"Patricia #Espenak announced in an email that Fred passed away yesterday afternoon," Michael Zeiler just wrote on the Solar Eclipse Mailing List: "Fred was in hospice at their home in Portal, Arizona. Pat was holding his hand when he passed away and is devastated.
Fred had an extremely consequential life and was a giant in the solar eclipse community. Let‘s remember his enthusiasm for nature‘s greatest spectacle, his warm friendship to many of us, his generosity in sharing his knowledge, and his impact on all of us."

BLOCKS: Blockchain-supported Cross-Silo Knowledge Sharing for Efficient LLM Services
The hallucination problem of Large Language Models (LLMs) has increasingly drawn attention. Augmenting LLMs with external knowledge is a promising solution to address this issue. However, due to privacy and security concerns, a vast amount of downstream task-related knowledge remains dispersed and isolated across various "silos," making it difficult to access. To bridge this knowledge gap, we propose a blockchain-based external knowledge framework that coordinates multiple knowledge silos to pr…

Last week, at the #RedIRIS Technical Conference 2025, 400 experts gathered to explore and share knowledge around ICT infrastructure, quantum, AI, Open Science & more.
GÉANT CEO Lise Fuhr was honoured to join as an invited speaker, sharing a message that lies at the core of our NREN community:
“It’s all about collaboration and knowledge sharing. These are key components of how we m…

Threshold-Protected Searchable Sharing: Privacy Preserving Aggregated-ANN Search for Collaborative RAG
LLM-powered search services have driven data integration as a significant trend. However, this trend's progress is fundamentally hindered, despite the fact that combining individual knowledge can significantly improve the relevance and quality of responses in specialized queries and make AI more professional at providing services. Two key bottlenecks are private data repositories' locality constraints and the need to maintain compatibility with mainstream search techniques, particularly Hierarc…

(De)composing Craft: An Elementary Grammar for Sharing Expertise in Craft Workflows

(De)composing Craft: An Elementary Grammar for Sharing Expertise in Craft Workflows
Craft practices rely on evolving archives of skill and knowledge, developed through generations of craftspeople experimenting with designs, materials, and techniques. Better documentation of these practices enables the sharing of knowledge and expertise between sites and generations. However, most documentation focuses solely on the linear steps leading to final artifacts, neglecting the tacit knowledge necessary to improvise, or adapt workflows to meet the unique demands of each craft project.…

Integrating Pair Programming as a Work Practice
Context: Pair programming (PP) is more relevant than ever. As modern systems grow in complexity, knowledge sharing and collaboration across teams have become essential. However, despite well-documented benefits of PP, its adoption remains inconsistent across software teams. Objective: This study aims to understand the factors that facilitate or hinder team members' adoption as well as lasting engagement in PP. Method: We have conducted an exploratory single-case study in a mature agile company …

Towards Cognitive Synergy in LLM-Based Multi-Agent Systems: Integrating Theory of Mind and Critical Evaluation
Recently, the field of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) has gained popularity as researchers are trying to develop artificial intelligence capable of efficient collective reasoning. Agents based on Large Language Models (LLMs) perform well in isolated tasks, yet struggle with higher-order cognition required for adaptive collaboration. Human teams achieve synergy not only through knowledge sharing, but also through recursive reasoning, structured critique, and the ability to infer others' mental states…

Research Knowledge Graphs: the Shifting Paradigm of Scholarly Information Representation
Sharing and reusing research artifacts, such as datasets, publications, or methods is a fundamental part of scientific activity, where heterogeneity of resources and metadata and the common practice of capturing information in unstructured publications pose crucial challenges. Reproducibility of research and finding state-of-the-art methods or data have become increasingly challenging. In this context, the concept of Research Knowledge Graphs (RKGs) has emerged, aiming at providing an easy to u…

"How do you even know that stuff?": Barriers to expertise sharing among spreadsheet users
Spreadsheet collaboration provides valuable opportunities for learning and expertise sharing between colleagues. Sharing expertise is essential for the retention of important technical skillsets within organisations, but previous studies suggest that spreadsheet experts often fail to disseminate their knowledge to others. We suggest that social norms and beliefs surrounding the value of spreadsheet use significantly influence user engagement in sharing behaviours. To explore this, we conducted …

PROTEAN: Federated Intrusion Detection in Non-IID Environments through Prototype-Based Knowledge Sharing
In distributed networks, participants often face diverse and fast-evolving cyberattacks. This makes techniques based on Federated Learning (FL) a promising mitigation strategy. By only exchanging model updates, FL participants can collaboratively build detection models without revealing sensitive information, e.g., network structures or security postures. However, the effectiveness of FL solutions is often hindered by significant data heterogeneity, as attack patterns often differ drastically a…
