Psychology-Informed DAta-ceNtric COmputing (PIANO)

About this project

Increasingly, data-centric computing platforms are dealing with data that are either related to humans or generated by humans or consumed directly by them as end-users. Consequently, superior and effective design of these platforms needs to be cognizant of social and cognitive psychology theories. In the PIANO project, we explore psychology theory-informed design of data-centric computing platforms where the design is guided by theories from social and cognitive psychology.
