Using technological frames as an analytic tool in value sensitive design

Paraconsistent Reasoning as an Analytic Tool

The study of logic usually focuses on either the proof theoretic or the model theoretic properties of logic. Yet the pragmatics of logic is often ignored. In this paper we would like to demonstrate that a logic can be practical in the sense that it can assist us in evaluating and measuring the amount of information in an inconsistent set of data. The underlying notion of information is inspired...

Procedural Modeling as an Analytical Tool for 3D Survey in Urban Design Assessment

This paper examines procedural modeling as a tool for 3D modeling creation. Procedural modeling historically has been used for 3D visualization of natural features, but with the release of the software CityEngine in 2008, the technology can easily be adopted also in problem domains dealing with urban environments. Then, we will examine and compare two types of modeling, traditional and proc...

Tourism as an Economic Develpment Tool

an investigation into application of the “process book” as an educational tool in architectural design studio within the domain of education, the design process is presumed by educators, as important, if not more, than the final design product. the reason lies in the fact that the very aim of design education is the enrichment of the students’ thinking processes, in their progress from given de...

Value-Sensitive Design in Hyper-Connected Societies

In hyper-connected societies, where the opposite of communication and interaction may unobtrusively change from a human to a bot or another device, underlying services and technologies can easily come into conflict with cultural and social values. In this paper, we discuss how values apply to hyper-connected societies and we elaborate how values could be functionally integrated into platforms t...
