BID An interdisciplinary research/teaching program in design at Berkeley. Planning a Ph.D. degree, and 2-year Masters Affiliated with CITRIS Spanning computer science, mechanical design and architectural design.

Design of Environments Computing is expanding from workstations, to networks, to environments filled with devices which support human activity. Figure © Arnold Wasserman, the idea Factory

Design of Environments BID takes an architectural approach. We start with the context, create design goals, then find best solutions. Figure © Arnold Wasserman, the idea Factory

BID Space 4000 sq ft in Hearst Mining Building Ph.D. students occupying in F02

BID Update Kickoff meeting was on Feb 15th 15 BID AB members + 20 BID faculty Strong support for the curriculum plan Two AB members offered to pilot courses in 02-03 academic year – drafted one new course Web site is up – www.bid.berkeley.edu

UCB’s VDC (Virtual Development Center) Sponsored by the Institute for Women in Technology Incubates design projects chosen for and by women – synergistic with BID “Innovation workshop,” UCB 1/26/02 Linked with CS160 last semester (James Landay) Involved a community of non-technical women Women with disabilities from “CTP”

BID Research Design methods, especially for ubiquitous and context-aware computing environments. Tools for designers: Rapid and informal prototyping Capturing and retrieving design knowledge Design critics for manufacturability and performance

BID Research New materials and fabrication techniques: Desktop mechatronics Integration: Design in context involves: Psychology, education theory, social theory, legal issues, public policy issues…

Academics 2-year Masters program – 30 students per year target. Ph.D. program – 30 students located in BID space. Graduate group (degree-granting unit) in design. Piloting courses in Fall 2002.

CITRIS-Related HCI Research John Canny, James Landay, Jennifer Mankoff, Anind Dey, Marti Hearst (SIMS)

Infrastructure for Context Awareness – James Landay Increasing number of input channels into the computer Pushing towards implicit acquisition of data Creating better models Pushing towards the physical and social Using the input and models in useful ways Automatically taking simple and predictable actions Passing on the info to people to help make better decisions Example Apps Emergency response teams Improved input for people with disabilities

Infrastructure for Context Awareness Provide network-oriented set of abstractions, mechanisms, and programming model Scalability Scale to lots of people, places, things, and sensors Scale to long periods of time, large geographic distances Data-oriented and P2P, based on information spaces Privacy Tremendous source of valid criticism of ubicomp Provide suite of privacy protection mechanisms Base on Fair Information Practices and Information Asymmetry

Context-aware Decision Support for Emergency Response – James Landay Coordinated decision-making under stress offensive/defensive operations, search & rescue, resource planning real time, opportunistic, high stake, high stress breakdowns result in the loss of lives and property Our Approach distributed cognitive task model for decision-making under stress identify major breakdowns & leverage points in decision-making process context-aware decision support system for emergency response

IO group: Input and Output out of the box – Jennifer Mankoff, Anind Dey Themes Assistive Technology Ubiquitous Computing Commonalities Share a need to support alternative Inputs and Outputs Require new approaches to evaluation

IO research projects Ambient Nutrition Awareness Ubicomp Assistive Technology Ambient Awareness Ambient Display design and evaluation Nutrition Community connections End-user privacy support Adaptation to changes in input devices (pen vs voice vs keyboard) Context-aware word completion Nutrition

User Interaction Design for Secure Systems - Marti Hearst Security depends critically on information conveyed by the User Interface Model a system in terms of Actors Actions The Actor-Ability State Identified 10 Key Design Principles Illustrated with detailed case studies

Collaborative Filtering with Privacy - John Canny Goal is to allow computation with privacy for ubicomp applications. Developed a P2P protocol which allows aggregation preserving privacy – users can create their own groups. Developed a new CF algorithm using the aggregate as a model. The most accurate and fastest developed so far. Applicable to other tasks like informal groups, expertise, etc… 1/3/2019

LiveNotes – John Canny LiveNotes supports small-group learning in normal lecture classrooms (5-7 students.) Uses wirelessly-networked Pen computers. P2P group communication for flexibility. Two-tier system Student to group Student to instructor Class to instructor Distance learning Remote students have local peers
