Contemporary Computer Supported Cooperative Work Research

phd course

Contemporary Computer Supported Cooperative Work Research

This PhD course is for PhD students conducting their research within the areas of Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) and Human Centred Design – currently working on positioning their research theoretically to push the boundaries for the novel and contemporary research contributions in CSCW research.

Contemporary CSCW research – How to create the literature scaffolding of contemporary CSCW PhD research which link to foundational aspects of CSCW while pushing the CSCW research into new contemporary areas of research.

Theoretical themes include (but not limited to) Articulation work & Coordination, Classifications & Categories, Awareness & Translucence; Infrastructures & Invisible Work; Knowledge Sharing & Common Information Spaces.

Learning outcome

  • Develop CSCW research questions looking to the past and thinking about the future
  • Identify and discuss contemporary CSCW research literature directions
  • Analyze, and extend current CSCW research towards future contemporary research directions and frameworks

After the course, students will have a foundational base for developing their theoretical research framework for their CSCW thesis – which both connects to the past, while focus on future contemporary directions.

Robotfestival: Vilde Robotter løser vilde problemer

Robotfestival

Vilde robotter løser vilde problemer

Robotter er en af de væsentlige teknologier i arbejdet med at løse vor tids store velfærdsproblemer.

Potentialerne er først for alvor ved at gå op for os nu, og udviklingen går stærkt. Netop disse aspekter sættes der fokus på, når der for allerførste gang afholdes robotfestival på Dokk1 i Aarhus.

  • Fredag 25.8 zoomes der ind på de forretnings- og velfærdsmæssige potentialer, når spændende robotvirksomheder, roboteksperter og kommuner fortæller og showcaser de mange muligheder, der allerede er på markedet idag, men de fortæller også om alle de muligheder, der ligger lige rundt om hjørnet.


  • Lørdag 26.8 sættes der fokus på de legende og lærende aspekter, når vi inviterer til robotoplevelser, robotleg og robotkreativitet for alle aldre.

Robotfestivalen er et samarbejde mellem ITK Aarhus Kommune, Aarhus City Lab, GovTech Midtjylland, Odense Robotics, Udenrigsministeriet, Aarhus Universitet, Dansk IT, Dokk1, DIREC – Digital Research Centre Denmark – og en række andre aktører inden for robotindustrien.

Webinar: Boost konkurrenceevnen med cybersikkerhed

WEBINAR

Boost konkurrenceevnen med cybersikkerhed

Danmark hører til blandt verdens førende i brug af teknologi og digitale løsninger. Desværre er cybersikkerheden ikke helt fulgt med, og særligt SMV’erne er sårbare. Næsten hver fjerde mindre virksomhed blev ramt af hackerangreb sidste år.

Stærke kompetencer inden for cybersikkerhed er afgørende for at beskytte vores vitale, kritiske infrastrukturer, systemer og data. Men øget fokus på cybersikkerhed kan også booste virksomhedens konkurrenceevne. Det viser en rapport fra Industriens Fond.

Udover at øge virksomhedens forsvar mod IT-kriminelle, kan en virksomhed, der arbejder aktivt med cybersikkerhed også opleve er række andre fordele, som at blive mere digital, få effektiviseret forretningen og få et bedre overblik over virksomheden. Desuden er SMV’er, der har implementeret en effektiv cybersikkerhedsstrategi mere tilbøjelige til at opleve øget omsætning, større markedsandele og bedre kundetilfredshed end SMV’er, der ikke har implementeret en sådan strategi.

Deltag i webinaret, bliv klogere på cybersikkerhed og hør, hvordan I kan bruge cybersikkerhed som et konkurrenceparameter, der differentierer jer fra jeres konkurrenter og øger jeres konkurrenceevne. 

Oplægsholdere: 

  • Nadika Bulathsinhala, projektleder i Industriens Fond
    Industriens Fonds Cyberbarometer 2022
    Nadika præsenterer resultaterne fra Industriens Fonds Cyberbarometer 2022 og fortæller om, hvordan man som virksomhed kan starte sin cybersikkerhedsrejse. 
     
  • Tawfiq Alashoor, Assistant Professor, CBS
    The Psychology & Economics of Privacy Decisions in the Digital Age
    Tawfiq will cover major topics in the multi-disciplinary domain of privacy starting with the basic principles of security and closing with data practices and implications at the individual, organizational, and country level. Topics related to privacy regulations, surveillance systems, social engineering, and ethics will also be touched upon briefly. The session will have more emphasis on privacy manipulation techniques that can influence employees’ privacy decisions. Such manipulation techniques may not only expose personal information assets, but also directly or indirectly expose organizational information assets which could present catastrophic security risks at the individual, organizational, and country level. The session will leave you with substantial soft knowledge and skills that will help you make informed privacy decisions.

PhD course: Confronting Data Through Design Methods

PHD Course

Confronting Data Through Design Methods

 
Join this new PhD course and explore different modes of inquiry with data-applying design methods.


The focus will be on the implications for researchers working in the fields of Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Participatory Design (PD) and Critical Data Studies, but the course is open to PhD students from all areas of work and design studies.


Lectures by:



  • Majken Overgaard, who is heading CATCH known for its curatorial focus on the possibilities of imagining new technological futures as activism. She is an external lecturer at ITU and the co-founder of Korridor – a new digital art collective – investigating emerging culture and art online right now, such as blockchains, web3 and NFT.
  • James Auger, who is the director of the design department at LMF, ENS Paris-Saclay and co-director of the Centre de Recherche en Design (ENS & ENSCI). He is also an Associate Professor at RMIT (Europe). His work explores ways through which practice-based design research can lead to more considered and democratic technological futures.
  • Naja Holten Møller, who is an Associate Professor at DIKU. She is the founder of the Confronting Data Co-lab, a cooperation of scholars working and acting together in support of the stakeholders we encounter and engage with in our research, focusing on critical public technologies.

The participants gain knowledge of:

  • speculative design as a method
  • how to apply speculative design in practice,
  • and the criteria for evaluating research within this field.

The PhD course is organized by Ass. Prof. Naja L. Holten Møller and PhD fellow Trine Rask Nielsen and Kristin Kaltenhäuser from the University of Copenhagen with support from DIREC.

VaMos 2023

VaMos 2023

17th International Working Conference on Variability Modelling of Software-Intensive Systems

VaMoS brings together researchers and practitioners to share ideas, results, and experiences about the quest for mastering variability.

Most of today’s software is made variable to allow for more adaptability and economies of scale, while many development practices (e.g., DevOps, A/B testing, parameter tuning, continuous integration) support this goal of engineering software variants.

VaMoS is the ideal venue to explore the underlying problems (automation, traceability, combinatorial explosion) and their solutions. As such, in addition to its usual call for technical research papers, VaMoS strongly supports the participation of aspiring young researchers as well as practitioners from industry.

Find more info about VaMoS

With support of the Carlsberg Foundation and DIREC, the organizers offer 10 free registrations for the VaMoS conference to motivated PhD students or postdocs that wish to attend the conference.
