2nd CFP: Special Issue of Interacting with Computers on the Social Implications of Embedded Systems

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Main Submission Deadline: 1st May 2012



URL: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/interacting-with-computers/call-for-papers





Aims and Scope

************

Research on Embedded Systems or Pervasive Computing (PerCom) and its associated sensory and mobile technologies, is shifting focus from studies in controlled research laboratories, to emerging prototype implementations in real world everyday applications. The future application of PerCom is envisaged to cover almost all public, personal and commercial aspects of our lives. The benefits of PerCom are numerous and wide ranging, providing unprecedented applications on a previously unseen scale. However, this large scale use of technology brings with it a series of potential implications for its users.



Researchers studying the social aspects of PerCom have, to date, generally focused on its future positive application, with insufficient consideration or discussion of its potential short and long term social consequences. If the implications of PerCom are to be prevented or minimized, research should be conducted while the technology is in its relatively early stages of development, prior to its large scale adoption. This proposed special issue of interacting with computers aims to promote the discussion, and empirical investigation of the social implications of location aware technology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:



   * Making the invisible socially acceptable

   * Social trust in PerCom

   * Influence through increased availability of information

   * The physical, social and legal boundaries of PerCom

 * Location tracking of people and objects: privacy issues

   * Socially acceptable design: guidelines

   * Models of implications/user responses



In light of the impending shift in research focus from laboratories to real world implementations, the special issue aims, in particular, to attract submissions with empirical studies on:



   * Embedded systems deployed in real environments

   * The effect of the deployed technology on its users

   * The impact of the data obtained by the embedded systems and its use



Submission Details

*************

Authors are encouraged to submit a short abstract (300-500 words) and a tentative title prior to the full paper submission, by 1st April 2012, to Stuart Moran ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) and Irene Lopez de Vallejo ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>).
