Abstract A significant challenge hindering the widespread adoption of approximate hardware units is the complexity associated with test and error evaluation. We address this issue by extending Information Flow Tracking (IFT) for hardware designs to accommodate approximate units. Unlike conventional IFT approaches, our system employs a dynamic, error-responsive tag-based mechanism that facilitates tracking the error characteristics and their propagation within approximate units. Such an approach is vital in the domain of approximate computing, where uncommon yet substantial errors, such as those found in Equal Segmentation Adders (ESA), can markedly influence computation accuracy and reliability. By focusing on the dynamic nature of errors and their traceability, our methodology supports understanding the effects of approximation errors, thereby promoting their broader utilisation in various applications. The results of our study demonstrate the potential of analysing error propagation in approximate designs.

Abstract Inspired by the rich tapestry of nature, biomimicry encourages designers, engineers, and researchers to draw inspiration from the natural world to create technological solutions. However, little is known about the usage of biomimicry in participatory research involving local people without technical expertise. In this paper, we present two case studies to explore how performative biomimicry is when applied in a participatory research process with local people of different ages. To this end, we conducted two different case studies and asked our participants to analyze the characteristics of different animal species to design an interactive prototype that addresses a specific task. Both case studies demonstrated promising potential for biomimicry, as the participants drew inspiration from animal species to develop functional prototypes and narratives that resonate on an emotional level. Finally, we discuss the benefits of integrating biomimicry in participatory research and how this method could be used to promote social change and transformation in the society, for example, in STEM education, digital literacy, and environmental awareness.

Abstract In the digital age of health, health professionals face the major challenge of adapting to rapidly evolving digital technologies. Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) and communication are essential skills to use the potential of a digital health system and project work in Creative Labs, especially regarding high-risk projects that bring together professionals from different backgrounds for the common goal of developing innovative concepts and products. So far, too little interprofessional competence acquisition is offered at universities. In this article, we present a joint teaching program in which students of computer science and health sciences design and develop digital health projects in joint project work. The teaching program consists of different phases, including thematic basics, accompanying identification of ideas for the project work, working sessions, and final presentation of the digital health projects. We also present the teaching concept, as well as the piloting of the program and the results of its evaluation. The results point to the high potential that can unfold in IPC teaching and how important it is for future healthcare professionals to be adaptable to new technologies and IPC. Practical recommendations include considerations for joint teaching, module structure, and a brief discussion of challenges on an organizational level.

Abstract The paper presents a novel digital tool – the “Knowledge Synthesizer” – that converges research knowledge in the context of sustainable urban development, and generates insights about relevant future trends in the field. Conceived and implemented for the large-scale research program “Sustainable Development of Urban Regions” (SURE), the prototype tool organizes knowledge created by roughly 400 persons who are active in 147 involved institutions. Throughout the history of science, various attempts have been made to design synthetic devices to integrate large bodies of knowledge and generate new intelligence. Inspired by such historical concepts, and informed by an inquiry into the epistemological nature of knowledge generation, the paper outlines the design and functionality of the digital prototype, its general components and first test applications in the context of SURE.
