EAGER: Values in Design in the Future Internet Architecture

这一迫切需要的项目有助于实现将社会价值观纳入信息技术设计和创造的长期目标。它为促进社会分析以及科学和工程领域的专家之间的合作提供了一种新的模式。该模型正在大型未来互联网架构(FIA)项目的背景下进行磨练和测试。这些项目是理想的试验台，因为与现有的互联网一样，它们不仅必须满足技术卓越的标准，而且必须满足社会对未来的期望，以促进和体现创新、生产力、安全、人类发展、开放、广泛和平等的接入、问责、隐私等价值观。这种急切的模式并不是为了取代现有的跨学科协作模式，而是对它们进行补充。智力优势：从一个由10-15名IT和数字媒体社会分析专家组成的多学科团队中，大约3-4个小组将参加FIA-PI会议。在这些会议上，团队成员担任分析师和顾问。它们将有助于确定价值观的结合点--关键的技术决策；确定以不同方式发挥价值观作用的设计特点；阐明对相关价值观的丰富概念理解；将价值观付诸实施；审议对法律和政策的影响；以及在可能的情况下，设计核查战略。以上所有内容构成了被称为设计价值(VID)的一般方法家族的组成部分。更广泛的影响：该模型具有独特的前景，因为它促进了对正在开发的复杂技术系统的反复接触，以及社会分析中轮流的专家横截面。这些活动构成了以纪律为导向的机构很少(如果有的话)提供的机会。因此，它有助于在设计的特定阶段将专业知识和兴趣与特定问题更有效地匹配。从长远来看，我们的目标是建立持续的合作，并最终建立反映和深刻响应社会价值观的制度和机制。

This EAGER project contributes to a longstanding goal of factoring societal values into the design and creation of information technologies. It offers a novel model for fostering collaboration between experts in social analysis and in science and engineering. The model is being honed and tested in the context of large Future Internet Architecture (FIA) projects. These projects are ideal test beds because, like the existing Internet, they must aspire not only to meet criteria of technical excellence but to meet societal expectations for the future to promote and embody values such as innovation, productivity, security, human development, openness, broad and equitable access, accountability, privacy, and more. This EAGER model is intended not to replace existing cross-disciplinary collaborative models but to supplement them. Intellectual Merit: From an assembled multi-disciplinary team of 10-15 experts in social analysis of IT and digital media, sub-groups of approximately 3-4 will participate in FIA-PI meetings. At these meetings, team members serve as analysts and consultants. They will help to identify junctures of values-critical technical decision-making, locate design features that differentially call values into play, articulate rich conceptual understandings of relevant values, operationalize values for implementation, consider implications for law and policy, and where possible, to design verification strategies. All of the above, constitute components of a general family of approaches known as Values-in-Design (VID). Broader Impacts: The model holds distinctive promise because it facilitates repeated exposure to complex technical systems-under-development to a rotating cross-section of experts in social analysis. These activities constitute an opportunity rarely, if ever, provided in discipline-oriented institutions. As such, it facilitates more effective matching of expertise and interest with particular problems, at particular phases of design. In the longer term, the goal is to engender ongoing collaborations and, ultimately, systems and mechanisms that reflect and are deeply responsive to societal values.
