Recommender systems often rely on models which are trained to maximize accuracy in predicting user preferences. When the systems are deployed, these models determine the availability of content and information to different users. The gap…

During an epidemic, the information available to individuals in the society deeply influences their belief of the epidemic spread, and consequently the preventive measures they take to stay safe from the infection. In this paper, we develop…

The fragmented nature and asymmetry of local and remote file access and network access, combined with the current lack of robust authenticity and privacy, hamstrings the current internet. The collection of disjoint and often ad-hoc…

We tackle the challenge brought to urban library systems by the {holds system} -- which allows users to request books available at other branches to be transferred for local pickup. The holds system increases usage of the entire collection,…

Data is the most powerful decision-making tool at our disposal. However, despite the exponentially growing volumes of data generated in the world, putting it to effective use still presents many challenges. Relevant data seems to be never…

In the face of rapidly advancing technologies, evidence of harms they can exacerbate, and insufficient policy to ensure accountability from tech companies, what are HCI opportunities for advancing policymaking of technology? In this paper,…

Successful achievement of public policies requires satisfaction of conditions affecting political feasibility for policy adoption and maintenance as well as economic viability of the desired activity or enterprise. This paper discusses the…

The radio spectrum suitable for commercial wireless services is limited. A portion of the radio spectrum has been reserved for institutions using it for non-commercial purposes such as federal agencies, defense, public safety bodies and…

The debate on data access and privacy is an ongoing one. It is kept alive by the never-ending changes/upgrades in (i) the shape of the data collected (in terms of size, diversity, sensitivity and quality), (ii) the laws governing data…

In this paper, we develop a user-centric privacy framework for quantitatively assessing the exposure of personal information in open settings. Our formalization addresses key-challenges posed by such open settings, such as the unstructured…

The allocation of resources among multiple agents is a fundamental problem in both economics and computer science. In these settings, fairness plays a crucial role in ensuring social acceptability and practical implementation of resource…

The vast majority of US public school districts use school attendance boundaries to determine which student addresses are assigned to which schools. Existing work shows how redrawing boundaries can be a powerful policy lever for increasing…

Cross-border access to a variety of data such as market information, strategic information, or customer-related information defines the daily business of many global companies, including financial institutions. These companies are obliged…

Allocation of spectrum is an important policy issue and decisions taken have ramifications for future growth of wireless communications and achieving universal connectivity. In this paper, on a common footing we compare the social welfare…

The increasing number of wireless devices operating in unlicensed spectrum motivates the development of intelligent adaptive approaches to spectrum access. We consider decentralized contention-based medium access for base stations (BSs)…

To design a discretionary access control policy, a technique is proposed that uses the principle of analogies and is based on both the properties of objects and the properties of subjects. As attributes characterizing these properties, the…

It is a crucial mechanism of access control to determine that data can only be accessed for allowed purposes. To achieve this mechanism, we propose purpose-based access policies in this paper. Different from provenance-based policies that…

Drawing on an ongoing longitudinal research study, we discuss problems in the development of five next generation community networking projects in central New York. The projects were funded under a state program to diffuse broadband…

Open data are characterized by a number of economic, technological, innovative and social benefits. They are seen as a significant contributor to the city's transformation into Smart City. This is all the more so when the society is on the…

As privacy issues have gained social salience, entrepreneurs have begun to offer privacy enhancing technologies (PETs) and the U.S. has begun to enact privacy legislation. But "privacy" is an ambiguous notion. In the liberal tradition, it…
