Digital and interactive technologies are becoming increasingly embedded in everyday lives of people around the world. Application of technologies such as real-time, context-aware, and interactive technologies; augmented and immersive realities;, social media; and location-based services has been particularly evident in urban environments where technological and sociocultural infrastructures enable easier deployment and adoption as compared to non-urban areas. There has been growing consumer demand for new forms of experiences and services enabled through these emerging technologies. We call this ambient media, as the media is embedded in the natural human living environment. This workshop focuses on ambient media services, applications, and technologies that promote people’s engagement in creating and re-creating liveliness in urban environments, particularly through arts, culture, and gastronomic experiences. The workshop takes a multidisciplinary and future oriented approach, and welcomes participants from diverse disciplinary domains for open discussions about technological, sociocultural, and content-related aspects of ambient media services that support people’s engagement i

Issues & Approach in Defining a European Research Agenda on Information Systems and Management in Creative eMedia Industries

According Gartner, media industries are the third largest spender in IT infrastructure, software, and hardware after banking and manufacturing industries. Newcomers in media industries utilize latest technologies to produce, manage, and distribute their content in a way the consumer would like to enjoy digital content with their rich new content offerings. Amazon, Apple, Facebook, or Google are just the prime examples for companies attracting many new consumers with their innovative content offerings. Their IT infrastructures are centred on the management of digital content throughout their software solutions to manage digital rights, apply data mining, or their customer relationship management software. Within the scope of this position paper the challenge is to pinpoint to the importance of defining a research agenda on information systems and management in creative media industries, to create a holistic vision of eMedia industries in total – from traditional towards fully digital media industries

Presentation of a Research Design for Evaluating the Innovativeness of Ambient Media

Innovations in media business have a long history, as new technologies let new forms of media emerge. Today - in the world of ubiquitous and pervasive computation - this technology lets a new form of media emerge: ambient media. One simple example are public screens where people can interact with the displayed content. The aim of this publication is to discuss ambient media as innovation driven by entrepreneurs in the world of media, the principles how they can be managed, and what is needed to make them to a success. However, at this stage solely the research design is presented within the scope of this paper, as the research work is currently in progress. As examples act entries submitted to the Nokia Ubimedia MindTrek Award by conducting interviews and analyzing the entries of the winners of the competition

A COMPREHENSIVE SURVEY ON BIG-DATA RESEARCH AND ITS IMPLICATIONS – WHAT IS REALLY ‘NEW’ IN BIG DATA? - IT’S COGNITIVE BIG DATA!

What is really ‘new’ in Big Data? – Big Data seems to be a hype that has been emerging during the past years. But it requires a more thorough discussion beyond the very common 3V (velocity, volume, and variety) approach. We established an expert group to re-discuss the notion of Big Data, identify new characteristics, and re-think what actually really is new in the idea of Big Data by analysing over 100 literature resources. We identified typical baseline scenarios (traffic, business processes, retail, health, and social media) as starting point, from which we explored the notion of Big Data from a different viewpoint. We concluded, that the idea of Big Data is simply not new, as well as we need to re-think our approach towards Big Data. We introduce a fully new way of thinking about Big Data, and coin it as the trend of ‘Cognitive Big Data’. The publications introduces a basic framework for our research results. However, this work remains work-in-progress, and we will continue with a refinement of the Cognitive Big Data Framework in one future publication
