This one-day workshop aims to present different local and indigenous perspectives from all over the world in order to lead into an international dialogue on re-framing concepts and models in HCI/Interaction Design. The target audience is HCI researchers and practitioners who have experience with working with culture and HCI. The expected outcome of the workshop is a) network building among the ...

Government information system failures are filling not only newspapers but also parliamentary and administrative reports. This article deals with a case in which information and communication technologies (ICT)–related failure claimed by the media influenced the parliamentary agenda, and intra-governmental relations. Drawing on a narrative analysis of a Dutch parliamentary commission’s hearings...

The author examines the mechanisms and dynamics of framing effects in risky choices across three distinct task domains (i.e., life-death, public property, and personal money). The choice outcomes of the problems presented in each of the three task domains had a binary structure of a sure thing vs a gamble of equal expected value; the outcomes differed in their framing conditions and the expecte...

In most watermarking schemes for copyright protection, a seller always knows the embedded watermark identifying a buyer. However, it incurs both repudiation issue and framing issue. To solve these problems, many watermarking protocols have been proposed based on watermarking schemes in the encrypted domain. In this paper, we enhance an existing watermarking scheme and discuss public key cryptos...

We present an implementation of the loop representation of quantum gravity on a square lattice. Instead of starting from a classical lattice theory, quantizing and introducing loops, we proceed backwards, setting up constraints in the lattice loop representation and showing that they have appropriate (singular) continuum limits and algebras. The diffeomorphism constraint reproduces the classica...

Framing in news is the way in which journalists depict an issue in terms of a ‘central organizing idea.’ Frames can be a perspective on an issue. We explore the automatic classification of four generic news frames: conflict, human interest, economic consequences, and morality. Complex characteristics of messages such as frames have been studied using thematic content analysis. Indicator questio...

This special issue contains a selection of articles presented at the 2005 conference in Västerås. The other part of the material will appear in a book Dodig-Crnkovic G. We are very pleased to have been able to work in this dynamic area of Computing and Philosophy with such a distinguished group of people, each one of whom has provided us with some fresh way of framing some of the most significa...

We propose a method for using neural networks to attribute quotes in literary texts. Since previous work has been unable to successfully solve this problem based on bag-of-words features, we study the issue of whether this is due to the limited expressiveness of such features. By re-framing the modeling of quotes and characters as based off of word vectors, we hope to demonstrate that individua...

The mass media have the potential to be powerful friends or foes in promoting breastfeeding. The media could help by putting the issue of breastfeeding on policy agendas and by framing breastfeeding as healthy and normative for baby and mother. Currently, however, it looks as if the media are more often contributing to perceptions that breastfeeding is difficult for mothers and potentially dang...
