By using various data inputs, ubiquitous computing systems detect their current usage context, automatically adapt their services to the user’s situational needs and interact with other services or resources in their environment on an ad-hoc basis. Designing such self-adaptive, context-aware knowledge processing systems is, in itself, a formidable challenge. This book presents core findings from the VENUS project at the Interdisciplinary Research Center for Information System Design (ITeG) at Kassel University, where researchers from different fields, such as computer science, information systems, human-computer interaction and law, together seek to find general principles and guidelines for the design of socially aware ubiquitous computing systems. To this end, system usability, user trust in the technology and adherence to privacy laws and regulations were treated as particularly important criteria in the context of socio-technical system design. During the project, a comprehensive blueprint for systematic, interdisciplinary software development was developed, covering the particular functional and non-functional design aspects of ubiquitous computing at the interface between technology and human beings. The organization of the book reflects the structure of the VENUS work program. After an introductory part I, part II provides the groundwork for VENUS by presenting foundational results from all four disciplines involved. Subsequently, part III focuses on methodological research funneling the development activities into a common framework. Part IV then covers the design of the demonstrators that were built in order to develop and evaluate the VENUS method. Finally, part V is dedicated to the evaluation phase to assess the user acceptance of the new approach and applications. The presented findings are especially important for researchers in computer science, information systems, and human-computer interaction, but also for everyone working on the acceptance of new technologies in society in general.
Festschrift der Abteilung Ergonomie und Fuhrungssysteme des Forschungsinstituts fur Kommunikation, Informationsverarbeitung und Ergonomie anlasslich 40 Jahre Ergonomie in der Forschungsgesellschaft fur Angewandte Naturwissenschaften. 1967 wurde die Forschungsgruppe Anthropotechnik und
Flugmesstechnik, die zuvor an der TU Berlin tatig war, in die
Gesellschaft zur Forderung der astrophysikalischen Forschung e. V.
eingegliedert. Zwei Jahre spater erfolgte mit einer Erweiterung des
Aufgabenspektrums die Grundung des Forschungsinstituts fur
Anthropotechnik (FAT). Aus dem FAT und zwei weiteren Instituten
ging schliesslich 1999 das FGAN Forschungsinstitut fur
Kommunikation, Informationsverarbeitung und Ergonomie (FKIE)
hervor, in dem das Arbeitsspektrum des bisherigen FAT nun von der
Abteilung Ergonomie und Fuhrungssysteme abgedeckt wurde. Heute
arbeiten in der Abteilung uber 60 Mitarbeiter/-innen aus
verschiedenen Ingenieurwissenschaften, der Informatik, Psychologie,
Biologie, Mathematik, Physik u. a. interdisziplinar zusammen. In ca. 25 wissenschaftlichen Beitragen wird in diesem Herausgeberwerk das Spektrum der Arbeiten im Bereich Ergonomie und Mensch-Maschine-Systeme dargestellt. Autoren sind aktive und ehemalige wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter und Professoren des Institutes."
