ToCHI: Activities, Access Control & Networking

Wednesday, April 14
4:30 PM - 6:00 PM

Activity-Based Computing for Medical Work in Hospitals
Jakob Bardram, IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark

Presents a new paradigm for human-computer interaction based on human activity and its application in a hospital environment. Can help design new classes of interaction technology and clinical applications.

Computer Supported Access Control
Gunnar Stevens, University of Siegen, Germany
Volker Wulf, University of Siegen and Fraunhofer FIT, Germany

We reconceptualize the issue of access control on a theoretical, methodological and practical level. As a result, we enhance the design space of technical mechanisms of access control.

Experiences with Recombinant Computing: Exploring Ad Hoc Interoperability in Evolving Networks
W. Keith Edwards, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA
Mark Newman, University of Michigan, USA
Jana Sedivy, Palo Alto Research Center, USA
Trevor Smith, Palo Alto Research Center, USA

We describe the Obje/Speakeasy interoperability framework, including its novel approach to facilitating interoperation and well as its impact on the user experience.

The Ins and Outs of Home Networking: The Case for Useful and Usable Domestic Networking
Rebecca E. Grinter, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA
W. Keith Edwards, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA
Marshini Chetty, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA
Erika Shehan Poole, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA
Ja-Young Sung, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA
Jeonghwa Yang, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA
Andy Crabtree, University of Nottingham, UK
Peter Tolmie, University of Nottingham, UK
Tom Rodden, University of Nottingham, UK
Chris Greenhalgh, University of Nottingham, UK
Steve Benford, University of Nottingham, UK

Empirical studies of home networking and design implications that highlight how network solutions are not only technically challenging but must also fit in with the social organization of the household.
