Open House

Last year's Open House received great reviews, so this year we again will feature an Open House, from 11:05 - 1:05. Attendees will be able to:

  • Tour our labs.
  • See demonstrations and posters.
  • Meet with faculty and students.
  • Learn about current research projects.

Personalization and Privacy Lab
Prof. Alfred Kobsa
Location: DBH building, room 5011(fifth floor, conference room and foyer)

The personalization and privacy lab conducts research on tailoring human-computer interaction to the needs of each individual user, and on reconciling the benefits that personalization provides with the privacy concerns that it evokes. Visitors can see presentations on social privacy and adoption of location-sharing social media in the real world, and on supporting the discovery of personal behavioral rules in a health maintenance system for people with diabetes.

Posters and demos to be presented include:

  • "The Persuasive Effect of Privacy Recommendations for Location-Sharing Services." Poster.
    Bart Knijnenburg, Hongxia Jin (Samsung), Gokay Saldamli (Samsung) and Richard Chow (Samsung)
  • "User-Testing Recommender Systems: 4 Essential Steps." Poster.
    Bart Knijnenburg, Martijn Willemsen (Eindhoven University of Technology) and Alfred Kobsa
  • "HealthWatch: Discovering Personal Behavioral Rules for Health Maintenance." Demo, Open House only.
    Alfred Kobsa, Yunan Chen, and Tao Wang

Prof. Debra Richardson's Research Group
Location: DBH building, room 5011 (fifth floor, conference room and foyer)

Prof. Debra Richardson's research group focuses on requirements engineering and software quality, specifically exploring how to adapt these and software engineering technologies to be usable within the context of a wider variety of stakeholders as well as investigating how software engineering can be extended to help solve some of the world’s critical problems – ICT support for human development in less economically developed regions and sustainability of our environment.

Visit with Prof. Richardson's research group and see a poster of one such research project:

  • "Software Engineering for Sustainability - looking for case studies." Poster. Creation of a methodology to develop software-intensive systems that meet the functional needs of users while reducing the environmental impacts brought about by those systems.
