    Acceptance of Autonomy and Cloud in the Smart Home and Concerns
    (Mensch und Computer 2018 - Tagungsband, 2018) Dang, Chi Tai; André, Elisabeth
    This paper presents the results of an initial survey that examines the acceptance of autonomous behavior and cloud dependency in smarthomes. In addition, this paper presents concerns on both topics. Depending on whether someone already lives in a smarthome or not, the acceptance changes.

    Automation and its Effects on Mental Workload in Industrial Sectors
    (Mensch und Computer 2024 - Workshopband, 2024) Staab, Verena
    Automation technology has profoundly transformed modern life, promising further evolution in safety and efficiency. However, it also fundamentally alters work dynamics, notably in the maritime sector where automation is increasingly prevalent. This dissertation investigates how automated systems impact mental workload and human-technology interactions in maritime contexts. By adapting a framework based on cognitive load theory, it analyzes predictors (e.g., automation, system design, level of autonomy, individual differences) of mental workload through systematic reviews and experimental studies. Key challenges include recruiting specialized maritime participants and deploying equipment in operational settings. By addressing these challenges, the dissertation aims to enhance understanding and implementation of automation, offering practical insights for optimizing human-technology interfaces in maritime automation.

    Die Digitalisierung der Wissensarbeit – Handlungsempfehlungen aus der Wirtschaftsinformatik-Forschung
    (HMD Praxis der Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 53, No. 1, 2016) Köffer, Sebastian; Urbach, Nils
    Die Digitalisierung aller Lebensbereiche hat zu steigenden Bedürfnissen und Anforderungen an die technologische Unterstützung am Arbeitsplatz geführt. Die Unternehmen finden sich durch diese Entwicklung in einem Zwiespalt wieder. Einerseits möchten Sie Ihren Beschäftigten vor dem Hintergrund möglicher Effizienzgewinne und Innovationspotenzialen mehr Freiheiten und Autonomie in Bezug auf Auswahl und Einsatz von IT einräumen. Andererseits ist ein Mindestmaß an Kontrolle vor allem aufgrund von Compliance und Steuerbarkeit unerlässlich. Der Beitrag nennt konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen für die Gestaltung des digitalen Arbeitsplatzes, die in der Wirtschaftsinformatik-Forschung abgegeben werden.AbstractThe digitalization of all areas of life has also increased the demand to support digital knowledge work with adequate tools and software. As a result, organizations are caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, they may grant their employees more freedom and autonomy in terms of IT selection to realize innovations and productivity gains. On the other hand, they must monitor their work processes to ensure control and compliance. The article summarizes managerial implications from information systems research about the design of digital knowledge work.

    Knowledge-Based Instrumentation and Control for Competitive Industry-Inspired Robotic Domains
    (KI - Künstliche Intelligenz: Vol. 30, No. 0, 2016) Niemueller, Tim; Zug, Sebastian; Schneider, Sven; Karras, Ulrich
    Autonomy is an increasing trend in manufacturing industries. Several industry-inspired robotic competitions have been established in recent years to provide testbeds of comprehensible size. In this paper, we describe a knowledge-based instrumentation and control framework used in several of these competitions. It is implemented using a rule-based production system and creates the task goals for autonomous mobile robots. It controls the environment’s agency using sensor data from processing stations and instructs proper reactions. The monitoring and collection of various data allows for an effective instrumentation of the competitions for evaluation purposes. The goal is to achieve automated runs with no or as little human intervention as possible which would allow for more and longer lasting runs. It provides a general framework adaptable to suit many scenarios and is an interesting test case for knowledge-based systems in an industry-inspired setting.

    When Self-Humanization Leads to Algorithm Aversion
    (Business & Information Systems Engineering: Vol. 64, No. 3, 2022) Heßler, Pascal Oliver; Pfeiffer, Jella; Hafenbrädl, Sebastian
    Decision support systems are increasingly being adopted by various digital platforms. However, prior research has shown that certain contexts can induce algorithm aversion, leading people to reject their decision support. This paper investigates how and why the context in which users are making decisions (for-profit versus prosocial microlending decisions) affects their degree of algorithm aversion and ultimately their preference for more human-like (versus computer-like) decision support systems. The study proposes that contexts vary in their affordances for self-humanization. Specifically, people perceive prosocial decisions as more relevant to self-humanization than for-profit contexts, and, in consequence, they ascribe more importance to empathy and autonomy while making decisions in prosocial contexts. This increased importance of empathy and autonomy leads to a higher degree of algorithm aversion. At the same time, it also leads to a stronger preference for human-like decision support, which could therefore serve as a remedy for an algorithm aversion induced by the need for self-humanization. The results from an online experiment support the theorizing. The paper discusses both theoretical and design implications, especially for the potential of anthropomorphized conversational agents on platforms for prosocial decision-making.
