While it is clear that these tools can serve as a valuable way for internal administration processes, at the same time it is critical that data is not only openly available following standard formats limited to computer-readability but above all also largely understandable for average citizens. For this reason, it is researched how open data can not only be made available but also visualized in an accessible way to all citizens. Moreover, the aim is to simultaneously boost private behavior changes which are inevitable to achieve locally-set goals in sustainability (Barr et al. 2011, TWI 2050 2018). To do so, we draw on the principle of nudging. Following the tradition of behavioral economics, nudging is defined as a positive intervention that induces a voluntary change in behavior without resulting in external (negative) consequences (Thaler & Sunstein 2008) and thus contrasting interventions like commands or bans because freedom of choice is maintained (Mongin & Cozic 2020, Ranchordás 2020). This paper discusses an installation that explored the potential of combining nudging and situated visualization to improve data transparency and support individual decision-making in urban public spaces. During the Detmold Design Week 2023, an event showcasing creative works in various locations, the visitor numbers at nine locations were captured using computer vision. Visitors then received on-site suggestions in real-time for the next place to visit based on the occupancy. A survey was conducted to evaluate visitors’ willingness to follow these data-informed suggestions. Findings highlight the importance of balancing between simplicity, relevance and privacy in data visualization.

The objective is to shorten the time between quoting for individually designed products and their production and delivery. Therefore, reliable automated and fast evaluation procedures are needed to ensure the quality of the individually designed products in terms of product safety and reliability. This paper aims to demonstrate how a metamodel, generated on simulated data, adapts to the type of product and delivers the required quality and evaluation procedure. The metamodel guarantees the requested characteristics of the final product without the consultation of human expert knowledge. As proof of concept, a simple, well-documented task from the field of construction has been chosen. The estimation from of the metamodel will meet all safety requirements, is based on the individual input variables and is confirmed without expert interaction. Fast, reliable prediction models deriving from complex simulation models are indispensable conditions for direct digital manufacturing. Using metamodels in automation contexts will be a foundation of manufacturing in future.}}, author = {{Scheideler, Eva and Ahlemeyer-Stubbe, Andrea}}, booktitle = {{Production engineering and management : proceedings 6th international conference, September 29 and 30, 2016 Lemgo, Germany }}, editor = {{Villmer, Franz-Josef and Padoano, Elio}}, keywords = {{Simulation, Metamodel, Computer experiment, Design of experiments}}, location = {{Lemgo}}, number = {{1}}, pages = {{269--280}}, publisher = {{Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe}}, title = {{{Expert Knowledge Systems to Ensure Quality and Reliability in Direct Digital Manufacturing Enviroments}}}, volume = {{2016}}, year = {{2016}}, } @inproceedings{4395, abstract = {{This paper presents the evaluation of a mixed reality communication system for the home domain, called roomXT.
