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.

本研究的目标是推进对物联网（IoT）技术的设计和使用的经验和系统性理解，以实现，组织和监控集体社会活动。 物联网是无处不在的对象系统，具有计算能力，相互连接和通信。 这项工作的一个关键成果将是一套全面的设计指南，用于创建任何人都可以使用的物联网技术，并将通过一系列针对社区利益相关者和媒体场所更广泛受众的产品和公众参与策略进行传播。这样的指导方针通常被理解为人们可以采用并应用于他们的工作以生成有效设计的高级设计学。通过将这些准则体现在使公共生活成为可能的新颖原型的设计中，该项目将帮助人们更容易地以不同的规模参与公共生活。最后，通过在集体设计审查中评估这些原型的优势和局限性，它将产生方法论见解，可能被以人为本的计算，科学和技术研究以及设计领域的其他研究人员采用和扩展。这种经验性设计研究将提供深入了解物联网产品和服务的社会技术配置如何有助于更多地理解，和参与，构成我们公共生活的互动网络。特别是，利用“跟踪”作为物联网的设计策略和新能力，研究将展示和解释物联网的技术连通性如何以促进更大的社会连通性的方式进行沟通。痕迹是指示某些其他现象经过的标记，例如作为人们在线活动的副产品生成的数据。在信息技术的工程和使用中绘制痕迹可能会产生对我们公共生活中的行为者，结构和过程的复杂网络的理解，从而导致行动，洞察力和参与的新可能性。 作为一种设计策略，痕迹可以促进社会技术系统之间的联系。 因此，这项研究将发现和编纂新的设计准则，为公共生活的成功物联网设计。此外，它还将开发一种创新的研究方法，将物联网技术的原型与设计专家和社区成员的外部设计审查相结合，以验证这些原型。
