“…In the years when information technology and the internet are actively used, development rate differs by one to seven when compared to the years when information technology is not available. More developments are observed than in the seven years that they have never been used in information technology and the active use of the internet (Stafford-Fraser, 2001).…”

Internet of Things (IoT) is a new and advanced network technology that incorporates inter-object communication and sensor technology that connects almost every controllable electronic device to be used in daily life with a different Internet Protocol (IP) address in a network environment. In a such large-scale network, data transmission, process monitoring, data processing and network traffic are also required to be addressed. Today's Internet architecture uses the TCP / IP protocol stack for communication and is insufficient to meet the needs of the large-scale IoT network. Therefore, it will be a big advantage to reduce the data traffic in an IoT network where large amounts of data will be generated. In this study, a new method for reducing the data traffic in a designed IoT network is proposed and the data traffic on the network is reduced by preventing the transfer of useless / repetitive data in the network environment. A four layered (sensing layer, internet/network layer, transport layer and application layer) IoT architecture has been proposed by Çavdar and Öztürk in 2018. In the sensing layer, it is aimed to prevent unnecessary and repeated data from being transferred in the network environment by analyzing and eliminating the data. In addition, preventing the transmission of unnecessary and repetitive data to the network environment will bring many advantages such as storage, data traffic speed and storage cost.

“…An iconic example of this thinking is the story of the 'Trojan Room Coffee Machine': in 1991, people at the Computer Laboratory of University of Cambridge installed a camera showing the coffee pot. The creators needed to develop many things from scratch, like server and client software, and generally went a great length for solving a non-substantial problem (Stafford-Fraser 2001). This coffee machine broadcast became the first webcam.…”

The Hackable City

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Even though emerging city-makers are increasingly organized to trigger social changes, it is still hard to apprehend their real power to transform space and the way we live together. In this chapter, we explore how designerly approaches, such as hacking, making, and prototyping, can empower emerging city-makers to trigger a broader change and transformation process. It can be concluded that hackable citymaking can make a difference when combining top-down public management with bottom-up social innovation. A patchable plug-in platform might enable emerging city-makers to create value for the city and for society. However, it asks for new ways of participatory governance that enable these emerging, heterogeneous city-makers to participate actively in exploring the collaborative envisioned potential and to have constructive dialogues aiming for transformational change for the common good.

“…Dat een koffiezetapparaat belangrijk is voor wetenschappers, wordt verder duidelijk aan de hand van het verhaal van de ontwikkeling van de eerste webcam. Een camera werd gericht op een koffiezetapparaat en de beelden ervan werden beschikbaar via het universitaire intranet, zodat wetenschappers van het University of Cambridge Computer Lab konden zien of er koffie beschikbaar was in de koffiekamer enkele gangen verderop (Stafford-Fraser, 2001).…”

In this article we suggest Actor-Network Theory (ANT) as an alternative perspective on the object of social sciences and its practices. It is often stated that sociologists and social scientists have a ‘societal responsibility’, and that social sciences could provoke the societal consciousness by showing society a mirror image. Showing a state of affairs could urge politicians and other stakeholders in policy-making to take action. In this respect, the sociologist can only observe ‘what is’; although the positing of a state of affairs can start up a societal debate, the sociologists does not have a possibility to intervene. What the sociological imagination is capable of, is (re)presenting uncomfortable truths: description precedes intervention. Developing the ANT-perspective, we argue that this power of imagination can, however, be broadened when sociology undergoes a self-investigation. Sociological research is capable of altering reality: performing research is performative. This claim makes that the responsibility of the social scientist goes beyond just ‘showing’ societal problems by putting society in front of a mirror. Sociological description is in itself an intervention. We support these claims by giving three examples: the European Social Survey (ESS) performs the European Citizen, the data-infrastructure of Big Data challenges practices in the insurance market, and a controversy on a Belgian Voting Aid Application (‘Doe de Stemtest 2014’) makes clear that criteria of inclusion are never neutral.
