Title : Towards a Trustworthy Software Ecosystem
Abstract
Software forms an intrinsic and indivisible element of the emergent cyberspace domain, yet is contingent upon a variety of diverse participants – private firms, non-profit organisations, governments and individuals. It is therefore vital that intrinsic challenges to software are recognised and treated such that a Trustworthy Software Ecosystem can be formed. This presentation discusses the current landscape, and suggests a consensus, standards driven approach to improvement of the software ecosystem.

Title : Innovating for Life in ICT
Abstract
Today’s new information and communication technologies are often multifunctional and multifaceted. The new innovative value does no longer come from improving devices and technical artefacts but from finding new uses for existing technologies. For instance, no essential changes need to be made to Internet applications in order to create new services such as Facebook and thousands of new applications. This means that the technology innovation process is changing. The traditional innovation practice that was based on the design of new development methods and techniques is no longer sufficient. It is essential to develop new ways of thinking for technologies' use.
Life-based design is a typical example of a modern technology innovation process: it firstly pays attention to find new usage and functions where technology can fit and only after that to technical details realization. Life-based design pre-supposes a new type of innovation process management. This type of innovation management considers innovation as human thinking, and guides innovation processes by means of human technology interaction ontologies. Typical examples of life-based innovation thinking are People-net and technology of loneliness.
