From justingriffis at gmail.com Fri Jan 8 10:40:28 2016 From: justingriffis at gmail.com (Justin Smith) Date: Fri, 8 Jan 2016 10:40:28 -0800 Subject: [Ci4cg-announce] Ci4cg-announce Digest, Vol 14, Issue 6 In-Reply-To: References:

Message-ID: Hello Doug et al. My focus areas around collective intelligence and the CI4CG are: 1. Community Data Collection (Place-Based or Community Sensing through Personal Story) - This includes the use of mobile devices that allow citizens to act as "sensors" in their community by sharing multi-media stories about place and the experience of place. Auto-ethnographic Citizen-Science... (or auto-eco-graphy). 2. Accessible Community Data Processing (Linking Stories, Big Data and Predictive Models for Community Decision-Making) - Developing infrastructure and algorithms for processing and analyzing unstructured story data, that can be linked to community defined development metrics related to health, environment, culture, etc. and predictive models to support decisions, and monitor decisions. 3. Focus Population (Natural Resource Dependent Communities) - Rural and urban peripheral communities that exist outside major urban centers in the U.S. Hope this helps!

As Research through Design gains currency and design practices more broadly are integrated with other modes of research, there is a need to present new and emerging knowledge in the form of design itself. This is often the case where researchers express new design knowledge through the languages of design, and where works are interactive with an experiential dimension. Conversely, the ability to share knowledge through the presentation of the artefact alone is also problematic (Scrivener 2002). Very often the knowledge and lessons learnt in design work remains tacit in the practitioner or latent in the object. Research efforts, such as evaluations, theoretical framing and literary or contextual reviews do accompany much creative practice (Candy and Edmonds 2010) and such approaches, along with direct presentation of the artefact, can facilitate bridging the research-practice divide. The essential aims of this stream at DIS 2016 are to facilitate this bridging and to present the locus of our discipline: the design outcome. The exhibition and publications are a forum for discussing the dual practice and research work and, in so doing, gain deeper insight into the relationships between creative work and knowledge. We seek to provide designers and artists who also conduct research with a platform to show non-traditional research outputs and share the accompanying knowledge outcomes. Submissions are expected to describe the proposed design work for installation (part 1) as well as a ‘framing text’ (part 2). The term ‘framing’ comes from Donald Schӧn’s The Reflective Practitioner (Schön 1983) and refers to the articulation of a question or theme that the work explores. The role of the framing text is to contextualise the creative work and articulate the knowledge or understandings generated, in order to share these with the community. Typically, the articulation of knowledge or understandings is through a theoretical analysis and critical framing of the work, or through evaluation studies. Design Works submissions accepted for exhibition at DIS 2016 will be published by the ACM in the Digital Library. We welcome submissions for design and creative interactive works related to contemporary research issues in design of interactive systems as well as the conference theme of FUSE – research exploring the range of new possibilities along the human and technology spectrum – the blurring of any clear divides between analogue and digital, atoms and bits, materiality and virtuality, art and design, academy and industry. We encourage strong content and criticality in submitted works, conveyed through the use of advanced technologies and/or inclusive or socially aware design practices. Submissions are expected to be aesthetically-resolved exhibition-ready works of design that represent expressions of new design knowledge. The focus is your creative work.

The track invites interface or system demonstrations, novel gadgets, techno-craft, and other interactive experiences that critically or creatively explore the conference themes. We welcome work from a wide range of practitioners in areas such as HCI, Design and Digital media, including submissions from students and independent practitioners. Demo submissions should be exploratory and ambitious: we encourage innovative submissions that relate to the topics in the DIS 2016 call for papers: Design Theory, Methods, and Critical Perspectives: Methods, tools, and techniques for engaging people; researching, designing, and co-designing interactive systems; the use of critical and cultural theory to understand, critique, and reflect on design products and contexts as well as design practices. Experience: Places, temporality, people, communities, events, phenomena, aesthetics, user experience, usability, engagement, empowerment, wellbeing, designing things that matter, diversity, participation, materiality, making, etc. Application Domains: Health, ICT4D, children-computer interaction, sustainability, games/entertainment computing, digital arts, etc. Technological Innovation (systems, tools, and/or artifact designs): Sensors and actuators, mobile devices, multi touch and touchless interaction, social media, personal, community, and public displays In addition to the opportunity to display your demo during DIS 2016, accepted submissions will feature an extended abstract of the demo (max. 4 pages, including references) published in the separate Companion (Adjunct Proceedings) in the ACM DL. Accepted demos may include additional digital material for display such as videos and/or a poster. Accepted authors are expected to attend the conference and be with their demo during the dedicated session on Monday 6 June 2016. == Important dates == * March 13, 2016: Demos due * March 27, 2016: Demos author notifications * April 1, 2016: All camera ready papers due * May 8, 2016: Early bird registration deadline * DIS 2016 Experience Night – Demo session: Monday 6 June 2016 == Preparing & Submitting == The demo submission should include an extended abstract and separate one page specification of the demo’s infrastructural requirements. An optional video of up to 3 minutes length can be provided for review purposes only. Authors must provide a link in the paper (just before the References) to view the video (e.g. from YouTube or Vimeo). The video may be password protected – in that case, please include the password with the link. Participants are expected to bring the necessary equipment to the conference site with them. By default, the conference will provide: * One table & two chairs * One large moveable screen (at least 55-inch) in landscape orientation (1920 x 1080). The screen can driven via an attached Windows 8 machine or used as an external monitor (VGA & HDMI connectivity) * One power outlet (Australian, please bring your own power adaptors) * Internet (Ethernet and Wi-Fi) Please specify which of the default facilities you intend to use and whether you have additional wishes. The Demo Chairs will investigate infrastructure and equipment possibilities for the accepted demonstrations. Optional posters and/or video can be presented electronically on large digital screens (at least 55-inch) with full HD resolution, in landscape (1920 x 1080px) mode. If accepted, we will request a digital copy of your poster in PDF format and/or video. == Formatting & Length == Demo Extended Abstracts should be at most 4 pages in length. All submissions should be formatted using the SIGCHI Extended Abstracts Format (US Letter). Please use the most recent SIGCHI Extended Abstracts template in either Word or LaTeX format. Submissions should be no longer than 4 pages. This includes all figures, tables, appendices, and an abstract of less than 150 words. References DO count towards the page limits. Submissions that are over the required length will be rejected. All submissions must present original, unpublished research. Submissions are not allowed to be under concurrent review with other conferences, journals, or venues. == Anonymity == Demo extended abstracts should be anonymised for blind peer review. Authors are expected to remove author and institutional identity from the title and header of the abstract, as well as any information embedded within the meta-data of the submission file. Suppression of identity in the body of the abstract is left up to the discretion of authors. However, reviewers must be able to compare your current submission to other related work in the area. In many situations, this is the author’s own work found in other publications. We ask that if you are citing your own work, that you refer to it in the third person as opposed to removing it completely because of blind review. For example, rather than stating, “This study builds on our prior work [removed for anonymity],” please refer to it in the third person, such as, “This study builds on prior work by [2].” == Review & Selection == Demo submissions will be reviewed in a double-blind peer-review process. Confidentiality of submissions is maintained during the review process. All rejected submissions will be kept confidential in perpetuity. All submitted materials for accepted submissions will be kept confidential until the start of the conference. == Demos Chairs == Lian Loke University of Sydney, Australia Markus Rittenbruch Queensland University of Technology, Australia demos at dis2016.org Dr Markus Rittenbruch Senior Lecturer, Interaction Design, IVD, School of Design Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia T: +61 7 3138 0426 | M: +61 447 282 521 E: m.rittenbruch at qut.edu.au | W: http://staff.qut.edu.au/staff/rittenbr/ CRICOS No. 00213J -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The book debates the impact of these trends on theory, policy and practice. The individual chapters are based on blind peer reviewed contributions by leading researchers working at the intersection of the social / cultural, technical / digital, and physical / spatial domains of urbanism scholarship. The book will appeal not only to researchers and students, but also to a vast number of practitioners in the private and public sector interested in accessible content that clearly and rigorously analyses the potential offered by urban interfaces, mobile technology, and location-based services in the context of engaging people with open, smart and participatory urban environments. This book continues the Digital Cities series that started in 1999, and is based on contributions to Digital Cities 7 and 8. We look forward to the next book volume based on Digital Cities 9 edited by Martijn de Waal and Michiel de Lange.

What I am trying to do with my dissertation is make a case for *algorithmic law, *specifically the idea that laws should be written in machine executable code. In the broadest strokes, the argument is that a large-scale software systems are regulating society one way or another. When they develop in an ad hoc way, that leads to a *de facto* technical regime with very uncertain and probably very undemocratic outcomes. Recognizing the regulatory role of algorithmic systems and designing them *as law *would allow for the possibility of a *de jure* technical regime. I'm arguing that there are a lot of reasons why this would be better than what we have today, and outline some of the ways these laws could be designed and their designers held accountable. One way I see this network potentially building on this work is by taking up the challenge of "What laws do we want in an ideal society, and how do we create those laws as a technology?" to create a distributed utopia based on principles of collective intelligence and the pursuit of the common good.

Arguably the largest, greatest common good we have is planet Earth. And we have consensus on the fact that there are thus limits to growth, established by the famous Club of Rome study in 1972: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Limits_to_Growth Besides arguing about details, the core premise remains valid, and has also been fantastically illustrated by Al Bartlett’s famous lecture: http://www.albartlett.org/ More recently, we have people such as Noami Klein and Ozzie Zehner, the latter arguing that we don’t face an energy crisis but a consumption crisis. http://thischangeseverything.org http://www.greenillusions.org So my question to the group is simple: How can we enlist, engage, recruit, employ the Collective Intelligence of humanity for the Common Good of humanity and end the era of growth towards a prosperous descent? http://simplicityinstitute.org/publications > 2. What definition of Collective Intelligence for the Common Good would you suggest? > (Or: what attributes might it have?) Based on Aristotle’s famous quote, "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts," Collective Intelligence for the Common Good is the study and practice of social and technical approaches to enable humanity to be greater than the sum of all humans. The common good represents the common goal to be conserving our basis of existence, the survival of humanity and all living beings that we share this planet with. > 3. Imagine a CI4CG event that you’d really like to attend. What would it look like? > (Feel free to describe a broad vision or just an interesting element.) I think it may be a mix of: Burning Man Woodstock Mardi Gras and the General Assembly of the United Nations > 4. What are some of the barriers that stand between our work and the outcomes we’d like to see? 1. Academic echo chambers: We yell into a publication audience that tends to be just us. 2. The greedy political Right that is more likely to listen to industry donations than research evidence Donald Trump Sarah Palin Vladimir Putin Robert Mugabe Bashar al-Assad Tony Abbott Malcolm Turnbull and other neoliberal bigots... > 5. Please describe one or more ways in which members of the Collective Intelligence for the Common Good Community / Network might be able to build on the work you're doing.
