Abstract In recent years, brain research has indisputably entered a new epoch, driven by substantial methodological advances and digitally enabled data integration modelling at multiple scales—from molecules to the whole brain. Major are emerging intersection of neuroscience with technology computing. This science combines high-quality research, across scales, culture multidisciplinary large-scale collaboration, translation into applications. As pioneered in Europe’s Human Brain Project...
Abstract As the global health crisis unfolded, many academic conferences moved online in 2020. This move has been hailed as a positive step towards inclusivity its attenuation of economic, physical, and legal barriers effectively enabled individuals from groups that have traditionally underrepresented to join participate. A number studies outlined how moving made it possible gather more community increased opportunities for with various constraints, e.g., caregiving responsibilities. Yet,...
Designing and implementing functional Socio Technical Systems (STS) is becoming increasingly important, as technologies become more pervasive critical to everyday life. technical systems are said be efficient useful when they “jointly optimized” yet few system designers understand what joint optimization is, how achieve it. The paper explains the core tenets of Joint Optimization identifies need for artifacts support built in design socio from early stages development. JOM (Joint Metamodel)...
Although automated translation systems are increasingly impressive they still far from perfect, and even casual use demonstrates that can?t produce robust, error free, transcriptions of arbitrary text. However it is becoming apparent Crowdsourcing tasks not only viable but, in many cases, provides results equal to more expensive slower alternatives. This paper a brief survey academic commercial harness collective intelligence the text, presents pilot conducted using MTurk for non-Roman...
This paper introduces 'just enough' principles and 'systems engineering' approach to the practice of ontology development provide a minimal yet complete, lightweight, agile integrated process, supportive stakeholder management implementation independence.

Given the availability and ample choice of methods, processes, tools environments for sharing knowledge on web – 20 years research has yielded a vast body literature it is surprising that adoption artefacts designed to optimise exchange still limited. In related work, systematic review publicly funded systems engineering (SE) in United Kingdom undertaken, outcomes which contribute motivating ongoing search simple standardised shared representations formalisation mechanisms. This paper...
This paper introduces the rationale for positioning our research in Knowledge Management, specifically Reuse and Learning Systems Engineering, context of broader 'collective intelligence' scenarios emerging knowledge ecosystems. It presents observations from exploratory phase work, discusses motivating questions, justifies choice proposed future direction this research.
AI research and implementations are growing, so the risks associated with (Artificial Intelligence) developments, especially when it’s difficult to understand exactly what they do how work, both at a localized level, deployment, in particular distributed on large scale. Governments pouring massive funding promote education, yet results claims, as well effectiveness of educational programmes, can be evaluate given limited reproducibility computations based ML (machine learning) poor...
The web can be the most efficient medium for sharing knowledge, provided appropriate technological artifacts such as controlled vocabularies and metadata are adopted. In our research we study degree of adoption applied to systems engineering domain. This paper is a work in progress report discussing issues surrounding knowledge extraction representation, proposing an integrated approach tackle various challenges associated with development shared vocabulary practice.

Substantial EU resources are being invested in research and practice emerging from the socio-technical convergence of networked technologies social clusters, increasingly referred to as 'collective awareness' 'social sensing' platforms. Novel concepts tools developed stimulate promote environments, requiring some level shared conceptualisation domain.

Digital Ecosystems are interconnected environments which enable the proliferation and harnessing of Collective Intelligence. Ontologies built in support information systems that constitute fabric digital need to take into account dynamic factors contribute 'ongoing change' underlying reality. In this paper we put forward hypothesis 'entropy' (as defined second law thermodynamics) as well similar metrics must be used a measurement evaluate factors, lay down foundation for further research.

The Open Access Movement has been striving to grant universal unrestricted access the knowledge and data outputs of publicly funded research. leveraging real time, virtually cost free publishing opportunities offered by internet web. However, evidence suggests that in systems engineering domain open policies are not widely adopted. This paper presents rationale, methodology results an based inquiry investigates dichotomy between policy practice (OA) research UK, explores entangled dimensions...
To develop systems capable of high level cognitive functions such as intelligence, it is necessary to formally capture different types knowledge, so that they can be used support complex processes, inference and reasoning. The design engineering Intelligent Systems large distributed socio technical processes increasingly leverages converging techniques from Artificial Intelligence, Knowledge Representation (KR) Cognitive Architectures. This resulting in multi layered architectures AI...
