Reflections: CHI’13 SIG on Interdisciplinary work
Posted by: clare on: May 15, 2013
Two days after the Research-Practice Interaction SIG that I sadly could not attend, I was in the midst of CHI and running our SIG entitled Science vs. Science: the Complexities of Interdisciplinary Research. I organised this SIG with Jofish Kaye, Jill Fantauzzacoffin and David Millard, and Jofish and I were able to be in the [...]
CHI’13 SIG on Research Practice Interaction: after the fact
Posted by: clare on: May 15, 2013
As I observed beforehand, 30 April brought the CHI SIG on Research-Practice Interaction, a topic suggested by Elizabeth Buie, Aaron Houssian and myself.Sadly, I missed our SIG personally since I was travelling at the time, but I wanted to write a few words about what happened: As I previously said, the aim was to let [...]
Observing Social Machines Part 1: What to Observe?
Posted by: clare on: May 13, 2013
Today marks the start of ACM WWW’2013, with this particular day bringing a doctoral consortium plus various tutorials and workshops. I’m not there myself, but I’m co-author of a paper that the one and only Dave De Roure shall present at today’s workshop on the Theory and Practice of Social Machines. The workshop itself is [...]
WebSci and the Two Hundred Cultures: slides online
Posted by: clare on: May 10, 2013
Hey there Internet! I’ve had requests for access to the slides of my WebSci’13 presentation about the representation of different disciplines within WebSci (a brief overview of the topic is here). The slides are embedded below: I’ll update this post on the weekend to include a link to the paper itself, and you can expect [...]
Web Science and the Two (Hundred) Cultures: Representation of Disciplines Publishing in Web Science
Posted by: clare on: May 3, 2013
Long-term readers may recall that at WebSci’12 last year, I published a paper on representation of disciplines in the Web Science conference series. It was motivated by the ongoing discussion and (at times) uncertainty in the WebSci community about the disciplinary composition of that community, and about defining Web Science itself. The paper explained this [...]
Have you done interdisciplinary work? A call for participation!
Posted by: clare on: May 2, 2013
Have you done interdisciplinary work? Perhaps you’ve worked in Web Science or a related area. Maybe you’re a sociologist who has studied societal impacts of the web, or a designer who has worked on web interfaces for groups. Perhaps you’re a psychologist, criminologist or sociologist with a long-running interest in web-related issues… or an economist, [...]
CHI’13 SIG: Science vs. Science
Posted by: clare on: May 1, 2013
As well as the CHI’13 SIG on Research-Practice Interaction, I’m involved in a SIG entitled Science vs. Science: the Complexities of Interdisciplinary Research. My co-organisers are Jofish Kaye, Jill Fantauzzacoffin and David Millard. This is a topic that has long been close to my heart, and I was particularly inspired to suggest a SIG for CHI’13 [...]
CHI’13 SIG: Research Practice Interaction
Posted by: clare on: April 29, 2013
I’m pleased to say that Elizabeth Buie, Aaron Houssian and I have had a SIG accepted at CHI’13 on the topic of Research Practice Interaction. Last year at CHI’12 I attended a workshop on the use of theory in practice, which led to the formation of the SIGCHI Research-Practice Interaction community. The goals of the [...]
FITMAN: Future Internet Technologies in Manufacturing
Posted by: clare on: April 24, 2013
I promised in my recent post about starting at IT Innovation that I’d say a few words about some of the things I’m working on. FITMAN is an obvious starting point, since this is where I’m spending most of my time. As per the subject of this post, FITMAN is about Future Internet Technologies for [...]
IT Innovation
Posted by: clare on: April 17, 2013
I haven’t written for just over a month. That’s partly due to busy weekends, but partly because I’ve been busy with a new job! I’ve been getting stuck into work at the IT Innovation Centre (aka IT Innovation), an applied research centre that’s part of Electronics & Computer Science at the University of Southampton. Unlike the [...]
