This paper highlights the renewal and restructuring period for SIMULATION: Transactions of the Society for Modeling and Simulation (SCS) between 2008 and 2016. Following a retrospective review of the author’s formative years, evolving research interests, ...

The Digital Humanities (DH) come to computing with a different set of needs, priorities, and perspectives than those addressed by Computing Science and its pedagogy. My research aims to figure out what it means to do computing ’humanistically’ and ...

Early in the field’s development, it was argued that to belong in the Digital Humanities (DH) one must know how to ‘build’—to code. Despite this stated focus, little work has addressed the specific computing needs of DH or the best approaches to teaching ...

The field of HCI has welcomed diverse groups of researchers from various disciplines, and has adapted its knowledge production in response, such as via the incorporation of new theoretical and methodological approaches over time. Researchers' ...

Trust is crucial for the functioning of complex societies, and an important concern for CSCW. Our purpose is to use research from philosophy, social science, and CSCW to provide a novel account of trust in the 'post-truth' era. Testimony, from one ...

In the preceding essay, the author presents a number of challenges regarding the philosophical positioning of critical realism (CR). Although we find the essay to indeed be thought-provoking and interesting, we also believe that several of his points are ...

This paper is an invitation to HCI designers and artist-researchers to weave together practice-based ways of knowing with others’ experiences with their work, focused on understanding cognitive and aesthetic impressions garnered during exhibitions. It ...

The thesis of this paper is that, despite its substantial accomplishments over the past 40 years as a professional practice, knowledge management (KM) has yet to mature as an intellectual discipline. The goal of this conceptual paper is to accelerate ...

Programming has been considered the "essence of informatics" since the beginning of computing as a discipline. But programming in the fifties was very different from what we know today, and one of the goals (or dreams) throughout the history of ...

The factual inaccuracies ("hallucinations") of large language models have recently inspired more research on knowledge-enhanced language modeling approaches. These are often assumed to enhance the overall trustworthiness and objectivity of language ...

The article examines the evolution and current state of the data intensive sciences (DISs). The article focuses on approaches to methods of data mining generated by the development of artificial intelligence. It is noted that the rich ...

As suggested by the HRI'24 conference theme, the concern for understanding and designing human-robot interactions for the "real world'' is now at the centre of the human-robot interaction field. But what does it actually mean to design robots for the "...

The field of human-computer interaction (HCI) is maturing. Systematic reviews, a staple of many disciplines, play an important and often essential role in how each field contributes to human knowledge. On this prospect, we argue that our meta-level ...

While there are many human achievements to celebrate in contemporary life, we remain confronted by a confluence of crisis that threatens to plateau the long arc of human progress. Design thinking and human centered design have proven insufficient for ...

This paper explores the epistemological differences between the socio-political legal subject of Western liberalism, and the algorithmic subject of informational capitalism. It argues that the increasing use of predictive algorithms in judicial decision-...

Humans are an essential part of human-robot interaction (HRI), but what roles do they play in HRI research? Analysis of the role of human subjects in research can serve as an indicator of how the HRI community engages with society. In this paper, we ...

In this paper we propose necessary conditions for antifragile project management, based on the Deming paradigm (a much richer version of statistical process control), named after W.E.Deming, who revolutionized the industry in Japan. We analyze in ...

Making sense of the world around us is likened to the task of staying afloat on a stormy sea while rebuilding our craft of ideas and concepts as we go. This metaphor is pursued through successive stages of cognitive development, and more sophisticated ...

I am currently working on a research project about scaling and universalism as an epistemic value. I showed how the claim that algorithms can scale over dimensions such as time, space and complexity is rationally fallacious. Now, I wish to explore how ...

Interest in design methods and tools has been steadily growing in HRI. Yet, design is not acknowledged as a discipline with specific epistemology and methodology. Designerly HRI work is validated through user studies which, we argue, provide a limited ...
