Journal article (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- Reglerna som möjliggör stängning av hemsidor på internet präglas av godtycke och otydlighet. Men det behöver inte vara särskilt svårt att skapa ett nytt och rättssäkert regelverk. Här har Sveriges EU-kommissionär Cecilia Malmström en viktig roll. Frågan är om hon tar sitt ansvar, skriver politiker och nätdebattörer.

A Design Rationale for Pervasive Computing : User Experience, Contextual Change and Technical Requirements
- 2005
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The vision of pervasive computing promises a shift from information tech-nology per se to what can be accomplished by using it, thereby fundamen-tally changing the relationship between people and information technology. In order to realize this vision, a large number of issues concerning user ex-perience, contextual change, and technical requirements should be ad-dressed. We provide a design rationale for pervasive computing that encom-passes these issues, in which we argue that a prominent aspect of user ex-perience is to provide user control, primarily founded in human values. As one of the more significant aspects of the user experience, we provide an extended discussion about privacy. With contextual change, we address the fundamental change in previously established relationships between the practices of individuals, social institutions, and physical environments that pervasive computing entails. Finally, issues of technical requirements refer to technology neutrality and openness—factors that we argue are fundamen-tal for realizing pervasive computing. We describe a number of empirical and technical studies, the results of which have helped to verify aspects of the design rationale as well as shap-ing new aspects of it. The empirical studies include an ethnographic-inspired study focusing on information technology support for everyday activities, a study based on structured interviews concerning relationships between con-texts of use and everyday planning activities, and a focus group study of laypeople’s interpretations of the concept of privacy in relation to informa-tion technology. The first technical study concerns the model of personal service environments as a means for addressing a number of challenges con-cerning user experience, contextual change, and technical requirements. Two other technical studies relate to a model for device-independent service de-velopment and the wearable server as a means to address issues of continu-ous usage experience and technology neutrality respectively.

Collecting and Associating Data
- 2010
-
Patent (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- The present invention relates to a method and system for collecting human migration data into a database, comprising the steps of receiving information regarding the spatial movement, here called a path, or stationary position, here called a station, of a mobile device in a communication network, from the same communication network, and associating information or a sequence of information that represents a path or a station, here called a signal, with previously collected specific information regarding an individual associated with the mobile device. The inventive method specifically comprises the steps of de-identifying the information by deleting all information that can uniquely identify the mobile device or the individual from the signal and from the specific information, and storing the signal together with the specific information in the database, the signal and personal information thus being associated with each other and stored without any information that can uniquely identify the mobile device or the individual.

Exploring the importance of context parameters for service use in everyday situations
- 2004. - 1
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The work described herein focus on the impact of different context factors in short-term planning situations. We have investigated which services have been used to solve different tasks. The method used in the study was based on scenario descriptions. The participants reported how they would have acted in different situations and they also rated the importance of different context factors in different situations. Analyses were made that revealed relationships between context factors and services used by the participants of the study. A qualitative analysis was also conducted, with the aim to capture context factors not covered in the study design.

Exploring user contexts - a qualitative study of everyday activities
- 2004. - 1
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The physical, social, and computational context of people affect their choice of activity, thus also their need for and use of mobile services. It is quite easy to find likely examples of situations where this would be true. For example, a person who is standing on a subway station on the way home from work, waiting for a train that does not appear to be on time, is more likely to feel a need for a subway time table or traffic information than someone who is driving a car. To what degree does context matter is however not easy to answer precisely. Which context parameters matter for which activities, and in which combinations? This report describes a study with the aim to draw a map of user activities and context parameters, as well as combinations of context parameters. The study is based on a qualitative method with only 10 study participants, and thus, no precise answers can be given to any question regarding which context parameters matter more than others when trying to predict what user activity is needed the most for every given situation. However, the intention is that the report will assist in determining which context parameters and user activities are the most interesting to take a closer look at.

Personal service environments : Openness and user control in user-service interaction
- 2001
-
Licentiate thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This thesis describes my work with making the whole experience of using electronic services more pleasant and practical. More and more people use electronic services in their daily life — be it services for communicating with colleagues or family members, web-based bookstores, or network-based games for entertainment. However, electronic services in general are more difficult to use than they would have to be. They are limited in how and when users can access them. Services do not collaborate despite obvious advantages to their users, and they put the integrity and privacy of their users at risk.In this thesis, I argue that there are structural reasons for these problems rather than problems with content or the technology per se. The focus when designing electronic services tends to be on the service providers or on the artifacts that are used for accessing the services. I present an approach that focus on the user instead, which is based on the concept of personal service environments. These provide a mobile locale for storing and running electronic services of individual users. This gives the user increased control over which services to use, from where they can be accessed, and what personal information that services gather. The concept allows, and encourages, service collaboration, but not without letting the user maintain the control over the process. Finally, personal service environments allow continuous usage of services while switching between interaction devices and moving between places.The sView system, which is also described, implements personal service environments and serves as an example of how the concept can be realized. The system consists of two parts. The first part is a specification of how both services for sView and infrastructure for handling services should be developed. The second part is a reference implementation of the specification, which includes sample services that adds to and demonstrates the functionality of sView.

Personal Service Environments - Openness and User Control in User-Service Interaction
- 2001. - 1
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- We describe an approach for mobile and personalized use of electronic services that meet very high requirements on openness, user control, and mobility. The design is centered on the concept of personal service environments. These offer users mobile and network independent access to services from many different types of devices. The concept also allows services to interact locally. This can be used in several ways: services can for example share information but also make use of each other's services. In particular, we want to use this to support service personalization. The design has been successfully implemented and tested with a number of sample services and in several related research projects. This implementation, the sView system, is described.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We describe the motivation, design, and deployment of the Pieces of Identity system. Two goals motivated the system: to provoke a discussion concerning the relationship between privacy and mobile information technology during an inauguration event of a mobile technology research center, and to stir reactions contributing to the widening of the design space of privacy and information and communication technology (ICT). The results contrasts the two well-established preconceptions about privacy that nothing is private anymore and that personal information is best locked away.

Service contracts: coordination of user-adaptation in open service architectures
- 1998. - 1
-
In: Personal and Ubiquitous Computing. - 1617-4909 .- 1617-4917. ; 2, s. 188-199
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- An Open Service Architecture (OSA) is a framework that supports an open set of users to subscribe to, and possibly pay for an open set of services. Today, the World Wide Web (WWW) is the most successful example of an OSA. Nevertheless, the WWW provides poor support for personalised services, since services cannot collaborate unless handcrafted to do so. We present a framework that allows independent, personalised services to coordinate their adaptations to individual users. The framework is described in terms of service contracts in an agent architecture. We first describe the general notion of service contracts, and then the particulars of service contracts used for adaptation coordination. Adaptation coordination addresses a crucial issue for OSAs: that of providing users with homogeneous interaction with heterogeneous services. We suggest that this is done by introducing a separate adaptation coordination agent, which orchestrates how the individual services are personalised.

sView - Architecture Overview and System Description
- 2001. - 1
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This report presents an architecture overview and a system description of the sView system. The system provides developers, service providers, and users of electronic services with an open and extendible service infrastructure that allows far-reaching user control. This is accomplished by collecting the services of an individual user in a virtual briefcase. Services come in the form of self-contained service components (i.e. including both logic and data), and the briefcase is mobile to allow it to follow as the user moves between different hosts and terminals. A specification of how to build such service components and the infrastructure for handling briefcases is presented. A reference implementation of the specification as well as extensions in the form of service components is also described. The purpose of the report is to serve as a technical reference for developers of sView services and software infrastructure that builds on sView technology.

Testing and demonstrating context-aware services with quake III arena
- 2002. - 1
-
In: Communications of the ACM. - 0001-0782 .- 1557-7317. ; 45:1, s. 46-48
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Testing and demonstrating context aware services can be extremely difficult Context-aware services inherently need information such as the position oftheir users, but it is complicated to gather and supply services with information of that kind. Obviously, one needs to do this when the services are up and running, but it may help to simulate the context information while the services are under development or for demonstration purposes. Even though the simulated context information is not real, the services and the routines that gather and receive the context information can be. This enables systems to be developed with less regard for constraints that stem from using actual sensor technology while also keeping the core functionality of services separate and ready for real-world deployment. One can image two types of simulation tools: those that simulate a set of values as a part of a test suite, and those that allow interactive testing of services in semirealistic circumstances. We have chosen the latter approach because it has the added advantage of allowing us to demonstrate services. QuakeSim is a tool that interactively simulates context information in real time. It simulates the real 3D world and different kinds of context information. With QuakeSim, it is possible to test and demonstrate context-aware services without requiring users or objects to actually be located in and move around in the real world.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Observes that the future of mobile communication networks lies not only in how successful people are in deploying technologies (2.5G or 3G with a high degree of coverage and roaming between operators), but also in how well people can create a functioning environment and usage situation for end-users in which they can get a homogeneous and continuous usage experience, despite the very heterogeneous world in which they, after all, will live. Concepts are advanced that support this observation (network independence, UI/device flexibility, and user experience continuity), and a possible solution is proposed that would take people in that direction (the personal server).

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We describe QuakeSim, a system that uses Quake III Arena to evaluate, test, and demonstrate context aware services. Context, such as users position or activity, is simulated in Quake and provided to real-world services as real data. The simulation is made more realistic by modelling real physical environments and calibrating the models to correspond to reality. QuakeSim allows simulated and actual context information to be used interchangeably in real services.

Changing behaviour to save energy : ICT-based surveillance for a low-carbon economy in the seventh framework programme

In: ICT for Sustainability 2014, ICT4S 2014. - Paris, France : Atlantis Press. - 9789462520226 ; , s. 165-170
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In research and development of information and communication technologies for sustainability, there is a strong belief that human behaviour can be monitored at the individual level to generate different signals, and that these signals can be used to influence individuals to behave differently. We analyse Seventh Framework Programme policy documents published by the European Commission, and descriptions of research projects granted funding from it, to highlight the uncritical development and application of surveillance technologies to change human behaviour. We argue that EU-financed projects dealing with sustainability and information and communication technology use models of social change that have been widely criticised as unlikely to lead to substantial changes in resource consumption. Additionally, we show that these texts discuss only the potential positive effects of technological surveillance, but neither acknowledge nor require the handling of the potential negative effects of surveillance.

The Informed Gaze : On the Implications of ICT-Based Surveillance
- 2013
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Information and communication technologies are not value-neutral. I examine two domains, public health surveillance and sustainability, in five papers covering: (i) the design and development of a software package for computer-assisted outbreak detection; (ii) a workflow for using simulation models to provide policy advice and a list of challenges for its practice; (iii) an analysis of design documents from three smart home projects presenting intersecting visions of sustainability; (iv) an analysis of EU-financed projects dealing with sustainability and ICT; (v) an analysis of the consequences of design choices when creating surveillance technologies. My contributions include three empirical studies of surveillance discourses where I identify the forms of action that are privileged and the values that are embedded into them. In these discourses, the presence of ICT entails increased surveillance, privileging technological expertise, and prioritising centralised forms of knowledge.

GeoNotes: social and navigational aspects of location-based information systems
- 2001. - 1

In: UBICOMP 2001. - : Swedish Institute of Computer Science.
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Location-based information systems allow the user to access information in relation to the user's position in geographical space. This paper outlines navigational and social aspects of such systems. It is argued that location-based systems must allow users to participate as content providers in order to achieve a social and dynamic information space. Moreover, as these systems allow commercial and private users to annotate space with information on a mass-scale, information filtering techniques will become essential in order to prevent information overload and user disturbance. We present a number of content-based and social filtering techniques to support this. We discuss implications for implementation and we describe a system (GeoNotes), which takes some of these aspects into account.

Intrusiveness management for focused, efficient, and enjoyable activities
- 2007
-
In: The Disappearing Computer. - Berlin / Heidelberg : Springer. - 9783540727255 ; , s. 143-157
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- When technologies for distributed activities develop, in particular the rapidly developing mobile technology, a larger part of our time will be spent connected to our various distributed contexts. When we meet physically we bring technology, both artifacts and services, which enable us to participate in these non-local contexts. Potentially this is a threat to focused and efficient activities due to the intrusiveness of the technology. Our aim is to contribute to the restoration of a number of the desirable properties of traditional local technology-free contexts. The intrusiveness itself is caused by at least four typical phenomena that have influenced current technology: • Focus-demanding and clearly distinguishable artifacts like phones or PCs explicitly mediate interaction with the distributed context • The functionality of services is traditionally based upon the assumption that communication is a deterministic flow of passive information, which for example, does not include information of the participants´ current context • Services in general perform individually and without coordinated communication schemes • The switches between contexts introduce a high cognitive load as each distributed context typically has its own system of characteristic objects and rules. In the FEEL project, we have developed a system called “Focused, Efficient and Enjoyable Local Activities with Intrusiveness Management” (FEELIM) that constitutes an intermediate alternative between the technology-dense and technology-free environments, which addresses the problems cited above. This research is based on a collaborative and cooperative setting where problems of intrusiveness management are confounded by several users meeting and cooperating together as opposed to isolated users dealing with similar problems of interruption management (Chen 2004; Ho 2005).

No evidence for embodiment : The motor system is not needed to keep action verbs in working memory
- 2022
-
In: Cortex. - : Elsevier BV. - 0010-9452 .- 1973-8102. ; 150, s. 108-125
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Increasing evidence implicates the sensorimotor systems with high-level cognition, but the extent to which these systems play a functional role remains debated. Using an elegant design, Shebani and Pulvermüller (2013) reported that carrying out a demanding rhythmic task with the hands led to selective impairment of working memory for hand-related words (e.g., clap), while carrying out the same task with the feet led to selective memory impairment for foot-related words (e.g., kick). Such a striking double dissociation is acknowledged even by critics to constitute strong evidence for an embodied account of working memory. Here, we report on an attempt at a direct replication of this important finding. We followed a sequential sampling design and stopped data collection at N = 77 (more than five times the original sample size), at which point the evidence for the lack of the critical selective interference effect was very strong (BF01 = 91). This finding constitutes strong evidence against a functional contribution of the motor system to keeping action verbs in working memory. Our finding fits into the larger emerging picture in the field of embodied cognition that sensorimotor simulations are neither required nor automatic in high-level cognitive processes, but that they may play a role depending on the task. Importantly, we invite researchers to engage in transparent, high-powered, and fully pre-registered experiments like the present one to ensure the field advances on a solid basis.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- When services providing real-time information are accessible from mobile devices, functionality is often restricted and no adaptation of the user interface to the mobile device is attempted. Mobile access to real-time information requires designs for multi-device access and automated facilities for the adaptation of user interfaces. We present TapBroker, a push update service that provides mobile and stationary access to information on autonomous agents trading stocks. TapBroker is developed for the Ubiquitous Interactor system and is accessible from Java Swing user interfaces and Web user interfaces on desktop computers, and from a Java Awt user interface on mobile phones. New user interfaces can easily be added without changes in the service logic.

- As electronic services are spreading in our society, they will need to be able to adapt to different users and different usage contexts. Different user interfaces will be needed for different devices and different contexts. We envision a way of developing services where the ability to adapt is included from the start. We use a set of interaction acts combined with customization information to create tailored user interfaces. A calendar service has been implemented with user interfaces for Java Swing, HTML and std I/O.

Providing Device Independence to Mobile Services
- 2002. - 1
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- People want user interfaces to services that are functional and well suited to the device they choose for access. To provide this, services must be able to offer device specific user interfaces for the wide range of devices available today. We propose to combine the two dominant approaches to platform independence, "Write Once, Run Every-where™" and "different version for each device", to create multiple device specific user interfaces for mobile services. This gives possibilities to minimize the work with development and maintenance, while still keeping the control of how the user interface is presented to the end user. A calendar service has been implemented with user interfaces for Java Swing, HTML and std I/O.

The Ubiquitous Interactor — Device Independent Access to Mobile Services
- 2005. - 6
-
In: Computer-Aided Design of User Interfaces IV. - : Springer. ; , s. 271-282
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Ubiquitous Interactor (UBI) addresses the problems of design and development arising around services that need to be accessed from many different devices. In UBI, the same service can present different user interfaces on different devices by separating user-service interaction from presentation. The interaction is kept the same for all devices, and different presentation information is provided for different devices. This way, tailored user interfaces for many different devices can be created without multiplying development and maintenance work. In this paper we describe the system design of UBI, the system implementation, and two services implemented for the system: a calendar service and a stockbroker service.

The Ubiquitous Interactor - Mobile Services with Multiple User Interfaces
- 2003. - 1
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The Ubiquitous Interactor (UBI) addresses the problems of design and development that arise around services that need to be accessed from many different devices. In UBI, services present themselves with different user interfaces on different devices. This is done by separation of user-service interaction and presentation. The interaction is kept the same for all devices, and different presentation information is provided for different devices. This way, tailored user interfaces for many different devices can be created without multiplying development and maintenance work. In this paper we describe the design of UBI, the system implementation, and two services implemented for the system: a calendar service and a stockbroker service.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Ubiquitous Interactor is a system for universal access to mobile services, where the user-service interaction is the common denominator between different devices. By combining interaction with device specific presentation information, tailored user interfaces for different devices can be created. A calendar service has been developed as a proof of concept.

Knowing your population : privacy-sensitive mining of massive data
- 2013

In: Network and Communication Technologies. - : Canadian Center of Science and Education. - 1927-064X .- 1927-0658. ; 2:1, s. 34-51

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Location and mobility patterns of individuals are important to environmental planning, societal resilience, public health, and a host of commercial applications. Mining telecommunication traffic and transactions data for such purposes is controversial, in particular raising issues of privacy. However, our hypothesis is that privacy-sensitive uses are possible and often beneficial enough to warrant considerable research and development efforts. Our work contends that peoples’ behavior can yield patterns of both significant commercial, and research, value. For such purposes, methods and algorithms for mining telecommunication data to extract commonly used routes and locations, articulated through time-geographical constructs, are described in a case study within the area of transportation planning and analysis. From the outset, these were designed to balance the privacy of subscribers and the added value of mobility patterns derived from their mobile communication traffic and transactions data. Our work directly contrasts the current, commonly held notion that value can only be added to services by directly monitoring the behavior of individuals, such as in current attempts at location-based services. We position our work within relevant legal frameworks for privacy and data protection, and show that our methods comply with such requirements and also follow best-practices.

Mind the body! : designing a mobile stress management application encouraging personal reflection
- 2010

In: Proceedings of the 8th ACM conference on designing interactive systems. - New York, NY, USA : Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). ; , s. 47-56
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We have designed a stress management biofeedback mobile service for everyday use, aiding users to reflect on both positive and negative patterns in their behavior. To do so, we embarked on a complex multidisciplinary design journey, learning that: detrimental stress results from complex processes related to e.g. the subjective experience of being able to cope (or not) and can therefore not be measured and diagnosed solely as a bodily state. We learnt that it is difficult, sometimes impossible, to make a robust analysis of stress symptoms based on biosensors worn outside the laboratory environment they were designed for. We learnt that rather than trying to diagnose stress, it is better to mirror short-term stress reactions back to them, inviting their own interpretations and reflections. Finally, we identified several experiential qualities that such an interface should entail: ambiguity and openness to interpretation, interactive history of prior states, fluency and aliveness.
