Abstract
The impact of current telecommunications on life in developed countries is amazing, allowing for fast transmission of data over the Internet. This can also be usefully supported by sensor technologies, to allow for powerful remote sensing capabilities. As a result, huge amounts of data is showering us every second, inspiring in turn the developments in the area of data analytics where OLAP technologies allow for data extraction and fusion, for the sake of deriving really useful knowledge. Hence, ICT (Information and Communication Technology) is changing many aspects of our lives, making it possible to derive, transmit, and immediately use data on a global scale. This leads to the question: Has ICT improved our lives? Many answers to this question would be positive because the wide availability of useful data can facilitate many Human activities, no doubt about this. Nevertheless, this same data showering can also put at risk essential public values, such as safety, privacy, accountability, and trust. This paper analyzes the potential tensions between capabilities related to telecommunications and remote sensing, on one hand and such values, on the other hand, resulting in the definition of a corresponding conceptual model. Using it, we outline solution directions assuming a value-sensitive design over the developments of telecommunications/remote sensing systems. We provide illustrations accordingly, using several toy examples. Further research focuses on reflecting those conceptualizations in concrete design patterns (building blocks) that could usefully support the development of value sensitive ICT systems.
