  • Ethics & Tracking Via Technology – Getting Ahead of the Game
    ! ! Ethics & Tracking via Technology – ! Getting Ahead of the Game. Moira A Gunn1 University of San Francisco ! Paul Lorton, Jr. University of San Francisco !Summary The variety of modes and manners in which technology can assist our evaluation efforts is expanding very rapidly and working on insinuating devices into every nook and cranny of our being. Potentially this is a great boon to expanding the scope and enhancing the precision of our data generation and subsequent insight into the dimensions we seek to assess. On the other hand, should we be deploying these gadgets into what may be private and intrusive areas of our evaluatees lives? Is what we can do crossing the line which governs what we ought to do? Looking at, especially, the biometric tracking sensors becoming available, their capabilities and vulnerabilities, we address the disclosure and ethical concerns building on the increasing body of guidelines and law building around the existing GPS tracking and the use of RFID tags to monitor behavior in evaluative efforts.! !Introduction Trackable sensors now becoming available for monitoring the behavior of participants in evaluations of all sorts where direct data can replace self-reporting raise a variety of issues which need to be explicitly addressed in thinking about integrating technology into evaluation. Many of these issues increasingly involve the ethical, even legal, concerns the employment such devices can raise. ! Some of these trackable sensors include the existing and increasingly employed GPS capability and RFID tags both passive and active. In the biometric realm, tracking includes the ability to monitor physical activity reJlections such as pedometers, heart, blood pressure & oxygen, temperature monitors.

  • Ist Ein Perspektivenwechsel Der Informatik Durch Ein Mögliches Verschwinden Der Grenze Zwischen Physischem Objekt Und Software Notwendig?
    Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg Fakultät für Informatik Bachelorarbeit Ist ein Perspektivenwechsel der Informatik durch ein mögliches Verschwinden der Grenze zwischen physischem Objekt und Software notwendig? Christian Ingo Bekel Magdeburg, 7. Januar 2016 Betreuer: Prof. Dr. Hans-Knud Arndt Institut für technische und betriebliche Informationssysteme Gutes Design ist so wenig Design wie möglich Dieter Rams Zusammenfassung Neue Produkte wie die Apple Watch stellen eine Symbiose aus physischem Objekt und Software dar. Historisch gewachsen ist jedoch eine Grenze zwischen der Software und dem physischen Objekt. Dies lässt sich leicht an den unterschiedlichen Gestaltungs- prinzipien, die für Software und für physische Objekte gelten, erahnen. Diese Arbeit beantwortet die Frage, ob ein Perspektivwechsel in der Informatik notwendig ist, da bei neuen Geräten, wie der Apple Watch, eine Grenze zwischen dem physischen Objekt und der Software nicht mehr wahrnehmbar ist. Hierzu wird zunächst die Geschichte der Fir- ma Apple und deren Produkte, sowie die Geschichte der Firma Braun, die untrennbar mit dem Design von Apple verbunden ist, beschrieben. Im zweiten Abschnitt werden die verschiedenen Ansätze zur Gestaltung aufgeführt. Dies sind zum einen Vorgaben für die Gestaltung physischer Gegenstände, zum anderen Normen und Richtlinien für den Entwurf und die Gestaltung von Software. Daraufhin werden die Funktionen der Apple Watch beschrieben, sowie die persönliche Erfahrung des Autors mit diesem Produkt dar- gestellt. Abschließend wird die Frage beantwortet, ob ein Perspektivwechsel notwendig ist und wie dieser aussehen könnte. 3 Inhaltsverzeichnis 1 Einführung 8 2 Das Design der Firma Apple 10 2.1 Die Firma Braun . 10 2.2 Dieter Rams . 10 2.3 Die Firma Apple . 12 2.3.1 Apple Macintosh .
