Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) offers much promise for improving healthcare. However, it runs the looming risk of causing individual and societal harms; instance, exacerbating inequalities amongst minority groups, or enabling compromises in confidentiality patients’ sensitive data. As such, there is an expanding, unmet need ensuring AI healthcare developed concordance with human values ethics. Augmenting “principle-based” guidance that highlight adherence to ethical ideals (without...
Software influences several aspects of people's lives and therefore needs to reflect their values. However, existing software engineering methods fail account for human values, which may result in breaching those values and, therefore, dissatisfaction users loss profit reputation. To avoid such negative consequences, need be integrated -- a verifiable way into software. We refer this as Operationalizing Human Values Software. But is not easy achieve due three main obstacles: first, are hard...
This article argues that human values-such as responsibility, transparency, creativity, and equality-are heavily underrepresented in software engineering methods. Using experience with projects involving notfor-protorganizations, we explored how values can be integrated into existing participatory agile practices.
Failure to account for human values in software (e.g., equality and fairness) can result user dissatisfaction negative socio-economic impact. Engineering these software, however, requires technical methodological support throughout the development life cycle. This paper investigates what extent top Software (SE) conferences journals have included research on SE. We investigate prevalence of recent (2015 -- 2018) publications venues. classify publications, based their relevance different...
The growing diffusion of software in society and its influence on people demands from creators that their work carefully considers human values such as transparency, social responsibility, equality. But how do practitioners address engineering practice? We interviewed 31 two organizations, each having a strong framework, with the aim to understand: (a) practitioners' perceptions role engineering; (b) practices use software; (c) challenges they face during this process. report our findings...
Software has become an integral part of human life. This gives rise to the need developing software that respects values such as transparency, fairness and privacy. compromises on (e.g. privacy) can affect people's reputation impinges their ability function in society with usual freedom autonomy. Integrating into is, however, a challenging task due its imprecise subjective nature. Enforcing regulations is one way make development considerate desired standards values. The European Union's...
Ubiquitous technologies such as mobile software applications (mobile apps) have a tremendous influence on the evolution of social, cultural, economic, and political facets life in society. Mobile apps fulfil many practical purposes for users including entertainment, transportation, financial management, etc. Given ubiquity lives individuals consequent effect these society, it is essential to consider relationship between human values development deployment apps. The negative consequences...
Agile methods are predominantly focused on delivering business values. But can be adapted to effectively address and deliver human values such as social justice, privacy, sustainability in the software they produce Human what an individual or a society considers important life. Ignoring these pose difficulties risks for all stakeholders (e.g., user dissatisfaction, reputation damage, financial loss). To answer this question, we selected Scaled AgileFramework (SAFe), one of most commonly used...
Human values (e.g., pleasure, privacy, and social justice) are what a person or society considers important. Inability to address them in software-intensive systems can result numerous undesired consequences financial losses) for individuals communities. Various solutions methodologies, techniques) developed help “operationalize software”. The ultimate goal is ensure building software (better) reflects respects human values. In this survey, “operationalizing...
To successfully satisfy user needs, software developers need to suitably capture and implement requirements. A critical often overlooked characteristic of requirements are "human aspects", which personal circumstances affecting the use (e.g., age, gender, language, etc.). better understand how human aspects can impact software, this work presents an empirical study focusing on app reviews COVID-19 contact tracing apps. We manually analyzed a dataset 2,611 sampled from associated with 57...
Groundwater is one of the major sources water consumption in developing countries. The aim study was to investigate variations physicochemical characteristics and metal content calculate Water Quality Index (WQI) assess groundwater quality seven districts (Central, East, West, South, Malir, Korangi, Kemari) Karachi City, Pakistan. A stratified sampling approach used collect samples turbidity, pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Suspended (TSS), Nitrate-N, arsenic...
Given their ability for advanced reasoning, extensive contextual understanding, and robust question-answering abilities, large language models have become prominent in healthcare management research. Despite adeptly handling a broad spectrum of inquiries, these face significant challenges delivering accurate practical advice chronic conditions such as diabetes. We evaluate the responses ChatGPT versions 3.5 4 to diabetes patient queries, assessing depth medical knowledge capacity deliver...
Software Design Patterns (SDPs) are core solutions to the recurring problems in software. However, adopting SDPs without taking into account their value implications may result breach of social values and ultimately lead user dissatisfaction, lack adoption, financial loss. An example is airline system that overcharged people who were trying escape from Hurricane Irma. Although not intentional, overlsight design resulted significant customer dissatisfaction loss trust. To mitigate such...
Software failures that demonstrate violations of human values can result in financial losses, reputation damages and social implications. Therefore, integrating into software is vital to satisfy stakeholder needs. However, developing methodological approaches allow systematic integration throughout the development life cycle an open challenge. This paper proposes Continual Value(s) Assessment (CVA) framework uses extended goal feature modeling techniques support integration, tracing...

With a goal of preparing software engineering students for practice in today's global settings, Uppsala University has some years run courses involving collaboration. The "IT Society" course is one such which applies an 'Open Ended Group Project' model, partnership with local health sector client and educational partners. Within each iteration the course, across partnering institutions are given brief around open-ended problem. They work collaboration their stakeholders to investigate...
Limited consideration of users' values in mobile applications (apps) can lead to user disappointments and negative socio-economic consequences. Therefore, it is important consider app development avoid such adverse effects secure the optimum use apps. With this aim, we conducted a case study identify desired that are either reflected or missing existing Bangladeshi agriculture We manually analyzed 1522 reviews from 29 apps Google Play by following widely used human theory, Schwartz's theory...
Globally distributed stakeholders employ various collaborative technologies to manage requirements. While these facilitate requirements collaboration, their perceived purpose, use and structure co-evolve over time. In this paper we report the results of a study in two global software development settings involving client-vendor relationships. both cases noted that vendor client sites appropriated spreadsheet technology quite specific ways, for locally bridging across sites. Yet files were...
In today's world of internationally connected software labor and consumer markets, globally distributed development (GSD) is common. It well documented that global requirements engineering (GRE) activities are challenging. However, there no silver bullet to address these challenges in practice GRE methods generally contextualized suit project characteristics. An important context has received little attention from researchers the increasingly popular Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) product...
