The goal of this research is to advance an empirical and systematic understanding of the design and use of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies for enabling, organizing, and monitoring collective social activities. The IoT is the ubiquitous system of objects imbued with computational capacity, connected to and communicating with one another. A key result of this work will be a comprehensive set of design guidelines for creating IoT technologies that can be used by anyone, that will be disseminated through a series of products and public engagement strategies targeting community stakeholders and more general audiences in media venues. Such guidelines are commonly understood as high-level heuristics that people can take up and apply to their work to generate effective designs. By embodying the guidelines in the design of novel prototypes that enable public life, this project will help people more easily participate in public life at varying scales. Lastly, by evaluating the strengths and limitations of these prototypes in collective design reviews, it will generate methodological insights that may be adopted and extended by other researchers in the fields of human-centered computing, science and technology studies, and design.This empirical design research will provide insight into how the social-technical configurations of IoT products and services might contribute to more understanding of, and participation in, the networks of interaction that comprise our public lives. In particular, leveraging "tracing" as both a design tactic and a novel capacity of IoT, the research will demonstrate and explain how the technical connectedness that characterizes IoT might be communicated in ways that foster a greater sense of social connectedness. Traces are marks that indicate the passing of some other phenomenon, for example data generated as a by-product of people's online activity. Charting traces in the engineering and use of information technology may produce an understanding of the complex networks of actors, structures, and processes within our public life that leads to new possibilities for action, insight and engagement. As a design tactic, traces can serve to foster a greater sense of the connectedness of socio-technical systems. Thus, this research will discover and codify new design guidelines for successful IoT design for public life. Additionally, it will develop an innovative fusion of research methods, combining the prototyping of IoT technologies with external design reviews from both design experts and community members to validate those prototypes.

这项研究的目的是提高对物联网（IoT）技术的设计和使用的经验和系统的了解，以实现，组织和监视集体社交活动。 物联网是充满计算能力的对象的无处不在系统，相互连接并相互通信。 这项工作的关键结果将是一套全面的设计指南，用于创建任何人可以使用的物联网技术，这些技术将通过针对社区利益相关者和媒体场所更普遍的受众群体的一系列产品和公共参与策略进行传播。这些准则通常被理解为高级启发式方法，人们可以雇用并申请其工作以产生有效的设计。通过体现促进公共生活的新型原型设计中的准则，该项目将帮助人们更容易地以不同的规模参与公共生活。 Lastly, by evaluating the strengths and limitations of these prototypes in collective design reviews, it will generate methodological insights that may be adopted and extended by other researchers in the fields of human-centered computing, science and technology studies, and design.This empirical design research will provide insight into how the social-technical configurations of IoT products and services might contribute to more understanding of, and participation in, the networks of interaction that comprise我们的公众生活。特别是，将“追踪”既是一种设计策略又是物联网的新颖能力，这项研究将证明并解释如何以更大的社会联系感来传达特征物联网的技术联系。痕迹是指示其他现象的传递的标记，例如作为人们在线活动的副产品生成的数据。在我们的公共生活中，工程和使用中的绘制迹线可能会使参与者，结构和过程的复杂网络有所了解，从而导致新的行动，洞察力和参与度。 作为一种设计策略，痕迹可以促进对社会技术系统的连接性的更大感。 因此，这项研究将发现并为成功的物联网设计设计新设计指南，以实现公共生活。此外，它将开发研究方法的创新融合，将物联网技术的原型制作与设计专家和社区成员的外部设计评论相结合，以验证这些原型。
