Design Thinking (DT) is a promising methodology for overcoming these barriers because it offers a structured approach for assessing users’ needs and developing new ideas. However, DT needs to be adapted to the specifics of older participants to fully grasp these users’ insights. For instance, the endurance of older participants is limited, and collaboration with other stakeholders is hampered due to decreasing physical, cognitive, and psychological capacity. This research utilizes a design science approach for developing the SeniorDT methodology. The core objectives of the SeniorDT method are the support of the older participants’ engagement, the gathering of deep user insights, and the facilitation of the elderlies’ collaboration with other workshop participants. The method is tested in a real-life workshop setting and evaluated by observation, group discussions and interviews.","PeriodicalId":393646,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 29th International Requirements Engineering Conference Workshops (REW)","volume":"237 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114266908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model has been applied in the healthcare domain using the NHS COVID-19 Test and Trace app (COVID-19 app). We found that soft factors such as Fear of infection and Altruism were important for the COVID-19 app acceptance.

Consequently, these users are increasingly tasked with understanding the implications of their consenting to the privacy practices of OSNs via privacy policies. However, privacy policies are often vague and confusing to users, leading to misconceptions and gaps in users’ understanding of privacy practices. In this paper, we propose the Lattice-Based Contextual Integrity Analysis (LCIA) framework to help make quantitative determinations about how likely an OSN’s privacy policy is to mislead users with regard to its information flow practices, relative to other OSNs. We evaluated LCIA with 13 OSNs’ privacy policies and identified that OSNs with more privacy-violating information flow practices are more likely to mislead users through ambiguous statements, thereby exposing them to greater privacy risk.","PeriodicalId":393646,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 29th International Requirements Engineering Conference Workshops (REW)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131929710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Especially, APT attacks have specific targets with obvious goals and use complex strategies from multiple perspectives. To proactively defend against these potential attacks, it is important to assess security risks based on a comprehensive and systematic understanding of APT attacks. In this paper, we propose the APT Attack Risk Assessment Framework to evaluate the security risks for specific APT attacks, using Risk-Aware Problem Domain Ontology. The proposed framework can assess the risks in which a specific APT attack affects an organization within a domain.","PeriodicalId":393646,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 29th International Requirements Engineering Conference Workshops (REW)","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131842786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We build causal diagrams by connecting actions of a crossing protocol with their reasons and derive explanation paths from these diagrams. We strive to bring our formal methods approach together with requirements engineering approaches, by suggesting to use run-time requirements engineering to update our causal diagrams at run-time.","PeriodicalId":393646,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 29th International Requirements Engineering Conference Workshops (REW)","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133751524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through their feedback users can share ways they want software to improve, get help and recommend their favourite applications. These online channels are popular around the world, yet, there has been limited research into how their use is impacted by cultural differences between software users from different countries. In this study, we investigate the differences in feedback behaviour and attitudes between software users in Germany and China. Through 1,376 user surveys, we show statistically significant differences in the feedback channels each country use, what motivates their feedback, the reasons they don’t give feedback and potential new methods to encourage feedback. These differences are analysed through the lens of the Hofstede cultural model, looking in particular at the dimensions of individualism and power distance where Germany and China differ significantly. The findings in this paper give valuable insights on how each country uses online feedback channels and potential ways the channels can be adapted to better suit their distinct cultures.","PeriodicalId":393646,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 29th International Requirements Engineering Conference Workshops (REW)","volume":"235 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131992658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
