Cyber Security of the Internet of Things

Lead Research Organisation: University College London
Department Name: Science, Tech, Eng and Public Policy

Abstract

Today we use many objects not normally associated with computers or the internet. These include gas meters and lights in our homes, healthcare devices, water distribution systems and cars. Increasingly, such objects are digitally connected and some are transitioning from cellular network connections (M2M) to using the internet: e.g. smart meters and cars - ultimately self-driving cars may revolutionise transport. This trend is driven by numerous forces. The connection of objects and use of their data can cut costs (e.g. allowing remote control of processes) creates new business opportunities (e.g. tailored consumer offerings), and can lead to new services (e.g. keeping older people safe in their homes).

This vision of interconnected physical objects is commonly referred to as the Internet of Things. The examples above not only illustrate the vast potential of such technology for economic and societal benefit, they also hint that such a vision comes with serious challenges and threats. For example, information from a smart meter can be used to infer when people are at home, and an autonomous car must make quick decisions of moral dimensions when faced with a child running across on a busy road. This means the Internet of Things needs to evolve in a trustworthy manner that individuals can understand and be comfortable with. It also suggests that the Internet of Things needs to be resilient against active attacks from organised crime, terror organisations or state-sponsored aggressors.

Therefore, this project creates a Hub for research, development, and translation for the Internet of Things, focussing on privacy, ethics, trust, reliability, acceptability, and security/safety: PETRAS, (also suggesting rock-solid foundations) for the Internet of Things. The Hub will be designed and run as a 'social and technological platform'. It will bring together UK academic institutions that are recognised international research leaders in this area, with users and partners from various industrial sectors, government agencies, and NGOs such as charities, to get a thorough understanding of these issues in terms of the potentially conflicting interests of private individuals, companies, and political institutions; and to become a world-leading centre for research, development, and innovation in this problem space.

Central to the Hub approach is the flexibility during the research programme to create projects that explore issues through impactful co-design with technical and social science experts and stakeholders, and to engage more widely with centres of excellence in the UK and overseas. Research themes will cut across all projects: Privacy and Trust; Safety and Security; Adoption and Acceptability; Standards, Governance, and Policy; and Harnessing Economic Value. Properly understanding the interaction of these themes is vital, and a great social, moral, and economic responsibility of the Hub in influencing tomorrow's Internet of Things. For example, a secure system that does not adequately respect privacy, or where there is the mere hint of such inadequacy, is unlikely to prove acceptable. Demonstrators, like wearable sensors in health care, will be used to explore and evaluate these research themes and their tension. New solutions are expected to come out of the majority of projects and demonstrators, many solutions will be generalisable to problems in other sectors, and all projects will produce valuable insights. A robust governance and management structure will ensure good management of the research portfolio, excellent user engagement and focussed coordination of impact from deliverables.

The Hub will further draw on the expertise, networks, and on-going projects of its members to create a cross-disciplinary language for sharing problems and solutions across research domains, industrial sectors, and government departments. This common language will enhance the outreach, development, and training activities of the Hub.

Planned Impact

Privacy, Ethics, Trust, Reliability, Acceptability, and Security in the Internet of Things, ("PETRAS"), concerns us all. Being able to understand, control, and exploit their interaction in this space will have huge societal, economic, and third sector impact - let us mention personalised healthcare, better transport experience, more effective energy and water supply, more robust facility and supply chain management, new economic mechanisms for data sharing, and trust relationships of particular interest to the third sector.

The Hub's strategic focus is on co-designing solutions in this socio-technological space that are acceptable to their users and that judiciously, if not optimally, trade off conflicting considerations such as security and cost-effectiveness. The Hub will create and provide an environment in which researchers, users, and partners from multiple sectors can bring together expertise, experiences and experimental environments to engage in such co-design. This approach has impact and effective value generation at its core: the Hub has already secured pledges of considerable funding from partners who provide this support for research with impactful outputs; also, the Hub's overall strategy, governance structure, and operational oversight are designed to nurture and evaluate impact and productivity -generating activities - as reflected, for example, in the criteria for internal project selection in the initial and future internal calls.

One large environment for impact creation will be The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Within it, the "Smart in the Park" initiative - led by UCL and partnered with The Mayor of London's Smart London Board - has provided full and open research access to the study of PETRAS aspects of the entire site infrastructure: from waste and water through to energy, lighting, smart homes, future retail, and the logistical complexity of 9.5 million annual visitors across the 257 acres site. The pathways from this research to impact are 6-monthly "Smart in the Park Events", and IoT Weekenders linked to the Future Cities Catapult and the Digital Economy Catapult to showcase research. Additionally, workshop space for PETRAS R&D will be provided to SMEs, think tanks, and innovation incubators within a planned long-term IoT showcase called "The Heart of the Park". All this will be enhanced by facilities that engage citizens with PETRAS and the Internet of Things, such as controlling park lighting via the Internet of Things. We will have similar impact activities for other demonstrators such as the Smart Streets in Lancaster, Wearable Devices in Healthcare in London, the Smart Campus in Surrey, and the Edinburgh Festival.

The Hub will have two full-time Impact Champions serving in key management roles of the Hub; they will ensure that our approach to impact will be agile to allow the Hub to learn from seed projects, and will be inclusive to support an innovative environment in which also disruptive research and development can flourish. Through its linked, nationwide network of experimental environments, exhibition spaces and showcases the Hub will foster impact generation through co-innovation such that outputs have global reach and will help to secure the UK as a world-leader in PETRAS research in the Internet of Things.

PETRAS aspects of the Internet of Things are clearly visible to the general public, policymakers, and decision makers. Therefore, the Hub will maintain and lead a dialogue with those groups and others regarding the importance of PETRAS aspects in our future lives. This is aimed to be high profile, aided by a professional media campaign engaging with the full spectrum of today's media. The Hub will also tap into existing outreach channels such as a Hub website, UK Museums, Academies and Professional Societies. The aim is for the Hub to become an authoritative global voice of PETRAS/IoT aspects, and to create brand value for its long-term, sustainable and impactful future

Title BitBarista: Autonomous Bitcoin Coffee Machine 
Description BitBarista is a technical probe designed and built to explore perceptions of value transactions with a new Internet of Things device. It's comprised of a hacked Delonghi coffee machine, enhanced with a Raspberry Pi which reads signals from the coffee machines sensors, controls its functions, and connects it to the Internet. BitBarista is also equipped with its own Bitcoin account. It serves coffee in exchange for a Bitcoin contribution towards its next coffee supply. The coffee beans used by the machine will have been selected collectively by previous customers. The interaction begins with the machine displaying data on the state of coffee-producing countries looking for information on climate, work conditions, political situation, infrastructure, price stability and demand, which the machine purportedly browses online. From this data the machine selects top-ranked options for coffee beans in 4 categories: best quality, lowest price, lowest environmental impact and highest social responsibility. It then offers users the opportunity to choose one of these options for its next supply, and customers pay for their coffee accordingly. After the purchase, a new screen situates the choice within the pool of choices previously made, all anonymised, displaying the supply most likely to be ordered next. The machine also presents some autonomous features: it can order coffee and reward customers for helping with its maintenance, e.g. by refilling coffee beans, filling its water tank, and cleaning out used coffee grounds. When Bitbarista detects that a maintenance task needs performing, it will request help from customers and offer either free coffee or a payment in Bitcoin in return. Bitbarista is fitted with a small camera, enabling it to read smart codes for Bitcoin transactions, so that it can make payments to customers' Bitcoin wallets.

Title Living Room of the Future 
Description The LRoTF platfrom was developed with PETRAS partners BBC R&D as part of the AHRC Objects of Immersion research project which explored how media broadcasters could utilise Object-Based Media (OBM) to deliver more immersive experiences to audiences in home environments. The LRoTF utilises OBM to dynamically customise radio and television content based on audiences' personal, contextual and derived data. OBM delivers personalised viewing experiences by breaking media into smaller parts (known as 'objects'), describing how they relate to each other semantically, and then reassembling them into many possible personalised programmes. In addition to the media-delivery aspects, the LRoTF explores data protection issues associated with OBM's use of data, by integrating with the privacy-enhancing Databox system. Further the LRofTF extends OBM by including off the shelf and bespoke Internet of Internet of Things objects as part of the media performance in order to co-produce, with an audience, a 'lived' experience of the future as a form of 'Experiential Design Fiction'. With the support of PETRAS a new experience was created and a version of the LRofTF installed at the V&A which was designed to highlight potential futures of IoT involving Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Edge Computing. Additionally the experience highlighted research from PETRAS HTIoT project relating to designing IoT products and services that foregroud IoT data flows and algorithms and the often transactional nature of personal data production in the home. 
Type Of Art Artistic/Creative Exhibition 
Year Produced 2018 
Impact Alongside highlighting the research of PETRAS to some of the 22,000 visitors who attended the design weekend at the V&A nearly 100 were able to experience the LRofTF installation directly and engaged in many interesting discussions around the potential adoption IoT products and in the Home.

Geographic Reach National 
Policy Influence Type Contribution to a national consultation/review
Impact - The need for product cost reduction, coupled with an increased awareness of cyber-risks by the marketplace, will drive the adoption of industry standards and approval processes. Increased affordability will make IoT functionality the norm in almost all consumer and industrial OEM products - Significant increases in multi-core low-cost processor performance/price ratio will drive the pervasive adoption of machine learning embedded in IoT devices or deployed at the Edge, adjacent to them. Standards for security will include resilience to cyber-attack, facilitated by embedded AI - Home routers will include smart, AI-based detection and gate-keeping for protection of internet traffic in home and work environments - Risks of personal data leaking must be balanced against the benefits that such devices provide and care must be taken not to damage markets or commercial opportunities in the name of personal data safety , possibly missing out on the large amount of benefits to prosperity, safety, quality of life - Commercial and public sector trust will be high if the systems are transparently robust - Sensor-based systems will become more prevalent, embedded more in infrastructure (beyond what is described as IoT today). For example, IoT devices 3D-printed into materials used in buildings, bridges, etc.

Description Systematic literature review for DSIT: To what extent do public perceptions of connected places affect the security and sustainability of connected places?
Geographic Reach National 
Policy Influence Type Contribution to a national consultation/review
Impact The authors argue that there is a need for more research on the mechanisms for assessing the influence of public perceptions, and associated behaviours, on connected place security threats. The authors also argue there is a need to research models and tools currently being deployed by connected place design and management to understand and influence public perceptions and behaviors. In addition, authors identify a need to investigate the complex relationship between the public and connected place managers and explore the patterns between specific connected place cybersecurity incidents and the methods used to influence public perceptions.

Impact This activity is aimed primarily at people with non-technical backgrounds who want to begin exploring the possibilities of Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies to envisage the potential for social change and disruption, and the wealth of new scenarios and applications. People skilled with technology may also benefit from involvement in the activity, especially if they are new to Blockchain, as this is more about opening up ideas on value rather than a technological explanation. The inclusion of technical people in the activity can therefore enhance the overall experience of the group, by bringing this expertise into the conversation.

Title IoT Observatory 
Description The development of the IoT Observatory is key towards a core platform and a set of associated technologies in order to support the observation, analysis, and visualisation of interactions and activities in IoT ecosystems. Integration with existing IoT Metadata standards such as the HyperCat make the observatory a robust tool for inter-domain research analyses. Inspired by the Web Observatory platform the IoT Observatory provides infrastructure support for sharing of IoT datasets and analytical applications contributed by various academic and user-partners of the PETRAS for critical research and implementation analyses. The IoT Observatory platform orchestrates several components for data ingestion, integration, storage, and streaming to support data re-use and sharing critical for IoT application domains such as smart cities. To address the privacy concerns of the stakeholders in any IoT ecosystems the observatory platform provides legal and ethical frameworks along with technological support for authentication and authorization.

Title Use of secure identifier management system in the construction industry 
Description There is an important class of IoT applications in which they are applied to a given deployment of assets, by separating out the deployment face from the implementation of the IoT it is easier to provision different IoT applications on the same on slightly modify deployment. We are investigating a technology which involved secure identifier management systems to describe the deployment, the data produce and protocols for access. The resultant database that be utilize in the IoT implementation and subsequent operation. It is realize that one of the key barriers to the acceptability of IoT applications is the need to ensure security and privacy. Similar concerns will apply as to whether different IoT applications will be permitted to use the same deployment of assets. We are investigating a generic approach to resolving this problem by the use of a secure identifier management system, We will use an existing open source system called Handle. This is nearly to allow rapid progress in tackling the problem. Handle seems to provide the sort of security, distribution and large scale capability to meet most of our requirements.At in an early stage we will explore to what extend the facilities such as security, maintenance and extension in the IoT domain. While both of problem and the approach are generic, it is important to applied them in an specific application domain which is both important and tractable. One such domain is that of the building information model (BIM) which has been mandated by the UK government for our future procurement from central fundings. A current level 2 of that standard foul of the needs of IoT and security. We are making contributions to the migration of that technology towards BIM Level 3, which is targeted to solved this problems completely. One of the main technologies to represent building models is IFC (Industry Foundation Classes). The present state,named IFC4 can help automate building design and construction, but it not rich enough to include IoT and security. To achieve our goal, our work is based in two different contributions:IFC+ and the use of Handle System as support for digital objects. The extension of IFC4 have to had detail descriptions of the attributes required for networks, security and data description. Handle System is a Secure Identifier Management System open available resolve, store and manage system which is globally accessible and widely used in other domain areas. It already contains hundreds of millions of entities in large number of servers. It provides a complete infrastructure for the prevision of types of encryption techniques to ensure the authentication and protection of the digital objects. In addition, the use of Handle permits access control of what entities can perform operations on the deployment database we show in some sample instances how to transform the file based IFC into the sort of database suitable for secure operations with Handle. It is this form of database which is then used for secure IoT applications. Because data and procedures can be incorporated into the Handle system database and in its integrated fashion, this technology can be used also to describe how the data is transmitted and can be accessed. This goes considerably beyond the current achievements of BIM Level 2. The use of both technologies, IFC+ and Handle System, allow to deploy IoT scenarios (Smart buildings) ready to be used by multi stakeholder IoT applications, assuring the privacy and security aspects. This specific Handle implementation includes a number of facilities to improve performances and resilience, we will investigate to what extend this relevant in this application domain.

Industry 4.0 is a name for the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies. Including cyber-physical systems, the Internet of things, cloud computing and cognitive computing. The second objective was to capture the best practices regarding cyber security in industry, and to provoke a debate among practitioners and academics by offering a new theoretical model for assessing the cyber risk from IoT and I4.0.
Collaborator Contribution Cisco provided expertise, intellectual input, including access to data, equipment and facilities in the Cisco data centre in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. We reported the results of a qualitative case study with Cisco that correlates academic literature with five I4.0 cyber trends, seven cyber risk frameworks and two cyber risk models.

Description Church of England 
Organisation Church of England
Country United Kingdom 
Sector Charity/Non Profit 
PI Contribution CEDE has created a digital installation including a Font of Solace and Digital Prayer candles for the Parish Church of St Peter de Beauvoir in Hackney. Anonymous prayers submitted by members of the congregation are projected onto the floor of the church to promote empathy within the church community. Focus groups held with community groups within the parish demonstrated a very positive response to the installation and consequently we have recently partnered with a second church (The Church of St Michael and All Angels) in Cumbria to allow the trial of remote digital empathy between an urban and a rural parish. This second church was selected for this work as, aside from the significant distance between the two locations (approx. 370km), there is a significant contrast between the typically younger and relatively static community at St Peter's, and the typically older community of St Michael's which is extended in the summer months by many tourists to the Lake District who visit the church. Of particular interest will be the extent to which it is possible to develop a 'community spirit' between the two churches, the extent to which the two communities are able to feel empathetic towards the other, and the potential for the development of pro-social and pro-community behaviours between the two communities.
Collaborator Contribution The partners provided full access to the church and the local community, allowing a research in the wild approach and direct participation with often hard to reach groups (such as the over 60 Afro Caribbean Group).

Collaborator Contribution To Tim Watson L-3 TRL is an agile UK-based technology company, which designs and delivers advanced electronic systems for the protection of people, infrastructure and assets. We operate in the fields of electronic warfare and cyber security, creating scalable solutions by investing in innovation and delivering excellence. Working in partnership with defence and civil organisations, we respond to their requirements, delivering precisely the right product at the right time, helping to counter evolving and emerging threats worldwide. The research to be conducted in the Central Hub for Advanced Research in IoT (CHARIoT) supports work currently being conducted as part of the innovation programme within L-3 TRL. This work aligns with our strategic model, supporting our entry into the marketplace as a supplier of innovative and trusted solutions for loT Cyber Security and Secure Cloud Infrastructure. L-3 TRL are a critical enabler for the adoption of IoT security and greatly wish to support the CHARIoT in order to meet the challenges of: (i) Implementing safe and secure applications on resource-constrained lightweight loT devices, including compromise detection and the application of appropriate compromise responses, (ii) Securing the requisite enterprise management services hosted by cloud providers, L-3 TRL has a history of investing in strategic collaborations with major security vendors and with world leading Universities. We develop market leading products and research in the field of cyber security and high grade/high bandwidth cryptographic solutions. Our technical ability and market reputation underpins the objectives of this proposal for a Central Hub for Advanced Research in IoT. We are currently funding research into mobile cyber security at Warwick University with a final value expected to be circa £100,000. The proposed research collaboration with the CHARIoT consortium will work alongside our in-house teams to support and extend our loT and cloud security service investigations. As part of the proposed collaboration with the CHARIoT consortium, L-3 TRL offers staff time for consultancy, guest lecturing and research collaboration from our leading area and product experts including: · Paul Yates, Security Consultant who is a subject matter expert in the area of cloud security · James Pyke, Assistant Chief Engineer for Cyber Products · Steve Mason, Chief Technical Officer, who leads our cyber security innovation research · A further one Engineer who will support the activities in this work TRL Technology As part of this support, we expect to be contributing advice through regular bilateral meetings with CHARIoT leaders/investigators. We estimate the total value of this in-kind contribution to be approximately £90,000 in addition to the currently committed value of £100,000. L-3 TRL expects the results of this research to augment their own defence and commercially positioned work, contributing to the essential analysis required in the fields of IoT and Cloud Security in order to support the projected speed of growth, and adoption of this technology. Whilst L-3 TRL are still at the very early stages of our own research, I am confident that this proposed partnership would benefit both parties as well as producing significant ground breaking work in this essential field.

Organisation National Crime Agency
Country United Kingdom 
Sector Public 
PI Contribution We are working with the National Crime Agency and the MET to organise a roundtable on tech abuse on the 19 of October. The roundtable will inform the development of a VAWG Digital Strategy as well as a STRA. Purpose of the roundtable The roundtable is specifically designed to inform the response to technology-enabled abuse and participants have been invited based on their expertise in research, advocacy and service provision around those experiencing technology based VAWG. This roundtable is being organised by the VAWG taskforce, with the kind support and assistance of UCL, as one of a number of events to inform the development of the VAWG STRA. We will be running other events with other participants (e.g. we have a roundtable with industry being organised with Tech UK in November). What is the STRA? The VAWG Strategic Threat and Risk Assessment (STRA) is an intelligence assessment of the overall threat from VAWG. Its purpose is to inform the national and local response to VAWG offending and to benchmark trends in both the nature of offending as well as the response of police and other partners. This approach is in line with that taken to other long standing national threat areas such as Counter Terrorism and Serious & Organised Crime included in the SPR. As this is the first STRA for VAWG it will be something of a baseline. The aim is for the STRA to be regularly reviewed and updated, probably on an annual basis. Police forces have already been asked to compile problem profiles of VAWG offending in their force areas covering issues such as the profile of victims, offenders, places, education and technology in offending. To help inform this baseline as we feel that it is vital for it to reflect as broad a range of views as possible. We really want to take advantage of the expertise and insight of those attending the workshop in technology enabled abuse and offending. Without an authoritative national picture of the problem it is difficult to articulate the need for dedicated resources and accountability across police forces and partners. The STRA will be published in the spring of 2023 and a version of the STRA will be made publicly available and distributed to partners.

Collaborator Contribution Dear Professor Watson Re: (proposed) Cybersecurity of the Internet of Things Hub I am pleased to confirm that Qonex, the consulting arm of Nexor, would be very happy to support your proposal to the above EPSRC funding call. Nexor provides trustworthy solutions that enable people and enterprises to use technology more productively and securely. We work in industrial sectors as well as national infrastructure, government and defence organisations where the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information systems is critical. In 2015 we set up Qonex to specifically focus applying Nexor's core expertise in providing trustworthy solutions to the emerging Internet of Things. Our focus is to enable organisations deploying the Internet of Things, understand the cyber security aspects of technology innovation, and to manage the associated risks. As this Internet of Things market evolves, we welcome collaborating more closely with the research hub to maintain our innovative edge by gaining a much better understanding of these areas as they develop. As an SME we cannot cover all the territory ourselves, and an association with research activities such as this provide us with valuable insight into where to prioritise our efforts. We anticipate our level of support to include attendance and contribution in workshops, sandpits and seminars as part of information sharing. We estimate our contribution in kind is to a commercial value of £18,000 over the three year period. We would also anticipate working with the university in funded R&D projects to solve specific challenges as they arise. Yours sincerely Colin Robbins Managing Consultant

Collaborator Contribution 27 August 2015 Dear Sirs CYBERSECURITY AND THE INTERNET OF THINGS HUB We are writing to express our support for the cyber security and the internet of things hub. About Pinsent Masons Pinsent Masons is one of the largest law firms in the UK. We field more than 350 partners and 1500 lawyers with our largest presence in the UK but spread across 20 offices on 3 continents. We advise clients in the manufacturing sector and have an extensive understanding of these businesses and the industries within which they operate. Our work covers the full range of activities including matters pertinent for present purposes such as data protection, IP, product liability, connectivity, information technology etc. We would propose to support the consortium project from the UK. The importance of the internet of things The internet of things, the ability of machines to communicate with each other, has profound implications for almost all business sectors including manufacturing. It potentially disrupts traditional business models and supply chains; brings new risks as well as opportunities; and raises a range of legal complexities. These include: how to manage restructuring in response to the disruption to business models; how to protect IP; cyber security; data protection and getting the right contracts in place for new risks, liabilities and relationships. The internet of things enables manufacturers to gain more data about their operations, customers and markets. This then allows them to make efficiencies through more sophisticated distribution, better supply chains and improved operational effectiveness. These improvements are important to success in a highly competitive world and need to be embraced and managed through effective IT and data management. With consideration for our own objectives and interest we are very much interested in working with you supporting your research hub as it directly aligns with the issues our clients are facing. There is huge value in bringing together the proposed consortium in one structure to consider these issues. We have a long standing relationship with Warwick and have supported a number of research collaborations and joint seminars and initiatives. Pinsent Masons Proposed Support to the Project As well as supporting the project in concept, Pinsent Masons is keen to participate in a practical sense particular in relation to consideration of the data and security issues that may arise. Recognising cyber security as a pressing management issue we have invested already in investigating cyber security with our clients through surveys and assisting clients with cyber readiness and would be keen to bring these 'earnings to the hub. We would envisage our support would include:- - attending any 'advisory group' or workshop sessions to input in respect of early consideration of legal implications; - inputting into papers addressing legal and policy issues relevant to the project. Based on the attendance at relevant meetings and the preparation of specific research and discussion papers we would be prepared to contribute senior lawyer time of up to 250 hours over three years at a notional value of up to £90,000. Yours faithfully Pinsent Masons LLP

On behalf of Callsign, I would like to confirm full commitment and support for the establishment of a Research & Development (R&D) hub on privacy and trust in IoT. Callsign is a rapidly growing start up that is internationally recognised for its game-changing approach to digital identification. Formed in 2011, Callsign has received investment from major tech and professional services firms including Qualcomm, Deutsche Telekom and Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu. Since its inception Callsign has placed major emphasis on continual R&D in the area of computer security, this is reflected in numerous international patents that have been filed and granted. The company currently employs 38 staff, which is growing on a weekly basis. The majority of staff are software engineers and mathematicians with expertise in the field of computer security and cryptography. Our head office is located in Shoreditch, London with other offices in Palo Alto, California as well as Manhattan and Binghamton, New York. Our commitment to high calibre research is evidenced by the relationships we have formed with State University of New York (SUNY) and the University of Warwick. An annual security hackathon has been created with the Cyber Security Group at the University of Warwick with the inaugural hackathon held in June of 2015; the winning project was focused on preserving security in IoT. The number of recent high-profile cybersecurity breaches has made securing the Internet of Things a major global priority. Callsign is investing heavily into the R&D of capabilities to help businesses achieve the appropriate levels of security in IoT. Of our R&D spend we will open up £150,000 to your research hub. Based upon this R&D it is anticipated that products will be developed that help businesses improve efficiency, reduce costs and enable improved management of security risks. Ultimately this will have a substantial positive impact on UK Plc. In addition to the direct opportunities and generation of economic wealth, the indirect benefits of the programme are expected to help position the UK as the centre of next generation cybersecurity capability.

This allows us to schedule the switch-off events for hundreds of plugs, collect the status of each plug and store the data. The platform also calculates the reward points based on the performance of each individual (if they abide by the smart grid choices or not and the power consumed). The company supports the platform, hosts the server on its cloud infrastructure, stores the data for our work and provides support related to the performance of the platform. We also have a two-year Premium support (worth 9,600 GBP) for a 24/7 phone and email support, In version maintenance, feature enhancement support and version upgrade protection (See contract). Poplar Harca hosts the testbed for SeMIoT experiments, these are the residences that host the plugs we measure. Poplar provides us with access to their facilities, connection with impact champions (energy sensitive individuals to "spread the word" about our work), background information (addresses, names, etc) for the participants, management of the lists and the changes in their premises, etc. They also have organised bi weekly calls with us to provide updates about the progress of the experiments. An individual researcher (Alexandros Kosiaris) has helped us to produce the new version of the Powbal platform and contributed to the previous rounds of these experiments. Without his support on a weekly basis this platform would not have become a reality.

Collaborator Contribution Dear Professor Maple Re: TRL Statement of support for the Centre for Internet of Things TRL, the UK's Transport Research Laboratory, is an internationally recognised centre of excellence providing world-class research, consultancy and product testing, covering all aspects of transport. TRL was established in 1933 and since that time has continually made significant and lasting contributions to the development of safe, efficient and effective transport systems in the UK and beyond. We currently employ around 375 staff, most of whom are technical specialists in their field, with experts in engineering, statistics, software, psychology and human factors. TRL has access to a range of dedicated facilities including modelling & simulation software, advanced driving simulators, crash test rigs and test tracks. Our head office is in Crowthorne, Berkshire and the company has an annual turnover in excess of £30m. Satellite offices operate in Scotland, Wales, Dubai and Qatar. TRL operates the TRL Academy, an internal body with responsibility for maintaining the academic and research strengths upon which the organisation is founded. The Academy also manages our ongoing engagement with a range of universities and research organisations from the UK and beyond. We are well aware of the strong capabilities of the core university partners and have a number of research connections. We are, for example, working with Warwick on a "Towards autonomy - Smart and connected control" EPSRC project so are very pleased to be supporting this impressive initiative. TRL's business focuses on the generation and application of knowledge in the transport domain. We anticipate that IoT will be a major driver for innovation and development in transport over the next 10 years and will have a huge impact on the safety, efficiency and effectiveness of transport systems of all kinds. It is therefore vital that we understand these developments so that we remain relevant to our markets and customers and are better placed to generate and apply new knowledge in the area. We anticipate that IoT will impact particularly on connected and automated vehicles and on smart cities/smart infrastructure, all of which are important areas of work for us but also areas where the threat of cyber-crime is increasingly high-profile. We also need to understand how these aspects will be handled and will affect our clients and our work. Project Partner Letter of Support TFL Letter We intend to engage with and contribute to the Research Hub in a number of ways. Firstly, we would seek to participate as members of the External Advisory Group to help provide direction and governance to the programme. Secondly, we would help to develop the scope for projects undertaken within the Centre's programme based on our knowledge of the domain and future research requirements; this will include participation in workshops, "sandpits" and the like. Thirdly, depending on the scope of the research, we may be able to supply research data or access to specific facilities or equipment. Finally, we would hope to find suitable projects in which we can collaborate (e.g. by contribution of staff effort, secondment of staff to the centre, hosting of centre staff at TRL and co-supervising PhD students). It is difficult to define the precise financial value of our proposed in-kind support. For budgetary estimation purposes, we suggest maximum values for the four items described over a three year period as follows: 1. Participation in External Advisory Group activities £10k 2. Project scoping and advice £10k 3. Access to data and facilities £30k 4. Project collaboration £60k In conclusion, we are very pleased to be supporting this impressive initiative directed by Professor Jeremy Watson of UCL. The Centre for the Internet of Things can develop as a Research Hub of activity in this priority area for the UK and TRL can play an active role in supporting its development and operation. We highly commend this proposal and look forward to joining a first class team. Yours sincerely Professor Nick Reed Director, TRL Academy

Country United Kingdom 
Sector Academic/University 
PI Contribution The concept of "social machines" is increasingly being used to characterize and describe various socio-cognitive spaces on the Web. Social machines imitate real-life processes and activities including human communication, opinion formation, interactions, and knowledge creation. Social machines continuously emerge and fade on the Web. The relationship between humans and machines has become further complicated by the scale of adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and devices. Scale, automation, continuous sensing, and actuation capabilities of these devices has added a third dimension to the relationship between humans and machines. As a result, new concerns of privacy and security are emerging. The divergent nature of these new socio-technical systems which we call Cyber Physical Social Machines (CPSMs) makes the problem non-trivial both at a systemic and conceptual level. In this study, we attempt to describe different exemplars of Cyber Physical Social Machines enabled and created by IoT devices. We describe the as-sociated challenges of security and privacy threats and emphasize the need for further studies in the proposed area of Cyber Physical Social Machines.

Title Spectroscopy for blood perfusion monitoring 
Description This medical device has been designed and developed by The Hamlyn Centre at Imperial College London. It measures different biological parameters like oxygen level in the skin. The ICL StO2 uses optical sensors to capture the small skin colour changes with blood flow. This technique is already been used in laboratories. The ICL StO2 is a much smaller and less costly alternative to current devices used in hospitals. It was developed to meet the needs of both patients and the clinical team for continuous follow up of tissue health. For reconstructive surgery, the ICL StO2 could help assessing whether or not additional surgery is needed according to the oxygen level measured on the targeted tissue. Other applications include continuous blood perfusion or blood flow monitoring (diabetes for example).

Title Porter Proxy for securly exposing database interfaces on the Web 
Description With a large number of datasets now available through the Web, data-sharing ecosystems such as the IoT Observatory have emerged. The IoT Observatory provides an active decentralised ecosystem for datasets and applications based on a number IoT Observatory sites, each of which can run in a different administrative domain. On a IoT Observatory, users can publish and securely access datasets across domains via a harmonised API and reverse proxies for access control. However, that API provides an interface that is different from the underlying databases', and consequently, existing applications built on top of those database interfaces require major modification to work with the Web Observatory ecosystem. We propose a lightweight architecture called Porter Proxy to address these issues. Porter Proxy exposes the same interfaces as databases as requested by the users while enforcing access control. 
Type Of Technology New/Improved Technique/Technology 
Year Produced 2017 
Impact Enable applications to communicate with datasets shared in the IoT Observatory.

Geographic Reach Local
Primary Audience Industry/Business
Results and Impact This workshop will introduce new developments such as blockchain and smart contracting technologies to participants in a tangible and experiential way. The aim is to foster and support creative explorations of potential future visions of value exchange in an increasingly 'smart city'.

After an initial introduction, the workshop will comprise of a hands-on exploration of GeoCoin and a creative smart contracting activity. GeoCoin is a web app developed by the Design Informatics Team to explore digital currencies and value in the city. Based on the smart contracting platform Ethereum and in association with your phone's GPS data, it will challenge your understanding of data sharing, value exchange, and economic transactions in the city in an experiential way. We will then further dive into the understanding and use of smart contracts through an 'If This Then What' design exercise to envision and imagine new narratives and potential applications.

Overall, this workshop aims to foster discussion and understanding of potential issues, concerns and opportunities arising from these new technological developments for society, business and people alike. No prior knowledge of the technologies is required to join the workshop, nor is it necesary to own a smartphone. However, bringing a smartphone along will allow you to get the most out of the experience.

Both workshops are part of the After Money Symposium which heralds the end of Design Informatics' research project After Money in collaboration with the Royal Bank of Scotland and the New Economics Foundation, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council. The event is hosted by New Media Scotland as part of their 48 hours programme.

The symposium events are separately ticketed - please book sessions you would like to attend separately.

Results and Impact The meeting focused on key problems posed by the development of Machine Learning. Machine Learning promise radical change in sectors such as medicine, education, elderly care, transport and manufacturing. Like previous revolutions-printing, electricity, the combustion engine, transistors, computers and the internet-AI and Machine Learning will augment and disrupt the world of work. They will turbocharge some jobs and replace others. They will also create new industries that call for workers with skills that do not yet exist. Policymakers must start thinking now about how to realise the potential for AI and Machine Learning to increase economic productivity and to improve the lives of millions-especially people in the developing world. What should they do to encourage the adoption of these technologies? And can they legitimately do so without also responding to their potential negative impact? The downside for some-who may lose their livelihood. And the dark side-that AI and Machine Learning could enable discrimination or economic exclusion?

Results and Impact Work by Design Informatics is showcased at the Edinburgh Digital Entertainment Festival, 4-28 August 2016.
The Design Informatics exhibition, Living with Data, is displayed in a Pavilion produced by Biomorphis architects. It features a range of products and experiences which look to the future:
In this demo we introduce Bitbarista, a coffee machine that exemplifies a new approach to data access and usage for the design of IoT devices. Bitbarista is connected to the Internet and attempts to communicate complex data processes, gathering consistent information on the state of coffee producing countries. It reveals the social, environmental, qualitative and economic aspects of coffee supply chains affecting end-prices, of which consumers are often unaware. Bitbarista allows people to choose a source of future coffee beans for the machine, and situates their choices within the pool of decisions previously made. In doing so, it places customers within the complexity of factors involved in coffee production, distribution and purchase. The aim is to expose this complexity in order to re-engage users in the market forces that influence and are driven by their choices, providing a positive experience of data display, usage and sharing.

Results and Impact What happens when we give physical things wallets containing digital currencies? How can this alter power relationships and shift social dynamics? Chris Speed will explore these questions by highlighting the use of smart contracts in design, from a coffee machine that lets you vote for your coffee bean and pays those who clean it, to a hairdryer that trades on the energy market to offer the best price for drying your hair. As objects are connected to the Internet, forming the 'Internet of Things', Chris asks what happens when technologies are given their own spending power, and what this implies for the human.

Form Of Engagement Activity A talk or presentation

Geographic Reach International
Primary Audience Industry/Business
Results and Impact Understanding value within digital economies is now a challenge for any organisation as the representation of value is no longer restricted to money, but to the values that a product or a service means to the consumer according to the data that is exchanged. In this sense, people are not only using money to buy things that they value, they are using data to co-create value alongside social, political and environmental values. Designing the flow of data can better support organisations' ability to anticipate how the values that are associated with products and services can be better articulated.

Chris's talk will be supported by design case studies from funded projects that have produced prototype products, services and workshop methods that enable research partners to anticipate how data can be used to co-create value.

The workshop focused on the public understanding of trust and the current crisis of representation in Europe. I gave a paper informed by my research at PETRAS on the changing relation between trustworthiness as provided by emergent digital technologies and notions of social trust. My talk suggested that the current European crisis is related to a systematic neglect of this relation and an artificial imposition of trust.

The workshop examined why 'trust' features so prominently in debates about social change, discontent, and new political orders. One of the aims of the workshop was to understand the role of trust talk in attempts to explain our current condition and its implications for living with difference and uncertainty in increasingly interconnected and globalising societies. My own talk focused on the way the emerging economies enabled by new digital technologies, which are meant to ease and bring efficiency to our everyday lives, also promote problematic notions of value, ownership, and trust. The paper explored ways in which most emerging digital economies try to balance out technical and economic benefits with challenging notions of trust.

Results and Impact Join us for a lecture on co-creating value in the digital economy at DataFest 2019. Delivered by Professor Chris Speed from the University of Edinburgh, this is your first taste of a new understanding of value for your business, your customer and the UK's data and marketing industry.
The way so many of us think about value must change.
20th century business models as prescribed by producers - and pushed to consumers - are past and outdated.
The 21st digital economy - led by the UK data and marketing industry championed by the DMA - rests on complex networks of people, artefacts and bots to support the feedback of data, powered by the co-creation of value.
These dynamic relationships can be described as value constellations.
Join us for a DMA data ethics lecture at DataFest 2019 that explores how value is co-created in value constellations, and reveals the implications, risks and opportunities for new business models in the digital economy.
You will learn:
• About the mission to restore and build trust in the brand / consumer conversation
• The benefits to your brand and your customer of establishing a true, universal understanding of the worth of information
• More about the DMA's mission to elevate and champion the role of data - from the classroom to the boardroom - to help your organisations responsibly deliver value to their customers
The session is led by Professor Chris Speed - Chair of Design Informatics at the University of Edinburgh.
There his research focuses on the network society, digital art and technology and the Internet of Things.
This lecture is part of a series, and a new DMA campaign - Value of Data.
This campaign - conceived by DMA Scotland and led out of Scotland as a hub of data expertise, FinTech and exciting, innovative start-ups - will drive the data agenda across the UK's data and marketing industry.

Results and Impact Talbot Rice Gallery was a special one-day exhibition showcasing the results of an innovative hands-on workshop. Guided by artist Rob Kennedy and curator James Clegg, delegates were welcomed to drop-in and contribute verbally and physically to a playful discussion about how modes of exhibition and display shape and manifest cultural, social, political and physical engagements within life.

Playtime tests the fundamental process of exhibition making by looking at how the manipulation of simple objects and basic materials can allow complex ideas to be shared in imaginative and accessible ways. Starting with an empty space and pile of cardboard boxes, the workshop will have seen a diverse group of academics and students challenged to play out and debate a number of games, applying the logic of a particular world-view to the subsequent spatial creations you will find presented in the Gallery.

Led by specialist 'game leaders' the project will provide insights into ongoing research from across the University and further afield. From animal behaviour to invisibility, from translation to tool-making, from cyborgs to lateral thinking, Playtime will overcome disciplinary boundaries and foster curiosity, fantasy and imagination. The content of the exhibition will only become known through its making, this process will reflect and encourage new forms of creative learning and interaction.

Results and Impact Title: BitBarista
Artist: Rory Gianni, Ella Tallyn, Mark Kobine, Larissa Pschetz (Design Informatics)
BitBarista is an example of an Internet of Things device, one of a growing number of devices connected to the internet that can collect, exchange and use data. BitBarista uses Bitcoin currency enabling customers to engage with this new form of transaction that can move beyond currency into new types of value exchange.

BitBarista is a Delonghi home coffee machine that has been enhanced by the addition of a Raspberry Pi computer which interfaces with the coffee machine enabling the computer to control its functions. BitBarista has its own Bitcoin account, so it can accept and make Bitcoin payments. This means that customers can pay for coffee in Bitcoin, and BitBarista can also make Bitcoin payments to customers in return for maintenance tasks such as refilling the water or cleaning away coffee grinds. The idea is that BitBarista becomes semi-autonomous, trading with customers to take care of its own maintenance requirements.
The Edinburgh Digital Entertainment Festival (4-27 August 2016) is to launch this year as a new face on the Fringe circuit, the festival "presented by Riverside Studios, brings together the worlds of arts, entertainment and technology - to showcase the best of what is happening right now and provoke the conversation about what comes next." The festival will take place on George Square and the Assembly Rooms this August and we are delighted that Design Informatics and the University of Edinburgh, ECA will be taking part.

We will be showing work by Design Informatics researchers and Masters students in a specially commissioned structure by Biomorphis architects. A range of products and experiences will be shown that invite you to live a little further into the future, looking at the theme of Living with Data. Come and get married for 15 minutes with our smart contracting app, have a cuppa from the bitcoin coffee machine and try out intelligent furniture.

The Design Informatics Pavilion has been designed by Pierre Forissier from Edinburgh based, Biomorphis architects and Mark Kobine. Interested in how digital technology could be used to design a modular structure, Pierre wrote an algorithm to generate different cellular divisions to form the surface of the structure. Using a CNC router (Computer Numerical Control) pairs of sheets are assembled to form modular cassettes; the double layered skin constantly changes the view of the interior or exterior as you move. Prefabricated off site, and assembled quickly on site, the final pavilion demonstrates how computer algorithms are helping designers develop parametric architecture which is strong, light weight but evocative to the eye.

Design from/with/by Data

The complex constellations of personal and shared devices that are connected to everyday practices that involve the transmission of data constitute openings to new markets in which different kinds of value are exchanged. In many cases we are becoming attuned to understanding how value is constructed as we use software: social media users are becoming aware of the many pros and cons of exchanging social values in Facebook, while Trip Advisor users understand the implications of their liking, disliking and commenting upon the economic values of hotels. However, as websites and apps become replaced by objects that we use in everyday life, such as making tea, taking a shower or getting on the bus, it is less clear how the flow of data that is derived from our interactions, constructs value and is 'traded' between services. This disjuncture in the flow of value - with and without humans in the loop - presents both opportunities and threats to people and institutions. This paper will explore the implications of emerging ecosystems and an agenda for designing human data interactions, that goes beyond the organization and understanding of data, toward the development of platforms that balance the values of all stakeholders within complex digital economic systems to offer a level of commensurability with a service.

Raconteur was founded on the conviction that the intelligent mass still value focused, high-quality content, expertly produced and beautifully designed. In an era when publishers are suffering from declining margins and forced to cut corners on their products, we have stubbornly gone against the tide and been resolutely committed to the strength of old publishing values such as editorship, quality long-form journalism, eye-catching design and striking photography. That's why we obsess over cover illustrations, specialise in data journalism and infographics and only work with the most well-renowned editors, journalists and leading opinion makers - giving them the time and space to really tell stories and investigate areas in a leading way that matter in the 21st century.

Results and Impact Smart Transactions in Public Spaces (STiPS) is part of the PETRAS Iot Hub, see https://www.petrashub.org. Within STiPS the aim is to explore the particular challenges of developing systems for secure, low-friction, transactions in public spaces. In this workshop we are interested in exploring not only in the exchange of monetary currency, but also in the concept of trading data and personal information, where the line between data and currency blurs, and data becomes currency. As well as the explicit exchanges taking place between people, we are also interested in the trading and transfer of data taking place between devices and systems, of which people are generally unaware, but which forms part of this complex web of data transactions.

In the STiPS project so far we have begun to map out the practices and transactions currently taking place in a series of ethnographic studies, and have explored reactions to the BitBarista a hacked coffee machine that sells coffee for Bitcoin. We are looking to move into adopting technology developed at the RBS that may support new data transaction systems.

Results and Impact GeoPact is a demonstration of new location verification and smart contract technologies that enables participants to physically play through the use of these technologies and gain a better understanding of their workings and potential. Participants used a prototype version of the GeoPact system to fulfil a location-based smart contract through a "body-storming" process in which they physically enacted a prescribed scenario. In this scenario participants collected various items using a smart-box, from a number of smart-stations located in an indoor space. Participants completed the GeoPact demonstration and then took part in a small focus group session to in which they were invited to discuss their experiences of the demonstration, and reflect on how they imagine these technologies might play a role in future everyday activities. The aim of this pilot event was to assess both the GeoPact prototype, and the overall experience and focus group session in order to improve these for future events.

Data produced by IoT smart objects have the potential to unlock a mass of new digital services. However, it can be difficult to ensure the validity and security of these data. GeoPact is a fusion of IoT and Blockchain that provides security and trust around location data produced by smart objects. This demonstration showcases GeoPact as part of a system of integrated software and hardware components that enables participation in a fully functioning, location-based smart contract. For this demonstration we have created an example contract that uses portable IoT lock boxes that communicate via bluetooth and whose operations are governed by the smart contracts which participants can execute as they move around. The experience enables participants to enact and explore the specific operations and dynamics of a working smart contract and consider potential implications and applications.

Invited were a cross section of leading contributors from government, industry and academia, representing sectors such as health-tech and automotive (autonomous vehicles), where these issues are currently live, to help inform and facilitate the event.

Topics explored such as: • Liability (or not) in the face of malicious attack and whether the over-riding design goal for a system will be to produce evidence to support a defence in court • assurance of complex systems-of-systems that evolve (is my Machine Learning algorithm a sensor or a brain?) and • how can we offer sufficient assurance of software-based systems that we did not produce ourselves?

Results and Impact This talk was part of a half day conference on 'Cryptocurrency and blockchain'. Due to recent developments in the financial sector, this conference explored the possibility that blockchain could transform the way transactions are carried out. The intention was for lawyers to get a better understanding of Bitcoin and smart contracts and learn how novel concepts in these new technologies might affect their clients. The agenda explored the following questions: What are the ethics of this system? What will lawyers need to learn (particularly those with clients in financial and technology)? Is the law as we know it ready to manage this new technology? It was offered by the Law Society of Scotland to practicing lawyers, who could attend as part of CPD.

Results and Impact Invited talk regarding IoT:

Design from/with/by Data

The complex constellations of personal and shared devices that are connected to everyday practices that involve the transmission of data constitute openings to new markets in which different kinds of value are exchanged. In many cases we are becoming attuned to understanding how value is constructed as we use software: social media users are becoming aware of the many pros and cons of exchanging social values in Facebook, while Trip Advisor users understand the implications of their liking, disliking and commenting upon the economic values of hotels. However, as websites and apps become replaced by objects that we use in everyday life, such as making tea, taking a shower or getting on the bus, it is less clear how the flow of data that is derived from our interactions, constructs value and is 'traded' between services. This disjuncture in the flow of value - with and without humans in the loop - presents both opportunities and threats to people and institutions. This talk will explore the implications of emerging ecosystems and an agenda for designing human data interactions, that goes beyond the organization and understanding of data, toward the development of platforms that balance the values of all stakeholders within complex digital economic systems to offer a level of commensurability with a service.

Results and Impact On July 24, 2017, IoT Observatory based at University of Southampton and the CRACS project based at Oxford e-Research Centre hosted a day long workshop at the Oxford e-
Research Centre. The workshop was part of the series of workshops planned as part of the IoT Observatory project for dissemination of learnings on open research challenges for data sharing and reuse and integrating the outcomes of other PETRAS projects to build a data ecosystem for PETRAS infrastructure. The purpose of the workshop was to bring together and understand perspectives of PETRAS user-partners, policy, standards and governance stream, privacy and trust stream on technical, ethical and policy challenges for data sharing and re-use in the IoT ecosystems. The workshop participants represented both academic and user-partners including UCL, University of Oxford, University of
Southampton, Telefonica (O2) and DigitalCatapult. The workshop was chaired by Prof. David de Roure, OERC and Alisdair Ritchie. University of Warwick represented the PETRAS hub in the workshop. The agenda began with an overview of scoping IoT Observatory in the world of IoT data sharing and re-use. The IoT Observatory platform is capable to foster an ecosystem for data upcycling, facilitating interactions between stakeholders and engage communities. A detailed "show and tell" of the existing features of the IoT Observatory by the team. The IoT observatory team also shared their experiences of philosophical and technical challenges faced during development and design of the architecture. Some
of these include:
• Enabling sharing of heterogeneous databases through the observatory.
• Reverse proxy implementation to support end-users' metadata on the IoT observatory without having to give out their actual datasets in contrast to existing catalogues such as, CKAN.
• Facilitate real-time of IoT data sharing.
• Querying and analysing time-series IoT data and enabling personal IoT observatory implementation on light weight computers.
• Access control model for accessing data on the IoT Observatory based on usage and purpose.
The second session focused on discussing the open research challenges that can support technical capabilities of the IoT observatory. And the final session discussed ethical and policy frameworks that can be integrated with the IoT Observatory infrastructure and methods to assess trustworthiness of users decision making on the IoT Observatory.Key Messages "Why IoT Observatory matters"
• It is a piece of infrastructure that can bring together the research outputs of projects within the PETRAS to describe the philosophical, technical, ethical and legal challenges for IoT
data innovation.
• In addition to data and analytics sharing and re-use, a significant contribution of observatory can be to foster innovation by enabling sharing of methods and tools different projects use for analytics and applications on datasets, including software and user-studies.
• Test the standardization of terminologies and vocabulary using the datasets available on the observatory.

Results and Impact My keynote talk on "Government, universities and society: implications of the Digital Transformation" at the WASD conference introduced broad themes surrounding the emerging IoT and it's link to the conference theme: "Digital revolution, smart cities and performance improvement towards a sustainable knowledge-based inclusive development."

Conference description: "With the acceleration of the digital revolution, there lies the potential to utilise this to supplement sustainable development goals endeavours. Central to the forum were the challenges faced by countries within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The rapid urbanisation within the region were found to be leaning towards the development of smart cities, clearly exhibiting the governments'-particularly that of Saudi Arabia's-recognition and consideration of the importance of the role of technology and the youth in their states' future. Downward trends in oil prices have posed a serious barrier to this development, thus solutions to securing the economy and income in oil and gas export dependent states were also explored. The urgency of income and wealth inequalities was also revisited, which called for further radical reform in regulation and policy to better address the welfare, and macro- and micro-level challenges that have arose."

This platform aims to make bitcoin and blockchain technologies accessible in a playful and experiential manner to a wider audience. We have used this platform as bodystorming tool in workshops to explore new models and aspects of geofencing digital currencies.
The platform was developed on the distributed smart contracting platform Ethereum with actual underlying blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency Ether which allows this software to be further adapted for real life use cases and scenarios. There are currently 4 different types of GeoCoin which allow users to collect coins which may add or subtract from their current balance. Simulating potential tax, toll and earning scenarios, this speculative software allows users to experience and explore the potential of digital currencies in a 'Smart City' environment. The workshop was held as part of the Tesco Mercury consultancy programme to open up an understanding of smart contracting outside of the realm of finance.

Results and Impact Event Description
Secure by design - A Digital Catapult Forum on behalf of IoT UK and Cyber 101

Supported by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport via Digital Catapult's programmes IoT UK and Cyber 101, this one-day event will explore the opportunities and challenges of what it means to be secure by design. Together with representatives from government, industry leaders and academia, we will discuss the challenges of building secure products in a complex IoT supply chain and where responsibility and liability sit within this framework from product design through to retailer and consumer.
This event will host a collaborative workshop and forum for discussion with leading figures from across government, industry and research.

Who should attend?
This event is designed for manufacturers, retailers, startups, government and organisations involved in the internet of things

Why attend?
This is an opportunity to hear from a panel of experts in the field but also to provoke audience opinion and questions throughout the session. There will be the opportunity to network with experts from a range of industries.


Agenda

9.15am - Registration, Coffee & Networking

10am - Key note 1: Building pragmatic and realistic expectations for IoT security: the story behind the UK's Code of Practice for Consumer IoT Security
David Rogers. Founder of Copper Horse Solutions, visiting professor in Cyber Security and Digital Forensics at York St John University, Chair of the GSMA Device Security Group and Exec. Board member of the IoT SF. Author of the UK's Code of Practice for Security in Consumer IoT and services

10.30am - Panel 1: Secure By Design - guidelines, compliance and liability
Secure by Design is a hot topic in IoT consumer manufacturing and a number of organisations are engaged in defining frameworks and guidelines to support the adoption of 'best practice' in the industry. This panel will consider how companies ensure they are compliant with best practice, what 'good enough' looks like given the innumerable variances in function and category of IoT products and the subsequent 'grey-scale' of criticality versus responsibility. We will also look at considerations of liability within the supply-chain, from chip manufacturers to retailers.
Chair - Jamie Harrison, Head of Innovation Programmes, Digital Catapult.

12pm - Lunch

1pm - Keynote 2: Securing the IoT and Beyond
Delivered by Jeremy Watson, CBE FREng FIET FICE DPhil, Professor of Engineering Systems & Vice-Dean (Mission) University College of London

1.30pm - Panel 2: How speculative design and new design methods can plan for security and adoption requirements.
Chris Speed
Paul Coulton
Andy Hudson-Smith
The panel will discuss how speculative design, prototyping and in-field experiments can help designers and developers identify and better plan for security and adoption requirements. This panel will consider how we think about securing the future, how independent research and speculative design as a methodology enables us not only to prepare ourselves for the future but also to plan for the future that we want, and understand trade-off and potential consequences of emerging technology in the IOT arena.
Chair - Rchel Cooper OBE, Distinguished Professor - Design Management and Policy, Director - ImaginationLancaster, Chair - Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts

Results and Impact Our Ox-chain team will be running their Pizza Block workshop on the 29 May with Modern Human for the Decentralized Design meet up. It will be a unique opportunity to learn about blockchain, experience how it works in practice and participate in a lively discussion. Decentralised or 'self-sovereign' identity management has recently emerged as a potential blockchain use-case, in particular to grant individuals greater control over their personal data, and support verification of identity and certification. In this design-led workshop, we aim to unpack the core premises of blockchain-based identity management applications, and create space for participants to consider the implications of these systems in a range of domains. The workshop will be based around a co-operative game, where participants will play as either individuals or organisations acquiring, managing and verifying 'pizza-making' skills to each other, through a combination of blockchain-based artefacts and a distributed ledger.



Decentralized Design has been set up to cultivate a community of researchers, designers, product managers and similar, working on demystifying a highly technical space in order to bring forth real user value. Set up in February 2019 Decentralized Design will offer events that will focus on enabling the conversations we need to have, learning from those who are currently tackling design problems in this space and building out the practices that will enable constructive and positive futures for decentralized technlogies.

The event is sponsored by Modern Human, an award-winning, multidisciplinary design practice and innovation consultancy.

Modern Human works at the intersection of design, behavioural science, technology and business to imagine new products, services, & experiences that improve modern life. Their work includes connected home appliances that make you a better cook; financial services for the way you really manage your money; products that help doctors save lives in the NHS; and physical environments inside retail stores, libraries, museums and call centres.

Modern Human was founded on the philosophy we should all be enriched, empowered and liberated by the technology available to us. Blockchain is one of the next generation of technology with exponential power to transform the direction of humanity. Modern Human believes it's vital for designers to contribute to conversations about the human implications of these technologies.

Results and Impact This workshop has been organised by the Transport and Mobility stream within the PETRAS hub and is hosted by the UK's mapping agency Ordnance Survey. It will consider how to secure the connection to a moving device or system (such as a connected vehicle) in a reliable and secure way. This must, of course, be balanced against maintaining locational privacy through, for example, providing short-term linkability of locations while maintaining privacy across journeys. The workshop will present initial findings from the GEOSEC* project within PETRAS and explore use cases to understand different viewpoints on the issues from other domain perspectives.
*GEOSEC is a three-year project, funded by Ordnance Survey at the University of Surrey's 5G Innovation Centre as a contribution to the PETRAS consortium.

This workshop will aim to:
(i) to enhance understanding of the range of different issues and challenges that face real world industry and to give attendees to the opportunity to collaborate with other genuine knowledge holders within the sector.
(ii) to give attendees the opportunity to work with sector experts to dissect this information and develop solutions, or platforms from which solutions can be developed, that will benefit the sector as a whole.

When: 8-9 February 12:00-18:00 drop in free event

Location: Tate Exchange at the Tate Modern, Blavatnik Building, Level 5, Bankside, London, SE1 9TG



PETRAS Internet of Things Research Hub, is holding an event to showcase a number of its research projects in the Tate Exchange. This will be a drop-in event over 2 days which is free and open to the public. Throughout the 2 days will be 10-minute talks from researchers across the projects including one by our own Professor Chris Speed who will talk about "The Art of Things" at 13:00 on Saturday the 9th of February (no booking required).

Design Informatics will be showing two pieces as part of the event- GeoPact and Karma Kettles.




Karma Kettles

The Karma Kettle considers the expansion of distributed systems as a way to support more flexible energy infrastructures. In contrast to centralised national grids, distributed systems require lower initial investment, which allows for smaller enterprises to produce and sell energy in a free market economy.

The Karma Kettle simulates a context of distributed energy generation where domestic batteries contribute to store part of the energy available in the grid, ultimately helping to balance on and off-peak times and prices. The kettle displays states of scarcity and abundance of energy in the grid and in the storage grid and rewards users for pulling or pushing energy into the grid according to the state of the grid contributing to their energy "karma". For example, if energy is highly available in the grid and in storage, users are encouraged to use it, this way, using energy would contribute to a positive karma. If energy is scarce in the grid and in storage, users are encouraged to push stored energy into the network. In this case, using would contribute to a negative karma. The project attempts to investigate the potential for IoT devices to support end consumer energy trade and bottom-up energy generation.

At TATE the Karma Kettles will be presented as a game where two participants compete or collaborate with each other in order to balance the grid according to (or despite of) challenges encountered in the period of 24-hours.

Description RAE "Strengthening the Foundations" Workshop 
Form Of Engagement Activity Participation in an activity, workshop or similar
Part Of Official Scheme? No
Geographic Reach National
Primary Audience Industry/Business
Results and Impact This RAE workshop follows on directly from the publication of Connecting data, a joint report between the Royal Academy of Engineering and the IET, in November 2015. The report explored how the UK can create a 'data-enabled' economy through the use of data analytics supported by advanced data connectivity. It examined the opportunities and barriers for organisations and sectors to improve products and services using data analytics, and identified where innovations are possible that can help address the UK's productivity deficit. The sectors explored were advanced manufacturing, built environment, energy, transport, health, aerospace and defence, and insurance.

A key theme emerging from discussions at these workshops was concerns around the integrity and assurance of data, devices and systems in applications such as critical infrastructure and the Internet of Things. In particular, the interconnection of different systems will create systems of systems, either designed or accidental, that are vulnerable to anticipated emergent behaviour, including cascades of failure. One possible source of weakness is the poor quality of software in embedded systems.

This workshop responds to the first recommendation of Connecting data on 'Strengthening the foundations' (see page 4 of the report). It aims to explore what kind of enabling structure is needed that will ensure safety and resilience, without restricting innovation. Consideration of the need for best engineering practice and systems engineering approaches is a key part of this, as well as incentives to improve the quality of software, hardware and systems. It is also important to understand the cyber-challenge from a socio-technical point of view, with social science playing a key role alongside physical science and engineering in addressing knowledge and capability gaps.

The workshop will bring together representatives from industry, academia, government and infrastructure regulators, with an interest in the safety and resilience of the Internet of Things and critical infrastructure.

Objectives of the workshop:
• To explore the nature of the vulnerabilities created by the interconnection and interdependence of the systems associated with critical infrastructure and the Internet of Things, and identify examples.

• To explore the key objectives and characteristics of an enabling structure, that promotes innovation while ensuring safety and resilience. This would need to apply both to the implementation of new infrastructure and to the phased improvement of legacy systems.

• To identify possible tools and methodologies for much higher quality in software development. This could include consideration of best engineering practices, and in particular, systems engineering approaches, as well as other rigorous methods built on mathematical foundations.

To discuss additional mechanisms to incentivise the quality of software, hardware and systems, such as the introduction of enhanced liability in certain situations on producers and importers.

RISE Connect is a follow-up initiative naturally extending on the largely successful RISE Awards launched by the EPSRC in 2013 which paired a select number of scientists and engineers with individuals not connected with the world of science and followed the development of these relationships for an entire year.

The event was opened with a welcome note by Nicola Blackwood and Phil Nelson followed by an afternoon networking session during which several scientific projects and programmes showcased the diversity and high impact of research funded by the EPSRC. The key messages delivered during the event stressed that strong economies are science economies, economic growth is fuelled by technology, and engineering and physical sciences deliver much needed growth and productivity.

Results and Impact Description

The rise of the digital currency Bitcoin, along with its supporting technology Blockchain, offers a radical new model of peer-to-peer trading, which raises questions about our existing economic models, and threatens to undermine long accepted financial power structures. The world has changed. The push economy that has long dominated the way we consume products and services has been disrupted by a new pull economy, characterised by platforms such as Uber and Airbnb, where consumers take part in providing and shaping the services provided. This has precipitated an explosion of new products and thinking around decentralised trading of goods and services.

Design Informatics and Design In Action bring two sessions to Inverness on 5 Dec:

10:30-12:30 Lego BlockExchange - Interactive Workshop *attend in-person only

12:30 Light lunch

13:30-14:30 Seminar: Designing things with Spending Power *attend in-person, or watch online

*Please note the workshop in the morning cannot be live-streamed as the interactive nature of the activity requires participation.


More info:

Lego BlockExchange Workshop (10:30-12:30)

Explore the future of value beyond money in a dynamic workshop activity, run by you!

The Lego BlockExchange workshop is a toolkit is a for anyone interested in exploring this rapidly developing new territory. Block Exchange is a fast-paced workshop activity that will open minds to alternative means of value exchange. Using Lego to simulate the Blockchain, participants will experiment with different ways of trading, starting from the basic acquisition of resources, through a fluctuating market and finally exploring peer-to-peer trading of value where anything goes!

The session will be delivered by Professor Chris Speed, Chair of Design Informatics at the University of Edinburgh, and his team.


Designing things with spending power (13:30-14:30)

Design Informatics Seminar by Professor Chris Speed

What happens when we give physical things wallets containing digital currencies? How can this alter power relationships and shift social dynamics? Chris Speed will explore these questions by highlighting the use of smart contracts in design, from a coffee machine that lets you vote for your coffee bean and pays those who clean it, to a hairdryer that trades on the energy market to offer the best price for drying your hair. As objects are connected to the Internet, forming the 'Internet of Things', Chris asks what happens when technologies are given their own spending power, and what this implies for the human.

About Chris Speed

Chris Speed is Chair of Design Informatics at the University of Edinburgh where his research focuses upon the Network Society, Interaction Design, and The Internet of Things. At present Chris is working on funded projects that include coffee cups as cryptocurrencies, internet of toilet roll holders, and an argument that chickens are actually robots. Chris co-directs the Centre for Design Informatics Research that is home to a combination of researchers working across the fields of interaction design, temporal design, anthropology, software engineering and smart contracts, as well as PhD, MA/MFA and MSc and Advanced MSc programmes.

Call for Participation

Many early adopters of sustainable smart city technology employed a technocratic approach. The dominant visions of these future cities, such as in the "eco smart city" [19], address environmental sustainability through the optimisation and rationalisation of urban processes, making them more efficient and therefore more sustainable. However, critics claim that such approaches are too simplistic, are unable to deal with the complexities of real, messy cities [19] and perform sustainability in specific ways that leave little room for participation and citizen agency [7,11,19]. Furthermore, the technocratic approach limited the actual social benefit people could expect from their urban habitat, and this has led to a participatory turn in smart cities [e.g. [1,12]. For example, many local governments have started using human-centred and participatory design for the integration of technology in urban environments to address issues of sustainability.

However, the turn to participation within smart cities fails to address a human-exceptionalist notion of cities, in which urban space is designed for, and inhabited by, humans only. Within the age of the Anthropocene - a term used to refer to a new geological era in which human activity is transforming earth systems [16], accelerating climate change and causing mass extinctions [18] - a human-centred perspective is increasingly seen as untenable. In fields such as STS [10,13], environmental humanities [15,17], geography [2,21], planning [16], design [5,8,25] and HCI [24], scholars are expanding and challenging traditional binaries of Western thought such as City/Nature, Human/Non-human, to consider the entanglements between human and nonhuman worlds including in urban contexts, and the ways in which we can conduct participatory research in morethan- human worlds, in order to overcome problematic narratives of human privilege and exceptionalism.

The aim of this interdisciplinary workshop is to move the field of participatory design for sustainable smart cities forward by bringing together designers, practitioners, and researchers to explore what it means to co-design genuinely sustainable cities that take into account the ways in which cities and nature, and humans and non-humans are interrelated and interdependent, for the co-creation of environmentally and socially just postanthropocentric cities. We aim to develop new conceptions that move away from traditional binaries and open up new possibilities for thinking about participatory design for urban environments in hybrid digital-physical space. We also aim to explore practical ideas about how more-than-human perspectives can shape actual participatory design practices and policies related to cities. For example, we might explore design responses to new legal rights of non-humans such as trees and rivers [20] and how their participation is negotiated in urban processes in hybrid digitalphysical space [4].
Workshop Topics of Interests

The topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to the following:

Participatory design and use of smart cities, urban informatics and IoT technologies that explore human/morethan- human relations;
Methodological approaches, including opportunities and challenges for designing in more-than-human worlds;
Speculative designs, design fictions, and art projects;
Ethical and legal considerations, e.g. design responses to a new legal status of nature; • Designs that decentre the human or privilege other species;
Cultural aspects of sustainable smart cities in this space;
Theoretical perspectives from the literature e.g. Anthropocene, Capitalocene [18], Chthulucene [13], and;
"World-making", what could a more-than-human city be?

Audience

We welcome researchers and practitioners working on design cases, prototype development and artistic installations, as well as those working on theoretical, critical, legal, or ethical perspectives, including those from STS, environmental humanities, and other disciplines. We welcome methodological contributions, such as object-oriented ontology [3], non-human ethnographies [22], speculative design, and actor-network and assemblage theories related to decentring the human in design.

'Smart and Inclusive Cities' Summer School

The aim of this summer school is to review, discuss and propose means to achieve more inclusive, equal, sustainable and safe cities.

'Smart cities' have been the focus of a range of research approaches in the recent past and, although the importance of developing more efficient and connected cities has been widely recognised, in the implementation of smart cities strategies, often the individual and subsequently a varied patchwork of specific communities - all central to these endeavours - are overlooked.

Different models of smart cities strategies can be identified across the globe, from Barcelona to Stockholm, from Sao Paolo to Medellin, from Kigali to Delhi. In order to offer more depth and social awareness to ongoing political trends and research on smart cities, this summer school, and associated workshops, will be led by generating an understanding of the complex networks that interlink: territory-technology-community-individual.

The student-led summer school will interrogate:

What does smart and smartness mean in relation to complex urban, rural and territorial realities which overlap with even more complex sociocultural, political and economic dynamic relations?

How can smart city strategies be implemented, when they depend on a vast technical infrastructure, which often excludes wide layers of society, when looking at the Global South?

How does the Global Urban Age relate to specific communities and the individuals they accommodate?

It will look at the way information and communication technologies can be used to inform the smart city and also to include 'disadvantaged' groups of society, who are left out due to their lacking connectivity to the digital grid.

The summer school will be structured around the following thematic workshops:

Technology, Politics and Space
Experimental Experiences for Smart Cities
Digital Individuality and Corporate Ownership - Hacking the System
Materiality of the Smart City
Smart, Sustainable and Resilient Cities
Social Computing, Sensing and IoT for Smart Cities
Smart Cities and Energy Systems

There will also be three parallel, roundtable discussions:

International migration and the city
National and international migration in the context of economic and social development
The role of international agencies in developing policy for national and international migration

Most businesses have heard of Bitcoin as a blockchain technology and don't appreciate it has wider applications. The aim of this event is to give the business community an understanding of what blockchain is and its potential uses. The event will give businesses a basic understanding of blockchain and then look at more advanced uses. There will be an opportunity for networking and Belfast Met staff and presenters will be around afterwards to discuss any potential ideas or to get a better understanding of your particular sector.

We are thrilled to have Matt Lucas, a member of IBMs Global Blockchain Engagement Team, with us to share his knowledge. Matt is an expert in his field and travels the world addressing seminars and helping clients understand and adopt blockchain technologies to solve business requirements in a range of industries such as finance, the public sector, manufacturing and retail.

Matt Lucas - IBM Global Blockchain Engagement Team

Blockchain is about more than cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. There are changes coming that will blow your mind. Will they threaten the existence of many traditional businesses and be the growth engine of others? How is it providing the foundation for exciting new generation business process applications? What are those applications? Which sectors could be the winners and which the losers? If you want to gain some insights as to who and what may be the Blockchain equivalent in 10 years of recent arrivals like Amazon and eBay with multi-billion £ valuations then is this an opportunity you can't miss.

Overview

This session will comprise presentations by Fran Cardells, business innovation executive at Salesforce who will be followed by Professor Chris Speed, who will speak on 'More than Human Machines'.

Drawing on examples from the world's most innovative companies, Fran looks at how value creation is supercharged with data to boost experimentation, automate creativity, accelerate product/market fit, re-imagine business models and transform user experiences

Chris will then ask what happens when we give physical things wallets containing digital currencies. How can this alter power relationships and shift social dynamics? Chris will explore these questions by highlighting the use of smart contracts in design, from a coffee machine that lets you vote for your coffee bean and pays those who clean it, to a hairdryer that trades on the energy market to offer the best price for drying your hair. As objects are connected to the Internet, forming the 'Internet of Things', Chris asks what happens when technologies are given their own spending power, and what this implies for humans.

Results and Impact Invited talk during EUROCITIES 2018 tour of research centres

Creative competitive cities - building our future together EUROCITIES 2018 Edinburgh on 28-30 November will take place at a critical time for Europe, against the backdrop of the UK's decision to leave the European Union, and a year ahead of the European elections. In a turbulent world of unprecedented change and uncertainty cities are even more vital for Europe's future, being the drivers of inclusive and sustainable growth, jobs and innovation.

At this decisive moment in Europe's history, EUROCITIES 2018 Edinburgh will bring together participants from across Europe, from different levels of governance and amongst citizens, to discuss our future focusing on two interconnected strands:
Citizenship and democracy

While national governments continue to debate and make decisions on future national and institutional ties, cities will continue to reach out and build key bilateral and multilateral connections on a European and global scale.

Ahead of the European Parliament elections in 2019, EUROCITIES 2018 Edinburgh will be an opportunity for cities from across Europe to reinforce our position that EU institutions and member states must work with us, to empower citizens to engage with and understand the importance of the European project for all.

Within the EUROCITIES 'Cities4Europe - Europe for citizens' campaign, we will be collecting, analysing and drawing up recommendations for active democratic citizens' participation in all levels of government, and which we will also take forward to the European Commission and the European Parliament in our mayors' summit 2019.

Edinburgh 2018 will provide us with the occasion to discuss and validate this evidence of cities' engagement with citizens.
Culture - a smart investment for our future

Cities need creativity, collaboration and international connections to unlock solutions to urban challenges and to enrich the quality of life of their citizens and secure their future inclusion and prosperity.

Creativity and social innovation can help stimulate new solutions to address the challenges cities face, such as unemployment, climate change, political alienation.

During EUROCITIES 2018 Edinburgh we will explore how culture can build stronger ties between communities, bringing people together to learn from each other, broaden horizons and build relationships, opening up new ways of communication and understanding.

Primary Audience Policymakers/politicians
Results and Impact The Strategic Insights Unit of the Scottish Government is pursuing a
programme of work centred around the impact of technology in Scotland. The
programme focuses on how Scotland can better exploit the opportunities and
mitigate the risks associated with technological change in the mid-term
future.
The Unit has commissioned Frost and Sullivan to work with them in building
a set of scenarios around potential technological trends, which will be
used to help test a range of policy responses across Scottish Government.
Scenarios are a tool for dealing with uncertainty and are used to develop
policies and strategies that are robust, resilient, flexible and
innovative. The aim of developing scenarios is to:
·Create a common understanding, language and vision to use when
developing policies that are resilient to a range of possible
technological change scenarios; and
·Gain insights into opportunities and threats in these different
scenarios, with external expert advice and challenge.

This report sets out the process that has been undertaken to date for
identifying the main technological trends and drivers of change, and the
results of the initial impact and uncertainty assessment. This is the first
step in the process of developing fully fledged scenarios. The aim of this
step was to assess whether the trend has an impact on Scotland and how
uncertain the development of the trend is over the designated
2025-2035timeframe.

The current draft report
Is not complete. The tech trends summaries are very short summaries. See
pages 13-31. This will be amended over time to include more detailed
narrative points. See pages 33-38 as example.
The 'scoring' of impact vz uncertainty is based on clear criteria ; but the
judgments are broadly qualitative in nature. The critical uncertainties on
slide 41 are those trends identified as high impact and highly uncertain.
These critically uncertain trends we use as the basis of the scenarios.

Where we are in the process
We have gone through the process of mapping all the trends against
impact /uncertainty; and have been through one review process. We are
currently drafting scenarios to be used in a workshop process with
stakeholders on Monday 3rd December. After this we will finalise scenarios;
and we will also finalise the
Tech Trends report.

Results and Impact I co-organised the Things2Things workshops with the Design United team in the Netherlands:

Things2Things was a one-year-long project of the 3TU Industrial Design programs in the Netherlands that ran from January to October 2016. The project brought together a community of almost 50 professional designers and design researchers to explore the role of design thinking in creativity and innovation within the field of the Internet of Things. We have captured the key insights generated during the workshops in a booklet that we are launching at the Dutch Design Week, DRIVE Festival for Design and Innovation.

Anticipating a culture of small scale, distributed manufacturing, the workshop envisions a scenario in which people receive not software suggestions, but material artifacts that anticipate their daily needs. Over a period of 3 months, three families will play host to three networked 3D printers that 'print' artifacts meant to aid families in their daily practices. During the 3 months, participants in the final workshop will use readings from families' calendars in order to design objects for the families, which will then be sent over the Internet to the 3D printers. During the workshop, participants will discuss, evaluate and create new design concepts in light of the diaries families are asked to maintain about their experiences with these unusual material artifacts.

Results and Impact This event was co-organized between Michael Huth (Imperial College London) and Edward Griffor (US National Institute of Standards and Technology) on 11December 2017 in London, UK. This event had two aims: to report on research undertaken toward a Calculus for Logical Optimization of Trustworthiness and other Aspects of Cyber Physical Systems, and to solicit feedback and identify collaboration opportunities for research in that space. The event reviewed the US NIST Framework for Cyber Physical Systems, especially how it supports the Trustworthiness Concern in the Design, Implementation, and Validation of Cyber Physical Systems. The event also presented how Ontologies and their Reasoning Capabilities can support such engineering activities through analyses can explore multiple concerns and their relationships both qualitatively and quantitatively, for example through the use of parameters or probabilities to inform risk management. A broad set of stake holders was in attendance, e.g. people from IBM, Intel, UK Government Agencies, and PETRAS academics.

Primary Audience Public/other audiences
Results and Impact This was a panel I organized in the conference 'Sociality, matter, and the imagination: re-creating Anthropology,' organized by the Association of Social Anthropologists (ASA) at Oxford, 18-21 September 2018.
The panel explored the spectacular increase of ubiquitous computing and data-driven systems and algorithms that is placing an unprecedented pressure on human society. As well as technological innovation, emerging 'start-up cultures' push for unexpected transformations in the way we live. The panel interrogated ways in which social scientists, computer scientists and designers of new technologies can work together to create engaged responses to recent and future computing innovations. The panel explored two main themes. The first theme is represented by the epistemological nature of research in each of these disciplines. For example, while anthropology knows how to study in depth the social consequences of technology, we now have the opportunity to develop equally rich understandings of the processes and contexts of technology development. The second theme explored the ways in which social scientists have to balance the a posteriori nature of ethnographic fieldwork with the a priori, pragmatic, and constrained nature of innovation that is currently reserved to disciplines such as human-computer interaction, behavioral sciences, or user experience design.

"Education systems globally are waking up to the step changes they will have to make if everyone, young and old, is to thrive in our increasingly digital, complex and rapidly changing world."
Hannon, V. et al 2019

Educational systems around the world, particularly language teaching systems, have been immersed in new ecosystems that have generated drastic changes in the ways of teaching and learning foreign languages. This metamorphosis is causing students and teachers, young and old, to make unavoidable adjustments in the execution of their roles, either as teachers or learners, in order to prosper in our new educational world: digitized, digitalized, complex and dynamic.

Shaping the future
Data-driven Engineering, Innovation and Entrepreneurship




Hosted by The University of Edinburgh's School of Engineering and the Institute for the Study of Science, Technology and Innovation (ISSTI)

ICE IEEE/ITMC is the International Conference on Engineering, Technology, and Innovation, part of the IEEE Technology and Engineering Management Society (TEMS). It developed from an early focus on the engineering method of concurrent engineering to the general organisation of the engineering process and its organization within the corporation and in networks. The ICE conference, therefore, discusses systems engineering as a socio-technical task focusing on the design of products and services, and the entrepreneurial innovation process for its adoption in society and the economy.

NITIM is an international graduate school for research on Networks, Information Technology and Innovation Management. Network members include PhD candidates, alumni, faculty and industry partners in over 10 countries around the world, representing over 20 nationalities. NITIM network members convene physically at bi-annual PhD consortia to support young scholars and connect network members. Members and partners also meet at more regular intervals, at regional learning circles and career development events. To find information on upcoming NITIM events, kindly visit our news and events page.

In line with Edinburgh's strategic vision, the ICE 2023 Conference and the NITIM 2023 Doctoral School will have a specific focus on data-driven engineering, innovation and entrepreneurship.

Results and Impact The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of connected devices with inputs and outputs operating in, and on, the physical world. The network is simultaneously fed by, and feeds into, data streams flowing across digital-physical boundaries, connecting sensors, servers, actuators, devices, and people. 'Things' of all types, lightbulbs, doorbells, kettles and cars, discretely-but-visibly do their jobs. Meanwhile in the unseen digital domain, where data swirls imperceptible to humans, the atmosphere is thick with the rapidly-moving data packets and content that constitute inter-machine chatter. Contrasting the visible calm in the physical world with obscured bedlam in the digital otherworld sets the scene for the argument I will discuss in this talk of moving towards a more than human centred approach to the design of the IoT. In order to illustrate this in practice I will use speculative design to illustrate that by applying Object Orientated Ontology, IoT designers may reimagine data, devices, and users, as equally significant actants within constellations with the aim of producing IoT objects and services that are more transparent as to the values of their creators.
