCs move from the margins to the mainstream."

Crossing borders for professional development
This presentation will be delivered by Alyson Dalby at the 16th Summer Seminar of the Vidzeme regional division of the Library Association of Latvia, 11th July 2013. The presentation focuses on acknowledging the value of international professional networks, and then looks at the development and future of the International Librarians Network.
Making scholarly publications accessible online
Developing and monitoring communities has become increasingly easy on the web as the number of interactive facilities and amount of data available about communities increases. It is possible to view connections on social and professional networks in the form of mathematical graphs. It is also possible to visualise connections between authors of academic papers. For example, Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic Search, and Academia.edu, now have large corpuses of freely available information on publications, together with author and citation
details, that can be accessed and presented in a number of ways. In mathematical circles, the concept of the Erdős number has been introduced in honour of the Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős, measuring the collaborative distance" of a person away from Erdős through links by co-author. Similar metrics have been proposed in other fields. The possibility of exploring and
improving the presentation of such links online in the sciences and other fields will be presented as a means of improving the outreach and impact of publications by academics across
different disciplines. Some practical guidance on what is worthwhile in presenting publication information online are given.

Online Communities: Visualization and Formalization.
Online communities have increased in size and importance dramatically over the last decade. The fact that many communities are online means that it is possible to extract
information about these communities and the connections between their members much more easily using software tools, despite their potentially very large size. The links between members of the community can be presented visually and often this can make patterns in the structure of sub-communities immediately obvious. The links and structures of layered communities can also be formalized to gain a better understanding of their modelling. This paper explores these links with some specific examples, including visualization of these relationships and a formalized model of communities using the Z notation. It also considers the development of such communities within the Community of Practice social science framework. Such approaches may be applicable for communities associated with cybersecurity and could be combined for a better understanding of their development.
The Brooklyn Visual Heritage Website: Brooklyn’s Museums and Libraries Collab...
The Brooklyn Visual Heritage website (http://brooklynvisualheritage.org) represents a new visual resource for cultural heritage. The site was created as part of Project CHART (Cultural Heritage, Access, Research and Technology), a three-year collaborative project (2010-2013) funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) between Pratt School of Information and Library Science and three of New York’s leading cultural Institutions, the Brooklyn Historical Society, Brooklyn Museum, and Brooklyn Public Library. This paper examines the Brooklyn Visual Heritage website from the diverse perspectives of these cultural institutions and the communities they serve, from geographic communities to those of scholars, historians, and educators, while also addressing technical aspects of user experience and the challenges of cross institutional collaboration. We consider questions of shared decision-making on website design, public access and use as well as issues regarding how the BVH collections will continue to grow, while expanding the use of social media to promote greater community participation as part of a sustainable model.
Mental Health and Well-Being for Mind and Brain
Why do some of us show only minor effects of stress while others show a more severe and disabling mental and physical decline? This slide share presentation explains how you can use your brain to recognise stress and manage it so as to benefit yourself and others in your lives.
Topics addressed include (i) understanding the brain and how it processes emotions, (ii) understanding psychological stress including its sources and consequences and (iii) reducing and preventing stress through the practice of mindfulness (awareness), cognitive restructuring (recognising your thoughts), diet, exercise and progressive relaxation.

People, Communities and Platforms: Digital Cultural Heritage and the Web
Libraries, archives and museums are sites of community memory. The first public computerized bulletin board system was called community memory. Trevor’s talk will explore the connections between the development of the web as a global knowledge base, the open source software movement, and digital strategy for libraries, archives and museums. This keynote talk will synthesize research on the history of online community software with practical experience working on open source digital library projects. This exploration underscores the essential role cultural heritage institutions need to play in this era of the web and some important distinctions between how the concept of community is deployed in discussions of the web.

Communities and Ancestors Associated with Egon Börger and ASM
In this presentation, I discuss the community associated with Abstract State Machines (ASM), especially in the context of a Community of Practice (CoP), a social science concept, considering the development of ASM by its community of researchers and practitioners over time. I also consider the long-term historical context of the advisor tree of Egon Börger, the main promulgator of the ASM approach, which can be
considered as multiple interrelated CoPs, distributed over several centuries. This includes notable mathematicians and philosophers among its number with some interesting links between the people involved. Despite most being active well before the inception of computer science, a number have been influential on the field.
Alan Turing and Oxford
Did Alan Turing OBE FRS (23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954), the celebrated mathematician, codebreaker, and pioneer computer scientist, ever visit Oxford? He is well-known for his connections with the University of Cambridge, Bletchley Park, the National Physical Laboratory, and the University of Manchester, but there is no known written archival record of him ever visiting Oxford, despite it being the location of the University of Oxford, traditionally a rival of Cambridge. However, surely he must have done so.
The Digital Renaissance from da Vinci to Turing
The Italian Renaissance started a rebirth of culture and knowledge not experienced since Roman times. Leonardo da Vinci was arguably the leading polymath of the era. We are now in the throes of a Digital Renaissance, arguably started by Alan Turing in England. This paper draws some parallels between these two periods and speculates on the future of digital developments, especially in the context of the EVA Florence conference in Italy and the EVA London conference in the UK.
Alan Turing: Founder of Computer Science
Alan Turing is well-known as the "father of computing". With his contribution to mathematics, code-breaking, computer science and logic, he has long been a subject of great fascination. Following the centenary of his birth in 2012 he has become even more widely recognised for his remarkable contribution to our understanding of the world around us through his work on the computational mathematics that underlies life and evolution, which some compare to the insights of Einstein and Newton.
Patterns in scholarly publications online: Erdős and beyond
Developing and monitoring communities has become increasingly easy on the web as the number of interactive facilities and amount of data available about communities increases. It is possible to view connections and patterns on social and professional networks in the form of mathematical graphs.

For example, Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic Search, and Academia.edu, etc., now have large corpuses of freely available information on publications, together with author and citation details, that can be accessed and presented in a number of ways. In mathematical circles, the concept of the Erdős number has been introduced in honour of the Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős, measuring the "collaborative distance" of a person away from Erdős through links by co-author. Similar metrics have been proposed in other fields. The possibility of exploring and improving the presentation of such links online in computer science and other fields will be presented as a means of improving the outreach and impact of academic publications.

Computer science education in universities
Abstract: Computer science is a relative young science that also straddles technology and engineering, but is now taught in the vast majority of universities. The talk will explore overall trends in student numbers and profiles, curriculum content, etc., in the UK and elsewhere. The relationship with school-level education and industry will be covered and some possible solutions to key issues will be proposed.
A talk on Computer Science Education in Universities, delivered at the House of Lords in London on 20 March 2013.
Industrial use of formal methods
Formal methods aim to apply mathematically-based techniques to the development of computer-based systems, especially at the specification level, but also down to the implementation level. This aids early detection and avoidance of errors through increased understanding. It is also beneficial for more rigorous testing coverage. This talk presents the use of formal methods on a real project. The Z notation has been used to specify a large-scale high integrity system to aid in air traffic control. The system has been implemented directly from the Z specification using SPARK Ada, an annotated subset of the Ada programming language that includes assertions and tool support for proofs. The Z specification has been used to direct the testing of the software through additional test design documents using tables and fragments of Z. In addition, Mathematica has been used as a test oracle for algorithmic aspects of the system. In summary, formal methods can be used successfully in all phases of the lifecycle for a large software project with suitably trained engineers, despite limited tool support.

Speaker: Prof. Jonathan P. BOWEN, London South Bank University / University of Westminster / Museophile Limited United Kingdom
Date: Friday, 24 June 2011, FM 2011 Symposium, University of Limerick, Ireland
Abstract: A Body of Knowledge (BoK) is an ontology for a particular professional
domain. A Community of Practice (CoP) is the collection of people developing
such knowledge. In the paper we explore these concepts in the context
of the formal methods community in general and the Z notation community, as
has been supported by the Z User Group, in particular. The existing SWEBOK
Software Engineering Body of Knowledge is considered with respect to formal
methods and a high-level model for the possible structure of of a BoK is provided
using the Z notation.

Ten Commandments of Formal Methods: A decade later
In 1995, a paper "Ten Commandments of Formal Methods" suggested some guidelines to help ensure the success of a formal methods project. It proposed ten requirements (or “commandments”) for formal developers to consider and follow, based on our knowledge of several industrial application success stories, most of which have been reported in more detail in two books. The paper was surprisingly popular, is still widely referenced, and used as required reading in a number of formal methods courses. However, not all have agreed with some of the commandments, feeling that they may not be valid in the long-term. We re-examine the original commandments a decade later, and consider their validity in the light of industrial best practice and experiences, especially with respect to formal notations such as B and Z. We also cover the activities of the UK Verified Software Repository Network (VSR-net) in the context of Grand Challenge 6 on Dependable Systems Evolution.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support
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 !
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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
