This paper discusses the challenges of studying affective interactions and reviews a pilot study designed to test the feasibility of studying the concurrence of facial and bodily expression. The study had three goals. First, evaluate the use of our emotion elicitation method. Second, determine if a specialized head mount for a face camera worn by participants interfered with performance. Third,...

The limited amount of good tools for supporting elicitation of preference information in multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) causes practical problem. In our experiences, this can be remedied by allowing more relaxed input statements from decision-makers, causing the elicitation process to be less cognitively demanding. Furthermore, it should not be too time consuming and must be able to ac...

Quality of software products is closely related to the elicitation requirement process. Several studies point out that elicitation techniques achieve different results when applied in different contexts. This paper presents some recommendations about the situations in which elicitation techniques are useful. Recommendations are based on a previous systematic review, which was updated and expand...

Reliability prediction methods for early design stages suffer from the lack of empirical failure data. However, expert knowledge and data from similar in-service components are information sources ready available. In this work, an expert elicitation procedure for failure rate prediction is presented. In contrast to direct elicitation procedures such as FMEA, relations to in-service components a...

Photo-elicitation is a qualitative interviewing technique that has gained popularity in recent years. It is the foundation for photovoice projects and is a tool well-suited for community-based participatory research. Photo-elicitation yields rich data, and interview participants say these interviews encourage community awareness and engagement. This article draws on 9 studies, conducted by rese...

Requirements elicitation is a complex process that requires stakeholders in teams to collaborate, go through decision-making processes to arrive at consensus. During the requirements elicitation processes, stakeholders who have different backgrounds, view points and understandings, need to clarify, capture and uncover user/client requirements in an efficient and effective manner. However, there...

This paper presents a novel approach to automate the process of software requirements elicitation and specification. The software requirements elicitation is perhaps the most important phase of software development as a small error at this stage can result in absurd software designs and implementations. The automation of the initial phase (such as requirement elicitation) phase can also contrib...

The study of team performance using knowledge elicitation methods can result in the proliferation of large amounts of data. While methods such as the Wagon Wheel Method have been devised to facilitate knowledge elicitation, they often underspecify analysis protocols for dealing with large datasets. Moreover, the representation of the analysis poses challenges for transforming the knowledge gain...

This article surveys the rapidly growing literature that examined influence of Covid-19 on preferences. Based 33 studies, examines how pandemic impacted altruism, cooperation, trust, inequity aversion, risk-taking, and patience/time discounting. Even though survey suggests effect preferences is heterogeneous, some noticeable patterns can be observed in literature. First, case incentivized prefe...
