Shaping Choices in the Digital World

These range from social networks to cutting-edge connected objects. They are now a fully-fledged part of our aesthetic relationship with the world, on a par with architecture or decorative art. A certain widely distributed and highly standardised aesthetic of digital media has been created, producing strong brands in users’ minds. Users are barely aware of this aesthetic, which is well thought out. Conditioning through design pre-empts everything that the individual handles or sees in the digital world. In the wake of Bauhaus, where design is based on the search for functional aesthetics, digital technology has become a relevant field of application in EDITORIAL problem-solving. For, beyond the desire to avoid ugliness that “does not sell”, to quote Raymond Loewy, the digital promise is so broad that the functions provided by design seem endless, giving the key players that own them the expectation of a substantial return on investment. Web giants have understood this by competing to attract users, customising their experience, influencing – as subtly and as substantially as possible – their behaviour, in all fields, from leisure to politics. -

Page 1 INFOSEC UPDATE 2006 -- June 19-20, 2006 01 Introduction Category 01 Introduction 2006-06-12 Introduction M. E. Kabay, PhD, CISSP WELCOME Welcome to the 2005 edition of the Information Security Year in Review (IYIR) project. In 1993 and 1994, I was an adjunct professor in the Institute for Government Informatics Professionals in Ottawa, Canada under the aegis of the University of Ottawa. I taught a one-semester course introducting information security to government personnel and enjoyed the experience immensely. Many of the chapters of my 1996 textbook, _The NCSA Guide to Enterprise Security_ published by McGraw-Hill were field-tested by my students. In 1995, I was asked if I could run a seminar for graduates of my courses to bring them up to date on developments across the entire field of information security. Our course had twenty students and I so enjoyed it that I continued to develop the material and teach the course with the NCSA (National Computer Security Association; later called ICSA and then eventually renamed TruSecure Corporation and finally CyberTrust, its current name) all over the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and the Caribbean. After a few years of working on this project, it became obvious that saving abstracts in a WordPerfect file was not going to cut it as an orderly method for organizing the increasing mass of information that I was encountering in my research. -

Firefox es una de las aplicaciones gratuitas que se pueden utilizar para navegar en Internet. Seguramente el lector utilice Internet Explorer que es el navegador más conocido y utilizado, pero no el mejor. Basado en Mozilla, el proyecto Firefox nació, a finales de 2002, orientado a usuarios no técnicos. Fue pasando por diversos nombres (Phoenix, Firebird) hasta tomar la denominación actual. Cabe destacar que se trata de un proyecto ‘Open Source’ (Código Abierto), lo que supone que cualquier desarrollador puede modificar el código para mejorarlo.

Open Design Platforms for Open Source Product
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENGINEERING DESIGN, ICED15 27-30 JULY 2015, POLITECNICO DI MILANO, ITALY OPEN DESIGN PLATFORMS FOR OPEN SOURCE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT: CURRENT STATE AND REQUIREMENTS Bonvoisin, Jérémy (1); Boujut, Jean-François (2) 1: Technische Universität Berlin, Germany; 2: University Grenoble Alpes, France Abstract The spread of ICT and cheap low-size production tools like 3D-printers led to the development of open design, i.e. community-based and open source development of physical products. This innovative organization of product development offers a great opportunity for continuous improvement of products as well as formidable a potential for product innovation and incubation of new businesses. However, because of a limited availability of supporting methods and tools, open design projects are still unable to compete with today’s standards of industrial product design. The present article aims at providing a state of the art of existing online tools for open source product development and discusses their limitation regarding the challenges raised by what is identified as an emerging design paradigm. This is performed through the definition of an analysis grid through which existing tools have been scanned as well as a case study. It claims for further empirical research in order to describe the phenomenon from a design science perspective, to define appropriate categories and develop new specific online product data management tools. Keywords: Open Source Design, Information management, Design methodology Contact: Dr. Jérémy Bonvoisin TU Berlin Institute for Machine-tools and Factory Planning - Department Industrial Information Technology Germany [email protected] Please cite this paper as: Surnames, Initials: Title of paper. -

The Politics of the Commons: Reform Or Revolt?
tripleC 15(2): 563-581, 2017 http://www.triple-c.at The Politics of the Commons: Reform or Revolt? Vangelis Papadimitropoulos University of Crete, Greece, [email protected] Abstract: In this paper I present a critical overview of the contemporary political theories of the Commons, classified in three main categories: 1) the liberal 2) the reformist and 3) the anti-capitalist. Advocates of the liberal theory of the Commons take a stand in favour of the coexistence of the Commons with the state and the market. The reformists argue for the gradual adjustment of capitalism to the Commons with the aid of a partner state, while the anti-capitalists contrast both the liberals and the reformists by supporting the development of the commons against and beyond capitalism. I make the case that both the liberal and the anti-capitalist theorists miss the likelihood of technology rendering redundant large-scale production in the future, and forcing thus capitalism to adjust to the Commons in the long run. The prospect, therefore, of an open cooperativism, introduced by the reformist theory, holds significant potential with respect to the future development of the Commons. For the Commons to expand and flourish, however, a global institutional reform, based on a number of trans-local and transnational principles, is sine qua non. Hence, transparency of information, distribution of value, solidarity and bottom-up self-management are the core variables of individual and collective autonomy inasmuch as they permit a community or group to formulate its values in relation to the needs and skills of its members. -

THE HOMEBREW INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION by Kevin A
THE HOMEBREW INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION By Kevin A. Carson Center for a Stateless Society Paper No. 5 (September 2009) Neighborhood and Backyard Industry A recurring theme among early writers on decentralized production was the community workshop, and its use in particular for repair and recycling. Even in the 1970s, when the price of the smallest machine tools was much higher in real terms, it was feasible by means of cooperative organization to spread the capital outlay cost over a large pool of users. Kirkpatrick Sale speculated that neighborhood recycling and repair centers would put back into service the almost endless supply of defunct appliances currently sitting in closets or basements; as well as serving as "remanufacturing centers" for (say) diesel engines and refrigerators.1 Writing along similar lines, Colin Ward suggested “the pooling of equipment in a neighborhood group.” Suppose that each member of the group had a powerful and robust basic tool, while the group as a whole had, for example, a bench drill, lathes and a saw bench to relieve the members from the attempt to cope with work which required these machines with inadequate tools of their own, or wasting their resources on under- used individually-owned plant. This in turn demands some kind of building to house the machinery: the Community Workshop. But is the Community Workshop idea nothing more than an aspect of the leisure industry, a compensation for the tedium of work?2 In other words, is it just a “hobby”? Ward argued, to the contrary, that it would bridge the growing gap between the worlds of work and leisure by making productive activity in one's free time a source of real use-value.
