For workers, the exposure to on-site hazards can result in fatalities and serious injuries. To improve safety outcomes, different approaches have been implemented for health and safety training in the construction sector, such as…
It is becoming increasingly important that physics educators equip their students with the skills to work with data effectively. However, many educators may lack the necessary training and expertise in data science to teach these skills. To…
This position paper examines the substantial divide between academia and industry within quantum software engineering. For example, while academic research related to debugging and testing predominantly focuses on a limited subset of…
Software engineering conferences bring together thousands of academicians and software practitioners so that academic research and professional practices can influence each other. In essence, a symbiotic relationship exists between the…
Programming is a crucial skill in today's world and being taught worldwide at different levels. However, in the literature there is little research investigating a formal approach to embedding public engagement into programming module…
We argue that there is a need for Accessibility to be represented in several important domains: - Capitalize on the new capabilities AI provides - Support for open source development of AI, which can allow disabled and disability focused…
Digital twin (DT) technology holds immense potential for transforming healthcare systems through real-time monitoring, predictive analysis, and agile interventions to support various decision-making needs. However, its successful…
Blind and low-vision (BLV) employees in mixed-visual ability teams often encounter information (e.g., PDFs, diagrams) in inaccessible formats. To enable teamwork, teams must transform these representations by modifying or re-creating them…
It is critically important to make computing courses accessible for disabled students. This is particularly challenging in large computing courses, which face unique challenges due to the sheer scale of course content and staff. In this…
Software plays a central role in modern societies, with its high economic value and potential for advancing societal change. In this paper, we characterise challenges and opportunities for a country progressing towards entering the global…
As large language models (LLMs) demonstrate increasing competence in synthesizing functional user interfaces, a fundamental question emerges in accessibility computing: \textit{how far can AI-driven accessibility systems go?} This paper…
Participatory design in digital civics aims to foster mutual learning and co-creation between public services and citizens. However, rarely do we collectively explore the challenges and failures we experience within PD and digital civics,…
Co-design is an effective method for designing software, but implementing it within the clinical setting comes with a set of unique challenges. This makes recruitment and engagement of participants difficult, which has been demonstrated in…
Context: Pair programming (PP) is more relevant than ever. As modern systems grow in complexity, knowledge sharing and collaboration across teams have become essential. However, despite well-documented benefits of PP, its adoption remains…
Software applications continue to challenge user privacy when users interact with them. Privacy practices (e.g. Data Minimisation (DM), Privacy by Design (PbD) or General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)) and related "privacy engineering"…
As virtual reality (VR) technology becomes more pervasive, it continues to find multiple new uses beyond research laboratories. One of them is distance adult education -- the potential of VR to provide valuable education experiences is…
Efficient workforce training is needed in today's world in which technology is continually changing the nature of work. Students need to be prepared to enter the workforce. Employees need to become lifelong learners to stay up-to-date in…
AI code generation tools have expanded software creation beyond professional developers, giving rise to vibe coding, a practice in which users generate software via natural-language prompts, evaluate outputs primarily by execution. Prior…
A majority of the work on digital privacy and security has focused on users from developed countries who account for only around 20\% of the global population. Moreover, the privacy needs for population that is already marginalized and…
Digital health has strong potential for promoting physical activity (PA), yet interventions often fail to sustain engagement among culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) women. Prior reviews focus on short-term efficacy or…
