Tracking Innovation through Grey Literature

Fourteenth International Conference on Grey Literature

Innovation is a process manifested in and through grey literature. Both have their origins in knowledge generation and both demonstrate value for government, academics, business and industry through their uses and applications. In a way, innovation and grey literature are two sides of the same coinage. Innovation is the catalyst for positive change and grey literature is the measure of benchmarks in the further process of research and development. The goal of the Fourteenth International Conference on Grey Literature seeks to track the process of innovation by tracing the research life cycle and observing its convergence in the field of grey literature.

Complexity, Networks and Internet Regulation

Seminar of the ANR project on distributed architectures

Why is the Internet so difficult to regulate? In large part, its complexity and size have proved challenging, but there seems to be a lot of ignorance about how it really works. Large interconnected systems such as the Internet display a number of inherent architectural characteristics deeming them well-suited to the study of complex dynamic networks. The starting point of this talk is that it is perfectly possible to use various network science-based tools to explore the contentious issue of Internet regulation. Specifically, the Internet as a dynamic distributed system requires new challenges that rely on that same distributed nature in order to tackle them.

Web and Philosophy: why and what for?

PhiloWeb 2012

The advent of the Web is one of the defining technological events of the twentieth-first century, yet its impact on the fundamental questions of philosophy has not yet been widely explored, much less systematized. We hope to provoke the properly philosophical question of whether there is a consistent new branch or practice of philosophy that can weave these changes to technology and society into a coherent whole and have a real social impact.

Creative technologies

"As pessoas querem expressar-se, querem ser ouvidas, querem participar na criação da sua envolvente." Desde o início da humanidade temos desenvolvido tecnologias criativas, ferramentas que suportam a nossa expressão, como as tintas, as ferramentas de esculpir, objetos sonoros. As tecnologias criativas foram sempre a base da expressividade humana; para suportar a realização pessoal; para aumentar a autoestima; para aumentar os laços comunitários; para criar sociedades melhores. Quanto mais nos expressamos, mais nos sentimos vivos.
