Sebastian Jürg Göndör geb. in Duisburg von der Fakultät IV – Elektrotechnik und Informatik der Technischen Universität Berlin zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doktor der Ingenieurwissenschaften - Dr.-Ing. - genehmigte Dissertation Promotionsausschuss: Vorsitzender: Prof. Dr. Thomas Magedanz Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Axel Küpper Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Ulrik Schroeder Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Maurizio Marchese Tag der wissenschaftlichen Aussprache: 6. Juni 2018 Berlin 2018 iii A Bill of Rights for Users of the Social Web Authored by Joseph Smarr, Marc Canter, Robert Scoble, and Michael Arrington1 September 4, 2007 Preamble: There are already many who support the ideas laid out in this Bill of Rights, but we are actively seeking to grow the roster of those publicly backing the principles and approaches it outlines. That said, this Bill of Rights is not a document “carved in stone” (or written on paper). It is a blog post, and it is intended to spur conversation and debate, which will naturally lead to tweaks of the language. So, let’s get the dialogue going and get as many of the major stakeholders on board as we can! A Bill of Rights for Users of the Social Web We publicly assert that all users of the social web are entitled to certain fundamental rights, specifically: Ownership of their own personal information, including: • their own profile data • the list of people they are connected to • the activity stream of content they create; • Control of whether and how such personal information is shared with others; and • Freedom to grant persistent access to their personal information to trusted external sites.

Um dies möglichst effektiv umsetzen zu können, wurde eine Onlinebefragung für Studierende und Beschäftigte der Hochschule Düsseldorf durchgeführt. Diese liefen in zeitlichem Abstand zueinander jeweils 4 Wochen lang. Im Folgenden wird zuerst das methodische Vorgehen zur Befragung kurz erläutert, bevor die Ergeb- nisse vorgestellt werden. Alle Ergebnisse können den Datei-Anhängen „Auswertung_Studie- rende.xlsx“ und „Auswertung_Beschäftigte.xlsx“ entnommen werden. 4 Auswertung Social-Media-Umfrage 2 Methode Damit möglichst viele Studierende aus allen Fachbereichen und die Beschäftigten der Hochschule, unabhängig vom Standort, an der Erhebung teilnehmen konnten, wurde die Befragung als reine On- linebefragung durchgeführt. Aufgrund der Ähnlichkeit in Bezug auf die avisierten Zielgruppen, sowie der inhaltlichen Fragestellung wurde die Befragung in Kooperation mit der Campus IT, dem Daten- schutzbeauftragten und dem Fachbereich Sozial- und Kulturwissenschaften realisiert. Der Fragebogen wurde mithilfe der Software Unipark umgesetzt und über den entsprechenden Uni- park-Server für mehrere Wochen zur Beantwortung verfügbar gehalten. Der Umfang des Fragebo- gens wurde dabei so gewählt, dass eine Bearbeitungsdauer von 10 bis 15 Minuten – inklusive Brie- fing und Debriefing – nicht überschritten wurde. Zur Gewinnung von Teilnehmenden wurden diese über diverse Kanäle angesprochen. Auf der Start- seite des Internetauftritts der HSD wurde beispielsweise eine Meldung von der Pressestelle einge- stellt.

  • Probabilistic Forecasting in Decision-Making: New Methods and Applications
    Probabilistic Forecasting in Decision-Making: New Methods and Applications Xiaojia Guo A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of University College London. UCL School of Management University College London November 10, 2020 2 I, Xiaojia Guo, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indi- cated in the work. 3 To my family for their invaluable support throughout the years. Abstract This thesis develops new methods to generate probabilistic forecasts and applies these methods to solve operations problems in practice. The first chapter introduces a new product life cycle model, the tilted-Gompertz model, which can predict the distribution of period sales and cumulative sales over a product’s life cycle. The tilted-Gompertz model is developed by exponential tilting the Gompertz model, which has been widely applied in modelling human mortality. Due to the tilting parameter, this new model is flexible and capable of describing a wider range of shapes compared to existing life cycle models. In two empirical studies, one on the adoption of new products and the other on search interest in social networking websites, I find that the tilted-Gompertz model performs well on quantile forecast- ing and point forecasting, when compared to other leading life-cycle models. In the second chapter, I develop a new exponential smoothing model that can cap- ture life-cycle trends. This new exponential smoothing model can also be viewed as a tilted-Gompertz model with time-varying parameters.

  • Social Media and the ISIS Narrative Daniel Cunningham, MA Sean F
    Social Media and the ISIS Narrative Daniel Cunningham, MA Sean F. Everton, PhD Robert Schroeder, MA Department of Defense Analysis Naval Postgraduate School Monterey, CA 93943 March 20, 2015 Abstract The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has attracted the world’s attention and much of its wrath, primarily because of its rapid expansion in Iraq and Syria, its brutal treatment of religious minorities (e.g., Yazidis, Christians), and its beheadings of hostages from Western countries. At this point, it is unclear whether the group represents a global or a sectarian form of jihadism. Is it similar to al-Qaeda, which seeks to target the far enemy (i.e., Western countries such as the U.S. that some in the Muslim world believe exert a corrupting influence on Islamic countries), or is it more sectarian in that it focuses on targeting what it perceives to be the near enemies of Islam (i.e., “corrupt” Islamic nations)? In this paper we address this debate by examining ISIS’s online presence on the social media platform, Twitter, which serves as a forum for supporters to post and receive messages, images, videos, and links to websites to and from a wide-audience. The speed at which users can transmit and receive information via Twitter suggests that an analysis of ISIS-related user accounts and the key themes and concepts they disseminate can contribute to a better understanding of the group’s overall narrative. We examine ISIS’s online presence by extracting from Twitter the semantic networks of its most influential users. We find that a shift may be occurring in the ISIS narrative, from one that focuses on the near enemy to one that focuses on the far enemy.

  • Sept Thèses Sur La Fediverse Et Le Devenir Du Logiciel Libre Par Aymeric Mansoux Et Roel Roscam Abbing
    Sept Thèses sur la Fediverse et le devenir du logiciel libre par Aymeric Mansoux et Roel Roscam Abbing Framalang met à votre disposition la traduction de l’ouvrage en anglais Seven Theses on the Fediverse and the becoming of FLOSS Licence Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International. Traduction Framalang : Claire, dodosan, goofy, jums, Macrico, Mannik, mo, roptat, tykayn, wisi_eu À la rencontre de la Fédiverse Ces dernières années, dans un contexte de critiques constantes et de lassitude généralisée associées aux plates-formes de médias sociaux commerciaux 1, le désir de construire des alternatives s’est renforcé. Cela s’est traduit par une grande variété de projets animés par divers objectifs. Les projets en question ont mis en avant leurs différences avec les médias sociaux des grandes plates-formes, que ce soit par leur éthique, leur structure, les technologies qui les sous-tendent, leurs fonctionnalités, l’accès au code source ou encore les communautés construites autour d’intérêts spécifiques qu’ils cherchent à soutenir. Bien que diverses, ces plates-formes tendent vers un objectif commun : remettre clairement en question l’asservissement à une plate-forme unique dans le paysage des médias sociaux dominants. Par conséquent, ces projets nécessitent différents niveaux de décentralisation et d’interopérabilité en termes d’architecture des réseaux et de circulation de données. Ces plates-formes sont regroupées sous le terme de « Fédiverse », un mot-valise composé de « Fédération » et « univers ». La fédération est un concept qui vient de la théorie politique par lequel divers acteurs qui se constituent en réseau décident de coopérer tous ensemble.

  • La Fée Diverse Déploie Ses Ailes
    La Fée diverse déploie ses ailes Il n’est pas si fréquent que l’équipe Framalang traduise un article depuis la langue italienne, mais la récapitulation bien documentée de Cagizero était une bonne occasion de faire le point sur l’expansion de la Fediverse, un phénomène dont nous nous réjouissons et que nous souhaitons voir gagner plus d’amplitude encore, tant mieux si l’article ci-dessous est très lacunaire dans un an ! Article original : Mastodon, il Fediverso ed il futuro decentrato delle reti sociali Traduction Framalang : alainmi, Ezelty, goofy, MO Mastodon, la Fediverse et l’avenir des réseaux décentralisés par Cagizero Peu de temps après une première vue d’ensemble de Mastodon il est déjà possible d’ajouter quelques observations nouvelles. Tout d’abord, il faut noter que plusieurs personnes familières de l’usage des principaux médias sociaux commerciaux (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram…) sont d’abord désorientées par les concepts de « décentralisation » et de « réseau fédéré ». En effet, l’idée des médias sociaux qui est répandue et bien ancrée dans les esprits est celle d’un lieu unique, indifférencié, monolithique, avec des règles et des mécanismes strictement identiques pour tous. Essentiellement, le fait même de pouvoir concevoir un univers d’instances séparées et indépendantes représente pour beaucoup de gens un changement de paradigme qui n’est pas immédiatement compréhensible. Dans un article précédent où était décrit le média social Mastodon, le concept d’instance fédérée était comparé à un réseau de clubs ou cercles privés associés entre eux. Certains aspects exposés dans l’article précédent demandent peut-être quelques éclaircissements supplémentaires pour celles et ceux qui abordent tout juste le concept de réseau fédéré.

  • Functional Breakdown of Decentralised Social Networks
    University of Amsterdam Master System and Network Engineering Research Project 2 Functional breakdown of decentralised social networks Student: Supervisor: Wouter Miltenburg Michiel Leenaars [email protected] [email protected] July 6, 2015 Abstract Current centralised social networks are used by a huge number of users for a variety of reasons. With Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, or Twitter, users are not in control of their own data and access control is centralised and proprietary. Decentralised social networks could be a solution to these problems and gives the control of the data back to users. This research is focused on the question which of the decentralised social networks is currently most suited to be provided as a service by hosting providers. This paper will therefore provide information about the current implementations, the protocols used by the various implementations, and will give a functional breakdown of the various decentralised social networks. Various implementations have been analysed, namely diaspora*, Friendica, GNU social, pump.io, and RedMatrix. The paper also describes the set of standards and protocols used by the various implementations. As most implementations use their own protocol, or implement the standards slightly differently, there is no interoperability without the use of extra plugins or enabling certain features. While there are a lot of standards for facilitating the message exchange, there are however standards missing that would make interoperability possible, which is described in this paper as well. RedMatrix is currently most suited to be provided as an alternative to the current centralised social networks and that can be provided as a service by hosting providers.

  • POSN: a Personal Online Social Network
    POSN: A Personal Online Social Network Esra Erdin1,EricKlukovich1, Gurhan Gunduz2, B and Mehmet Hadi Gunes1( ) 1 University of Nevada, Reno, USA [email protected] 2 Pamukkale University, Denizli, Turkey Abstract. A growing concern for end users of Online Social Networks (OSNs) is the privacy and control of user data due to the client-server architecture of the current ecosystems. In this paper, we introduce a pri- vacy preserving decentralized OSN platform, which mimics real life social interactions. In particular, we decentralize the OSN platform and give direct control of the information to the user. The distributed platform removes central authorities from the OSN and users share their content only with intended peers through mobile devices. This decentralized sys- tem ensures that interaction happens between friends and third parties cannot access the user content or relationships. To be able to efficiently share objects and provide timely access in the POSN platform, we take advantage of free storage clouds to distribute encrypted user content. The combination of phone-to-phone applications with cloud infrastruc- ture would address the availability limitation of peer-to-peer systems, while enjoying the benefits of peer-to-peer systems, such as no central authority and scalability. Keywords: Decentralize · Phone-to-phone · Privacy · Social networks 1 Introduction Online social interactions are an integral part of our daily activity. As indicated in Milgram’s experiment, we live in a small-world [10,21]. Connecting this small- world in the digital world has been a challenge and has been addressed in various ways. OSNs enable frequent social interaction and expansion of knowledge or gossip.

  • A Pluralist Approach to Democratizing Online Discourse
    A Pluralist Approach to Democratizing Online Discourse Jay Chen Barath Raghavan International Computer Science Institute University of Southern California [email protected] [email protected] Paul Schmitt Tai Liu Princeton NYU Abu Dhabi [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Freedom of speech is key to democracy. A free and open Online discourse takes place in corporate-controlled spaces Internet is key to modern global society. Yet how does one thought by users to be public realms. These platforms in reconcile the perspectives above, which speak to fundamental name enable free speech but in practice implement varying issues and are at once in agreement and at odds?

This kind of censorship has of government censorship. Indeed, this persists under autoc- no countervailing accountability mechanism, and as such racies around the world (e.g., China, Iran) but it has fused platform owners, moderators, and algorithms shape public with corporate censorship, with autocracies using corporate discourse without recourse or transparency. partners to implement censorship, or corporate moderators Systems research has explored approaches to decentraliz- unevenly removing unprofitable or unpalatable speech. ing or democratizing Internet infrastructure for decades.

  • "You Can Find My CV on Linkedin ..."
    “You can find my CV on LinkedIn. ” - Privacy-Aware Distributed Social Networking for Research Facilities Sebastian Graf, Andreas Rain, and Marcel Waldvogel Distributed Systems Group University of Konstanz 78457 Konstanz (firstname.lastname)@uni-konstanz.de Abstract: Being a part of any social network becomes a necessity especially for the sake of self-presentation. Specialized social networks like LinkedIn are aware of these needs and offer tailored functionalities like referencing to relevant projects and topics including specific searching functionalities. Since the social data stored within any centralized social network represents an alluring mass of information, security and privacy concerns come up within their uti- lization. As a consequence, guidelines for their usage are deployed within institutions to increase awareness related to these concerns. Unfortunately, the specific toolsets deployed within universities for presenting users and projects support neither the shar- ing of group-based or public information nor the ability to create social connections between users especially not over the borders of single institutions. To combine the need of self-presentation with the ability of virtual social interac- tion, we present a prototype of a federated, distributed, social network tailored to the need of researchers. Our prototype is based on Diaspora, representing the largest dis- tributed social platform nowadays. Enriched with automated, user-related profiles, our Diaspora-pod offers all members of the University of Konstanz the ability to interact in combination with automated university-profiles. Tightly integrated in the existing infrastructure of the University of Konstanz and hosted on trusted infrastructure, the described prototype offers not only user-defined sharing of personal profiles in a federated way.
