Generative Systems Art: the Work of Ernest Edmonds
No full textIn this book, the author explores the history of pioneering computer art and its contribution to art history by way of examining Ernest Edmonds’ art from the late 1960s to the present day. Edmonds’ inventions of new concepts, tools and forms of art, along with his close involvement with the communities of computer artists, Systems artists and computer technologists, provide the context for discussion of the origins and implications of the relationship between art and technology. Drawing on interviews with Edmonds and primary research in archives of his work, the book offers a new contribution to the history of the development of digital art and places Edmonds’ work in the context of contemporary art history
AI-powered Infrastructures for Intelligence and Automation in Beyond-5G Systems
No full textIn this paper, a vision for beyond-5G systems is proposed where automation, intelligence and data privacy in cloudnative infrastructures are in focus. Exploiting the convergence of cloud technologies at the edge and mobile communication networks, a set of architectural and technological solutions is discussed that will play a fundamental role on the path from 5G towards future sixth-generation systems. Currently, a strong need is felt in the telecommunication world for greater automation to meet the extreme requirements expected for future 6G applications. In this regard, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is gaining high momentum as one of the central enabling technologies for beyond-5G networks. Reinforcement Learning (RL) and Federated Learning (FL) are here proposed as technologies to enhance network automation and enable privacy-aware applications. Blockchain is proposed as a solution for non-repudiation and trustworthiness in the AI pipelines. These technologies are brought together in a comprehensive cloud-native architectural vision to fill the gap between current 5G systems and AI-powered secure systems of the future

Long term modeling of the links between economics, technical progress and environment: Evolution of approaches and new trends
No full textThis paper examines the evolution of modeling on greenhouse as emissions. The paper briefly highlights the origins and early efforts to model greenhouse gas emissions, efforts subsequent to 1988, and the shape of the next generation of greenhouse gas emissions models. Particular emphasis is placed on the author`s own contributions, including the Edmonds-Reilly Model and the second generation model
Collaboration and Community: Foreword
No full textThis special issue focuses on collaboration and community to celebrate Colin’s passion and participation in the field of digital creativity and other communities, and his spirit of collaboration across disciplines and borders.
Jo Briggs opens the issue by case studies of community-engaged digital production in a particular socio-political context in Northern Ireland. He maps the forms and results of collaboration between artists, academics, funding bodies, other stakeholders and the local community. With healthy scepticism on the actual impact of the digital heritage and storytelling production for communities’ cohesion, Briggs’ investigation of situated cultural practices creates a larger context of the cultures and politics of collaboration, through which we hope that the readers of this issue examine also all the other articles.
The next three articles study digitally enhanced and/or mediated urban environment as a platform for community and collaboration. After a captivatingly described investigation of public park activities in Asia, Liselott Brunnberg and Alberto Frigo introduce the funfair design metaphor for placemaking by mobile devices in urban environ- ments. Yutaro Ohashi, Pihla Meskanen et al. report a study of children’s collective media production on the city of Helsinki. The artists’ statement by Andy Best-Dunkley and Merja Puustinen questions the power politics of urban architecture. After art historical and socio-political contextualisation of their participatory media art work RE/ F/r.ACE under development, they return to the same essentials of collaboration and community than Briggs: digital technology itself has very little to do with social cohesion/alienation, while ‘the answer is rather embedded into the long tradition of humanism: appreciation of social communities and relationships, and recognising the unique sense of subjectivity in the Other—in strangers and ourselves’. The final technical article by Pujan Ziaie and Helmut Krcmar investigates how this appreciation may be communicated in a design framework for online community reputation systems
An OCCI-compliant framework for fine-grained resource-aware management in mobile cloud networking
No full textIn the last years we have experienced a growing industrial interest in Mobile Cloud Networking (MCN) as the opportunity to exploit the cloud computing paradigm through Network Function Virtualization (NFV), primarily with the goal to reduce CAPEX/OPEX for future mobile networks deployment and operation. The gain from the point of view of infrastructure costs reduction is almost clear and recognized, while many technical challenges are still to be solved, especially with industry-mature solutions, due to the complexity of managing such type of infrastructures. In particular, the dynamicity and flexibility introduced by the virtualization of network functions add novel requirements on the service management and orchestration layers. In this perspective, this paper originally presents the architecture and primary implementation guidelines of the Mobile Cloud Networking framework developed within a large EU FP7 project. More specifically, it focuses on the innovative technical elements of our solution for service management and orchestration, namely i) orchestration strategies based on resource unit affinity and ii) compliance with emerging Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI) standards. To practically demonstrate the suitability of the proposed approach, a specific real use case has been implemented, i.e., the cloudification of the 3GPP IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), by reporting and analyzing the related performance results
Efficient exploitation of mobile edge computing for virtualized 5G in EPC architectures
No full textTo pave the way towards disclosing the full potential of 5G networking, emerging Mobile Edge Computing techniques are gaining momentum in both academic and industrial research as a means to enhance infrastructure scalability and reliability by moving control functions close to the edge of the network. After the promising results under achievement within the EU Mobile Cloud Networking project, we claim the suitability of deploying Evolved Packet Core (EPC) support solutions as a Service (EPCaaS) over a uniform edge cloud infrastructure of Edge Nodes, by following the concepts of Network Function Virtualization (NFV). This paper originally focuses on the support needed for efficient elasticity provisioning of EPCaaS stateful components, by proposing novel solutions for effective subscribers' state management in quality-constrained 5G scenarios. In particular, to favor flexibility and high-availability against network function failures, we have developed a state sharing mechanism across different data centers even in presence of firewall/network encapsulation. In addition, our solution can dynamically select which state portions should be shared and to which Edge Nodes. The reported experimental results, measured over the widely recognized Open5GCore testbed, demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the approach, as well as its capability to satisfy «carrier-grade» quality requirements while ensuring good elasticity and scalability
Oh the places we went! : creating and teaching Dr. Seuss : then and now! : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)
No full textFor my Honors thesis project I chose to create and teach an honors colloquium, Dr. Seuss: Then and Now! under the direction of Dr. Tony Edmonds, professor of history. As a social studies education and history major I was grateful to have the opportunity to gain some teaching experience while also broadening my content knowledge. The course focused on the life and works of Theodor Geisel (better known as "Dr. Seuss") as well as his continuing legacy as a children's author and illustrator. It was offered during the fall 2008 semester, during which time fifteen students from a wide variety of majors participated in the class. The intention of this course was to help students better understand the significance of Geisel's works and to develop a greater appreciation for them. In preparing and teaching this course, Claire learned valuable strategies and skills that helped her to become a more effective as well as more knowledgeable teacher.Thesis (B.?.)Honors Colleg
