"Like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic"? Feasibility, Fairness, and Ethical Concerns of a Citizen Carbon Budget for Reducing CO2 Emissions (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Reyes-Cruz, G., Craigon, P., Piskopani, A., Dowthwaite, L., Lu, Y., Lisinska, J., …Fischer, J. (in press). "Like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic"? Feasibility, Fairness, and Ethical Concerns of a Citizen Carbon Budget for Reducing CO2 Emissions. . https://doi.org/10.1145/3630106.3658904

Radical and disruptive interventions are needed to reach "Net Zero" by 2050 to avert the climate catastrophe. Although governments, companies, cities, and institutions have pledged to take action and reduce their carbon emissions, the idea of persona...

The Effect of Predictive Formal Modelling at Runtime on Performance in Human-Swarm Interaction (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Abioye, A. O., Hunt, W., Gu, Y., Schneiders, E., Naiseh, M., Fischer, J. E., …Sevegnani, M. (2024). The Effect of Predictive Formal Modelling at Runtime on Performance in Human-Swarm Interaction. In HRI ’24 Companion of the 2024 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (172-176). https://doi.org/10.1145/3610978.3640725

Formal Modelling is often used as part of the design and testing process of software development to ensure that components operate within suitable bounds even in unexpected circumstances. In this paper, we use predictive formal modelling (PFM) at run... Read More about The Effect of Predictive Formal Modelling at Runtime on Performance in Human-Swarm Interaction.

Designing Multispecies Worlds for Robots, Cats, and Humans (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Schneiders, E., Benford, S., Chamberlain, A., Mancini, C., Castle-Green, S., Ngo, V., …Fischer, J. (in press). Designing Multispecies Worlds for Robots, Cats, and Humans. In Proceedings of the CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI ’24), May 11–16, 2024, Honolulu, HI, USA. https://doi.org/10.1145/3613904.3642115

We reflect on the design of a multispecies world centred around a be-spoke enclosure in which three cats and a robot arm coexist for six hours a day during a twelve-day installation as part of an artist-led project. In this paper, we present the proj... Read More about Designing Multispecies Worlds for Robots, Cats, and Humans.

Charting Ethical Tensions in Multispecies Technology Research through Beneficiary-Epistemology Space (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Benford, S., Mancini, C., Chamberlain, A., Schneiders, E., Castle-Green, S., Fischer, J., …Ju, R. F. (in press). Charting Ethical Tensions in Multispecies Technology Research through Beneficiary-Epistemology Space.

While ethical challenges are widely discussed in HCI, far less is reported about the ethical processes that researchers routinely navigate. We reflect on a multispecies project that negotiated an especially complex ethical approval process. Cat Royal...
