The Internet of Things (IoT) is an umbrella term used to describe a next step in the evolution of the
Internet. While the first phase of the web can be thought of as a combination of an internet of hyper-
text documents and an internet of applications (think blogs, online email, social sites, etc.), one of
the next steps is an Internet of augmented ‘smart’ objects – or ‘things’ – being accessible to human
beings and each other over network connections. This is the internet of Things.
Underpinning the development of the Internet of Things is the ever increasing proliferation of
networked devices in everyday usage. Such devices include laptops, smart phones, fridges, smart
meters, RFIDs, etc. The number of devices in common usage is set to increase worldwide from the
current level of 4.5 billion to 50 billion by 2050 and may even include human implants.
By dint of the above, life as we know it on the planet will undergo a multitude of minuscule but
incredibly significant changes that will alter not only how we relate to each other and the world, but
also how we conceive of ourselves as beings within it. This situation proposes a pressing question:
do we want to simply leave market forces to shape our reality? Or is there a deeper need, given the
significance of this technology, to consider its ramifications within a philosophical context? For as
computational devices become ever more central to how we relate to and interface with each other,
so too do they begin to create new systems of power relations between people. To create a system
of power is to impose a social dynamic. The design and deployment of the Internet of Things is thus
not simply a matter of software/hardware architecture but also of politics; ethics; belief; citizenship;
and social and civic relations. It is to this end of examining these issues more deeply that we are
convening this conference.

Meetup – Call for Action
Digital Social Innovation
Digital Social Innovation (DSI) is a type of social and collaborative innovation in which innovators, users and
communities collaborate using digital technologies to co-create knowledge and solutions for a wide range of social
needs and at a scale that was unimaginable before the rise of the Internet
We often find the most inventive solutions to social problems come from outside government, from grassroots actors and
civil society, but they struggle to build long-term, sustainable solutions that enable them to grow and scale.
The challenge is to exploit the collaborative power of networks (networks of people, of knowledge, and connected things) to harness the collective intelligence of communities
in order to tackle big social challenges.
Meetup – Call for Action
Big-Brother Scenario One challenge for Europe is how it might acquire a competitive
advantage in digital innovation by developing open innovation ecosystems, rather than winner-take-all marketplaces whose dominant
players set the terms of innovation and competition.
1) Creation and consolidation of new monopolies: Platform Lock-ins and battle amongst proprietary vertically integrated digital
ecosystems: A major risk for the Future Internet is the realization of the “BigBrother” scenario, showing that big industrial players (mainly
US based) will reinforce their dominant position by implementing platform lock-in strategies, enforcing extensions of copyright and
patents, appropriating users data, and discriminating network traffic. By centralizing computing, data storage and service provision (via the Cloud), and by striking strategic alliances between the largest Over-The- Top (OTT)and largest network operators, there is a risk that the innovation ecosystem will become more closed, favoring incumbents and, in general, dominant players, thereby in time constraining user-
driven innovations, particularly ones that don’t involve monetary payment. This currently seems the most probable scenario, since we
are seeing a consolidation of existing powers and incumbents at every layer of the Internet ecosystem.
Meetup – Call for Action
Power to People Scenario 2) Open ecosystems to foster grassroots digital social innovation
and entrepreneurship: The alternative is to accelerate innovations that align the capacities of the Internet better to social needs, and that decentralize power to citizens and communities. Indeed, the “network effect” of the Internet may still be in its early phases as well. The development of open data infrastructures and citizens-
controlled wireless sensor networks, and the long-awaited deployment of the semantic web, can potentially serve collective
action and awareness. The Web is today increasingly more enmeshed with our daily lives, forming a universally distributed intelligence constantly enhanced, coordinated in real time, and
resulting in the effective mobilization of skills and tools for “collective intelligence”. Distributed and citizen-centric
innovation plays a central role in the development of the Future Internet. Honest competition based on open standards, protocols
and formats are essential to deploy interoperability between data, devices, services and networks. Avoiding anti-competitive dynamics and lock-in engages all actors in the value chain and
allow for replicable, scalable and sustainable solutions.

Digital Social Innovation 2) Using this definition we have been able to develop 5 criteria that organisations and the DSI activities they are involved in have to meet to be
considered for this study:
• Has a social impact. The cases should pioneer new mechanisms for social innovation whose expected return goes beyond GDP measures and traditional
success indicators.
• Adopts new technology trends in a novel way. The selected cases should adopt/use or experiment with innovative combinations of the selected technology
trends (open data, open source and open hardware developments), leveraging social networks (or distributed social networking, sensor networks and the Internet
of Things, and knowledge co-creation networks).
• Aims at empowering citizens, for individual and collective awareness, relying on collaboration and or aggregation between users and/or their data. • Demonstrates of a clear network effect – i.e. it becomes more powerful when more people use it.
• Driven by grassroots or “bottom-up” communities of users.

Open Data
Innovation is most likely to occur when data is available online in open, structured, computer-friendly formats
for anyone to download, use, and analyse, as long as the privacy and data protection of all citizens is preserved and that communities are entitled to share the value and social benefits of public assets. Thus, open data,
together with open and standardised APIs is crucial for innovation, as developers are able to access and use
public data and mesh it with other sources of data produced by the crowd to build novel applications that
have a social utility and produce public good.
Meetup – Call for Action
A Public and Open IoT Space
A renewed public sphere should cultivate its own skills and knowledge, and work in networks across
organization boundaries – including the boundary between the private and public sphere.
A space that puts together government, companies and the civil society to disseminate the idea and the
importance of the creation of a public and open IoT infrastructure to be used for Digital Social Innovation

Make Stories Possible
Pessoas tem ideias de soluções para problemas de grande impacto e publicam na plataforma como “desafios” para makers/developers
Um maker desenvolve um hardware e procura por ajuda para desenvolver o software. E vice versa. Crowdsourcing
Makers/developers tem um protótipo e procuram por early-adopters para testar a solução ou comprar. Marketplace.
Makers/developers tem uma ideia e necessitam de financiamento para desenvolver o protótipo (crowdfunding). Early adopters podem se reunir em grupos de financiamento para viabilizar a aplicação da solução em sua área
