BACKGROUND The idea that behaviour can be influenced at population level by altering the environments within which people make choices (choice architecture) has gained traction in policy circles. However, empirical evidence to support this idea is limited, especially its application to changing health behaviour. We propose an evidence-based definition and typology of choice architecture interve...

Architecting service-oriented application is a complex design activity. It involves making trade-offs among a number of interdependent design choices, which are drawn from a range of concerns by various software stakeholders. In order to achieve reliable and efficient SOA design, we believe a rigorous study of architectural style is important. Hence this paper aims at providing a formative surv...

We report on a longitudinal study of the emergence of the ATLAS detector, a complex technological system developed at CERN, Geneva. Our data show that justification is an important mechanism for coordination, and that it results in the creation of interlaced knowledge, i.e., a partial overlapping of knowledge across actors and groups. Neither ?modular? nor ?common,? such interlaced knowledge co...
