Personal data is increasingly important in our lives. We use
personal data to quantify our behaviour, through health apps or for 'personal
branding' and we are also increasingly forced to part with our data to
access services.
With a proliferation of embedded sensors, the built environment
is playing a key role in this developing use of data, even though this remains
relatively hidden. Buildings are sites for the capture of personal
data, such as oyster card gateways or WIFI hotspots. This data is used to
adapt buildings to people's behaviour, for example when a card reader opens a
door or occupancy changes the light levels in a building. Increasingly,
organisations use this data to understand how buildings are occupied and
how communities develop, and data supports design processes, when
architects record requirements of their clients, and encode this in Building
Information Models (BIM).
Emerging from the People, Personal Data and the Built
Environment workshop at DIS18 conference (http://dis2017peopledataandbuildings.blogspot.co.uk/),
this book in the Springer Series of Adaptive Environments will bring together a
community of researchers and practitioners interested in personal informatics
and the design of interactive buildings and spaces, with the aim to foster
critical discussion on the future role of personal data in interactions with
the built environment. Accepted
workshop papers have been invited to submit their work as full book chapters.
We call for additional chapter
submissions from the wider research & practice community.
Your book chapter might reflect upon the following
(non-exclusive) list topics:
· Internet
of Things
· Quantified
self
· Adaptive
Environments
· Technological
retrofitting existing buildings
· Social
Computing in the community
· Autonomous
vehicles
· Smart
services in the built environment
· Shared
digital and physical resources
· Living
and working in the digital age
· Legible
and accessible uses of personal data
· Privacy
in a shared spatial context
· Design
processes and BIM
· Open
Data Access
· Community
live and digital technology
We are looking for chapters of between 7000-9000 words. Chapter guidelines can be found here. With your submission you agree to review two of the chapters submitted by other chapter authors.
The deadline
for submission of your chapter is 18th
of December 2017 14 January 2018
Reviews will
be due mid-February and a decision/feedback returned to authors mid-March. We
might draw on external reviewers, where necessary. Final revisions to papers
will then be due end of April. Exact dates are still to be confirmed.
We are aiming
for approximately 12 chapters and for publication in the second half of 2018.
