A disaster response system based on human-agent collectives (2016)
Journal Article
Ramchurn, S. D., Huynh, T. D., Wu, F., Ikuno, Y., Flann, J., Moreau, L., …Jennings, N. R. (2016). A disaster response system based on human-agent collectives. Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research, 57, 661-708. https://doi.org/10.1613/jair.5098

Major natural or man-made disasters such as Hurricane Katrina or the 9/11 terror attacks pose significant challenges for emergency responders. First, they have to develop an understanding of the unfolding event either using their own resources or thr... Read More about A disaster response system based on human-agent collectives.

A multimodal approach to assessing user experiences with agent helpers (2016)
Journal Article
Adolphs, S., Clark, L., Ofemile, A., & Rodden, T. (2016). A multimodal approach to assessing user experiences with agent helpers. ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems, 6(4), Article 29. https://doi.org/10.1145/2983926

The study of agent helpers using linguistic strategies such as vague language and politeness has often come across obstacles. One of these is the quality of the agent's voice and its lack of appropriate fit for using these strategies. The first appro...

Designing touch screen user interfaces for future flight deck operations (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Avsar, H., Fischer, J. E., & Rodden, T. (2016). Designing touch screen user interfaces for future flight deck operations.

Many interactional issues with Flight Management Systems (FMS) in modern flight decks have been reported. Avionics designers are seeking for ways to reduce cognitive load of pilots with the aim to reduce the potential for human error. Academic resear...

Mixed method approach in designing flight decks with touch screens: a framework (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Avsar, H., Fischer, J. E., & Rodden, T. (2016). Mixed method approach in designing flight decks with touch screens: a framework.

Touch screen technology’s first public appearance was in the early 2000s. Touch screens became a part of the daily life with the invention of smartphones and tablets. Now, this technology has the potential to be the next big change in flight deck des... Read More about Mixed method approach in designing flight decks with touch screens: a framework.

Tariff agent: interacting with a future smart energy system at home (2016)
Journal Article
Alan, A. T., Costanza, E., Ramchurn, S. D., Fischer, J. E., Rodden, T., & Jennings, N. R. (2016). Tariff agent: interacting with a future smart energy system at home. ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction, 23(4), https://doi.org/10.1145/2943770

Smart systems are becoming increasingly ubiquitous and consequently transforming our lives. The level of system autonomy plays a vital role in the development of smart systems as it profoundly affects how people and these systems interact with each o...

On Lions, Impala, and Bigraphs: Modelling Interactions in Physical/Virtual Spaces (2016)
Journal Article
Benford, S., Calder, M., Rodden, T., & Sevegnani, M. (2016). On Lions, Impala, and Bigraphs: Modelling Interactions in Physical/Virtual Spaces. ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction, 23(2), Article 9. https://doi.org/10.1145/2882784

© 2016 ACM. While HCI has a long tradition of formally modelling task-based interactions with graphical user interfaces, there has been less progress in modelling emerging ubiquitous computing systems due in large part to their highly contextual natu...

“Just whack it on until it gets hot”: working with IoT data in the home (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fischer, J. E., Crabtree, A., Rodden, T., Colley, J. A., Costanza, E., Jewell, M. O., & Ramchurn, S. D. (2016). “Just whack it on until it gets hot”: working with IoT data in the home.

This paper presents findings from a co-design project that aims to augment the practices of professional energy advisors with environmental data from sensors deployed in clients’ homes. Premised on prior ethnographic observations we prototyped a sens... Read More about “Just whack it on until it gets hot”: working with IoT data in the home.
