It is amazing to see how this New Year Contest could produce so rich and inspiring analyses. It is hard to distinguish the contributions, they are all different and to some extent complementary. The Jury – consisting of Francesca Bria and Gérald Santucci – had a difficult task to perform! In order to remain objective as much as possible (which we admit is not so easy when you take into consideration your own education, experience, and vision), we decided to use three criteria:
- - Does the text propose an anti-Panopticon concept? Sometimes there is one, sometimes there is none, sometimes there is one but actually it is not proposed as a contrary of Panopticon.
- - Does the text propose an innovative approach to the impact of IoT on society? Here, our judgement is not about what we think of the approach but much more modestly whether we believe there is one and, if so, whether we believe it is an innovative one.
- - Does the text propose a convincing analysis?
