基于位置的普适计算系统正在进入主流社会并成为日常生活的熟悉部分。然而，他们部署的环境已经充满了复杂的社会动态。我们报告了一项针对假释官员和假释犯的研究，基于位置的技术正在改变他们的关系。虽然假释犯显然是国家纪律的对象，但假释官也发现自己要承担新的责任。这项研究强调了社会技术系统中权力的复杂性，以及当位置成为可交易的技术对象时会发生什么。
Location-based ubiquitous computing systems are entering mainstream society and becoming familiar parts of everyday life. However, the settings in which they are deployed are already suffused with complex social dynamics. We report on a study of parole officers and parolees whose relationships are being transformed by location-based technologies. While parolees are clearly subjects of state discipline, the parole officers also find themselves subject to new responsibilities. This study highlights the complexities of power in sociotechnical systems and what happens when location becomes a tradable, technological object.
