“…Intelligent embedded agents are software programs which run on embedded computers and mimic some of the attributes associated with intelligence -they reason, plan and learn from occupant behaviour. This intelligence is useful as it reduces the burden and complexity of managing and programming large numbers of agents; it enables the agents to adapt to changing occupant needs or environments; and it frees occupants from requiring in-depth understanding of the system or having to make complex decisions (Callaghan et al, 2009). This is because the agents filter the information received by sensing and observation of building occupants, and make decisions or inferences about what the occupants are trying to achieve.…”

“…Fortino et al [12], for example, have proposed a promising approach for the development of smart objects and smart objects applications based on agents. This, however, necessitates that the set up for research moves towards the other alternative for the development of IE systems presented by Callaghan et al [5]: the autonomous learning and self-adaptable services.…”

“…The feeling of control was considered to be the critical IE-related experience that should be supported by the technologies (the experiences relating to feel of control appear as the last six experiences in the table), introduced e.g. in [3,5,10]. The right of the table contains an assessment of whether the experience was associated with the creating and configuring experience or with the sharing experience.…”

“…Callaghan et al have presented some broad alternatives for defining the set up for research and development of IE systems [5]. At one end are the autonomous learning and self-adaptable services of the environment, and at the other, the self-configuring services with which people may intimately and explicitly be involved in the programming of collectives of devices that they may also have defined themselves.…”

Abstract. This article illustrates design-oriented human-computer interaction (HCI) research for creating do-it-yourself (DIY) experiences for emerging technologies. It contemplates the design objectives for the DIY construction processes through the lens of Ecological Approach to Smart Environments (EASE) and by exemplifying three case studies. The first case study introduces the design of the Home Control System of a nursing ecology for the aged. The second case study presents the Music Creation Tool research in music therapy ecology for those with disabilities, and the third study, Life Story Creation, presents a memorysharing application for elderly amateur writers. The article carefully considers the role of users in HCI research, who in the DIY context are expected to be active and motivated crafters and builders of their personal environments. The focus of research, the user experience studies, aims at supporting creating, configuring and sharing experiences within the constructed prototypes, and at determining the new experiences that emerge from the research. The concluding objective for the article is presenting of a design framework for involving the initiative domain owners to the DIY research.Keywords: Human-computer interaction (HCI), do-it-yourself (DIY), ecological approach to smart environments (EASE), user experience design (UX), intelligent environments (IE)

“…Additionally, ICTs have a number of other characteristics that, whilst not necessarily unique, can combine to generate consequences that make the applicability of RRI to ICTs seem eminently reasonable. In addition to their ubiquity and pervasiveness [40,41], these characteristics of ICT include their speed of innovation, the problem of many hands, their logical malleability, and their interpretive flexibility, as further described below.…”

An Investigation into Risk Perception in the ICT Industry as a Core Component of Responsible Research and Innovation

et al. 2017

This paper makes an original contribution to the responsible research and innovation (RRI) discourse, with an inquiry into the extent to which risk, risk assessment, or risk management, including ethical and social issues, is relevant to companies. As a core component of the higher or "meta-responsibility" of RRI, an investigation of practices and attitudes towards risks can provide us with a window into companies' attitudes towards responsible innovation that is rooted in real-world experiences. Drawing upon data from 30 in-depth interviews and a large Delphi study, we reveal different underlying attitudes towards risk governance for individuals working in the information and communication technology (ICT) industry. For some companies, there is already an obvious degree of alignment with RRI values. For others, framing of the RRI discourse in terms of ethical and societal risks may help to promote understanding and uptake. Results from the interviews suggest that lack of awareness of the full extent of ethical and societal risks associated with research and innovation in the ICT industry may act as a barrier to engagement with RRI, and educational activities may be needed to rectify this situation. Results from the Delphi survey suggest that when presented with simple information about potential ethical and societal risks, industry personnel can easily recognise the main risks and provide clear opinions about how they should be addressed. The relationship between risk governance and RRI warrants further investigation as it is an essential facet of RRI.
