Contextual-Analysis for Infrastructure Awareness Systems
In Proccedings of the CHI Workshop ``Bridging the Gap: Moving from Contextual Analysis to Design''. Atlanta, Georgia, USA, April 10 - 15, 2010. (bib)

Infrastructures are persistent socio-technical systems used to deliver different kinds of services. Researchers have looked into how awareness of infrastructures in the areas of sustainability [6, 10] and software appropriation [11] can be provided. However, designing infrastructure-aware systems has specific requirements, which are often ignored. In this paper we explore the challenges when developing infrastructure awareness systems based on contextual analysis, and propose guidelines for enhancing the design process.
