This activity will take the form of a workshop/hackathon, spanning over 2 full days, where attendees will have a chance to learn about Solid and to use it to build decentralized, social applications that put users in control of their own data and respect their privacy. We will also take this opportunity to look for UROPs and MEng students interested in working on Solid.
Day 1 - we provide an overview of Solid and how we can decentralize the Web. The morning will have the format of a workshop, while in the afternoon will get started with using the libraries, servers and user accounts.
Day 2 - full day hackathon where attendees will build and present a privacy-friendly, decentralized application. Food will be provided during lunch break.
Solid is an exciting new project lead by Prof. Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, which aims to radically change the way Web applications work today, resulting in true data ownership as well as improved privacy.

In today's hi-tech world, minimal coding skills should be the norm, even for those in non-tech fields. Want to create a website? Perhaps make a cool interactive video or sound installation? I can get you started. We will introduce Javascript and perhaps Processing as ways of creating interesting online content. Depending on the interest of the class, we can get more technical or less so. Everyone is welcome to attend, no prior experience is necessary.

“I can calculate the motions of the heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people.” Isaac Newton - after having lost a substantial amount of money investing into the South Sea Bubble.
This 3-day course provides an in-depth tutorial to analyzing online social networks. It employs the easy-to-use but powerful software tool Condor that analyzes online social networks such as Twitter, Wikipedia, Blogs, Facebook, as well as e-mail. It gives the “big ideas” as well as step-by-step instructions. It explains how to use Condor to visualize, monitor and manage brands, products, and topics on the Internet, and to analyze organizations through their e-mail networks. It gives a wealth of practical examples of how to apply social network analysis for prediction of trends by combining Condor analysis with KNIME machine learning. It also illustrates how to improve organizational performance by optimizing collaboration using e-mail.
Goals:
learn how
- the radical innovation process in small teams works
- to find trendsetter and trends on the Internet and social media
- to predict trends using SNA und statistical forecasting techniques
- how to increase organizational efficiency and creativity through a virtual mirror created of organizational e-mail archives
This is a condensed version of a distributed course, which has been taught for the last 10 years at MIT, Aalto/Helsinki, U. Cologne, SCAD, IIT. (http://sites.google.com/site/coincourse2015/)

The first part introduces the basics of Collaborative Innovation Networks (COINs) - cyberteams of intrinsically motivated people who work together over the Internet to turn a crazy idea into a disruptive innovation that changes the world. It also introduces the basics of our dynamic semantic social network analysis tool Condor. If you want to play with Condor, we recommend to previously install it on your laptop.

In this part we look at organizational and team-level networks by analyzing e-mail archives. Through six inter-personal variables of honest communication: 'strong leadership', 'rotating leaders', 'balanced contribution', 'fast response', 'honest sentiment' and 'shared language' that Condor calculates, we measure and optimize creative teams. We also learn the basics of Coolhunting, finding COINs on Twitter, Blogs, etc.

Jan/15 | Fri | 02:00PM-05:00PM | E51-057, bring your laptop |
Using Condor, we analyze Twitter, Blogs, Wikipedia, and Facebook to find the attributes of a trend and the most influential people talking about it, and measure its impact though machine learning with KNIME. We also look how to promote these trends through Coolfarming - viral marketing on the Web, and how to create COINs inside organizations by boosting organizational consciousness through social quantum physics.

Do you have a dataset that you want to share, an algorithm that predicts diseases from gene mutations, or a neat way to visualize data? Maybe these things want to live and work on the internet. Bring your ideas, and we will look at (maybe even implement!) some of the tools for crossing the chasm from screenshots of your local solution to a working resource the whole world could
use.
Topics will depend on the interests of people in the course. We may look at building and hosting web pages, sharing small or large datasets, Amazon Web Services, interactive svg figures in web pages, and writing public API servers. The focus will be on doing these things without too much disruption to your normal research routine, and on building the confidence to go further in your own explorations
in web development.

Do I want to shape my behavior? Or influence behaviors of other people?
Have I ever tried to change something in my behavior or to alter what others think or do? Has my experience been successful so far? If you would like to improve your chances, then you are welcome to practice and learn ways to reshape human behaviors (at scale).
Can you imagine a city that feels, understands, and cares? Many of us live and work in an urban environment, however we often are not aware of how hugely our behavior is influenced by the environment. Future cities will alter human behavior in countless ways and Socially Influencing Systems (SIS) will play an important role in making urban spaces more livable and resource-efficient by addressing current environmental problems and enabling healthier routines.
In this highly interactive course, we will discuss ways for reshaping our current environments and designing future Persuasive Cities to help people become healthier and to acquire sustainable lifestyles. We will explore how good urban design can be combined with Socially Influencing Systems (SIS) to encourage healthy behaviors at scale. We will study how quality of life can be improved through the creation of persuasive cities, streets, buildings, homes, and vehicles.
Each session will delve into practical design issues through interactive presentations and collaborative work.

Give version control a try, in a laid back environment that's about you, your experiments, your class projects, etc. Getting over the hump with git can make life a lot easier if you keep multiple copies of files, want to try out experimental changes without fear of breaking things, or collaborate with others. You don't need to take a class to learn git, but it can be nice to have an ice-breaker, so bring along your own homework or personal projects and we can get set up.
We will run three sessions, you probably only need to attend one. But if you come to more than one, you might already feel capable of helping newcomers.
Some start-ups now spend more time looking at Github profiles than CV's. No matter how small your personal projects are, putting them up on Github can be great boost your career.

Prereq: Some functional programming knowledge (Javascript counts)
Ur/Web is a functional programming language for web applications that runs both server-side and client-side. It follows the style of ML and Haskell but features an extra fancy type system, which it uses to statically verify immunity to code injection attacks, valid HTML and SQL generation, fields matching between forms and form handlers, type-safe metaprogramming, and more. The sever-side code generated by Ur/Web is very efficient, competitive with lower-level languages like C and Java (see https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r11).
In the first session, we'll introduce Ur/Web and walk through some demos. We'll quickly review some basic functional programming, introduce Ur/Web's client-side and server-side features, and see everything in action by walking through a blog application.
In the second session, we'll talk about Ur/Web's metaprogramming capabilities. We'll begin with a tutorial on Ur/Web's type system and its main unorthodox feature, row polymorphism. We'll then use what we learned to walk through building a generic SQL table viewer and (if there's time) editor.

APIs are everywhere these days, powering your favorite websites and mobile applications. APIs are great for integrating and updating data in a more streamlined way and can be made relatively easily with the right resources. While using an API may seem like a daunting task, it can be as simple as visiting a website.
In this seminar, we'll learn about what APIs are available, both within the MIT community, and in the larger Internet. Techniques for integrating these APIs into your websites or other projects will be discussed, and some sample code will be provided. If time permits, we'll also talk a bit about how you would go about writing your own API to make your data or service available to the larger MIT community.
