“…The use of scenarios in design science is an acceptable and effective approach (table 2) and has been applied in similar studies, for example in the evaluation of a program evaluation strategy (Barclay and Osei-Bryson, 2009). Scenarios have also been used in other IS research areas of simulation and experimentation (Warren, et al, 2005) to demonstrate the characteristics and benefits of defined models. …”

“…They allow decision makers to anticipate their reactions to different future possibilities, to anticipate time frames beyond the immediate future and to make [effective] choices (Schwartz, 1991). Scenarios are common tools used in IS research in areas of simulation and experimentation (Warren et al, 2005) to demonstrate the characteristics and benefits of the defined models.

ABSTRACT:The cyber-security landscape is continuing to evolve and it is therefore important for countries to understand the dynamic forces and be able to foresee the potential risks and vulnerabilities and stem them. One approach is through the development and implementation of proactive strategies, policies and procedures that is guided by a cyber-security strategy and framework at the national level. A recent 2013 UN study revealed that a significant number of countries are without a national cybercrime strategy. This is true for countries in the Caribbean including Jamaica that are currently without a national cyber-security strategy and framework. This has significant implications for our national security and development. This research project therefore seeks to develop and evaluate a National Cyber-security framework, Jamaica National Cyber-security Framework (JNCF) through the application of the Design Science methodology. JNCF incorporates international standards and best practices as a basis to aid in the protection of confidentiality, integrity and availability of national information in Jamaica and serve as a potential blue print for both the private and public sectors within Jamaica. The framework rests on due consideration for the critical assets and infrastructure, stakeholders and legislative and technical controls supported by the definition and scope of cybercrime and global best practices. We argue that these facets facilitate a sound national strategy for combatting cybercrime. Our study has implications for research, government and private sectors as it seeks to develop an artifact that is currently not in existence in Jamaica which can be used to inform the effective management of cyber-crime and security in other developing countries.

“…Moreover, they have to interpret the gestures by the tutor agents to solve their tasks. Warren et al (2005) as well as Rehm et al (2007) aim at cross-cultural training scenarios and describe ideas on how these can be realized with virtual characters. Jan et al (2007) describe an approach to modify the behavior of characters by cultural variables relying on Hofstede's dimensions.…”

From observation to simulation: generating culture-specific behavior for interactive systems

In this article we present a parameterized model for generating multimodal behavior based on cultural heuristics. To this end, a multimodal corpus analysis of human interactions in two cultures serves as the empirical basis for the modeling endeavor. Integrating the results from this empirical study with a well-established theory of cultural dimensions, it becomes feasible to generate culture-specific multimodal behavior in embodied agents by giving evidence for the cultural background of the agent. Two sample applications are presented that make use of the model and are designed to be applied in the area of coaching intercultural communication.

Abstract. In this paper we propose the method of multimodal corpus analysis to collect enough empirical data for modeling the behavior of embodied conversational agents. This is a prerequisite to ensure the usability of such complex interactive systems. So far, the development of embodied agents suffers from a lack of explicit usability methods. In most cases, the consideration of usability aspects is constrained to preliminary user tests at the end of the development process.
