{{Workshop Submission
|Interest=The focus of this workshop being on systems for scholarly communication looks at fundamental work in CSCW - infrastructures, sensemaking, that help show how current systems may not embody practices of scholars seeking to reconcile concepts across interdisciplinary work. I am interested in this aspect of sensemaking, infrastructures etc. - core aspects of system understanding that may play a part in ICT use and development as well.
|Interest=How can we re-imagine user-system interactions (exchange) in various types of information, intelligent systems, by understanding sensemaking principles?
 
In terms of this workshop - I see a lot of overlapping interests with blackbox models/ narratives of info processing, decentralized & distributed sensemaking, discovery, search, synthesis, accessibility, NLP.

|Materials=I am sharing some writing from an ongoing project that explores embedded mental models based on task models within systems, in order to ascertain the role of a system in supporting user’s sensemaking: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17MqbkrsCTZGsKjl5fzvzRG9UG2dkSmW0clcPjr8TYKk/edit#
|Materials=*Intelligent systems* e.g. search systems, natural language processing systems, phone and computer operating systems, web browsers, email system
|Organizer Topics=Sensemaking, HCI
 
*Intelligent systems, infact a constellation of many systems,  organize/arrange and act as medium for  information in our lived life contexts - everyday, work. etc. Increasingly research is showing that  diverse user groups face issues forming conceptual models of how systems work, i.e. systems' operation may be black-box to them causing issues with information exchanges: e.g.s Older populations not understanding how systems like web accounts work, younger children not understanding how search systems retrieve information, populations of all ages not being able to make sense of algorithms in everyday life like advertisement, retrieval, recommendation.
 
*Why could that be ? **
How “interaction” is considered by Intelligent systems’, i.e. embedded models in the form of popular principles underlie the design of interactions with all such systems .
e.g.1) Popular task/process conceptions : e.g. login sequences, web accounts, query/retrieval
e.g.2) Typical symbologies (magnifying glass icon for search) and terminologies (e.g. “sign up, log in)
e.g.3)
e.g.4) Conceptual Models of interconnected systems assumed to be commonly known by users: Phone as an Operating System, Computers, Web, Web accounts (google account across gmail, youtube, OS etc.)commonly in development, popular principles are used - such as website layouts, search engine layouts etc.
 
*What is missing in this conception,  if diverse user groups have been shown to not be able to gather complete system models?
*How can we re-imagine user-system interactions, by understanding sensemaking principles
