A second series of hit BBC drama 'The Night Manager' has been confirmed.
Director Susanne Bier has revealed a script for a follow-up was "slowly being developed".
The original series - starring Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie and Olivia Colman - was based on John le Carre's 1993 novel.
However, a second series is more complicated, as the author never wrote a second book to adapt the script from.
Susan told Broadcast: "We all very much want to do a season two, but the thing we absolutely do not want is to do something that does not live up to the level of season one.
"That would be a really bad idea."
'The Night Manager' proved to be a massive hit when it first aired last year, attracting between eight and 10 million viewers, while its three stars won Golden Globes and the director won an Emmy.
Tom, who played Inspector Jonathan Pine, was previously unsure if he would be reprising his role, telling Entertainment Weekly: "I think we're all aware that there is an appetite for more, but it really lies with the author, as it should, and if he can see a way for them to continue in a framework that fits his original conception. That's all I know for now."
It was recently announced that the team behind the series are set to adapt another of John Le Carré's classic espionage novels, 'The Spy Who Came In From The Cold'.
The book - released in 1963 - was set during the Cold War, just after the construction of the Berlin Wall.
Piers Wenger, controller of BBC Drama, said: "Following the huge global success of 'The Night Manager', it's a privilege to announce that John Le Carré will return to BBC One with one of the best spy thrillers ever written."

The evolution of political networks: Evidence from the Council of the European Union
We test two of the main explanations of the formation of political ties. The first states that political actors are more likely to form a relationship if they have similar policy preferences. The second explanation, from network theory, predicts that the likelihood of a tie between two actors depends on the presence of certain relationships with other actors. Our data consist of a unique combination of actors' policy positions and their network relations over time in the Council of the European Union. We find evidence that both types of explanations matter, although there seems to be variation in the extent to which preference similarity affects network evolution. We consider the implications of these findings for understanding the decision-making in the Council. Finally, we speculate how the Brexit could affect the cooperation network in the Council.

Who is the data curator? Findings from an IFLA Project
A variety of alternative vocabularies and competency lists for RDM have been deployed to describe the same or similar practices, reflecting the diverse environments in which data are now archived, as well as an evolving understanding of what services entail in practice. Terms such as "data curation," "digital curation," or "research data management" are often used interchangeably. Moreover, there are striking differences in both the understanding and application of basic RDM, especially "data curation," among countries and regions around the world. This presentation will share the findings a research project sponsored by the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA), under the auspices of its Library Theory and Research (LTR) Section. The primary objective of the project was to identify the characteristic tasks and responsibilities of data curators in both international and interdisciplinary contexts. One of the main intents of the project was to identify a set of terms (a vocabulary) and possibly an ontology related to Digital Curation by analysing relevant textual data in the field.

Logic-based approaches for Healthcare
This talk shows different logic-based approaches to detect and resolve conflicts in the treatment of multiple chronic conditions, and model and compare treatment options for chronic conditions.
We developed an automated approach focusing on the composition of (static or behavioural) design models via constraint solvers. This approach is directly applicable to many different domains, and can be used for the detection of conflicts in clinical pathways. Clinical pathways are care plans which detail essential steps in the care of patients with a specific clinical problem, usually a chronic disease. A pathway includes recommendations of medications prescribed at different stages of the care plan. For patients with three or more chronic diseases (known as multimorbidities) the multiple pathways have to be applied together. One common problem for such patients is the possible adverse interaction between medications given for different diseases. In this context, we have used an optimising SMT solver (Z3) to quickly find the set of medications with the minimal number and severity of conflicts which is assumed to be the safest. In our approach we can vary the measures of interest to obtain different outcomes and generate the best option, second best, etc. We use a combination of SMT solvers and theorem provers for checking correctness.
Conversely, automata can be used to capture the stages and treatment options for a chronic disease, where traces in the model highlight different treatments plans that patients can follow. Adding further information to such models allow us to explore extensions and combinations of different variants of timed automata and associated tools in different ways. We can combine patient information and comorbidities with the disease automaton through composition. We have explored the use of model checking as an analysis technique to provide further insights into the effectiveness/completeness of treatment plans for a given patient.

Current & future collaborations with Mathematics & Statistics
The objective of this presentation is to stimulate new research collaborations between CIS and the department of Mathematics and Statistics (M&S) at Strathclyde. Our research is almost exclusively problem driven and it would be fair to say that everyone uses computer programming in their research to a greater or lesser degree. I am convinced that there are mutually beneficial research collaborations that could be established between our two groups of academics. So I have put this to my colleagues and asked those that are up for the challenge to give me material for this presentation and to spell out where they think the opportunities lie. Hopefully this will stimulate discussion. In a reciprocal manner, there will of course be research activity in CIS where you feel mathematics and statistics could have a role and I would be keen to hear about those too. Can I invite attendees to have a perusal of the following pages beforehand to stimulate ideas.

The Use of Proximity-Based Digital Storytelling to Promote City Cultural Heritage
This talk describes a research investigation in Hamilton, Canada concerning the use of iBeacons - a proximity-based technology - to share digital stories about a city's history. Proximity-based technologies allow users to receive information automatically when they are close to a physical spot. The purpose of the investigation was to test the viability of using iBeacons as a means of raising interest in a city and its cultural heritage. The research involved the setup of iBeacons that disseminated digital stories pertaining to Gore Park - a prominent historical park in the heart of downtown Hamilton. The study included one-on-one interviews and a short survey with 50 participants from the general public immediately after these participants used an iBeacon app to experience digital stories about Gore Park. Findings suggest iBeacons are viable tools to share city cultural heritage stories that yield improved perceptions of a city and greater appreciation for a city's culture and history. Participants were appreciative of the digital stories and the iBeacon app. All participants mentioned that they learned something new about the city and that the app was very informative. Findings indicate that individual differences are important and can affect not only the acceptance and use of an iBeacon digital storytelling app, but also the extent to which the app can promote interest in a city and appreciation for a city's cultural heritage.

AI Planning for Autonomous Systems with ROSPlan
This is a talk for everyone, giving an overview of ROSPlan, a framework for using AI Planning to control autonomous systems. AI Planning is the reasoning before action; a process which generates a structure of actions which, when executed by the agent, is expected to achieve some goals. However, in the real world actions often fail, unexpected events occur, critical information can be missing, or goals change online. On a truly autonomous system, AI Planning becomes one part of a more complex surrounding framework. This talk will provide a broad view of our research, showing how we have been using ROSPlan in a number of real-world applications, including connecting machine-learning and AI Planning for exploration behaviours, formalising and executing plans-as-programs in challenging environments, long-term autonomy in robotics, and generating explanations and justifications during human-robot teaming.

Security challenges within system-of-systems
In this talk, I will discuss the security challenges of managing the control-plane within programmable networks of programmable devices -- such as Software-Defined Networks, IoT, and Connected Manufacturing. While programmable networks promise a number of interesting properties such as greater flexibility of configuration and fine-grained data analytics, they also present significant challenges in system administration. A major barrier to this vision is the holistic understanding of systemic challenges across connectivity, logic, and security, which repeatedly manifests itself in the context of the system of systems problem. Programmability is a huge opportunity however without appropriate security, the strengths of connected systems can be abused to quickly bring the system to its knees. So what are the security challenges involved and how could start doing something about them?

From Couplings to Probabilistic Relational Program Logics
Many program properties are relational, comparing the behavior of a program (or even two different programs) on two different inputs. While researchers have developed various techniques for verifying such properties for standard, deterministic programs, relational properties for probabilistic programs have been more challenging. In this talk, I will survey recent developments targeting a range of probabilistic relational properties, with motivations from privacy, cryptography, machine learning. The key idea is to meld relational program logics with an idea from probability theory, called a probabilistic coupling. The logics allow a highly compositional and surprisingly general style of analysis, supporting clean proofs for a broad array of probabilistic relational properties.
Bio: Justin Hsu is a post-doctoral researcher at the University College of London. He obtained his graduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania.

Machine learning for cancer diagnosis and biomolecular property prediction
Brain tumours reduce life expectancy by, on average, 20 years; the highest of any cancer. Early detection is vital to survival and quality of life, yet one third of patients are only diagnosed after 5 GP visits, and 62% of brain tumours are not diagnosed until an emergency hospital admission [1,2]. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy of serum (blood) samples combined with machine learning provides a fast, non-invasive and non-subjective method for the diagnosis of disease states. Retrospectives studies on a 433 patient biobank dataset show accurate diagnoses of brain tumour patients with high sensitivity and specificity (>90%) [3]. This technology has recently been taken into a clinical setting by ClinSpec Dx - a prospective spinout company from the University of Strathclyde. In this presentation, I will focus on the machine learning methods that are required to make accurate disease diagnoses from FTIR spectral data. Some of these methods have recently be released in the open-source computer program, PRFFECT.

The Metric Approach to Reverse Searching
Searching for complex objects (e.g. images, faces, audio or video), is an everyday problem in computer science, motivated by many applications. Efficient algorithms are demanded for reverse searching, also known as query by content, in large repositories. Current industrial solutions are ad hoc, domain-dependant, hardware intensive and have limited scaling. However, those disparate domains can be modelled, for indexing and searching, as a metric space. This model has been championed to become a solution to generic proximity searching problems. In practice, however, the metric space approach has been limited by the amount of main memory available.
In this talk we will explore the main ideas behind this technology, present a successful example in audio indexing and retrieval. The application scales well for large amounts of audio because the representation is quite compact and the full audio streams are not needed for indexing and searching.

Meta-Ethnography for Theory Building in Library and Information Science
Meta-ethnography is an interpretive method that provides a way to synthesize the findings of two or more qualitative studies concerning a similar research question or topic. Going beyond the traditional literature review, which looks at individual studies, meta-ethnography facilitates generalizations through extracting concepts, metaphors, and themes. This seminar will provide a thorough description of the seven steps of meta-ethnography: getting started, deciding what is relevant to the initial interest, reading the studies, determining how the studies are related, translating the studies into one another, and synthesizing translations.
The need for theoretical foundations for research in the library and information science (LIS) field is well documented and meta-ethnography provides a viable method to follow for theory building. Through synthesizing and reinterpreting previous findings, meta-ethnography allows for gaining deeper understanding of a particular phenomena. Implications for this method and the field of Library and Information Science (LIS), especially in the area of theory building will be discussed. Appropriate examples of actual and potential applications within LIS and related disciplines will be given to illustrate the potential for for the meta-ethnographic method.

Fast-Turnaround Assessment for Just-in-Time Teaching to Maximise Learning
Auto-assessed assignments can make us smug on marking turnaround targets: after a little effort a 120-student class can have assessments returned a few minutes after the submission deadline. But... a complete own goal for formative assessment, surely?
So, this talk is opinion not science! One big drawback is that setting good assessment is difficult, so there's not necessarily a cost saving. But, after a few years of evolution, I have at least some evidence that there exists an overall cost-effective strategy which really encourages students to learn.
I present 117 2nd year students who can do beta reduction, and why I think that's happened... however I'm not an education expert so let's discuss, I won't preach!

Supporting information practices of refugees in transition
This presentation will briefly describe the SpiRiT (Supporting information practices of refugees in transition) program which explores the information practices of refugees as they experience forced migration, transition, and resettlement. Informed by the landscape approach (Lloyd 2006) and the concept of information resilience (Lloyd 2014) the presentation considers what happens when an information landscape fractures. The research findings will also be explored in relation to current work being undertaken to develop the Refugee Framework for Information Literacy (ReFil) and consider the role of libraries in building information resilience.

A structural and nominal syntax for diagrams
The correspondence between various monoidal categories and graphical languages of diagrams has been studied extensively, leading to applications in quantum computing and communication, systems theory, circuit design and more. From the categorical perspectives, diagrams can be specified using (name-free) combinators which enjoy elegant equational properties. However, established notations for diagrammatic structures, such as hardware description languages (VHDL, Verilog) or graph languages (Dot), use a different style, which is flat, relational, and reliant on extensive use of names (labels). Such languages are not known to enjoy nice syntactic equational properties. However, since they make it relatively easy to specify (and modify) arbitrary diagrammatic structures they are much more popular than the combinator-style specifications. This parallels the situation in programming languages, where combinator-based languages (e.g. APL) proved to be far less popular than languages with variables. In this paper we show how the two approaches to diagram syntax can be reconciled and unified in a way that does not change the original categorical semantics and the existing (categorical) equational theory. We also give sound and complete equational theories for the combined syntax.

Deploying predictive analytics to support the tourism industry.
Capturing relationships in large data collections provides the potential to give commercial end users a valuable insight into likely changes in demand for products and services. This talk presents an update on progress since summer 2016 and identifies the data sources and processing techniques that can be used to forecast future business prospects in the hospitality sector. We characterise the accuracy of some predictive models and the insight that these can provide for end users. In particular, we address the architectural requirements for extracting value from historical data collections in an accessible and useful format. The experience leads to an understanding of open questions that need to be addressed in order to facilitate practical approaches to informing organisational decisions in an increasingly data-rich world.

A Language Adaptation approach
Many lesser-resourced languages are related to languages, which have better resources. For example, the Universal Dependency treebank has about 2 million words of training resources for Russian, and only 950 words for Ukrainian. Similarly, the Autodesk Machine Translation dataset only covers three Slavonic languages, while only German is available among the Germanic languages. To address such problems, I suggest a general approach, which can be called Language Adaptation in a way similar to the notion of Domain Adaptation. In this approach, a model for a particular language processing task is built by lexical transfer of cognate words and by learning a new feature representation for a lesser-resourced language starting from a better-resourced one. In this talk I will demonstrate how language adaptation works in such training scenarios as Part-Of-Speech tagging, syntactic parsing and translation quality estimation.

An introduction to Blockchains
Blockchains, i.e. decentralised, distributed data structures which can also carry executable code for a non-standard execution environment, introduce new models of computation. Decentralised, here, means, informally speaking, "without central control", e.g. a currency without a (central) bank, but much more. Blockchains support the recently introduced virtual currencies, a la Bitcoin, and a new class of decentralised applications, including smart contracts. In this talk we will introduce the main aspects of a blockchain, with particular reference to the Bitcoin blockchain as a paradigmatic case of such a new model of computation, and also touching on smart contracts. No previous knowledge of bitcoin/blockchain required for this introductory talk.

Semantics for probabilistic programming
Statistical models in e.g. machine learning are traditionally expressed in some sort of flow charts. Writing sophisticated models succinctly is much easier in a fully fledged programming language. The programmer can then rely on generic inference algorithms instead of having to craft one for each model. Several such higher-order functional probabilistic programming languages exist, but their semantics, and hence correctness, are not clear. The problem is that the standard semantics of probability theory, given by measurable spaces, does not support function types. I will describe how to get around this.

Probabilistic and Stochastic Hybrid Automata and their Abstractions
With the wide applicability of probabilistic and stochastic hybrid systems in the real world, it is now more important than ever to be able to verify these systems for safety and reliability. Hybrid systems can be found any where, from thermostats to processes passing messages. We will discuss the different types of hybrid systems and their discrete abstractions. The probabilistic hybrid systems we will be focusing on are autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles. The abstracted structures allow for existing quantitative and model checking tools to verify and analyse the system.

Do be do be do
We explore the design and implementation of Frank, a strict functional programming language with a bidirectional effect type system designed from the ground up around a novel variant of Plotkin and Pretnar's effect handler abstraction.
Effect handlers provide an abstraction for modular effectful programming: a handler acts as an interpreter for a collection of commands whose interfaces are statically tracked by the type system. However, Frank eliminates the need for an additional effect handling construct by generalising the basic mechanism of functional abstraction itself. A function is simply the special case of a Frank operator that interprets no commands.
Moreover, Frank's operators can be multihandlers which simultaneously interpret commands from several sources at once, without disturbing the direct style of functional programming with values.
Effect typing in Frank employs a novel form of effect polymorphism which avoid mentioning effect variables in source code. This is achieved by propagating an ambient ability inwards, rather than accumulating unions of potential effects outwards.
I'll give a tour of Frank through a selection of concrete examples.

The Internet of Things: A Balance of Benefits and Risks?
Is your fridge or your toaster a smart device? Across the globe, governments and commercial organisations are pushing initiatives to make the Internet of Things (IoT) a reality. This means that devices and objects around us will increasingly interact with each other and with local networks to exchange data. This monitoring and interaction will afford timely feedback and environmental management. Already, smart motorways are helping to reduce traffic congestion and smart homes interact with residents to optimise heating and lighting. Inevitably, risks are also emerging, including the role of IoT devices in recent massive Distributed Denial of Service attacks. Can we look forward to a world that is enhanced through Internet of Things, or will the risks to safety, security and privacy significantly limit its impact?

The problem with working in the university is the university: "Systemic Managerial Constraints" and working in academe
As universities become increasingly bureaucratic, with multiplying administrative and managerial tasks, there is a direct effect on the information behaviour of academics. In addition to an increase in their information needs, both the work academics undertake and the ways in which they accomplish that work are constrained. This presentation discusses the concept of "Systemic Managerial Constraints" (SMC) as a way to understand the pervasive managerialism that results from neoliberal universities and its influences on academics' information behaviour. In addition to examining some of the specific effects of SMC, discussion will centre around the nature of academic work, precarity within academe, collegial amelioration of its effects, and its relationship to the personal agency of academics.

New Dimensions for Metric Search
Metric search is a research domain concerned with finding, from within an unordered and very large space, objects that are similar to another presented as a query. "A solved problem" I hear you shout; look at Google Image search, Shazam, Tineye, etc. Actually, there are only a few very partial solutions, and none of these systems work well when pushed, other than by cheating.
If the space is very large, the solution requires to be scalable; even if we can calculate similarity in a microsecond, which we can't, 10^12 microseconds is still more than a week. So we rely on the metric properties of the space; by organising the data cleverly, through calculating distances, it is possible to avoid searching almost all of the space. However, such techniques work very well only for low "dimensionality" spaces, and typically fail when the object domain is complex.
So we resort to some clever maths. Proper metric spaces turn out to be semi-metric spaces with certain finite embedding properties; in fact, they are 3-embeddable in 2D Euclidean space. Our new result here is that many metric spaces, including the most useful, have a much stronger property: they are {n+1}-embeddable in n-dimensional Euclidean space. This gives us much sharper properties for excluding subspaces from searches. (Don't worry if you don't know what all this means, it is easy and will be explained in pictures!)
We have found two such properties, and dramatically improved the state of the art search times. We're sure there are others, probably lurking in the higher dimensions where it's much harder to think intuitively. So join us in the search, especially if you can think in more then three dimensions!
This research, performed mostly in early 2016, has already resulted in: an unconditionally accepted publication in ACM Trans. Inf. Sys.; the Best Paper award at SISAP 2016; and an invited paper in a special issue of Elsevier Inf. Systems. Not to mention being rejected out of hand for EPSRC funding!

Economic Interactions: Formal Models of Search Behavior
Understanding how people interact when searching is central to the study of Interactive Information Retrieval (IIR). Most of the prior work has either been conceptual, observational or empirical. While this has led to numerous insights and findings regarding the interaction between users and systems, the theory has lagged behind. In this talk, I will first provide an overview of the IIR process. Then I will introduce an economic model of search based on production theory. This model not only describes the search process but lets us explain observed search behaviors and to generate a series of interaction-based hypotheses regarding search behavior. To validate the model, I will show how the observed search behaviors from an empirical study with thirty-six participants were consistent with the theory. This work, not only, describes a concise and compact representation of search behavior, but also provides a strong theoretical basis for future IIR research. The modeling techniques used are also more generally applicable to other situations involving Human Computer Interaction, and could be helpful in understand many other scenarios.
The talk will be based on the following papers:

This is inconsistent by Bertrand Russell's famous observation of 1901 that {a | a ∉ a} ∈ {a | a ∉ a} if and only if {a | a ∉ a} ∉ {a | a ∉ a}. Solutions proposed included Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory, simple type theory, and Quine's New Foundations (NF). NF works by restricting comprehension to stratifiable formulae; those in which variables can be assigned 'levels', which are natural numbers, such that if a ∈ b occurs and a has level n, then b must have level n+1. Russell's example is ruled out because a ∉ a cannot be stratified.
Consistency of NF has been an open problem since it was proposed by Quine in 1937. I will present a claimed proof of consistency of Quine's NF (the paper is available here and on arXiv, and is under review). In use, NF feels more like a simple type theory than it does a set theory, and there are deep reasons for this which come out in my proof. My proof, while ostensibly about set theory, is actually about applying ideas from rewriting and computing to ideas from set theory, along with a pinch of non-Tarskian thinking about what binders (including forall and lambda) are.
In my talk I will present the proof with an emphasis on the implications that this specific result has more generally for the theory of computing.

Towards A Process View of Missing Data: A Case Study of Working at the Alan Turing Institute
In this talk, I will introduce the Alan Turing Institute for Data Science, the UK's primary data science institute. After outlining the Turing Institute's structure and the opportunities it presents to researchers, I will present a case study of how I have been using the Turing's resources and collaboration opportunities to examine process models of missing data. Missing data is, colloquially speaking, data that should be there, but isn't. Traditional statistical methods have focused on imputing the missing data where necessary. My approach is somewhat different in that I am interested in the processes that underlie data generation. I argue that health care data is often missing for a reason, and that understanding those reasons helps us interpret and analyse the data that is present. I will exemplify this approach by using activity trackers.

Data Scientists - The New Unicorns of the Bay
In 2014, Luke Dicken relocated to the Bay Area to take a position as a "Senior Data Scientist" at a leading mobile games company. But what is Data Science? What does it mean to be a Data Scientist and how is that distinct from disciplines like Analytics and Product Management? In this session, Luke will discuss the Bay's new hot trendy role - how a small team can make a big difference and what key skills go into delivering exceptional value as a Data Scientist, in order to better enable educators to prepare students for the new industry craze (or tempt them out of the ivory towers themselves!)

Expressive data types for programming languages and verification
This talk will give a basic introduction to Martin-Löf Type Theory without assuming any background knowledge of the audience, with the goal of reaching some current work of mine towards the end. Martin-Löf's dependent type theory is both a foundational framework for mathematics, and a functional programming language with a very rich type system. Of course, we want this language to have a rich notion of data structure as well. I will review some classes of data types that one can add to dependent type theory in order to increase its expressiveness. In particular, I will discuss data types with so-called higher dimensional structure -- this can be used to identify data that should be treated equivalently. We will see how such data types can be used to formalise programming languages and verify programs, e.g. by representing permutation-invariance, compiler optimisations, or databases without a bias of concrete representation.

What is a good bijection? A case study on pattern-avoiding permutations.
A bijection is a one-to-one correspondence between two sets. Usually, there is more than one way to build a bijection between equinumerous sets (and there are of course many if the sets aren't very small and we don't care whether the bijections are intelligible). What is a good bijection between two sets? Is it one that is easy to describe? Or, is it one that better illuminates structural similarity between the sets in question? Even though the answer "it depends" is acceptable here, much more can be said under certain assumptions in certain situations. I will illustrate this idea by going through a remarkable story of a problem in the theory of permutation patterns.
This talk will be accessible for a general audience.

How busy will Glasgow be next week? An investigation of Glasgow busyness data.
Information on how busy the city is going to be can be extremely valuable to city businesses and service providers. In a short DataLab funded project with Glasgow City Council we are looking into predictive models for Glasgow busyness. We have data on hotel bookings, flight searches and live footfall data from key points around the city. In this talk we will give an overview of the patterns we have found in this data, the inherent noisyness of flight search data and our first attempts at predicting future busyness.

CS Education: Past, Present and Future. A personal perspective.
CIS celebrates it's 50th anniversary in 2017. 2017 is also the 40th anniversary of the class of '77. Does a comparison of the last 40 years of CS Education have any bearing or influence on what CS Education might look like in the (near) future? Note: this is a personal perspective and it is expected that the audience will disagree with some - or all! - of my presentation. The purpose of the seminar is to generate discussion on how CS Education may evolve for future generations of CS students.

"Oh Mom, Look it up on the Internet!" Seniors and Technology: Lifelong Readers, E-books, and Everyday Life
The extensive literature on the digital divide and media discourse suggests that seniors continue to lag behind in access to the Internet, digital skills, and engagement in various online activities. Much of the research, however, gains insight from large-scale survey research and neglects to examine the challenges and opportunities that digital seniors, those who are connected, experience in their everyday use of ICTs. We employed the theoretical lens of ICT use in the context of everyday life to inform our study. Through a survey and interviews with seniors we investigate how this population views their own digital skills, barriers to digital literacy, and who supports them in gaining literacy. Twenty-one digital seniors aged 60+ took part in semi-structured, in-depth interviews about how ICTs influenced routines and practices in their everyday life such as news consumption, library use, information seeking, and reading. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using grounded theory. Surveys were analyzed through descriptive statistics. Three key findings emerged. First, digital seniors are developing new practices and routines around their ICT use, these are novel and emerge out of ICTs' affordances. Second, digital seniors are creating hybrid practices, where they seamlessly combine traditional habits with new ones emerging from ICT use. Finally, digital seniors are recreating existing practices with digital means, i.e., the digital enhances or sometimes even replaces traditional practices. We find that agency is central to our understanding of digital seniors' adoption and use of ICTs, they critically consider various options, and make choices around their preferences, convenience of use, and affordability. For digital seniors, ICT use is not a binary because they want to have the flexibility to choose for themselves under what circumstances and for what purposes the use of ICTs is appropriate. Seniors recognize their age as a factor in the adoption of technology and they note differences between how they and younger generations use technology. Lack of skills and sometimes-limited support make it difficult for seniors to gain experience and comfort with technology. However, support systems such as family and peers can help mediate senior's experiences with technology. The Seniors Digital Literacy Paradox is proposed as a model for understanding the needs of seniors in gaining digital literacy.

A Compositional Approach to Game Theory
I will sketch an alternative approach to economic game theory based upon the computer science idea of compositionality: concretely we i) give a number of operators for building up complex and irregular games from smaller and simpler games; and ii) show how the Nash equilibrium of these complex games can be defined recursively from their simpler components. We apply compositional reasoning to sophisticated games where agents must reason about how their actions affect future games and how those future games effect the utility they receive. This forces us into a second innovation - we augment the usual lexicon of games with a dual notion to utility because, in order for games to accept utility, this utility must be generated by other games. Our third innovation is to represent our games as string diagrams so as to give a clear visual interface to manipulate them. Our fourth, and final, innovation is a categorical formalisation of these intuitive diagrams which ensures our reasoning about them is fully rigorous.
The talk will be general so as appeal to as wide an audience as possible. In particular, no knowledge of category theory will be assumed!

Formal languages, coinductively formalized
Formal languages and automata are taught to every computer science student. However, the student will most likely not see the beautiful coalgebraic foundations.
In this talk, I recapitulate how infinite tries can represent formal languages (sets of strings). I explain Agda's coinduction mechanism based on copatterns and demonstrate that it allows an elegant representation of the usual language constructions like union, concatenation, and Kleene star, with the help of Brzozowski derivatives. We will also investigate how to reason about equality of languages using bisimulation and coinductive proofs.

Knowledge Capture and Representation in the Intensive Care Unit Domain
Intensive Care Units (ICUs) can be considered as complex environments where optimum decision making in these environments is challenging: clinicians work in complicated, time-sensitive, stressful and interruption-laden environments and are expected to make life-critical decisions whilst affected by external factors such as long working hours and sleep deprivation. Critical care medicine is one of the most technology-led medical domains and an increasing use of technology to collect, store and manage patient information is leading to significant amounts of additional data being made available from numerous devices (e.g. physiological monitoring equipment). Whilst this data is potentially very valuable, to use it to support decision making, clinicians are required to acquire, process, distribute, integrate, search, and archive it - tasks which can be difficult to perform in a complex environment. Increasingly there is a role for computing research fields, such as artificial intelligence, to provide tools to support clinicians in this area. In this talk I will overview selected works I have been conducting in this medical domain, specifically projects exploring the capture, representation and subsequent refinement of medical knowledge for use in intelligent systems, the application of semantic web technologies for inference and generation of knowledge from patient data, and the use of argumentation logic for justification of clinical decision support systems.

Exploring perceptions of user authentication schemes
User authentication plays a key role in securing computer systems. However, widely used schemes like passwords have well documented weaknesses. Research has shown that these weaknesses often result from user actions that undermine the security of the schemes. Although in some cases these actions are the consequence of poor usability design, recent research suggests that they often reflect a limit in the amount of security related actions users are willing to accept. Behaviour models like the technology acceptance model suggest that user perceptions affect their behavioural intentions and drive their behaviour. So, in order to fully understand user authentication behaviour and improve the design and application of the schemes, it is necessary to explore how the users perceive them and to identify the factors that shape these perceptions.
In this talk I will present the work I have been doing with some colleagues in this area. In particular I will present the design and results of a number of user studies we have conducted focusing on the perceived usefulness, ie perceived security, of different authentication schemes and the development of a model for user authentication security perceptions.

Improving Access to Personal Informatics: The Quantified Self Challenge
With more and more wearable devices and smartphone apps being released that are capable of unobtrusively recording various aspects of our life, we are currently witnessing the emergence of a new trend. Followers of this trend rely on these apps and devices to track their everyday activities and to gain insights into their personal well-being. In this presentation, I will give an introduction into challenges and opportunities that emerge when capturing and analysing personal data using wearable devices. Moreover, I will introduce NTCIR-Lifelog, an evaluation campaign that intends to encourage research and advances in organising and retrieving from such personal data.

Grey Areas: What aspects of design quality can be determined from the design alone?
Software design assessment is a highly subjective task. In recent years, there has been an increasing adoption of metrics to establish minimum quality bounds for software designs. Metric suites can identify common design problems, but can be difficult to interpret. More complex quality models are often not portable between systems. The question of how much of the design assessment can be automated remains open and contentious.
This work investigates the relationship between practitioner attitudes to design quality, the relevance of existing design guidelines, and the properties of software designs in the wild. Insights include - practitioner attitudes to design quality, relevance of design guidelines to current practice, characterising use of design elements (interfaces and inheritance), and discussion of the limitations of metric-based design assessment.

Sorting Sheep from Goats - Automatically Clustering and Classifying Program Failures
In recent years, software testing research has produced notable advances in the area of automated test data generation. It is now possible to take an arbitrary system and automatically generate volumes of high-quality test data. But the problem of checking the correctness or otherwise of the outputs (termed the "oracle problem") still remains. This talk examines how machine learning techniques can be used to cluster and classify test outputs to separate failing and passing cases. The feasibility of the approach is demonstrated and shown to have the potential to reduce by an order of magnitude the numbers of outputs that need to be examined following a test run.
This is joint work carried out with Rafig Almaghairbe.

Matching in Practice: Junior Doctor Allocation and Kidney Exchange
Matching problems typically involve assigning agents to commodities, possibly on the basis of ordinal preferences or other metrics. These problems have large-scale applications to centralised matching schemes in many countries and contexts. In this talk I will describe the matching problems featuring in two such schemes in the UK that have involved collaborations between the National Health Service and the University of Glasgow. One of these dealt with the allocation of junior doctors to Scottish hospitals (1999-2012), and the other is concerned with finding kidney exchanges among incompatible donor-patient pairs across the UK (2007-date). In each case I will describe the applications, present the underlying algorithmic problems, outline the computational methods for their solution and give an overview of results arising from real data connected with the matching schemes in recent years.

An Ensemble Architecture for Generalised Video Game Playing
Generalised Video Game Playing (GVGP) is a field of research directed at creating artificial intelligent agents to be placed in unknown video game scenarios and still perform well. In 2014, a GVGP competition was created (by Diego Perez and others at the University of Essex) to encourage research and experimentation in this area. On the first run of this competition, Monte Carlo Tree Search was found to be highly successful at many games - however there were some games where it did not fare so well - ones involving long term goals, in particular. In more recent research on Atari 2600 games, the research group at Google Deep Mind applied deep reinforcement learning to a collection of 49 games. The research learns a reactive policy - for some games this works extremely well, but for others something is missing. Again, the missing element seems to be something that addresses long-term goals. In this research, we present an ensemble architecture for a decision making agent, consisting of multiple decision making components or "Voices". The voices used in this work include a short-range, reactive voice, a medium-range search voice based on simulation and a long-range voice based on an abstracted world and planning. These voices all report to a central arbitration component, which uses the advice given by the voices to make the final decision.
This is joint work with Damien Anderson and Phil Rodgers.

Decomposing recurrent states of the Abelian Sandpile Model
The Abelian Sandpile Model (ASM) is a dynamic process on a graph, which has attracted a considerable amount of attention down through the years. One fundamental aspect of ASM research concerns the study of the recurrent states of the model; those states that appear infinitely often in the long-time running of the model. We present several new results for classifying recurrent states of the Abelian sandpile model on graphs that may be decomposed in a variety of ways. These results represent an enormous computational saving with respect to existing classification results.

Mapping the Journey: Curriculum Graphs and Education Technology
We arrange our classes in a dependency graph. I find it useful to push the same sort of structure down a level, the better to organise the broad topics within a class, and even sometimes to structure the process of learning a topic. "Where am I in this picture?" is the question the students should ask themselves: we can make it easy for them to find the answer. I'll consider curriculum and topic maps as a source of structure for online teaching and assessment activities, with strong potential for enhanced analytics. I'll talk about and show a few things I'm already doing, and speculate about other things it would be good to do if we put our minds to it.

Making sense of social network data for smart city applications
The wide use of social networks and richness of interactions between users and their physical environments through these, has generated in the last few years a wealth of information that quantifies the citizens' and visitors' experience of their surroundings. Most of these data is easily accessible through publicly available APIs and in fact, several researchers have demonstrated in their work the value of this data in applications such as tourism or urban planning. There remain, however, several important problems with the use of such data, which have not been yet addressed in scientific research. The handling of redundant or obsolete data regarding venues that are no longer in operation, the fusion of data from multiple social networks, the exploration of causal relationships between data indicators, the semantics of captured data and the verification of the reliability of this data in terms of capturing urban dynamics, are hard issues that remain unexplored. The talk discusses some of the open issues in this field of research and preliminary steps towards addressing these, with the hope to stimulate an active discussion on ways forward for research.

Games on interval and permutation graph representations
We describe combinatorial games on graphs in which two players antagonistically build a representation of a subgraph of a given graph. We show that for a large class of these games, determining whether a given instance is a winning position for the next player is PSPACE-hard. In contrast, we give polynomial time algorithms for solving some versions of the games on trees.

Dr. Strangecorrelations or: How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love Entanglement
Quantum entanglement was famously described by A. Einstein as giving raise to a "spooky action at a distance". With the advent of quantum information processing, the status of entanglement as moved from weird - and potentially scary - quantum feature to that of resource to be characterized, measured, and manipulated. In this talk I will review some recent aspects of my research on the operational characterization of correlations, through which I learned to stop worrying and love entanglement as key concept to understand nature and quantum mechanics.

"If You Build it"
We build systems, apps, and infrastructure that can change the world - but most do not even change the users' behaviors over a short period of time - never mind the world. Why not? What can we do to improve our designs that will lead to better appropriation? In this talk, I show how applying theories from psychology, design, and business to application design gradually improved acceptance and appropriation in underserved communities. I first briefly discuss how we used Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory to design a mobile application that empowers low literacy, chronically ill patients to manage their diet. I then discuss various theories and design methods we used with low socioeconomic status families to design an application to improve family snacking behaviors. Finally, I will show how we are building on the Ikea Effect to motivate low socioeconomic status children to create their own health monitoring technology. All of the methods can be easily adopted into an engineer's toolbox for designing applications that can potentially change the world.

Making Sense of the Past: the Information Practices of Field Archaeologists
This presentation describes the findings of a study of the information practices (Savolainen, 2007) of archaeologists, students and volunteers undertaking an excavation in the field. It focuses in particular on those practices by which participants made sense of the artefacts they uncovered, and through these, the site they were excavating. The findings show that these practices were both social and embodied in nature.

Attitudes towards Attention and Ageing: What differences between younger and older adults tell us about mobile technology design
Errors in interaction with digital devices are typically blamed on human factors such as poor attention. However, the influence of attention upon the quality of human-device interaction is commonly overlooked in product design. Developers rely on feedback about a product through user experience design, but do developers, typically younger adults, understand what an older user means, or experiences, in terms of "attention" and appreciate that fundamental conceptual and experiential differences may exist? We examine differences between older and younger adults' concepts of attention in relation to mobile-device use to inform future development. Two participant groups consisted of 11 younger adults (18-30 years) and 12 older adults (65+ years). Qualitative analyses revealed three themes 'personal understanding of attention', 'attention is dependent on...', and 'impact of ageing'.

Employing Disruptive Techologies
Digital Manufacturing promises to disrupt current manufacturing standards. Having been presented as both the "democratisation of manufacturing" and "the third industrial revolution", digital manufacturing has certainly had it's fair share of hype.
The Refugee Open Ware mission is to employ disruptive technology to improve human rights fulfillment for both refugees and host communities in conflict zones. Together with a for-profit Jordanian company, 3DMENA, we have formed a local NGO called 3DMENA Social Innovation.
We are currently working with clients from the region who have suffered physical trauma to develop low-cost 3D printed prosthetics for below wrist amputees. We are also researching and developing low-cost bionics and other areas where 3D printing and programming of commonly used microcontrollers can be used as assistive technologies.
In addition to the above, we are making significant progress in establishing 3 digital fabrication facilities in Jordan. Each aims to address: Hardware acceleration for start ups - based in King Hussein Business Park. Medical innovation - in partnership with Royal Medical Services. Refugee needs - situated in Za'atari Refugee Camp. This event presents our work across these fields (~25mins) and welcomes questions about our project (~10-20 mins)

The probability of the Alabama paradox
There exists various possible methods to distribute seats proportionally between states (or parties) in a parliament. Hamilton's method (also known as the method of largest reminder) was abandoned in the USA because of some drawbacks, in particular the possibility of the Alabama paradox, but it is still in use in many other countries.
In recent work (joint with Svante Janson) we give, under certain assumptions, a closed formula for the probability that the Alabama paradox occurs given the vector p1,...,pm of relative sizes of the states.
From the theorem we deduce a number of consequences. For example it is shown that the expected number of states that will suffer from the Alabama paradox is asymptotically bounded above by 1⁄e. For random (uniformly distributed) relative sizes p1,...,pm the expected number of states to suffer from the Alabama paradox converges to slightly more than a third of this, or approximately 0.335⁄e=0.123, as m → ∞.
I will assume no prior knowledge of electoral mathematics, but begin by giving a brief background to various methods suggested and used for the distribution of seats proportionally in a parliament (it's all in the rounding).

Cyclic homology from mixed distributive laws
In pure mathematics, cyclic homology is an invariant of associative algebras that is motivated by algebra, topology and even mathematicial physics. However, when studied from an abstract point of view it turns out to be an invariant of a pair of a monad and a comonad that are related by a mixed distributive law, and I speculate that this could lead to some potential applications in computer science.

Approximating transition systems
Classical computation, invertible computation, probabilistic computation, and quantum computation, form increasingly more sophisticated labelled transition systems. How can we approximate a transition system by less sophisticated ones? Considering all ways to get probabilistic information out of a quantum system leads to domain-theoretic ideas, that also apply in the accompanying Boolean logic. I will survey to what extent these domains characterise the system, leading with examples from quantum theory, in a way that is accessible to a broad audience of computer scientists, mathematicians, and logicians.

A tale about an EPSRC sandpit: mathematics applied to healthcare
EPSRC use sandpit events to generate transformational research. Specifically, they want to is to stimulate adventurous new research and exciting (interdisciplinary) collaborations. Typically, there is a call for participation in a particular topic, and 10%-20% of applicants are successful. The sandpit itself is a five day residential interactive workshop, culminating in novel grant applications for the chosen topic with extremely high chance of funding. But it's not about the money (EPSRC catchphrase of the week). I went to a sandpit in September 2012. It was both one of the most stimulating and stressful events I've ever attended. I met some very interesting people from quite different backgrounds. I ended up successfully leading a project on modelling for brain cancer. This sandpit also generated a network on the topic "Predictive Modelling for Healthcare Technologies through Mathematics": we are recruiting network participants! I'll tell you a bit about the sandpit process from application to award, give an overview of the projects resulting from it, and encourage you to help us spend the money the network has.

205: PBPF, Day 3
Reading: Anne Marie Macari. Her poems are quiet, natural wonders. I'm looking forward to reading her work. One of these days I will be clever and read the complete works of these poets ahead of time, but for now, I'll have to be satisfied with just reading the works of the workshop leader. Her own work has much similarity to my own interests in mine--the body, the natural world.
Reading: It was hard to pick a favorite of Thomas Lux reading, so feel free to wander on over to Flickr and check out the others in this year's festival set; he is truly a wonder to watch and listen to and reminds me much of a Jim Hensen creation. He told a story of his twenty one year old daughter skydiving, and I wondered what it might have been like to have Thomas Lux as a father. He came up to talk about how it's nice to have all of us kindred spirits together, and how he's known Gregory Orr "since we were baby poets, and now we're old, decrepit poets." Later, when I had his early works signed he said, "Oh, so you're going to read my baby poems. You know, they're not very good."
I think his work begs to be heard from him--maybe there are three categories of poets (no, more than that, obviously, but for what I'm saying here, let's make it three): the spoken word sort whose work belongs on the stage (almost exclusively), the academic poet whose work is best on the page, and that sort of in-between, the poet who won't appear at poetry slams, but whose poetry lives so much better in the open air, in the narrative out-loudness of the poet. That last is what I believe Thomas Lux to be. I probably wouldn't go on about him if I were telling you about my experience of reading him on the page, but he has been known to say things along the lines of wanting domesticated animals to understand his poems--he is not interested in tangled, high-fallutin' poems, and I hear when you are in workshop with him, he is one of the folks that will do the closest reading, making sure each syllable counts, and though it might take a great long while, your poem will have gone through the wringer (and, you hope, is better for it).

In the past eight years, Theresa's work has focused on developing and coordinating the delivery of entrepreneurism within the Faculty. She supported the establishment of the cross-Faculty Enterprise Team and has developed entrepreneurship education within the School of Nursing.
She is the founder and director of Heritage2Health, a collaboration between colleagues and students from Kingston and St George's, the voluntary sector and the National Trust. Theresa has received a number of awards for this work, including being shortlisted as teaching innovation of the year for the Student Nursing Times Awards 2014. Her focus is to support initiatives that reduce social isolation, improve access to opportunities and develop community-led nursing, health and social care education. She is a champion for sustainability, improving understanding of environmental issues and entrepreneurial skills development. She is also a founding member of The Collective which supports sharing contemporary art within the home (www.the-collective.info).

Halls Head Community College is committed to achieving their personal best, respecting and valuing each individual, valuing diversity amongst their students, adopting a student centred approach to developmental learning, catering for individual needs, fostering a collaborative team approach, providing students with a safe and caring environment, developing students' self-discipline and preparing their students for a changing world.
Halls Head Community College was a large project, as so much information needed to be conveyed to a variety of different demographics. There are sections of the site that are aimed at parents, areas that are aimed at students, areas that are intended for teachers and of course the general public. Not only did a lot of information need to be communicated, a lot of access also needed to be given to various teachers and department heads, to keep the site updated with relevant information. This mean accessibility was another focus of the website, using the Joomla! Content Management System.

If wall is a go, Border Patrol expects surge of crossings into Southwest
PHOENIX — The proposed wall between America and Mexico remains part of immigration reform, and that has the Border Patrol taking another look at staffing.
"We are prepared for [a rush on border crossings before the wall goes up] — we're not staffed for it, that's the problem," National Border Patrol union President Brandon Judd said Monday on KTAR News 92.3 FM's Arizona's Morning News.
"But we can do surges in certain locations. We can pull [staff] from locations that aren't as busy and we can move them over to the locations that are busy until we get fully staffed."
There were about 19,400 agents working across the country last year. In 2011, there were 21,444.
Judd, who spent years at the Tucson Sector, cited pay and job dissatisfaction as reasons for attrition.
The Department of Homeland Security said apprehensions for fiscal year 2018, which began last October, had increased slightly.
"If we arrested 300,000 people last year [trying to cross into the Southwest], if we're 50 percent effective, then 150,000 people got by us."
The White House immigration plan has drawn some dissatisfaction from members of both parties, but overall, Judd believed the proposal was "an extremely good deal," he said.
In exchange for $25 billion in funding for the wall, Trump has said about 1.8 million immigrants — the majority protected by Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals — could be eligible for a path to citizenship.
Judd doesn't have a big problem with that.
"If we're able to shut down the border to where we apprehend and deport every single person that crosses the border illegally, then that 1.8 million people we legalize is actually a very good trade-off."

NYU OSCE Toolkit
Utilizing OSCEs to Teach and Evaluate Fellows' Performance: A Gastroenterology Fellowship Program Director's Toolkit
New resource helps assess fellows' medical knowledge, communication skills, and professionalism
Recognizing the need for tools to standardize and measure fellows' performance and offer valuable feedback for improving such skills, the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) and NYU School of Medicine's Division of Gastroenterology have collaborated to offer a new resource: "Utilizing OSCEs to Teach and Evaluate Fellows' Performance: A Gastroenterology Fellowship Program Director's Toolkit."
Developed by NYU School of Medicine, the Toolkit gives you the materials you need as a GI program director to evaluate a fellow's skills set, using the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) simulation method. This free, turn-key program, implemented more than six years ago by the NYU School of Medicine team, is designed to utilize challenging simulated clinical scenarios to assess fellows' medical knowledge, communication skills, and professionalism.
The Toolkit includes all of the necessary instructions, materials, and templates needed for you to replicate this program at your institution. Materials include:
- Detailed clinical scenarios with evaluation objectives and related ACGME milestones,
- OSCE station set-up instructions,
- In-depth character profiles and cues for dialogue for the standardized patients or professionals,
- Instructions for participating fellows,
- Checklists to assist the standardized patients and faculty observers in providing feedback to the fellows,
- Sample fellow report cards and evaluation surveys,
- Instructions on how to use these materials.
Importantly, each clinical case is developed with the goal of evaluating the fellows' performance in accordance with designated ACGME milestones.
ACG is collaborating with NYU School of Medicine to offer this new Toolkit to GI programs through the ACG GI Training Pathway. We hope you will find this valuable new resource beneficial to your own gastroenterology fellowship programs.
If you are a GI Program Director, log in here to access the OSCE Toolkit on the GI Training Pathway, and then select the OSCE Toolkit under the blue Director button.
For GI Program Directors who don't currently have an account on the GI Training Pathway, complete the online request form here.

On the 29th July 1948, the day the Olympic Games opened in London, Dr Ludwig Guttmann staged the Stoke Mandeville Games, on the hospital grounds. Two teams of former servicemen and women competed in wheelchair archery as part of their rehabilitation programme. Little did Guttmann know the history that would follow and that this first competition would form the birth of the Paralympic Games as we know them today.

Often aligned with post-postmodernism, David Foster Wallace's later work retreats from the ironic detachment and cynicism of postmodernism in favor of a more sincere approach to writing. This is especially evident in his posthumous novel, The Pale King, a work dealing with what it means to be human in the Information Age. After locating the novel's setting within a recent history of American masculinity and work, this paper examines several of the novel's male characters as they struggle to be fully realized boys and men, concluding that The Pale King is Wallace's final statement that enduring the ennui of modern life is admirable, even heroic.

Bret dreamt another new song but it turned out to be Yesterday by the Beatles. Jemaine suggested Bret give up his cheese dream song writing.
4 Responses to "Bret dreamt another new song b…"
BAD NEWS: Bret's imagination is guilty of copyright infringement. GOOD NEWS: The talking stove just said he's ready to make a cake! 😀
Don't give up the dream, Bret! 😉
The cheese is playing mind games with you, Bret.
I thought you did pretty well with Prince of Parties, so perhaps it's time for another 16th of acid?
Yes, cheese can definitely be cranky.

In around one months' time Combilift will officially open its new factory and global HQ in Monaghan – which is the largest single manufacturing unit under one roof in Ireland. The 40-hectare site houses a 46,000m² factory, a dedicated R&D Development and Testing Centre as well as extensive administrative and visitor facilities.
Guests from around the world are due to attend this momentous event which also coincides with the company's 20th anniversary. In this time Combilift has grown from a small operation with a handful of employees to become one of the most influential global names in the material handling sector.
One of the major factors for Combilift's success has been its ability to manufacture and develop groundbreaking and tailor made products to handle all manner of loads, with a focus on safety, space saving and productivity, which set it apart from mainstream forklift manufacturers from the outset. Established by MD Martin McVicar and Technical Director Robert Moffett in 1998, the company launched the world's first multidirectional all-wheel drive IC engine powered forklift – the Combilift – and has not looked back since. Over 39,000 units have been sold to customers in more than 75 countries.
Three new products will be unveiled during the opening event, underlining further Combilift's reputation for innovation and developing ingenious materials handling solutions. More details on the exact nature of these will be available at their launch for visitors and representatives of the media.
"We are very proud of what we have achieved in the last twenty years, and we aim to surpass this going forward," said MD Martin McVicar. "The substantial investment in the new factory gives us the capacity to double our current turnover in the next few years, enabling us to make even stronger inroads into the global market.
