Memoirs of the CP/M creator released:
“Our father, Gary Kildall, was one of the founders of the personal computer industry, but you probably don’t know his name. Those who have heard of him may recall the myth that he ‘missed’ the opportunity to become Bill Gates by going flying instead of meeting with IBM. Unfortunately, this tall tale paints Gary as a ‘could-have-been,’ ignores his deep contributions, and overshadows his role as an inventor of key technologies that define how compute…

In His Own Words: Gary Kildall
Gary Kildall was a pioneer of personal computer software. He wrote programming language tools, including assemblers (Intel 4004), interpreters (BASIC), and compilers (PL/M). He created a widely-used disk operating system (CP/M). He and his wife, Dorothy McEwen, started a successful company called Digital Research to develop and market CP/M, which for years was the dominant operating system for personal microcomputers. Thousands of programs were written to run under it, and a million or more peo…

How Viable are Energy Savings in Smart Homes? A Call to Embrace Rebound Effects in Sustainable HCI
As part of global climate action, digital technologies are seen as a key enabler of energy efficiency savings. A popular application domain for this work is smart homes. There is a risk, however, that these efficiency gains result in rebound effects, which reduce or even overcompensate the savings. Rebound effects are well-established in economics, but it is less clear whether they also inform smart energy research in other disciplines. In this paper, we ask: to what extent have rebound effects…

Green Computing: The Ultimate Carbon Destroyer for a Sustainable Future
Green computing represents a critical pathway to decarbonize the digital economy while maintaining technological progress. This article examines how sustainable IT strategies including energy-efficient hardware, AI-optimized data centres, and circular e-waste systems can transform computing into a net carbon sink. Through analysis of industry best practices and emerging technologies like quantum computing and biodegradable electronics, we demonstrate achievable reductions of 40-60% in energy co…

The CryptoNeo Threat Modelling Framework (CNTMF): Securing Neobanks and Fintech in Integrated Blockchain Ecosystems
The rapid integration of blockchain, cryptocurrency, and Web3 technologies into digital banks and fintech operations has created an integrated environment blending traditional financial systems with decentralised elements. This paper introduces the CryptoNeo Threat Modelling Framework (CNTMF), a proposed framework designed to address the risks in these ecosystems, such as oracle manipulation and cross-chain exploits. CNTMF represents a proposed extension of established methodologies like STRIDE…

A Survey of Passive Sensing for Workplace Wellbeing and Productivity
The modern workplace is undergoing a radical transformation, driven by technological advances that blur the boundaries between human capability and digital augmentation. At the forefront of this evolution is passive sensing technology - a suite of tools that quietly monitor and interpret human behavior without active user engagement. This paper examines how these technologies are reshaping our understanding of workplace dynamics, with a particular focus on employee wellbeing and productivity. T…

AI and Remote Sensing for Resilient and Sustainable Built Environments: A Review of Current Methods, Open Data and Future Directions
Critical infrastructure, such as transport networks, underpins economic growth by enabling mobility and trade. However, ageing assets, climate change impacts (e.g., extreme weather, rising sea levels), and hybrid threats ranging from natural disasters to cyber attacks and conflicts pose growing risks to their resilience and functionality. This review paper explores how emerging digital technologies, specifically Artificial Intelligence (AI), can enhance damage assessment and monitoring of trans…

Filters of Identity: AR Beauty and the Algorithmic Politics of the Digital Body
This position paper situates AR beauty filters within the broader debate on Body Politics in HCI. We argue that these filters are not neutral tools but technologies of governance that reinforce racialized, gendered, and ableist beauty standards. Through naming conventions, algorithmic bias, and platform governance, they impose aesthetic norms while concealing their influence. To address these challenges, we advocate for transparency-driven interventions and a critical rethinking of algorithmic …

From Literature to ReWA: Discussing Reproductive Well-being in HCI
Reproductive well-being is shaped by intersecting cultural, religious, gendered, and political contexts, yet current technologies often reflect narrow, Western-centric assumptions. In this literature review, we synthesize findings from 147 peer-reviewed papers published between 2015 and 2025 across HCI, CSCW and social computing, ICTD, digital and public health, and AI for well-being scholarship to map the evolving reproductive well-being landscape. We identify three thematic waves that focused…

Archiverse: an Approach for Immersive Cultural Heritage
Digital technologies and tools have transformed the way we can study cultural heritage and the way we can recreate it digitally. Techniques such as laser scanning, photogrammetry, and a variety of Mixed Reality solutions have enabled researchers to examine cultural objects and artifacts more precisely and from new perspectives. In this part of the panel, we explore how Virtual Reality (VR) and eXtended Reality (XR) can serve as tools to recreate and visualize the remains of historical cultural …

Environmental (in)considerations in the Design of Smartphone Settings
Designing for sufficiency is one of many approaches that could foster more moderate and sustainable digital practices. Based on the Sustainable Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) literature, we identify five environmental settings categories. However, our analysis of three mobile OS and nine representative applications shows an overall lack of environmental concerns in settings design, leading us to identify six pervasive anti-patterns. Environ…

Beyond QWERTY: A pressure-based text input approach for XR that enables a touch-typing like experience
Text input in extended reality (XR) applications remains inefficient and tedious. Most solutions are derived from the traditional keyboard layout, yet fail to translate its positive characteristics to the spatial digital realm. This limits the productive use of immersive technologies. In this work, we analyze physical keyboard input to identify key characteristics that facilitate its comfort, touch typing and high typing speeds. Building on these findings, we propose a novel pressure- based tex…
