Asynchronous Remote Communities (ARC) for Researching Distributed Populations

چکیده
Existing research methods are largely intended to be conducted colocated and synchronously with a study population, but this approach is not feasible with remote or distributed populations. We describe a needs assessment study we conducted on Facebook. We report on our use of adapted versions of commonly used HCI research methods and lessons learned from this approach.

A Guide to Using Asynchronous Remote Communities (ARC) for Researching Distributed Populations
Existing research methods are largely intended to be conducted co-located and synchronously with a study population, but this approach is not feasible with remote or distributed populations. We describe a needs assessment study we conducted on Facebook. We report on our use of adapted versions of commonly used HCI research methods and lessons learned from this approach.

متن کاملConsiderations for Using the Asynchronous Remote Communities (ARC) Method in Health Informatics Research
The Asynchronous Remote Community (ARC) method draws from existing Human Computer Interaction (HCI) methods such as focus groups, interviews, diaries, and scenarios. It applies them to an online platform to take advantage of the unique properties of qualitative research conducted through online forums. Drawing on existing literature1, 2 and our experiences running an ARC study with individuals ...
متن کاملDefining Through Expansion: Conducting Asynchronous Remote Communities (ARC) Research with Stigmatized Groups
Researchers in HCI have typically relied on face to face (FtF) methods for recruitment and data collection in their research with people living with HIV, whereas social scientists have adopted computer-mediated approaches to address concerns about data validity and access to this stigmatized population. In this paper, we use the asynchronous remote community (ARC) research method to leverage HC...
متن کاملDALD:-Distributed-Asynchronous-Local-Decontamination Algorithm in Arbitrary Graphs
Network environments always can be invaded by intruder agents. In networks where nodes are performing some computations, intruder agents might contaminate some nodes. Therefore, problem of decontaminating a network infected by intruder agents is one of the major problems in these networks. In this paper, we present a distributed asynchronous local algorithm for decontaminating a network. In mos...
متن کاملPattern-Based Design of an Asynchronous Invocation Framework for Web Services
Asynchronous invocations are needed in the context of distributed object frameworks to prevent clients from blocking during remote invocations. Popular Web Service frameworks offer only synchronous invocations (over HTTP). An alternative are messaging protocols but these implement a different communication paradigm. When client asynchrony is not supported, client developers have to build asynch...
