Internet Society Foundation Research Programme
by Joly MacFie 20 Jul '21

20 Jul '21

https://www.isocfoundation.org/grant-programme/research-grant-programme/ The Internet Society Foundation’s Research Programme supports global research collaborations that advance understanding of the Internet and its value for all. Programme Objectives - Promote novel methodologies that generate solutions to Internet-related challenges - Identify and support a diverse and collaborative group of researchers and research institutions - Facilitate access to intersectional research that can be applied to decision-making in government and industry This programme is intended for research that is applied and open, meaning the research seeks to answer a real-world question and should be openly published and made available to the scientific community at no cost. The Foundation supports research involving human or animal subjects when the project has been certified by a responsible body to be ethical and in compliance with local law. It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator of the project to obtain these certifications. Areas of Focus Statements of interest and subsequent proposals should address topics related to one of the following thematic areas: *Greening the Internet* The Internet both affects and is affected by the environment and climate change. Having a critical awareness of this impact is key to the Internet’s resilience and ensures its sustainability for generations to come. This awareness may include an assessment of energy consumption by the Internet, or the toxins and waste generated by its use. It may consider the enabling effect the Internet has on other sectors to limit greenhouse gas emissions. It may examine the ways in which climate change and extreme weather threatens Internet infrastructure and limits connectivity. Research focusing on Greening the Internet should promote an awareness of these and other issues concerning the Internet’s environmental footprint and the sustainability measures needed for it and the planet to thrive. *The Internet Economy * New and emerging Internet-based activities have the power to disrupt our economic landscapes and lead to unpredictable economic futures. Having a firm grasp of the interactions that create the Internet Economy has the potential to reshape this uncertainty. Unpacking how the Internet transforms traditional ideas about competition, production, and consumption of goods and services could be useful in allowing for equitable and gainful participation of everyone in a rapidly digitizing global economy. Research proposals focusing on the Internet Economy should present an analysis of past or present ecosystems that yields insight into the future of the Internet and its dependent market(s). *A Trustworthy Internet* The Internet is completely trustworthy if and only if it is completely resilient, reliable, accountable, and secure in a way that consistently meets users’ expectations for information and services. The Internet is only worthy of trust when it conforms with what people expect will happen regardless of whether or not those expectations are reasonable. Further, trustworthiness is not a matter of only one layer in the network, and it is possible that some parts of the Internet are trustworthy while other parts are not. For example, while the application layer may be reliable or secure, there may be gaps in the logic or infrastructure, or there may be may be mistrust in the content. Research engaging the idea of A Trustworthy Internet should attempt to explain how the Internet does or does not meet user expectations and what should or shouldn’t be done about it. *Decolonising the Internet* We acknowledge that the Internet’s development depended on industrial societies that, by their nature, used resources from lands dispossessed from Indigenous people and communities throughout the world. We acknowledge that the Internet can proliferate inequality and injustice, perhaps especially when its design is not inclusive nor its designers diverse. We acknowledge that the Internet can invalidate and make obsolete traditional forms of knowledge production and knowledge sharing and has the power to erase languages and cultures. But it also doesn’t have to. Instead the Internet can be a site of restorative, liberating, and transformational practices that bridge the past to a more just future or bring those at the margins closer to the center. Research on Decolonising the Internet should explore these practices and other methods toward an Internet for everyone. Eligibility - Independent researchers should have a postgraduate research degree (PhD, Masters) and peer reviewed publications, patents, academic or independently published work in the relevant area. - Research institutions should be 501c3 or equivalent and should have a mission that is aligned to that of the Foundation. Additional eligibility requirements for all Foundation grants are outlined here <https://www.isocfoundation.org/resources/grantee-eligibility/>. All applicants must ensure that they meet these basic requirements. Underrepresented groups in the research world are highly encouraged to apply. Application Process The application process occurs in four stages from the statement of interest to award (and could take up to 3 months): - Stage 1: The Foundation seeks statements of interest related to the thematic areas and reviews and selects ideas that will move on to stage two. - Stage 2: The Foundation and the potential grantee will collaborate on a full proposal (5-10 pages). During this phase both parties will determine additional collaborators and resources to complement the research. All parties will then participate in a co-creation workshop to further develop the idea presented in the statement of interest into a full proposal. - Stage 3: Full proposals developed during stage two will be reviewed by the Independent Programme Review Committee (IPRC). The Independent Programme Review Committee recommends which proposals should be considered for funding to the Programme Officer. - Stage 4: The Programme Officer engages in the final review, negotiation, and determination of grant awards with successful partners. See more information on the IPRC <https://www.isocfoundation.org/resources/application-review-process/> Selection Criteria *Statements of Interest* Researchers will be asked to complete a statement of interest that outlines the following: - What is the thematic area of focus? - What is your research question? What do you seek to answer? - Why is this a novel research question? How does this differ from previous research on the same or similar topic? - How can this research be applied? What practical problem does this research solve? - Who is the principal investigator? - Who are your potential collaborators? Why have you chosen them? *Full Proposal* Select researchers will be invited to submit a full proposal to be reviewed by the Independent Programme Review Committee. Final submissions will be selected based on the following criteria: - Is the research novel? - Is the research applied? - Is the research collaborative? Funding One or more awards in each of the thematic areas are anticipated subject to fiscal year funding. Grants of up to US$200,000 will be awarded for research lasting up to 2 years. Timeframe: - Statements of Interest accepted beginning 1 September 2020 - Full Proposal invitations on a rolling basis thereafter How to apply Only statements of interest submitted in the Foundation’s grants management system will be considered. Incomplete submissions that do not meet eligibility requirements will not be considered (see Eligibility Requirements <https://www.isocfoundation.org/resources/grantee-eligibility/> ).

20 Jul '21

Second International Conference on Digital Data Processing Marrakesh, Morocco November 11-13, 2021 [1]www.socio.org.uk/ddp (IEEE CPS. Papers should follow IEEE template) Data grows voluminously and exponentially with heterogeneity and complexity. A single organization or industry processes more than few million transactions hourly and stores several petabytes of data. We live in a world of tremendous pressure to analyze and process data more efficiently where the Data analytics are able to reflect hidden patterns, incomprehensible relationships, intrinsic information relations, and segmentation. The data applications have introduced cutting-edge possibilities in every activity in our life. Thus, the study of data and its underlying structure, dynamics of data relations, and newer data technologies are a never-ending process. The literature and research on data management are enormous, still, they sufficiently do not solve the data processing requirements. Currently, the use of technology and interrelations among information pieces generate gargantuan amounts of data. Many studies tend to develop models and systems to analyse the voluminous datasets. Analysing the impact of data leads to application domains on various decisions that have a systematic influence. Knowledge generated from the data analysis can enable the production of critical information for several domains. Hence this conference reviews and discusses, the recent trends, opportunities, and pitfalls of data management and how it has impacted organizations to create successful business and technology strategies and remain updated in data technology. This conference also highlights the current open research directions of data analytics that requires further consideration/ The proposed conference will discuss the topics not limited to Data applications in various domains and activities Data in cloud Real-world data processing Data inaccuracy and reliability issues Data ecosystem Business analytics New data analytics techniques Physical and management challenges Privacy and Security Crowdsourcing and Sensing Data modeling Deep learning techniques Data fusion Descriptive analytic, Diagnostic analytics, Predictive Analytics, and Prescriptive analytics Machine learning Network optimization Publications DDP is technically supported by IEEE CPS. The DDP papers will be submitted for publication and indexing in IEEE Xplore. Besides, modified versions of the papers will appear in the following journals. 1. Journal on Data Semantics 2.

Call for book chapter contributions for book: "In excess: data boundaries and overflow in digital media research"
by Natalie Hendry 20 Jul '21

20 Jul '21

RMIT Classification: Trusted Hello all, Inspired by conversations about "excess in research" with colleagues at RMIT's Digital Ethnography Research Centre<https://digital-ethnography.com/>, Ingrid and I are working on an edited book collection that explores excess and would love to hear if you're interested in contributing a book chapter (~5000 words). We welcome short abstracts of about 200-500 words that respond to our current blurb below - due by Friday 27 August 2021. Please get in touch if you'd like to talk about your ideas as well. We will compile a book proposal from proposed chapter contributions and confirm a publisher as soon as possible. Cheers Natalie and Ingrid Proposed title: In excess: data boundaries and overflow in digital media research Editors: Natalie Hendry and Ingrid Richardson Excess emerges in the research process: the “debris” and “leftovers” from planning, fieldwork and writing; the words cut from drafts and copied to untouched and forgotten files; the data analyses never published. This may be inherent to research as we create boundaries on the world to manage or confine our research questions and interests. It may also be a problem of increasing academic pressures to publish and discard data that doesn’t neatly fit a project or topic, or perhaps it is an ethical problem as we actively or even unintentionally collect “too much” data. Much of the work we do, including the experience and affects of research, sits beyond the boundaries of academic books, journal articles and reports. Even as creative and innovative ways of doing and communicating research strive to better incorporate complex, experiential, and iterative approaches, such methods also face significant challenges in addressing the complexity and excess of scholarship. Media, internet and technology researchers know the possibilities and problems of “excess” and “TMI”—too much information—intimately. While the challenge of excess and too much data is familiar to qualitative and quantitative scholars alike, it is especially critical for digital media researchers. Not only do the (unrealised) promises of big data to capture “everything” haunt our projects, our media interests and digital fields are expansive and perpetually being made and remade as content and data are retweeted, shared and circulated through devices, apps and platforms. Our research projects and sites may end, but our research histories continue to follow us on social media through algorithmic and archival functions. For Clay Shirky (2008<https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.masco…>) this broader problem is “not information overload. It’s filter failure.” For researchers, is data excess merely a filter problem? How then do we imagine and enact filters and boundaries for research to manage material, theoretical and pragmatic overload? How can and do other researchers or projects embrace excess, even if only in the early brainstorming stages of project development? What opportunities might excess offer us? This book is a dedicated collection that explores excess as a conceptual, methodological, ethical and pragmatic challenge and opportunity in media research. It examines what happens when media researchers return to their surplus knowledge, labour and feelings about data overflow. We invite contributions from researchers and scholars to explore “excess” as it emerges in digital technology and media research. While not exhaustive, we offer these suggestions as starting points: * Theories of excess, overwhelm, attention, overload and “TMI” in relation to research methods * Research methodologies and methods that actively engage with excess, boundaries, and scope * Creative practice and innovative methods that engage with media excess and/or address problems or opportunities of excess in participants’ and communities’ lives * Theoretical, ethical, or methodological discussions of conceptual, material and/or digital boundaries in media studies research * Practical recommendations to support new and post graduate researchers manage the challenges of too much data * Processes and methods of knowledge translation and how they may simplify or modify complex, boundless or extravagant projects * Analyses of the breadth, depth, and scope of big data or large digital ethnography projects (among others) * Reflections on the “leftovers” and surplus in research * Metaphors and concepts of excess as a means of critiquing research processes and methods * Excess as an ethical challenge and the ethical implications of “too much” data * Affective experiences and approaches to “excessive feelings” including overwhelm, shame, confusion, and other intensities * Negotiating excess through and after project development with stakeholders, funders, institutions, and other bodies outside of academia Natalie Hendry (PhD) Vice-Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Research Fellow natalie.hendry(a)rmit.edu.au<mailto:natalie.hendry@rmit.edu.au> +61 3 9925 8119 Design and Creative Practice Enabling Capability Platform<https://www.rmit.edu.au/research/research-expertise/our-focus/enabling-capa…> School of Media and Communication RMIT University, Melbourne she / her Google Scholar<https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=AAqyUnMAAAAJ&hl=en> | DCP Impact Observatory<https://dcp-ecp.com/> | HASH Network<https://www.hashnetwork.org/experts/natalie-hendry>

CFP: Economies of Virtue: The Circulation of ‘Ethics’ in AI and Digital Culture
by Monique Mann 20 Jul '21

20 Jul '21

Call for Chapters INC Theory on Demand<https://networkcultures.org/publications/> Edited Collection Economies of Virtue: The Circulation of ‘Ethics’ in AI and Digital Culture Edited by Thao Phan, Jake Goldenfein, Monique Mann, and Declan Kuch Who funds research into the ethics of AI technologies? How does AI ethics relate to issues of power? And how does an industry-sponsored ethics agenda impact the production of knowledge about AI systems? This edited volume will explore these questions in the context of such issues associated with emerging forms of socially responsible and ethical AI and related automated decision-making systems. In response campaigners, industry insiders and civil society actors raising concerns about ‘bad AI’ there has been a wave of social science led research around AI ethics. This field has been instrumental in driving new agendas and initiatives in algorithmic fairness and justice and the development of AI ethics frameworks across industry, government, and academia. As this field of inquiry and practice grows and becomes more mainstream, it too is at risk of its own ethical crisis. Accusations of wide scale “ethics washing<https://www.researchgate.net/publication/338271524_Ethics_As_An_Escape_From…>”, in which initiatives towards ethical AI have delivered either underwhelming results or have been panned as performative PR, have led to urgent questions about whether ethical AI is possible within current systems of social organisation. The social and political pressures for companies to behave ethically has been met with an industry-led agenda encompassing conferences, new institutions and more. The influence of industry (and industry funding) in the field has raised such questions as: if AI ethics is concerned with understanding the causes and effects of AI failures, identifying approaches to ‘fix’ these problems, and designing mechanisms to make AI ‘ethical’, who should fund it and to what effect? The influx of industry support is occurring against a backdrop of eroding public funding to the university sector, pushing researchers to turn to the private sector for research income. At what cost do these new arrangements come to society? In this context we are seeking contributions to the edited collection that seek to address the following types of questions: * Ethics Owners: how is ethics managed at a practical level within organisations? Who devises metrics and accountability mechanisms for ethical conduct and outcomes? * Funding Ethics: what funding structures are associated with industry-led agendas for “ethical AI” and how might these create conflicts of interest, compromise academic independence, or research integrity? How might this relate to the politicisation of the university as an industry sector and as an institution? * AI and the New Extractivism: How can we expand on narrow conceptualisations of AI ethics as merely detrimental algorithmic outputs to address broader issues including the ethics of extraction? What can be learned from fields such as political economy, labour studies, political ecology, critical race studies, and activism in order to centre power, politics, and history over abstract terms like ‘ethics’? * Ethics Onwards: what futures are imagined by ‘Ethical AI’ and how might these be re-imagined? What alternatives might we look to aside from ‘ethics’ as a model for social responsibility and social justice? How can we resist these developments? This edited collection follows on from the two-day Academy of Social Sciences in Australia funded workshop in July 2021. For more information visit: https://socialsciences.org.au/workshop/economies-of-virtue-the-circulation-… We now welcome submissions from actors both in and outside of academia, including activists and civil society groups. Co-authorship, group-authorship, or network authorship is also encouraged. Deadline and Review Process Potential contributors should submit a 500 - 700 word abstract with chapter title and short author bio(s) to editorial assistant Wynston Lee wynston.lee(a)deakin.edu.au<mailto:wynston.lee@deakin.edu.au> by Friday 27th August, 2021. Abstract submissions will be selected by the editorial team and successful submissions will be invited to submit full chapters of 4,000 - 6,000 words in length by 19th November, 2021. We aim for publication June 2022. This collection will not be produced through a traditional model of blind peer-review but will instead adopt a collective editorship model. Chapter authors will be openly allocated other chapter manuscripts to review by the editors. This will discourage disciplinary gatekeeping, accommodate challenging topics and themes, and to encourage reviewers to be accountable for their feedback while working together to improve the quality of the text and argument. For questions or enquiries regarding the CFP or review process, contact Dr Monique Mann at monique.mann(a)deakin.edu.au<mailto:monique.mann@deakin.edu.au> and Dr Declan Kuch d.kuch(a)westernsydney.edu.au<mailto:d.kuch@westernsydney.edu.au> Kind Regards, Monique, on behalf of Thao, Jake and Declan also Monique Mann PhD FHEA Senior Lecturer Criminology School of Humanities and Social Sciences Faculty of Arts and Education Deakin University Staff profile and publications<https://www.deakin.edu.au/about-deakin/people/monique-mann/_recache> Important Notice: The contents of this email are intended solely for the named addressee and are confidential; any unauthorised use, reproduction or storage of the contents is expressly prohibited.

WEBCAST TODAY: RPKI Week - Day 5 - ISPs, NSPs, and RPKI – A MANRS Community Panel
by Joly MacFie 16 Jul '21

16 Jul '21

2020 was the year of RPKI. Many big network operators across the globe started the rollout of Route Origin Validation (dropping routes with “Invalid” ROA status) and many others have followed them in 2021. There are many things to consider, such as selection of relying party software, the right set of config parameters for the edge routers, design, and how to monitor it. In this panel, prominent industry players who implemented ROV will share their insight, clear common misconceptions, and address problems it causes and how to remedy them. Moderator: Philip Smith (NSRC) Speakers: D’Wayne Saunders (Telstra) Mark Tinka (Seacom) Tony Tauber (Comcast) https://www.manrs.org/resources/upcoming-events/rpki-week/ <http://http//livestream.com/internetsociety/rpkiweek>On *12-16 July 2021* the *Internet Society <https://internetsociety.org/>* will host *RPKI Week <https://www.manrs.org/resources/upcoming-events/rpki-week/>* to highlight the importance of *Resource Public Key Infrastructure <https://www.apnic.net/community/security/resource-certification/>* (RPKI) and encourage network operators to take concrete steps to improve routing security. RPKI helps prevent Internet routing incidents like prefix hijacking and route leaks. It allows an entity to cryptographically verify that an autonomous system (AS) is authorized to originate a prefix, thus reducing incidents that can lead to DDoS attacks, traffic inspection, lost revenue, reputational damage, and more.
