ARTICONF's mission
ARTICONF addresses issues of trust, time-criticality and democratisation for a new generation of federated infrastructure, to fulfil the privacy, robustness, and autonomy related promises that proprietary social media platforms have failed to deliver so far.
Timely to create new tools for improved #virtualevent coverage that are able to provide different types of online channels people can join, to reach a wider audience and to generate financial income. Read about @MOGTechnologies crowd journalism use case:

From a technological perspective, the technology used to host #virtualevents is still inadequate. Video conference tools lack the necessary features to allow #journalists and #producers to create news/stories that truly engage.

We propose a TAC framework to enable the social media service owner to have a reach and engagement analysis of the performances of the particular service he/she offers. @UOhrid #TAC #ARTICONF #Horizon2020
The future, it is safe to assume, will be a mix between the physical #event itself and a series of online side events (happening before, during and after the physical event) that complement and enrich the #experience as a whole.

Democratic and tokenized decision-making
Research graph anonymisation techniques to power cooperative applications and improve participatory exchanges in anonymised ecosystems.
Elastic resource provisioning
Improving efficiency and controlling distributed P2P and Cloud virtual infrastructures, optimising QoS performance metrics and ensuring fast recovery.
Cognitive analytics for collaborative economy
Socially-aware and spatial-temporal data aggregation, knowledge extraction, guided analytics, cognitive learning and risk quantification for a collaborative economy.

Use cases
Crowd journalism
Challenges: validate crowdsourced news, find precise and trustworthy crowd-participants and provision time-critical infrastructure resources closer to news location for faster access to breaking news.
Car sharing
Challenges: low public awareness of shared mobility and issues relating to precise planning, optimising business costs, person-to-person lending and collaborative consumption.
Video reviews
Challenges: Contextualised and thematic search of audio-visual metadata in a large video library, and the security and privacy of a scalable business model that rewards users for their interactions.
Smart energy
Challenges: identify the behavioural convergence of the prosumer decisions over a specific smart appliance, and lack of efficient data management to keep track of the amount of energy produced by users.
