Sensor networks or smart artifacts? an exploration of organizational issues of an industrial health and safety monitoring system

摘要: Industrial health and safety is an important yet largely unexplored application area of ubiquitous computing. In this paper we investigate the relationship between technology organization in context a concrete industrial system. The system designed to reduce number incidents "vibration white finger" (VWF) at construction sites uses wireless sensor nodes for monitoring workers' exposure vibrations testing compliance with legal regulations. particular impact on management operatives, formulation rules risk perception behavior operatives. addition, contrast sensornetwork inspired smart artifact systems, make case that these models have strong influence linkage organization.
