7 years ago Hi Alex,
In addition to adding the keynotes mentioned above, on the workshops page please strike-through the cancelled workshops names (InSeCo and QA4SASO) and mark them as cancelled.
Thank you!
Best regards, Christopher
Hi Alexander,
We have two additional keynotes (Stephen Marsh), both with SASO^ST, that should be listed on the website (under the Workshop keynote section). Below please find their names, affiliation, bios, titles and abstracts.
Please let me know in case you are missing relevant information.
Best regards, Christopher
=== SASO^ST, Keynote 1
Presenter: """ Prof. Seth Frey University of California, Davis, USA http://philosophy.ucdavis.edu/people/sethfrey """
Title: The development of complex governance regimes in sovereign online communities
Abstract: """ The institutions that structure our lives vary wildly in their complexity and level of formality. Environment, size, and structure are likely to be related across the range of self-governing communities, but a truly general understanding of institutional development requires access to large numbers of communities that are broadly comparable but still heterogeneous. We compare 80,000 amateur-run online web server communities to examine the relationship between resource management challenges, community success, and regime complexity. While these communities cover a range of sizes from 2–20,000 visitors, their administrators are united by goal of building a successful community, and the common challenges that come with that. We find that regimes in larger self-governing communities have more developed governance regimes, as measured by scope, intensity, specialization, and consolidation of authority. A comparative understanding successful self-governance contributes to theories of institutional design that can cover the widest variety of social systems: businesses and book clubs, trade treaties and town halls. """
Bio: """ Seth Frey studies human decision behavior and social organization in engineered social systems like web experiments, team sports, theme parks, video games, board games, and economic games. He is an Assistant Professor of Communication at UC Davis, and a William H. Neukom Fellow at Dartmouth College’s interdisciplinary Neukom Institute for Computational Science. Before that, he was in the behavioral economics group at Disney Research, a part of Walt Disney Imagineering. He earned his Ph.D. in Cognitive Science and Informatics at Indiana University in 2013, and his B.A. in Cognitive Science from the University of California at Berkeley in 2004. """

Title: "Let's Be More Tolerant: Differences Are Good Things"
Abstract: """ In the recent past we've heard a lot about the Wisdom of Crowds, Swarm Intelligence and things of that nature: the more the merrier, let's say. We're quite happy in many of our models to actively seek out and ignore the outliers, for whatever reason makes sense to us.
And that's okay. But.
Bellwethers exist. People have different views. Quite often, the swarm is the extension of an individual will. There are many different ways crowds work. More importantly, there are many different views in societies. Tolerance is about not just accepting but embracing these differences. This, we argue, adds strength, resilience, adaptability to socio-technical systems. But we need to think about that when we are building our models.
In this talk. Let's explore that. """
Bio: """ Steve Marsh is a Trust Scientist and a thought leader in the phenomenon of trust for computational systems. He is an Assistant Professor of Information Systems in the Faculty of Business and Information Technology, University of Ontario Institute of Technology.
His PhD (University of Stirling, 1994) was a seminal work that introduced the first formalisation of the phenomenon of trust (the concept of 'Computational Trust'), and applied it to Multi Agent Systems. As a milestone in trust research, it brought together disparate disciplines and attempted to make sense of a vital phenomenon in human and artificial societies, and is still widely referenced today, being in the top tenth of one percent of Citeseerx's most cited articles in computer science. Steve's current work builds extensively on this model, applying it to network security, Critical Infrastructure Protection, and mobile device security.
His research interests include computational trust, computational wisdom, device comfort, trust management, regret and regret management, and socially adept technologies. He is the Canadian delegate to IFIP Technical Committee 11: Security and Privacy Protection in Information Processing Systems. He is an adjunct professor at UNB (Computer Science) and Carleton University (Systems and Computer Engineering and Cognitive Science).
Steve lives in rural Ontario, Canada with dogs, cats, horses and people, all of whom have their own things to teach us about trust. """
