NEEDLE IN THE HAYSTACK
SESSION CHAIR: Mark Dunlop, University of Strathclyde, UK
PAPER | Representing “too small to see” as “too small
to see” with Temporal Representation
Minyoung Song, Chris Quintana, University of Michigan, USA
This study assessed how the interactions with a temporal
representation with different supporting modalities can alter the
way learners think about the sizes that are too small to see.
PAPER | The Case of the Missed Icon: Change Blindness
on Mobile Devices
Thomas Davies, Ashweeni Beeharee, University College London, UK
Presents evidence that change blindness occurs on small displays
and is affected by interface designs. Can assist mobile application
developers in improving the delivery of information through visual
changes.
PAPER | The Bohemian Bookshelf: Supporting
Serendipitous Book Discoveries through Information
Visualization
Alice Thudt, University of Munich, Germany
Uta Hinrichs, Sheelagh Carpendale, University of Calgary, Canada
This paper explores information visualizations as a means to
support serendipity based on the case study of the Bohemian
Bookshelf, a visualization that was designed to support
serendipitous book discoveries.
PAPER | Reactive Information Foraging: An Empirical
Investigation of Theory-Based Recommender Systems
for Programmers
David Piorkowski, Oregon State University, USA
Scott Fleming, University of Memphis, USA
Christopher Scaffidi, Christopher Bogart, Margaret Burnett,
Oregon State University, USA
Bonnie John, Rachel Bellamy, Calvin Swart, IBM Research, USA
Empirically investigates how programmers behave with different
recommender systems based on Reactive Information Foraging
Theory. Can assist tool builders in how to design recommender
systems for programmers.

PAPER | Participation and Publics: Supporting
Community Engagement &
Christopher Le Dantec, Georgia Tech, USA
In the findings reported here, I continue to develop the framing of
Deweyan publics as a way to scaffold an environmental approach
to technology design in contexts with diverse stakeholders.
ToCHI | Towards a Framework of Publics:
Re-encountering Media Sharing and its User
Silvia Lindtner, Judy Chen, Gillian Hayes, Paul Dourish, University
of California, Irvine, USA
This paper proposes “publics” from media theory to stimulate
reflection on prevailing interpretations of participation.
Implications concern the role of digital media for collective
practice and expression of values.
PAPER | Viewpoint: Empowering Communities with
Situated Voting Devices
Nick Taylor, Newcastle University, UK
Justin Marshall, University College Falmouth, UK
Alicia Blum-Ross, University of Surrey, UK
John Mills, University of Central Lancashire, UK
Jon Rogers, University of Dundee, UK
Paul Egglestone, University of Central Lancashire, UK
David Frohlich, University of Surrey, UK
Peter Wright, Patrick Olivier, Newcastle University, UK
Describes a public voting device designed to help empower
communities and inform decision making. Experiences from
deploying this device are presented as guidelines for community
voting technologies.
PAPER | Examining Technology that Supports
Community Policing
Sheena Lewis, Dan A. Lewis, Northwestern University, USA
This paper investigates how citizens use technology to support
community policing efforts. Our results suggest that technologies
intended for crime prevention should be designed to support
communication amongst citizens.
