February – Smart Society Project

Innovation in the Sharing Economy

P. Andreadis — Tue, 07 Feb 2017 23:04:17 +0000

We are organising an event in Berlin, Germany, on the 15th of February, bringing together innovators, business angels, business developers, major industries, venture capitalists and technologists all looking forward to the next market to be disrupted thanks to a sharing economy approach.

Join us to discover how deep tech can enable new innovations in the sharing economy.

“Innovation in the Sharing Economy” is supported under the Future & Emerging Technologies Programme and hosted by EIT Digital. To learn more about the event and register your attendance please visit our Eventbrite page. You can also find details on the agenda and venue below.

Imaginary’s February 2015 Newsletter

P. Andreadis — Wed, 25 Feb 2015 14:08:30 +0000

Imaginary, our industry partner in charge of Work Package 9 (Proof of Concept and Validation), has released its February 2015 Newsletter. This issue mentions SmartSociety’s new ride-sharing app, which has been developed for use in a study on incentivizing users through gamification, as well as for the testing of human-centric matching algorithms.

For more information on this, as well as Imaginary’s recent and upcoming events, including their participation in CeBIT 2015 (Hannover, 16-20 March), please click here.

A formal Account of the Open Provenance Model

P. Andreadis — Sun, 22 Feb 2015 17:27:38 +0000

Abstract: On the Web, where resources such as documents and data are published, shared, transformed, and republished, provenance is a crucial piece of metadata that would allow users to place their trust in the resources they access. The Open Provenance Model (OPM) is a community data model for provenance that is designed to facilitate the meaningful interchange of provenance information between systems. Underpinning OPM is a notion of directed graph, where nodes represent data products and processes involved in past computations, and edges represent dependencies between them; it is complemented by graphical inference rules allowing new dependencies to be derived. Until now, however, the OPM model was a purely syntactical endeavor. The present paper extends OPM graphs with an explicit distinction between precise and imprecise edges. Then a formal semantics for the thus enriched OPM graphs is proposed, by viewing OPM graphs as temporal theories on the temporal events represented in the graph. The original OPM inference rules are scrutinized in view of the semantics and found to be sound but incomplete. An extended set of graphical rules is provided and proved to be complete for inference. The paper concludes with applications of the formal semantics to inferencing in OPM graphs, operators on OPM graphs, and a formal notion of refinement among OPM graphs.
