Executive summary The objective of this deliverable is to report on the planning and implementation of the dissemination activities undertaken by the SmartSociety project. It is written as an update on deliverable D10.2. The overall plan has changed little from the version of D10.2 so we take this as read. The dissemination goals have matured and developed as the project has developed and these will be reported but the overall pattern of Goals, Audience, Messages, Messengers and Channels remains in place. Sections 1-5 of this report provide brief updates on each of these aspects of the plan. For a fully detailed account of these aspects of the plan the reader is referred to D10.2. Sections 6 and 7 provide a report on the fourth year dissemination activities. These are structured according to the agreed KPI table taken from the DOW. This identifies a number of agreed KPI together with targets set for M12, M24 and so on. This is reported mainly in tables relating to the achieved performance relative to the targets. In this we meet or exceed the targets set for all of the KPIs. Since most of the measures are cumulative we have included tables for years one, two and three. A distinctive feature of the SmartSociety project is its double loop structure and careful process to identify and develop exploitable components. This is dealt with in detail in D10.5 and D10.6. The consequence of this approach has been the development of a collection of sound components and an embracing programming framework. This is captured for dissemination on the Smart Collective web site: http://www.smartcollectives.com.

Deliverable D10.4

Dissemination Overview We live in an evolving socio-technical ecosystem where the physical and virtual are increasingly intertwined, where social interaction, is mediated by, and engages with, machines. Pervasive devices of different kinds (e.g. personal computers, mobile phones and tablets) combined with infrastructure and apps supporting large scale social networking ensure that there are strong incentives for us to participate at individual, organizational and societal levels. Our dissemination activities aim to communicate how the Smart Society project conceptual tools aid the analysis, operation, design and evolution of Hybrid Diversity-Aware CASs. The impact of this work will be both in the operation and evolution of “naturally occurring” CASs that have grown up around providing particular functions and in the design, operation and evolution of new CASs designed to deliver particular functions. The key dissemination audiences are the international scientific community, practitioners working with CAS-like systems, public administrations that need to regulate CASs and use them to deliver services, and the European Commission as funder of this work. This is an update covering year 4. For the full plan see D 10.2.

Dissemination Goals

SmartSociety is a mature project with an extensive array of concepts, analytical techniques, tools, experimental results and data. In this section we briefly identify the top-level goals of our dissemination activity. These are closely related to the targets presented in the DoW: 1. Public Dissemination: Goal of public dissemination is: a. To ensure open access to the outputs of the project. b. To expose the broader ethical and governance issues around HDA-CASs to public debate and scrutiny. c. To enable people to experience HDA-CAS-type systems for themselves. 2. Scientific Dissemination: The HDA-CAS community of researchers is quite diverse and multidisciplinary. The key goal of our scientific dissemination is to reach out to the broad community of interest around HDA-CASs and build community interest in CAS research and develop a larger community of researchers. 3. Concertation and Cluster Activities: The goal here is to work with the FoCAS CSA to develop interaction and an effective community across all the FoCAS projects. This will include participation in the CAS activity and engagement in planning and implementation of CSA activities. 4. Exploitation of Results: Ultimately the value of the project rests on the adoption and reuse of ideas, techniques and tools, developed within the project, by other companies and projects. 5. Management of Knowledge and IPR: Exploitation also requires some protection to ensure that valuable IPR is not transferred out of the project to be exploited by third parties without adequate compensation for the originators of the ideas.

Target Audiences

We continue to disseminate to all of the audiences identified D10.2. The project is now in its final phase and we have a range of concrete techniques and products available, we envisage that we will be ale to reach out to small and more niche organisations. For example, partnering with SMEs to develop products based on the SmartSociety platform. Now we are in the fourth year of the project we are still reaching all of the audiences identified in D10.2 but for some of these populations we have gained additional traction. In particular: • Researchers: Because we have more deployable elements together with frameworks and techniques for analysis this gives us access to a wider pool of researchers. In particular to more applied researchers who might want to use our products. Zooniverse is a good example of this. • EU Commission: In working in the DSM, EIP on AHA, Silver Economy and other similar initiatives we have a clear view of the role of the collective in these initiatives and how our tools can lever collectives to achieve outcomes. This extends to pool of potential EU initiatives we can © SmartSociety Consortium 2013 - 2017

access. The development of the Social Charter for Platform Technologies has also allowed us access those responsible for policy in this area. Companies: Our exploitation work has identified clear potential for commercialisation and discussions with companies on potential use of SmartSociety products is becoming more possible. The Smart Collectives work together with the FET Innovation Launchpad funding acquired by the project will see further translational work towards components that can be easily used by SMEs. Public Sector: We have been working closely with the public sector around the deployment of the SmartShare system. This has considerably extended our audience. The failure to gain traction with the potential customers ahs been frustrating and has pointed out the difficulties in gaining traction in this sector. Public Awareness: The embedding of SmartShare in service provision has given us additional opportunities to communicate with the public. Although the initial phase of deployment has been disappointing we believe that with resolve from the municipalities we will se the development of a user group.

Key Messages

All of the key messages identified in D10.2 are still in place. The new category of messages appearing in 2015 has been messages based on experimental results and on experience of using SmartSociety outputs in the real world. Examples of this include: • Work on Zooniverse on incentives and how this changes the response of citizen scientists. • Work on the Semantic Nurse project that demonstrates how to bridge the semantic gap. • Trials of the SmartShare system prior to the major deployment. All of these demonstrate the practicality of the SmartSociety ideas and they are presented framed by an appropriate framework for the discussion of legal and ethical issues. This provides us with a strong basis for discussion with policy makers and implementers. Our new messages in 2016 have mainly addressed this group: • The Social Charter has a strong policy element and has been used to open up dialogue with policy makers. • Smart Collectives provides us with a toolkit through which we can engage with developers and SMEs interested in developing systems that utilize collective effort.

Messengers

Our messengers have been heavily involved in giving talks, organising meetings, and contributing to our video channel (as detailed in section 7). The overall plan detailed in section 4 of D10.2 is still in place and our messengers are proving highly effective in communicating the outputs of Smart Society

Dissemination activities, tools/channels

In response to the reviewers comments we have extended the range of channels we are using. ISSU seems to be particularly heavily used so we are ensuring materials are up to date on that channel. We have a full range of channels as detailed in D10.2. During 2015 we have seen continuing increases in the use of the site as it becomes more valuable because it has more assets available. We will attempt to promote the website further to ensure increasing use. The new channel for 2016 is the gitlab repository. This underpins the Smart Collectives website.. The success of the repository is an important indicator that the project will have long term impact so we will ensure the components are presented in a strong a way as we can with clear help on how to adopt and adapt our outputs.

Evaluation

The table below lists the target and actual performance of the project relative to the agreed framework of KPIs documented in the DoW. This KPI framework is intended primarily to document output from the project. More detailed tables in section 7 support this table.

In terms of developing measures of outcome and potential for impact (since much of the impact of the project will not be measurable until well after the end of the project) we have developed a framework for the identification and ranking of exploitable results reported in deliverable D10.5. This framework provides us with some quantitative and qualitative indication of the exploitation potential of the project. We have underperformed on the following KPIs: • Downloads and Website hits: we believe this reflects a change in patterns of access. Our ISSU impressions growth demonstrates the project is getting wide dissemination. • We are still underperforming on workshops. This year we ran two scientific workshops at IJCAI and ECAI that bolstered our numbers somewhat. In addition we ran the policy event and will run the Innovation event to reach the wider community of interest in Smart Society.

6.1 Managing Project Assets Deliverables 10.5 and 10.6 provide an extensive report on our approach and methodology for the management, exploitation and sustainability of Smart Society assets. By systematically assessing opportunities and selecting promising candidate KETs. This has led to the success in the FET innovation Launchpad funding stream and the establishment of the Smart Collectives site that provides access to all the main project components in a way that allows easy use of our components. Deliverables 10.5 and 10.6 provide a full explanation of our approach.

Dissemination Report

This section provides some supporting detail to the summary table displayed in Section 6. The tables capture some of the key dissemination actions we undertook during year four of the project.

7.1 Website and Social Media The website continues to be the main clearing house for access to papers and other project outputs. The World-Wide Web is an extremely dynamic place and practice changes quite rapidly. One area experiencing rapid change is in the use of downloads. Since the beginning of the project we have used ISSU as an important mechanism to disseminate our work. This has been very successful and we are seeing ever increasing numbers of impressions and reads from ISSU. It has now become the preferred route to access academic output from the project.

7.2 Publications The table below is a summary list of the main academic outputs over year four of the project. This list takes us well over the KPI target for academic output in year four.

7.3 Community The table below documents talks given by SmartSociety consortium members in 2016.

We continue to work closely with a range of partner projects in developing the CAS research community: • The ESSENCE ITN provides good linkage with PhD training in the area and members of the SmartSociety project are actively involved in this group. • The HAIDM 2016 workshop saw extensive representation of SmartSociety members on the programme committee and the event reflected many SmartSociety concerns • The FoCAS CSA completed its work early in 2016. We participated in the final event in Edinburgh where the projects contributed to the development of video materals and a “tube map” of the overall cluster of projects. • SOCIAM/Zooniverse: This is a particularly productive collaboration because Zooniverse is fully deployed and so can generate data from a large population of users. The main focus has been on a range of experiments in the use of incentives. This has seen: o The use of the incentive server as an experimental tool for joint work between SOCIAM and SmartSociety. o The deployment of the incentive server as a component in the Zooniverse infrastructure. o The Zooniverse project was also a key participant in the ultimately unsuccessful COHUMAN proposal submitted to FET-Proactive. • ITEE: Edinburgh worked on this WIDESPREAD stage 1 project to build a business case for a Centre of Excellence in the Connected Digital Economy. Much of the thinking around the Centre was influenced by the work of the SmartSociety project. Unfortunately the stage 2 proposal was unsuccessful but it appears a second attempt on the next round of stage 2 proposals may be possible. • EIT Digital: DFKI, Trento and Edinburgh are all fully engaged with EIT Digital projects. The Data Safe Havens project is a large-scale health related project using secure cloud technologies. This is entering its second year and will deploy the technology in 2017. • 17-18 Feb 2016 Alan Turing Institute Workshop “Algorithm Society”: Organised by Edinburgh and Oxford, this workshop explored the role of algorithms embedded in large-scale CASs in shaping our society. The goal is to explore the ethics and policy area using ideas developed in WP1 as well as technical areas such as incentives and the sharing economy. This was very successful and has led on © SmartSociety Consortium 2013 - 2017

to work on the ethics of algorithms and contributed to the development of the Social Charter for Platform Technologies developed under WP1. 9-11 July HAIDM workshop collocated with IJCAI. This continued the Smart Society association with this workshop and provided us with a venue for scientific dissemination of SmartSociety work at IJCAI. 29 Aug-02 Sep ECAI workshop on Diversity in AI: brought together the range of researchers working on diversity. We will continue to work with the ESSENCE ITN in the delivery of summer school and workshop activity as part of their PhD training programme. The Atelier at the third summer school developed valuable learning materials for the Smart Collectives components. The Social Charter for Platform technologies is a major output of the Smart Society project and it provides “healthiness” conditions on the institutional framework surrounding platforms. On 6 Dec 2016 we held a successful policy event in Brussels that brought together a range of interested parties to discuss these issues and launch the charter.

7.4 Innovation Deliverable 10.6 reports on the exploitation and sustainability of the outputs of Smart Society. Because we have limited resources we were limited to developing business models for four Key Enabling Technologies. One of these was selected to receive FET Innovation Launchpad funding. In addition joint work with the Semantic Nurse project was also funded under this scheme. The Smart Collectives framework (http://www.smartcollectives.com) provides a good platform for innovation in HDA-CASs. On 15 Feb 2017 we will run an Innovation Event at the EIT Digital Berlin colocation centre to publicise the outputs of the project to innovators and entrepreneurs. A major initiative during 2016 has been the deployment of the Smart Share system in two Italian municipalities. This has been challenging in terms of effort, development towards a reliable, trustworthy and deployable system, and in terms of ensuring the legal and ethical frameworks are in place so we can provide a service and use suitably anonymised data for research. Unfortunately due to issues in overcoming the bootstrap issues for public services this was less successfula than we envisaged. However it did demonstrate the robustness of our systems and the potential of the system. We anticipate continuing to see if we can successfully deploy.

7.5 New Proposals In 2016 the SmartSociety consortium expended considerable effort in developing the CO-HUMAN proposal directed to the call: FETPROACT-01-2016 in the area of “Future Technologies for Societal Change” where we believed much of the work of the SmartSociety project has relevance. Unfortunately, although the reviewers identified many strengths of the project ultimately it was rejected.

7.6 Public Understanding The Rideshare deployment provided an opportunity directly to showcase the work of the project. This resulted in considerable publicity but very little use of the system. We are continuing our relationship with the municipalities with a view to establishing a strategy for successful deployment. If a user base develops we see this as a means to communicate with a wider public around the Social Charter.

Conclusion

In year four the SmartSociety project continued to deliver high-quality academic output and engagement with the scientific community. In addition it has developed techniques, tools and platforms that allow realistic, at scale, implementations of our techniques to be tested “in the wild”. We have also used the second iteration of the project structure to develop robust components that can be used to develop deployed systems. Our work is being carried on inside a sufficiently strong ethical framework that we can publish results of experiments. The ethics and governance framework that has resulted in the Social Charter also © SmartSociety Consortium 2013 - 2017

provides a basis for debate on the societal use of CASs. This has underpinned our Policy Event in Brussels. SmartSociety project members have good working relationships with other projects and outputs from SmartSociety are being deployed in operational systems and are being used to support experimentation. In addition, we have a robust mechanism to identify and prioritise exploitable results that has created strong Innovation opportunities that have already gained some traction through the FET Innovation Launchpads..
