This dataset includes the complete instructor materials for the Rural Digital Entrepreneurship Workshop delivered to Tanana Chiefs Conference (TCC) from November 15-19, 2021. The data set includes PDF files that will allow interested researchers and practitioners, including staff at TCC, to deliver an identical or similar workshop on rural digital entrepreneurship in the future. The workshop included three days of instruction (for which the files are provided), and two days of individualized work with participants as they work on pitching a digital business idea. The materials included here are anonymized, make no reference to participants and can also be imported into learning management systems. The workshop intent was to guide participants towards the development and completion of a business plan for a digital enterprise situated in rural Alaska. Editable versions of the files can be requested from the authors.

Poly'19 Workshop Summary: GDPR
Data privacy within the context of heterogenous data and data management systems continues to be an important issue. At the Poly?19 workshop, held in conjunction with VLDB 2019 in Los Angeles, CA, one of the major themes explored was the implication of data privacy regulations such as GDPR to systems composed of multiple heterogenous databases. This summary outlines some of the major approaches and directions presented by various presenters during the privacy portion of the Poly?19 workshop.

This one-day workshop aims to explore ubiquitous privacy research and design in the context of mobile and IoT by facilitating discourse among scholars from the networked privacy and design communities. The complexity in modern socio-technical systems points to the potential of utilizing various design techniques (e.g., speculative design, design fiction, and research through design practices) in surfacing the potential consequences of novel technologies, particularly those that traditional user studies may not reveal. The results will shed light on future privacy designs for mobile and IoT technologies from both empirical and design perspectives.more » « less

Government agencies collect and manage a wide range of ever-growing datasets. While such data has the potential to support research and evidence-based policy making, there are concerns that the dissemination of such data could infringe upon the privacy of the individuals (or organizations) from whom such data was collected. To appraise the current state of data sharing, as well as learn about opportunities for stimulating such sharing at a faster pace, a virtual workshop was held on May 21st and 26th, 2021, sponsored by the National Science Foundation and National Institute of Standards and Technologies, where a multinational collection of researchers and practitioners were brought together to discuss their experiences and learn about recently developed technologies for managing privacy while sharing data. The workshop specifically focused on challenges and successes in government data sharing at various levels. The first day focused on successful examples of new technology applied to sharing of public data, including formal privacy techniques, synthetic data, and cryptographic approaches. Day two emphasized brainstorming sessions on some of the challenges and directions to address them.more » « less

This paper analyzes the consensus problem in heterogenous nonlinear multiagent systems. The multiagent systems not only have nonidentical nonlinear dynamics for all agents, but also have different network topologies for position and velocity interactions. An asynchronous sampled-data control without any input delays is first proposed, the information of each agent is only sampled at its own sampling instants and need not be sampled at other sampling instants. Then, quasi-consensus in heterogenous multiagent systems is proved by Lyapunov stability theory. When asynchronous sampled-data control has nonuniform input delays, sufficient conditions for quasi-consensus in heterogenous multiagent systems are further obtained. The upper bound of quasi-consensus errors is estimated. Finally, numerical simulations are provided to verify the effectiveness of theoretical results.more » « less

Intelligently responding to a pandemic like Covid-19 requires sophisticated models over accurate real-time data, which is typically lacking at the start, e.g., due to deficient population testing. In such times, crowdsensing of spatially tagged disease-related symptoms provides an alternative way of acquiring real-time insights about the pandemic. Existing crowdsensing systems aggregate and release data for pre-fixed regions, e.g., counties. However, the insights obtained from such aggregates do not provide useful information about smaller regions e.g., neighborhoods where outbreaks typically occur and the aggregate-and-release method is vulnerable to privacy attacks. Therefore, we propose a novel differentially private method to obtain accurate insights from crowdsensed data for any number of regions specified by the users (e.g., researchers and a policy makers) without compromising privacy of the data contributors. Our approach, which has been implemented and deployed, informs the development of the future privacy-preserving intelligent systems for longitudinal and spatial data analytics.more » « less
