Many underlying issues plaguing the present Internet are economic in origin For instance, unwanted traffic (malware and spam) is inevitable if sending traffic is easy and cheap, while protection from unwanted traffic is expensive and complex.

A sustainable solution should change this balance to the favor of the recipient. This requires new insights into Internet architecture combined with socio-economic modeling, experimentation, and analysis.

HIIT organises Future Internet Socio-Economics networking session at ICT 2008. It provides a forum for researchers in industry and academia to discuss socio-economical research into the Future Internet.

The session will investigate several potential lines of such work:

• How should the capital investment of building the future Internet be split?
• How to influence the decisions and behaviors of the different stakeholders to make best use of Internet capacity and resources?
• How to create an efficient market for distributed resources (network storage, caching)?
• Economics of privacy and trust.

22-23 Oct 08: Nordic Cultural Commons Conference 2008

Nordic Cultural Commons Conference 2008
Stockholm, 22-23 October
www.hiit.fi/nccc

With the advent of the digital revolution and the Internet, it is suddenly possible to to work collaboratively across contexts and to create new, derivative or collective works on a global level. This presents an opportunity for an enormous and unprecedented stimulation of creativity and production of knowledge.

New licensing models have been created to help this collaborative creation. Open licenses such as Creative Commons provide ways for creators and distributors to work together. Such collaboration has proven itself fruitful also economically: open licensing has been succesfully used by music businesses, movie producers, book publishers and media companies.

How is business created around open licensing? What benefits does the Creative Commons model provide for public broadcasting and archiving? How open licensing changes the production of cultural works? How does the common Nordic legal environment affect re-use of cultural works?

Nordic Cultural Commons Conference provides insight into these questions. Bringing together all Nordic Creative Commons scholars and practitioners, it is also a great opportunity to meet and discuss the latest open content practices and ideas.

Our speakers include Mike Linksvayer (Creative Commons), John Buckman (Magnatune), Nicklas Lundblad (Google) and Paul Gerhardt (BBC Creative Archive).
