- In the past few years, the ethics and transparency of AI and other digital systems have received much attention. There is a vivid discussion on explainable AI, both among practitioners and in academia, with contributions from diverse fields such as computer science, human-computer interaction, law, and philosophy. Using the Value Sensitive Design (VSD) method as a point of departure, this paper explores how VSD can be used in the context of transparency. More precisely, it is investigated (i) if the VSD Envisioning Cards facilitate transparency as a pro-ethical condition, (ii) if they can be improved to realize ethical principles through transparency, and (iii) if they can be adapted to facilitate reflection on ethical principles in large groups. The research questions are addressed through a two-fold case study, combining one case where a larger audience participated in a reduced version of VSD with another case where a smaller audience participated in a more traditional VSD workshop. It is concluded that while the Envisioning Cards are effective in promoting ethical reflection in general, the realization of ethical values through transparency is not always similarly promoted. Therefore, it is proposed that a transparency card be added to the Envisioning Card deck. It is also concluded that a lightweight version of VSD seems useful in engaging larger audiences. The paper is concluded with some suggestions for future work. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.

A user-centered ethical assessment of welfare technology for elderly
- 2018

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Welfare technology (WT) is often developed with a technical perspective, and little consideration is taken regarding the involvement of important ethical considerations and different values that come up during the development and implementation of WT. Safety, security and privacy are significant, as well as the usability and overall benefit of the tool, but to date assessments often lack a holistic picture of the WT as seen by the users. This paper suggests a user-centered ethical assessment (UCEA) framework for WT to be able to evaluate ethical consequences as a part of the user-centered aspects. Building on established methodologies from research on ethical considerations, as well as the research domain of human-computer interaction, this assessment framework joins knowledge of ethical consequences with aspects affecting the “digitalization with the individual in the center”, e.g. privacy, safety, well-being, dignity, empowerment and usability. The framework was applied during development of an interface for providing symptom information to Parkinson patients. The results showed that the UCEA framework directs the attention to values emphasized by the patients. Thus, functionality of the system was evaluated in the light of values and expected results of the patients, thereby facilitating follow-up of a user-centered assessment. The framework may be further developed and tested, but in this study it served as a working tool for assessing ethical consequences of WT as a part of user-centered aspects.

Socio-Technical Challenges in Implementation of Monitoring Technologies in Elderly Care
- 2016

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Although new monitoring technologies (MT) supporting aging in place are continuously developed and introduced on the market, attempts to implement these technologies as an integrated part of elderly care often fail. According to the literature, the reason for that may be the prevailing technical focus applied during development and implementation of monitoring technologies in real settings. The aim of this paper was to investigate the socio-technical challenges that arise during implementation of monitoring technologies in elderly care. We used a qualitative case study and semi-structured interviews to investigate socio-technical (S/T) challenges in implementation of monitoring technologies generally and social alarms especially. Based on our findings we suggest a framework for classification of S/T challenges arising during implementation of monitoring technologies in elderly care and in this way this paper contributes to a better understanding of these challenges.

To capture the diverse needs of welfare technology stakeholders – Evaluation of a value matrix
- 2017

Ingår i: Third International Conference, ITAP 2017, Held as Part of HCI International 2017, Vancouver, BC, Canada, July 9-14, 2017: Proceedings, Part II, Springer, 2017, 404-419 s.. - Cham : Springer International Publishing. - 9783319585352 ; , s. 404-419

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Welfare technology (WT) is often developed with a technical perspective, which does not involve important ethical considerations and different values that come up during the development and implementation of WT within elderly care. This paper presents a study where we have applied an ethical value matrix to support systematic ethical assessments of WT intended for personal health monitoring. The matrix consists of values in a checklist and a number of stakeholders and it is possible to analyze which values are emphasized by which stakeholders. The aim was to assess the matrix and find out how the matrix supports identification of values and interests that drive the various stakeholders in the development and implementation of WT. We have realized that several values specified by different actors as especially important were not included in the matrix and that the values in the matrix did not visualize or enable identification of value conflicts.

A graphical SDL editor produced by the Meta-Tool LOGGIE
- 1990. - 1
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- We present a prototype implementation of a graphical editor for a subset of SDL(Specification and Description Language). SDL is a CCITT recommended standard for specifying and describing telecom systems. The editor is defined by the meta-tool LOGGIE, a tool for generating interactive language-oriented graphical editors. A short introduction to LOGGIE is given and the SDL application is described including a presentation of the chosen subset of the SDL syntax.

Computer aided hardware design by space-time mappings
- 1989. - 1
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This is a thesis work for the M.Sc. degree in mathematics and computer science at the University of Stockholm, accomplished at SICS, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Kista during the summer and autumn 1989. This thesis deals with hardware synthesis by space-time mappings. It is a method to map the steps in algorithm to distinct events in a space-time. If the pattern of an algorithm is known in advance then the algorithm can be implemented directly in the hardware when it is known where and then all steps in the algorithm will be executed then it can be determined where cells shall be placed and how they shall be connected to each other. I have developed a prototype, an Interactive Space-Time Scheduler, that can be used as an aid to schedule algorithms manually in the space-time. The user interface is developed in the Xerox/Interlisp-D environment.

Live Broadcasting – The Feeling of Presence and Social Interaction
- 2011. - 10
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper describes user-related aspects in the deployment of a live broadcasting service. Four user studies were conducted, addressing different user groups and different research questions. Participating user groups were the production team that generated content for live broadcasts and the viewers of the broadcasts. The aim of the studies was to investigate to which extent quality affects the experience and which functionality is needed to convey a feeling of presence. Technology and functionality needs were studied regarding the production team. The results showed the importance of a production environment that is easy to use, and providing the opportunity for producers to use the technology in their own creative way. The results related to the viewers supported the assumption that it was important to create a feeling of presence for those watching the matches via the service. Finally, the user groups also had several suggestions for functionalities that could increase the social interaction and feeling of presence.
