- 6. New Research Questions ▶ Social media data offers the possibility of studying social processes as they unfold at the level of populations, as an alternative to traditional surveys or interviews. ▶ The data from social media is described as "qualitative data on a quantitative scale" and requires innovative analysis techniques. Social media data and real time analytics

"Thank you for choosing an adorable polar bear," the reply from the WWF said. "We will call you today to set up your adoption." http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-26723457

- 12. New Forms of Data ▶ Internet data, derived from social media and other online interactions (including data gathered by connected people and devices, eg mobile devices, wearable technology, Internet of Things) ▶ Tracking data, monitoring the movement of people and objects (including GPS/geolocation data, traffic and other transport sensor data, CCTV images etc) ▶ Satellite and aerial imagery (eg Google Earth, Landsat, infrared, radar mapping etc) http://www.oecd.org/sti/sci-tech/new-data-for- understanding-the-human-condition.htm
- 13. New Forms of Data Centre for Doctoral Training Much of the value of ‘new forms of data’ lie in the potential for them to be analysed in near real-time, which presents opportunities for revealing phenomena as they unfold, enabling timely response with immediate influence. Such analysis brings distinct new computational requirements, requires new skills, and makes new demands on the ease of use and capability of the national e-Infrastructure. http://www.esrc.ac.uk/funding-and-guidance/postgraduates/dtc/ dtc-policy/commissioning-of-centres-for-doctoral-training.aspx
- 14. A rehearsal for the future ▶ The Internet of Things describes a world in which everyday objects are connected to a network so that data can be shared ▶ But it is really as much about people as the inanimate object ▶ It is impossible to anticipate all the social changes that could be created by connecting billions of devices https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/internet-of-things-blackett-review

- 16. PETRAS Privacy, Ethics, Trust, Reliability, Acceptability, and Security for the Internet of Things • The fusion of the cyber, physical and human elements • Scale: from 1mm3 devices to large infrastructure systems • Managing devices throughout their (decades long) lifetimes • New and evolving threat landscape • Continue to operate when partially compromised The Challenges are numerous • Safety vs Security • Security vs Efficiency • Hardening vs Adaptive Response Tradeoffs

- 19. Real life is and must be full of all kinds of social constraint – the very processes from which society arises. Computers can help if we use them to create abstract social machines on the Web: processes in which the people do the creative work and the machine does the administration... The stage is set for an evolutionary growth of new social engines. The ability to create new forms of social process would be given to the world at large, and development would be rapid. Berners-Lee, Weaving the Web, 1999 (pp. 172–175) Social Machines
