Socially responsive technologies: toward a co-developmental path

Toward a Path Co-Processor for Automated Vehicle Control

The paper describes an embedded controller as the basis for high performance navigation tasks. The approach solves Laplace's equation on a discrete grid representing the roadway map. The resulting harmonic potential is free of local minima and a greedy descent minimizes the probability of collision with posted obstacles. In this paper, we will (1) introduce the important properties of harmonic ...

Socially Responsive, Environmentally Friendly Logic

We consider the following questions: What kind of logic has a natural semantics in multi-player (rather than 2-player) games? How can we express branching quantifiers, and other partial-information constructs, with a properly compositional syntax and semantics? We develop a logic in answer to these questions, with a formal semantics based on multiple concurrent strategies, formalized as closure...

A Combinatorial Approach toward Factors Empowering Developmental Coaches and Deputies

The present research has aimed to present a model for and identify the dimensions and components of empowering developmental coaches and deputies in high schools. Taking a mixed, exploratory approach, the research used the strategy derived from grounded theory in the qualitative section, while a descriptive-survey method was used in the quantitative section. The statistical population for the f...

Toward socially inspired social neuroscience.

Social neuroscience, often viewed as studying the neural foundations of social cognition, has roots in multiple disciplines. This paper argues that it needs a firmer base in social psychology. First, we outline some major opportunities from social psychology--the power of social context and social motives in shaping human behavior. Second, as the social cognition field moves away from studying ...
