PAPER ONE
An Organizational Study into the Concept of ?Automation Policy? in a Safety Critical Socio-Technical System
Paola Amaldi (Department of Psychology, University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, UK) and Anthony Smoker (NATS, Southampton, UK)
Although automation has been introduced in all areas of public life, what seems to be missing is a reflection at the organizational or societal level about a policy of automation. By this the authors intend appropriate declarations made at the level of rationale, future plans and strategies to achieve intended goals and most importantly how those achievements will impact on various aspects of societal life, from legal responsibilities to moral and socio economic issues. Implicit in this is what is expected of both the human and technical system actors. In some public spheres these issues are becoming quite controversial because automation opens up possibilities of profound structural re-organization; however, people lack a discussion across and within different work domains to help us review methods or even methodological principles needed to gather and organize knowledge towards the construction of automation policies. This paper uses the UK Air Navigation Service Provider i n the Air Traffic Management Domain known as NATS, as a case study to illustrate an example of an organization currently undertaking critical self-reflection about automation policy or the lack of such, along with the illustration of some unresolved deep concerns raised by the development, introduction, and continued use of automation.

PAPER TWO
Speech Interaction Analysis on Collaborative Work at an Elderly Care Facility
Tetsuro Chino (Corporate Research & Development Center, Toshiba Corporation, Kawasaki, Japan), Kentaro Torii (Corporate Research & Development Center, Toshiba Corporation, Kawasaki, Japan), Naoshi Uchihira (School of Knowledge Science, Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Nomi City, Japan) and Yuji Hirabayashi (Institute of Technology, Shimizu Corporation, Tokyo, Japan)
Nursing and care are central aspects of healthcare services, and improvements in the quality and efficiency of healthcare processes are important issues. Since these tasks involve both physical actions and information processing, they can be described as what the authors call ?action-oriented intellectual services.? There are striking mismatches between such services and current information and communication technology systems, which are generally designed as tools for deskwork. In addition, almost all nursing and care services are realized by the collaborative work of multiple staff members in distributed locations in the field, a situation with which conventional communication media are of limited utility. A smart voice tweet system for nursing and care is proposed to overcome these problems. To realize this technology, one needs to understand how staff communicates to realize collaborative work in healthcare domains. The authors therefore observed bathing assistance, night shift operations, and handover tasks at a private elderly care home for 8 days. The authors collected approximately 400 h of recorded speech, 42,000 transcribed utterances, data from an indoor location-tracking system, and handwritten notes by human observers. The authors also analyzed speech interactions in the bathing assistance task. The authors found that (1) staff members were almost always speaking during tasks, (2) remote communication was rare, (3) about 75% of utterances were spoken to the residents, (4) the intended recipient of utterances was frequently switched, and (5) about 17% of utterances contained personal names. The authors also attempted clustering utterances into what the authors call ?passages?, and about 33% of passages contained only one personal name. These results should be applicable in semi-automatic long-term care record taking.

PAPER THREE
Work Analysis Methods in Practice: The Context of Collaborative Review of CAD Models
Pedro Campos (Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute, University of Madeira, Funchal, Portugal), Hildegardo Noronha (Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute, University of Madeira, Funchal, Portugal) and Arminda Lopes (Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute, University of Madeira, Funchal, Portugal)
Human work interaction design is an emerging discipline that aims to encourage empirical studies and conceptualizations of the interaction among humans, their variegated social contexts and the technology they use both within and across these contexts. In this paper the authors present a virtual reality system for visualization, navigation and reviewing of 3D CAD models within the oil industry domain. This system combines a large-screen interaction environment with remote mobile devices, thus allowing engineers in the field and teams in a control center to work in collaboration. To navigate through models the system uses the mobile device?s camera and inertial sensors and takes advantage of recent natural interaction techniques on large-screen environments. The authors describe and elaborate around the usage of different work analysis methods in this complex, real world work domain. The analysis is based on (i) input from experts in the oil platform engineering field, (ii) pr evious and related work and (iii) application of different methods considering the recent advances in technology. The authors conclude that hierarchical task analysis was not effective in obtaining a clear, common vision about the work domain. Storyboarding was the most useful technique as it promoted the discovery of novelty factors that differentiate the solution, while simultaneously supporting the human work at offshore engineering design and review sessions.

PAPER FOUR
Feedback Fidelities in Three Different Types of Crisis Management Training Environments
Olga Druzhinina (University of Iceland, Reykjavik, Iceland), Ebba Thora Hvannberg (University of Iceland, Reykjavik, Iceland) and Gyda Halldorsdottir (University of Iceland, Reykjavik, Iceland)
Designing feedback that trainees receive in a training simulator while practicing non-technical skills in complex cognitive domains is demanding but, though potentially productive, has received inadequate attention. This paper describes research which aims to understand the impact of fidelity on feedback provided during training for crisis management. More specifically, the goal was to learn whether there were differences between learning feedback types in three different environments, a real-life training exercise, a table-top exercise and a design of an experiential training simulator. The basis for the comparison was a framework of essential feedback types that emerged from the literature and three types of fidelities, physical, functional and psychological. The study showed that there were few occurrences of psychological fidelities of feedback. It also showed that high fidelity can be achieved in the absence of feedback forms categorized as psychological, and that loose organization of an exercise may lead to significant variation in learning outcomes in different learning environments. In addition, the research demonstrated how the fidelity analysis of feedback types can be useful for designing feedback for learners in a training simulator.

PAPER FIVE
A Gestural Recognition Interface for Intelligent Wheelchair Users
Ricardo Proen?a (Instituto Polit?cnico de Castelo Branco, Escola Superior de Tecnologia, Castelo Branco, Portugal), Arminda Guerra (Instituto Polit?cnico de Castelo Branco, Escola Superior de Tecnologia, Castelo Branco, Portugal) and Pedro Campos (Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute, University of Madeira, Funchal, Portugal)
The authors present a new system that exploits novel human-machine interfaces based on the recognition of static gestures of human hands. The aim is to aid the occupant of a wheelchair to have access to certain objects in order to facilitate his or her daily life. The authors? approach is based on simple computational processes and low-cost hardware. Its development involves a comprehensive approach to computer vision problems based on video image capture, image segmentation, feature extraction, pattern recognition and classification. The importance of this work will be reflected in the way that differently-able users, with the use of new models of interaction, and in a natural and intuitive way, will have their life significantly facilitated.

PAPER SIX
A Web-Based Interactive Questionnaire for PV Application
Zheng Dai (Realtime Targeting, Copenhagen, Denmark) and Kasper Paasch (Mads Clausen Institute, University of Southern Denmark, S?nderborg, Denmark)
Questionnaire is a fundamental method for investigation and research, but participants get tired about it, because of the impression of being long and boring, which causes low quality of research. The authors developed an interactive questionnaire as an effective method to involve responder actively. The development of this tool is dynamic process, which goes with a research project called Sunrise-PV. The project is led by the University of Southern Denmark and is collaboration between local organizations to popularize PV system in both residential and the industrial buildings. For such an innovative research, the authors adopt participatory design as research method to develop the research tool in several iterations. Moreover, the authors get a balanced perspective between user needs, market viability, and technical feasibility, which guide their research focus on the artistic and usability aspects, and also raise product concepts and the concern of technical issues.

Hello, all -
I'd like to get some suggestions for a course I'm teaching. I'm doing an STS-type course on communication technologies, and I want to include a unit focusing on gender. Can anyone suggest contemporary feminist- or gender studies-inflected STS scholarship on communication technologies? I have a few things in mind, but I'd love to broaden my library in this area.

Dear Rob Gehl,
Within the HCI discipline, Shaowen Bardzel has done some excellent work on feminism. You can find much of her work in the ACM digital library. There was also a recent issue of Interacting with Computers that focused on feminism, co-edited by Shaowen and Elizabeth Churchill. (Full disclosure: They accepted a brief article by me for that issue of IwC, and I provided minor help with reviewing.)
