Cited in Article about Innovative Approach to Cybersecurity Education

Dr. Caine was cited in an article on the shortage of cybersecurity workers in the US published in The Chronicle of Higher Education.

“Among the institutions that are shifting to a more comprehensive notion of cybersecurity is Clemson University. Its Humans and Technology Lab conducts research aimed at making automated systems better reflect the ways people actually behave, with protections designed accordingly. Recent projects include studying how patients use electronic health records and exploring the risks to privacy posed by wearable devices.

Nationwide, colleges have a long way to go to incorporate that kind of broad approach into their educational and research agendas, says Kelly Caine, an associate professor of human-centered computing at Clemson, who heads the lab.”

Awarded NSF grant to develop technologies to help underserved older adults age in place

Dr. Kelly Caine and Dr. Kay Connelly have  been awarded $500,000 by the National Science Foundation to better understand how technologies can assist underserved older adults as they age in place.

Paper demonstrating importance of visualization on disclosure decisions presented at CHI2011

Today Dr. Caine presented work demonstrating the importance of visualization on disclosure decisions at the 2011 ACM Conference on Computer-Human Interaction (CHI) in Vancouver.

Along with her co-authors, Dr. Lorraine Kisselburgh and Ms. Louise Laureau, Dr. Caine studied the effects of providing users, and potential users, of Online Social Networks (e.g., facebook) with visual and numeric feedback about the audience to whom they are disclosing. They found that augmenting an interface with a visualization or numeric display of the audience helps people disclose in a way that is more in line with their own preferences. In addition, Drs. Caine and Kisselburgh and Ms. Lareau suggested alternative designs that could make use of this new information to help social network users manage their privacy.

The full paper, Audience Visualization Influences Disclosures in Online Social Networks, is available here as a PDF and online in the ACM Digital Library.
