    ICS team contributes to the work package on 3 dealing with Usability aspects of Security. The general objective of this work package is to provide security mechanisms that ensure control over data and its uses (including citizens' private data and corporate assets), in order to guarantee data sovereignty. The proposed solutions will be, by construction, reliable, respectful of legal regulations (RGPD, Data Act, Data Governance Act, eIDAS, NIS2, etc) and usable for users of varying levels and knowledge (both in security and IT). Usability will be guaranteed by the definition and development of innovative methods, techniques and tools, as well as by identifying, during the design phase, users' training needs and their working context.

    Interactive training systems can embody so-called intelligent technologies: robotics, activity recognition, intelligent tutoring systems and artificial intelligence. For stroke rehabilitation, they cover specific objectives of a rehabilitation program. In order not to limit the intelligence of these systems to specific objectives, the TEAM UP project will provide a tool-based approach to the design and development of intelligent interactive training systems that know and recognize all the user tasks in an individual rehabilitation program and are able to adapt their behavior to the user's progress.

    Series of conceptual investigations leading to a theoretical framework on Usability, User Experience, Security and Privacy with regards to remote controls for interactive TV and entertainment applications in homes, cars and on the move. The research program includes a series of studies identifying new concepts for control that are not only usable, but also provide a high user experience when used, while enabling security and privacy from the user’s perspective while defining the requirements for a technological implementation. Security and Privacy for control, be it in the living room, in a car or on the move, deeply depends on the mechanisms that are provided to the user (and not only on the ability of the underlying technological systems). Goal of this program is to develop in an iterative user-centered design and development process a series of control concepts that enable users to actively balance and engage with software qualities like usability, user experience, privacy or security, by giving user the choice: would they prefer to have a system that is rather personalized and are they willing to give more personal data for such systems, or do they prefer to have a more secure system, affecting the usability of the system as higher security standards might lead to more tasks and steps that have to be executed in the user interface. The research program builds on work that has been performed in a series of projects between ruwido and the ICS group at IRIT since 2008. The main purpose is to investigate how existing tools like Hamsters can be applied to the application areas and to gain insights on the limitations of such approaches in a scientific publishable way
