SoBigData RI: european integrated infrastructure for social mining and big data analytics
Trasarti R, Grossi V, Natilli M, Rapisarda B
SoBigData RI has the ambition to support the rising demand for cross-disciplinary research and innovation on the multiple aspects of social complexity from combined data and model-driven perspectives and the increasing importance of ethics and data scientists' responsibility as pillars of trustworthy use of Big Data and analytical technology. Digital traces of human activities offer a considerable opportunity to scrutinize the ground truth of individual and collective behaviour at an unprecedented detail and on a global scale. This increasing wealth of data is a chance to understand social complexity, provided we can rely on social mining, i.e., adequate means for accessing big social data and models for extracting knowledge from them. SoBigData RI, with its tools and services, empowers researchers and innovators through a platform for the design and execution of large-scale social mining experiments, open to users with diverse backgrounds, accessible on the cloud (aligned with EOSC), and also exploiting supercomputing facilities. Pushing the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable) and FACT (Fair, Accountable, Confidential, and Transparent) principles will render social mining experiments more efficiently designed, adjusted, and repeatable by domain experts that are not data scientists. SoBigData RI moves forward from the simple awareness of ethical and legal challenges in social mining to the development of concrete tools that operationalize ethics with value-sensitive design, incorporating values and norms for privacy protection, fairness, transparency, and pluralism. SoBigData RI is the result of two H2020 grants (g.a. n.654024 and 871042), and it is part of the ESFRI 2021 Roadmap.Source: CEUR WORKSHOP PROCEEDINGS, pp. 117-124. Tirrenia (PI), Italy, 19-22/06/2022

ACCORDION project aims at unlocking the full potential of a big class of applications that are too latency- sensitive, or data-dependent, to be moved to the public cloud. ACCORDION couples efficient, decentralized and AI-based solutions for cloud and edge resource federation with novel approaches for application definition management and generation at runtime. This deliverable provides a broad overview of the communication, dissemination and exploitation activities implemented within the ACCORDION project within the first 18 months of the project and a detailed market analysis. A detailed exploitation strategy for the project, as well as exploitation plans for individual partners, was presented in the previous deliverable D7.1. Based on those plans, in this deliverable we carry out an evaluation of the ACCORDION project's dissemination and exploitation activities made so far.Project(s): ACCORDION

SoBigData_training activities-planning material and reports 2
Wright J, Braghieri M, Rapisarda B
Deliverable D4.3 provides an overview of training activities that have taken place from M36 to M52. It also includes a full overview of the training materials integration within the SoBigData Research Infrastructure. This final deliverable aims to provide a more detailed look into the various activities that have taken place since September 2018 and in particular to provide comprehensive reports on the events that have addressed gender and diversity issues. The whole project has sought to encourage more females into Computer Science and has therefore tailored some events to appeal to females in particular. SoBigData has also provided travel grants to assist female scientists in attending international events. With regards to the training materials, we have sought to make these a more effective resource by concentrating on four areas of improvement: Content Harmonization, Muti-Channel Content, Interactivity and Audience Targeting. These enhancements to the SoBigData Research Infrastructure will be covered in detail in Section 4. Discussions are also taking place with regards to the possibility of webinars, tutorials and video lectures to provide more options for the user as well as developing online assessment and exercises. The possibility of more targeted training paths is also being explored to provide a more tailored content for the user - whether they be a student, professional or the general public; the objective being to promote the dissemination of SoBigData training materials as widely as possible.Project(s): SoBigData

ACCORDION D7.1 - Dissemination & exploitation plan
Tserpes K, Kousiouris G, Di Girolamo M, Violos J, Lipa B, Pateraki M, Loven T, Tarkowski P, Taleb T, Bagaa M, Nadir Z, Kourtelis N, Zadtootaghaj S, Diego F, Dazzi P, Rapisarda B, Coppola M
ACCORDION project aims at unlocking the full potential of a big class of applications that are too latency- sensitive, or data-dependent, to be moved to the public cloud. In particular, ACCORDION couples efficient, decentralized and AI-based solutions for cloud and edge resource federation with novel approaches for application definition management and generation at runtime. This deliverable provides the ACCORDION Dissemination and Exploitation plan. Exploitation activities seek to generate new revenue streams for consortium members by introducing new products and services to the market, increasing the market share of existing offerings, securing intellectual property rights through standardization, as well as reducing costs by adopting new processes. These gains can be enjoyed by a single beneficiary or shared among several ACCORDION partners. But in order for these benefits to materialize, selected pieces of information need to be disseminated to external parties that can influence the quality of ACCORDION outputs (such as the research community) or communicated with end users, the media and third parties (e.g., policy makers) in an easy-to-digest way. The ACCORDION dissemination, communication and exploitation plan has been broken down into three consecutive phases: a) the Development phase during the first 2 years of the project where all envisioned ACCORDION products will be specified, developed, integrated, validated and finetuned where necessary. Communication and dissemination will gradually evolve from explaining our vision and approach followed to results obtained and progress beyond the state-of-the-art. Exploitation activities will start with an initial market analysis for each ACCORDION asset/product for revealing end-users' pain points and technology gaps and evolve towards the preliminary formation of individual and joint exploitation plans by consortium members. b) the pre-commercialisation/"result wrap-up" phase during the last year of the project where maturity of ACCORDION outputs will increase and dissemination and communication strategy will continue to be results-oriented in order to stimulate further the market for ACCORDION platform. Regarding exploitation activities, consortium members will perform a techno-economic analysis for assessing the sustainability of individual and joint commercialization plans and discuss details about the business plan(s) to be followed. c) The commercialisation/"follow-up" phase that will commence at the end of the project and targets the launch of products and services based on ACCORDION results; most likely a subset of these as not all ACCORDION outputs are expected to be ready for prime time. This will allow European telecommunication operators, cloud and edge infrastructure providers, as well as service providers of any vertical industry and size, to capitalize on their local resource and other advanced technologies, such as 5G, for enhancing the quality of experience, cost effectiveness and security offered to end-users. To this end, the marketing and business development departments of consortium members, either individually or as part of a joint venture, will continue interacting with targeted audience and explore the path for future upgrades to those product offerings. For each of those phases we outline a set of clear activities and tools through which we will be able to interact with targeted stakeholder groups in an effective way. Acknowledging that ACCORDION members' business development departments, infrastructure providers, service providers in several vertical markets, end-users, policy makers, standardization bodies and research communities (including other research projects) have different backgrounds and objectives, separate (yet linked) strategies and roadmaps have been defined for dissemination, communication and exploitation purposes. Furthermore, a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) has been defined for benchmarking these activities, as well as an approach utilizing internal tools for monitoring progress and taking corrective measures when necessary.Project(s): ACCORDION

SoBigData - VA e-Infrastructure service provision and operation report 1
Trasarti R, Pagano P, Falchi C, Grossi V, Rapisarda B
The deliverable present the status of the SoBigData platform as an evolving e-infrastructure where the partners are continuosly adding new contents and improving the presentation of them. The virtual research enviroments (VREs) already integrated will be described and monitored with a set of KPIs describing the number of access, the experiments done and the social network activities related to them. Moreover a description of the VREs which are not yet public but are under an internal review phase will be described in order to understand how the consortium is prooceding in integrating resources to the e-infrastructure. An important note is the fact that this deliverable does not contain the assessment from the Advisory Board as described in the DOW, this due the fact that the board is not yet formed. Anyway the SoBigData Platform is begin used by the partner for inserting resources only in the last 6 months and therefore it is in stage where the content vary greatly (in the last month the resources in the catalogue doubled).Project(s): SoBigData

Learning games for the cognitively impaired people
Buzzi Mc, Buzzi M, Perrone E, Rapisarda B, Senette C
Learning environments have been profoundly reshaped by pervasive technology. New educational methodologies take full advantage of ICT in a mobile customized user-friendly environment, to support learning and stimulate individuals'potential. Unfortunately, technology-enhanced learning tools are not often designed with accessibility in mind, although they can greatly benefit the personal empowerment and inclusion of special-needs people. To address this gap, a Web platform has been created for delivering accessible games to people with Down syndrome. Since personalization, orderliness and positive reinforcement are crucial to learning in these subjects, the platform offers a personalized safe environment for learning, conforming to behavioral analysis principles. Learning analytics are incorporated in the platform for easy monitoring of student progress via Web interfaces. The participatory design driving the development of the learning platform allowed the customization of the games'discriminative stimuli, difficulty levels and reinforcement, as well as the creation of a game "engine" to easily set up new personalized exercises. These customization features make the game platform usable by a larger audience, including individuals with learning difficulties and autism.DOI: 10.1145/2899475.2899487
