All JRA Session

1. All JRA Session KaveSalamatian (UoS) and Clare Hooper (IT Innovation, JRA2)

2. Comments • JRA1 and 2 should converge with other JRAs and the Internet Science methodologies used • map theory and models into concrete application studies like in JRAs 4,5,6,7,8. • Comprehensive analysis of the role of virtual communities and internet governance in the definition of participatory innovation, common production and new mechanisms for value creation that are exploiting the network effect of Internet • JRA2 should define the relevance of research questions from a policy perspective Interdisciplinarity in Internet Science

3. Comments • JRA1/JRA6/JRA7: Competition-awareness: shaping collective awareness and congestion / crowd management, in the presence of autonomous, human-biased decision makers • JRA1/JRA6: Human behaviour in ICT-mediated communications • JRA1/JRA7: Node centrality heuristics and associated vulnerability of Internet graphs • JRA1/JRA4: The right to the hybrid city • JRA1/JRA5: Do we need Internet Science as a new field? Interdisciplinarity in Internet Science

4. JRA1 tasks • An economics’ theory for information networks • Understanding the structure and the evolution of communication network topologies • Fundamental basis of large-scale autonomous and dynamic information networks • Collective network intelligence WP1

5. Decision Making and the Internet Workshop • Main scientific topics • Interdisciplinary analysis of decisions made on or over the Internet • How to decide in high-speed environments in which people are exposed to complex floods • Needs the formalisms of different disciplines (esp. economics, psychology, sociology • Cognitive framing • target for manipulation or surveillance. • The Internet as a shared (among disciplines) object of scientific enquiry and the implications for scientific and analytic decision making • Blind men and elephants or discipline-centredmodels metaphors (e.g. complex adaptive systems, epidemiological or ecological models, agent-based methods) • Applied sciences (e.g. medicine) vs pure sciences • Deciding when and how to pursue interdisciplinarity: does the interactive, shared and ‘unstovepiped’ nature of the Internet itself force a particular form of interdisciplinarity (e.g. like Systems Biology)? • Interrelation through the notion of design   • The workshop will be held in Oxford University on 22-24 september , • co-organized by Tamas David-Barrett (OXF), Panayotis Antoniadis (ETH), Jonathan Cave (UW), and Frances Griffiths (UW). WP1

6. Links with other activities • Links with other JRAs • JRA2 –participation in JRA2 workshop • JRA3 – needs stronger links • JRA4 – Regulation of Inter-domain routing • JRA5 – Economics of privacy, privacy preservation techniques • JRA6 – Community detection • JRA7 – Relation with Task 1, 2 and 3 WP1

7. Methods, methodologies, use cases • We are seeking the above! • Case studies are very welcome • JRA5 and 6? • JRA8? Re: energy distribution and social media to alter perceptions and behaviour… (C) 2014 University of Southampton IT Innovation Centre and other EINS partners

8. Recommendations to standard bodies • Assessment of the role of standardization in Internet Science • Foster translation of research results into emerging technologies • Gap analysis • what could be standardized out of Internet science results (not currently covered by these bodies) • which current (and/or foreseeable) activities of these standardization bodies could be “influenced” by Internet science activities • First version focused on technical standards (C) 2014 A-LBell and other EINS partners

9. Technical gaps & challenges • Could Internet science lead to "third architectural path" instead of those inspired from theory of utility and theory of component change ? • Social (more generally human science) dimension is often absent of technology standardization (should it be ?) • Economy often limited to cost/revenues, resource optimization, operation, of the infrastructure (wide-sense) • EINS perspective on net-neutrality, privacy, anonymity, etc ? • Technical standards keeps focus on electrical/electronic and computer systems ... what about hybrid systems such as • Nano-scale systems (e.g. programmable bio-chemical systems, neural nets, etc.) • Brain-related ICT ? • Extension of man-machine interface to e.g. brain-computer interface and intrinsic properties of the communication medium e.g., bio-chemical substrate • Etc. (C) 2014 A-LBell and other EINS partners

10. In search of standardisation inputs • Do you have… • Documents we can look at, • Topics we should address, • Pointers to relevant standards / regulatory bodies, or • Suggestions for our key audience? • Volunteers sought to review our text Remember: the last reknown universalist is H.Poincare (1854-1912) (C) 2014 A-LBell and other EINS partners

11. Re-Thinking Architecturally • A JRA2 workshop on design, architecture • 22 to 26 September • Tiree, Scotland (a beautiful, remote island… with an airport!) • We invite one representative of each JRA • Working to balance diversity of disciplines! • Expressions of interest are invited to cjh@it-innovation.soton.ac.uk by 4 July • Accommodation and full board provided; you just need to arrange your own travel (C) 2014 University of Southampton IT Innovation Centre and other EINS partners

12. Re-Thinking Architecturally (2) • Broaden thinking, bring fresh concepts and methods, identify implications • Unconference-style open sessions, goals: • Explore architecture and design from multi-disciplinary perspectives • Connect methods, methodologies, exemplars • Debate architectural properties of the future internet • Identify best practices • Next steps: case studies, teaching, workshops, papers (C) 2014 University of Southampton IT Innovation Centre and other EINS partners
