This paper considers the potential of using patterns of cooperative interaction to support the development of general design principles drawn from a range of work settings. It reports on the development of patterns from ethnographic studies in a number of work environments. Our particular interest is in the possibilities surrounding the use of patterns as a means of organising, presenting and r...

We are currently exploring the design and uses of collaborative computational settings within architectural design and planning. One of our approaches builds on the metaphor of Wunderkammer. The Wunderkammer was imagined (and a first prototype of it is being developed) in talking about architectural practice and the need for ready access to a wide range of inspirational objects in this process ...

research interest include trust in the context of the employment relationship, evaluation, change management and diversity. His main areas of research interest include downsizing, organizational justice, trust and research methods. Abstract In recent years the UK National Health Service (NHS) has been characterised by radical and continuous change at every level. Within the literature, and the ...

This paper reviews and extends educational principles from recent learning sciences literature to address the nuanced needs of creative design education. We have performed a variety of ethnographic and qualitative research activities, including interviews with design students and learning experts, as well as reflecting on our experiences as design educators and practitioners. Our findings ident...

This special issue offers a first systematic qualitative cross-national exploration of how diverse minority groups respond to stigmatization in a wide variety of contexts. This research is the culmination of a coordinated study of stigmatized groups in Brazil, Israel and the USA, as well as of connected research projects conducted in Canada, France, South Africa and Sweden. The issue sheds ligh...

Snowcloud is a data gathering system for snow hydrology field research campaigns conducted in harsh climates and remote areas. The system combines distributed wireless sensor network technology and computational techniques to provide data to researchers at lower cost and higher spatial resolution than ground-based systems using traditional “monolithic” technologies. Supporting the work of a var...

Industrial control systems are becoming increasingly interconnected, and with it their vulnerability to malicious actors. While intrusion detection systems are suited to detect network-based attacks, they remain unable to detect more sophisticated attacks against control systems, for example a compromise of the PLCs. This paper makes the case that the evolving landscape of threats such as the S...

We recommend using backward design to develop course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs). The defining hallmark of CUREs is that students in a formal lab course explore research questions with unknown answers that are broadly relevant outside the course. Because CUREs lead to novel research findings, they represent a unique course design challenge, as the dual nature of these cours...
