On TODO list.

- 21. Ultimate challenge: industrialization First public presentation of “UBICITY” by Jan von Oort is tomorrow! (11:20-11:40 - during coffee break) hint: http://xkcd.com/1110/
- 22. 1. The ideas presented today were developed and partially realized as Mobile Data Acquisition System (MDAF) in the scope of the European Community's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under Grant Agreement Number 284898 (ENVIROFI) 2. The importance of microlearning really became clear to me very recently, thanks to Dr. Christian Voigt and the microlearning 7.0 conference. 3.

Notas del editor
- Two out of three ENVIROFI scenarios are strongly biased towards citizen scientists, mobile crowdsourcing and crowdtasking and local situation awareness.
- In some senses, humans are „bad sensors“. They are non-standardized, difficult to calibrate, don‘t like the idea of working 24/7, easily bored and their accuracy and sensitivity erratically varies over time. However, they also excell at pattern recognition and interpretation of the results. This makes them complementary to hardware sensors and very valuable for some types of applications.
- Unlike standard monitoring systems, the human sensors (and to a lesser extent also information from user-owned sensors) inevitably deliver conflicting and incomplete information. The Quality assurance of such data often relies on combination of peer review, expert opinions and various indicators. In MDAF, all these results can happily co-exist even if they are contradicting each other. The decision „what is the reality?“ is only made at the level of „application specific view“, taking into account the owners interests and trust in various data sources. As a result, it is perfectly possible to generate several conflicting „realities“ from the same data set. E.g. a Greanpeace applicaiton will show different reality than a fisherman association applicaiton simply because they make different assumprions concerning the relative importance and trustworthiness of the data. The „applicaiton specific view“ has not been fully implemented, but the technology is the same as the one used for the quality assurance part.
- The architecture shown here goes beyond the ENVIROFI pilots and indicates our ideas what woudl be possible to do with FI-Ware GEs in the future.
- This demo has been developed within the project scope and brought to working PoC status. We are confident that the concept will work well when we start making „real“ applicaitons. In fact, we (AIT) are using this in CRISMA project now, so the number of available widgets and our know-how steadily rises…
- Tasking of volunteers and experts is a key to data collection and quality assurance. It is crucial to task the users which are both able and willing to perform this task, while avoiding the information overflow. In ENVIROFI, AIT was able to develop a concept and basic technology which will allow us to implement the context- and profile- specific tasking in the future projects.
- I‘m not sure which is the license for the slides which I „inherited“ here, sorry. I‘m sure that *I* can use them, and I presume the right to re-use them will be granted to anyone who asks. Please contact the respective consortium leaders.
