We (Anja Lehmann, abhi shelat, and I) have uploaded a first draft of our proposal for EUDI pseudonyms as input to the debate that is currently happening between EU countries. What is a pseudonym, what requirements does it need to tackle, and how can we potentially solve it? We'd be happy to open the discussion for any kind of feedback.

Critical Design Strategy: a Method for Heuristically Evaluating Visualisation Designs
We present the Critical Design Strategy (CDS) - a structured method designed to facilitate the examination of visualisation designs through reflection and critical thought. The CDS helps designers think critically and make informed improvements using heuristic evaluation. When developing a visual tool or pioneering a novel visualisation approach, identifying areas for enhancement can be challenging. Critical thinking is particularly crucial for visualisation designers and tool developers, espec…

Reflection Before Action: Designing a Framework for Quantifying Thought Patterns for Increased Self-awareness in Personal Decision Making
When making significant life decisions, people increasingly turn to conversational AI tools, such as large language models (LLMs). However, LLMs often steer users toward solutions, limiting metacognitive awareness of their own decision-making. In this paper, we shift the focus in decision support from solution-orientation to reflective activity, coining the term pre-decision reflection (PDR). We introduce PROBE, the first framework that assesses pre-decision reflections along two dimensions: br…
