2nd International Data Science Conference 2019
2019-05-22 - 2019-05-24 | Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, Urstein Süd, Puch bei Hallein, 5412, Austria
Organizations have moved already from the rigid structure of classical project management towards the adoption of agile approaches. This holds also true for software development projects, which need to be flexible to adopt to rapid requests of clients as well to reflect changes that are required due to architectural design decisions. With data science having established itself as corner stone within organizations and businesses, it is now imperative to perform this crucial step for analytical business processes as well. The non-deterministic nature of data science and its inherent analytical tasks require an interactive approach towards an evolutionary step-by-step development to realize core essential business applications and use-cases.

The 2nd International Data Science Conference (iDSC 2019) brings together researchers, scientists, and business experts to discuss means of establishing new ways of embracing agile approaches within the various domains of data science, such as machine learning and AI, data mining, or visualization and communication as well as case studies and best-practices from leading research institutions and business companies.
The RSA FG will attend this conference.

Kick-off Workshop: InDI - Industrial Data Initiative
2019-04-03 13:00 - 16:00 (Europe/Vienna) | Business Upper Austria, Hafenstraße 47-51, Linz, 4020, Austria
Motivation
Aufbauend auf Szenarien der Industrie 4.0 fokussieren wir uns auf den Aspekt der zugrundeliegenden Daten. Es geht um maschinennahe Datengewinnung aus Produktion und Betrieb, um Datentransfer, Analytics, neue datengetriebene Service- und Betriebsmodelle und um neue unternehmensübergreifende Wertschöpfungsketten mit starkem Digital-Anteil.
Dabei kommt es neben technischem Know-how vermehrt auch auf “weichere” Faktoren an, wie Datensouveränität, Trust, das rechtlich-vertragliche Umfeld, und natürlich auf Geschäftsmodelle.
Im Rahmen der InDI wollen wir vertrauensvolle Plattformen für den Erfahrungsaustausch und fürs Experimentieren schaffen und konkrete Kooperationsprojekte initiieren.
Damit digitale Innovation real wird.
Zielgruppe
Alle, die das Potenzial der Datenfülle in ihren Industrieunternehmen besser nutzen und so zum nachhaltigen Erfolg ihres Unternehmens im digitalen Zeitalter beitragen möchten.
Agenda

Impuls: Industrial Data Space – die Basics (Tbc)
World-Café 1 “Themen”
World-Café 2 “Formate”
Förderoptionen: in Richtung konkrete Kooperation

Towards Value-Centric Big Data: Connect People, Processes and Technology
2019-04-02 09:30 | IMEC-SMIT-VUB, Boulevard de la Plaine 9, Etterbeek, Brussels, 1050, Belgium
The need for privacy-preserving technologies grows continuously with information systems becoming increasingly networked within organisations and civil society, and datasets getting larger and more heterogeneous. However, although many big data solutions affect society as a whole, privacy-preserving technologies are integrated into them only to a limited extent.
When taking a closer look at the situation, one notices quickly that there is a rather low demand for big data solutions that help protect privacy. It seems that users and citizens are blinded by the benefits they get in return for their personal data and that operators can well live with the current situation.
It would be important to embed security and privacy features based on these technologies in big data solutions. The technologies would have to be configured to provide a high level of privacy protection by default. While current research offers strong solutions, these solutions are rarely used in practice.
There is a strong need to consider people, process and technology at the same time when it comes to making value-centric big data a reality.
This e-SIDES workshop aims to gather all actors whose work and active engagement can promote responsible research and innovation in the field of big data paving the way to design and deploy the next generation of big data solutions.
This event is a key opportunity not only for people from science, industry and politics but also for representatives of civil society organisations to contribute to the debate on how big data solutions can be developed and used in a responsible way, protecting societal values to the greatest possible extent.
The workshop will be highly interactive and call for attendees’ contribution to the discussion. The morning session will be dedicated to high level keynote speakers and presentations, while the afternoon session will host the knowledge café “towards responsible big data”.

AI Law & Ethics Conference
2019-02-28 09:00 - 18:30 | Martin’s Klooster Hotel, Onze-Lieve-Vrouwstraat 18, Leuven, 3000, Belgium
Through the looking glass of AI platforms: Between global governance and techno-regulation?
The Centre for IT & IP Law is organizing a conference on AI Law & Ethics on the 28th of February.
The advancement in data science, together with the growing availability of data have contributed to the flourishing of inter-operable platforms, where AI is increasingly used. The conference will focus on the multilevel legal and ethical challenges regarding the impact of consumer and industrial platforms on consumers, contributors and end-users.
The increasing availability of these data by platforms risks creating potential power asymmetries between individuals and companies with a consequential lowering of individual legal protections.
The conference moves from the assumption that the interoperability of these platforms should be ensured not only at a technical level but also at a legal and ethical one.
The conference aims to explore whether this could be obtained through a commonly agreed (global) governance model that can ensure a ‘sustainable’ evolution of these platforms.
