“…With a conceptualization of informed consent in hand, they conducted a retrospective analysis of existing technical mechanisms, such as the cookies and web-browser technologies, and redesigned the browser. In another case dealing with the design of the simulation software UrbanSim for supporting urban planning, Borning et al (2005) started with conceptual investigations and distinguished between moral values such as fairness, accountability, and democracy, as well as stakeholder values such as environmental sustainability and walkable neighborhoods. As part of supporting the democratic process, they decided that the model should allow different stakeholders to articulate the values most important to them, and evaluate the alternatives in light of these values.…”

“…Yet, regarding the critiques on the use of a set of preconceived values which are derived from the published literature, we should note that Friedman et al (2006b) consider them incomplete. In addition, concerning the sequence of investigations, even though some cases start with conceptual investigations first (e.g., Borning et al, 2005), they emphasize that the design process can begin from any of the investigation types. For example, Friedman et al (2006a) began with an empirical investigation of a large display installation whereas Miller et al (2007) began with the technical investigation of a groupware system.…”

“…The valuerelated research interests include: understanding the meaning and components of specific values such as fairness, privacy, trust, security (e.g., Palen and Dourish, 2003;Nissenbaum, 2004), investigating users' experience of values in interaction with technology (e.g., Orlikowski, 1992;Zheng et al, 2002), understanding the impact of values and value conflicts (e.g., Kling, 1978;Kumar and Bjorn-Andersen, 1990; Leidner and Kayworth, 2006), proposing methods for dealing with value conflicts deliberatively (Klein and Hirschheim, 2001;Yetim, 2006), and suggesting technological designs to support specific human values explicitly (Borning et al, 2005;Miller et al, 2007;Kobsa, 2007). Finally, there are also works that investigate design methods for incorporating social values (Mumford, 1983;Hirschheim and Klein, 1994;Flanagan et al, 2005;Friedman et al, 2006b).…”

“…The consideration of the three distinct areas of investigation and the assembly of these separate methodological perspectives for dealing with value issues is part of what makes VSD as an attractive candidate when contrasted with other available approaches (Yetim, 2011a). Moreover, VSD is mature enough to be considered for a critical analysis as it has already been applied to a range of technologies, including network browser security (Millet et al, 2001), urban simulation (Borning et al, 2005), large displays (Friedman et al, 2006a), computer-supported cooperative work (Miller et al, 2007), mobile phone parenting safety technologies (Czeskis et al, 2010), and implantable medical devices (Denning et al, 2010). The design and evaluation of methods and methodologies is at the center of design science research (Hevner et al, 2004).…”

Value Sensitive Design (VSD) is a comprehensive framework for advancing a value-centered research and design agenda. It provides methods for producing and evaluating a design outcome by taking human values into account. Drawing on discourse ethics, this paper first critically analyzes the status quo in VSD and identifies some gaps. These mainly concern the lack of explicit methods for supporting a deliberative and legitimate process of decision making with respect to many concerns, including the identification of stakeholders, the legitimation of common design communication, the justification of trade-offs and/or a common regulation in case of competing or incommensurable values, as well as the deliberativeness of other design decisions such as the selection of design goals and means. In addition, this paper suggests ways to move VSD toward the standards of discourse ethics by drawing on the knowledge base of critical research in the Information Systems field. In particular, the suggestions concern the inclusion of a practical method for boundary critique and different types of discourses and principles as well as discourse support methods and tools for structuring participation in a way that allows participants to deal with the plurality of values, norms, goals and means deliberatively. Finally, this paper revisits a VSD case and explores the applicability of the ideas suggested.

“…Designing social infrastructure aims at supporting mutual awareness and accountability and thus facilitating participation and collaboration. Interpretation and understanding of those actions can influence the direction of public decision making [15], influence reputations [16], notions of expertise [17], as well as other aspects of collaboration.…”

Participatory sensing is a new research area that emerged from the need to complement our previous efforts in wireless sensor networks. It takes advantage of the emergence of rich-sensor mobile phones and their wide adoption, in order to turn people to producers of sensed data and enable new classes of collective applications. Unavoidably, this raises a lot of privacy concerns, as people are becoming sensors and give out a lot of personal information, like their location. If we choose to protect their privacy by anonymizing the data and completely hiding any identifying information, then the visibility of their contributions to others is lost. However, it is important to maintain this property, in order to support accountability on one hand and allow people gain reputation for their efforts on the other hand. In this book chapter we investigate which of the available technical solutions we need, in order to resolve this conflict and what are the research directions that emerge.

Forthcoming in P. Zhang & D. Galletta (Eds.), Human-Computer Interaction in Management Information Systems: Foundations. M.E. Sharpe, Inc: NY. ________________________________________________________________________ Value Sensitive Design is a theoretically grounded approach to the design of technology that accounts for human values in a principled and comprehensive manner throughout the design process. It employs an integrative and iterative tripartite methodology, consisting of conceptual, empirical, and technical investigations. We explicate Value Sensitive Design by drawing on three case studies. The first study concerns information and control of web browser cookies, implicating the value of informed consent. The second study concerns using high-definition plasma displays in an office environment to provide a "window" to the outside world, implicating the values of physical and psychological well-being and privacy in public spaces. The third study concerns an integrated land use, transportation, and environmental simulation system to support public deliberation and debate on major land use and transportation decisions, implicating the values of fairness, accountability, and support for the democratic process, as well as a highly diverse range of values that might be held by different stakeholders, such as environmental sustainability, opportunities for business expansion, or walkable neighborhoods. We conclude with direct and practical suggestions for how to engage in Value Sensitive Design.
