sarthak-chakraborty/CausIL: v1
No full textCausIL is an approach to estimate the causal graph for a cloud microservice system, where the nodes are the service-specific metrics while edges indicate causal dependency among the metrics. The approach considers metric variations for all the instances deployed in the system to build the causal graph and can account for auto-scaling decisions

Potentialities and affordances of grassroots civic tech platforms as effective anti-corruption tools: Decoding the story of I Paid A Bribe, India
No full textThis chapter seeks to contribute to research on anti-corruption technologies by delving into
Janaagraha’s I Paid A Bribe tech platform; and, more specifically, by investigating
the role accorded to technology to enhance civic participation for the fight
against corruption. In doing so, the chapter also contributes to corruption and
anti-corruption research in a twofold manner: on the one hand by understanding
the contribution of civil society organisations (CSOs) and their tech platforms
to anti-corruption debates; on the other hand, by extending the growing vocab-
ulary around civic tech to the study of anti-corruption tools and practices. The
rest of the chapter is designed as follows: the next section gives an overview of
corruption and civil society that provides the context in which IPAB operates.
After that, I present the research design, outlining the data gathering process
and data analysis method, and discuss the analytical framework of affordances,
the most recurring theme derived from data analysis. To gain a comprehensive
perspective on the issue, I focus on the following aspects: presenting the
tech platform as designed by the developers; discussing the different types
of affordances of the platform: those that the designers intended and one that
users imagined; and, outlining the outcomes and challenges of IPAB, leading
to its initial rapid growth and eventual suspension. A final section provides
concluding remarks.

Why science centres? An appraisal of the rhetoric and activities of the National Council of Science Museums, India
No full textWith the emergence of nationalism in the period of decolonisation after the Second World War, museums came to be recognised as powerful tools for radical socio-economic transformation (Ghose 1992; Venugopal 1995). The first two science museums in India came up, around 1953, in Pilani (in the Indian state of Rajasthan) and New Delhi, soon after the independence. In the former case,it was the initiative of the Birla Institute of Technology and Science to open a central museum on campus, and in the latter, it was the effort of the National Physical Laboratory to house a museum.1The first governmental attempt at defining India’s scientific heritage and to promote science education was the establishment of Birla Industrial and Technological Museum (BITM hereafter) in Calcutta in 1959, in the decade following India’s independence. As Saroj Ghose, erstwhile director of the National Council of Science Museums (NCSM) and president of the International Council of Museums (ICOM), explained in a personal interview, the need was felt by the central and state governments, and especially by the then Chief Minister of West Bengal, Dr Bidhan Chandra Roy, to preserve artefacts of historical significance in the newly formed state with diverse people. He was to a great degree influenced by the set-up at the Deutsches Museum which he personally visited and from this institution, he drew inspiration to form a similar one in India
Sensemaking of digital money among female peripheral agents: a short ethnographic study of informal workers in North India.
No full textThis essay compares how digital money is conceptualized by the government with sense-making and practices among women workers in North India. The government promotes and envisions a future with large sections of the population within the fold of ‘Digital India’. The policy rhetoric emphasizes capacity building, both in terms of improving infrastructure and training people to be able to use cashless modes of payments. However, in its positive narrative, the inclusion of women is mentioned only in passing, thereby rendering them peripheral in the government’s vision of a digital economy. Further, through focus group discussions and interviews carried out with women working at the intersection of formal and informal economy, the analysis establishes that our respondents are peripheral agents because of the economic and social structures which constrain them from formal and effective access to digital money
