Research Questions

Focusing on the themes above with the competencies of the Val IT research group gives a number of interesting research questions addressing value creation with the help of IT. Examples of such are;

How do we assess the quality of a set of systems requirements?
How do we compare/measure faculty research output across disciplinary traditions and boundaries?
How user pattern recognition (emergence behavior) help in defining problem definition?
How user configuration helps to create a value for new innovation?
How do we manage emergent systems requirements?
How do dominant stories (e.g. techno-economic paradigms) co-construct with design of digital technologies?
How inequalities (power relations, stratifications, tensions) interact with sustainable development?
How different actors interconnect different values with digital technology?
Why a user (only alternative, additional experienced value)?
Usability versus useworthiness related to values?
How do practices of IT use, design and production contribute to sustainable lives and societies?
How scales can be used in creating perceptions of measurements?
How can values be conceptualized as something enacted in practices in various contexts?
What are the power issues in those enactments?
How to support decision modeling for sustainability in for example the transport sector?
How do desires and intentions turn into measurable entities in e.g. policy making and systems design?
Who are the hidden actors in the longer networks of information technologies?
