Beyond Speculation: Using Speculative Methods to Surface Ethics and Positionality in Design Practice and Pedagogy [PDF]
Global Discourse, 2021 This chapter explores the relationship between speculative design and ethics, both within and beyond the context of design pedagogic research. It examines some our struggles in, and motivations for, engaging with speculative methods in design as design scholars and practitioners, by reflecting on research which aimed to explore whether speculative ...

Graphemic and Graphetic Methods in Speculative Fiction [PDF]
Grapholinguistics and Its Applications, 2021 In this paper we define a model of literary prose text, in terms of an ontology: concepts, relations and rules. This ontology contains both concepts related to abstract linguistic entities and to material/geometric notions. Rules are included in order to modelize the conventions of orthotypographic tradition.

The relationship between speculation and translation in Bioethics: methods and methodologies
Monash Bioethics Review, 2023 AbstractThere are increasing pressures for bioethics to emphasise ‘translation’. Against this backdrop, we defend ‘speculative bioethics’. We explore speculation as an important tool and line of bioethical inquiry. Further, we examine the relationship between speculation and translational bioethics and posit that speculation can support translational ...

Heuristics for Profile-Driven Method-Level Speculative Parallelization [PDF]
2005 International Conference on Parallel Processing (ICPP'05), 2005 Thread level speculation (TLS) is an effective technique for extracting parallelism from sequential code. Method calls provide good templates for the boundaries of speculative threads as they often describe independent tasks. However, selecting the most profitable methods to speculate on is difficult as it involves complicated trade-offs between ...

Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media, 2019 This article explores approaches to propagating interspecies understanding and examines the most appropriate ways to investigate the topic as a form of research. It addresses making, or Research through Design (RtD), as a more appropriate research method to generate new knowledge around interspecies embodied experience and to help audiences consider ...

Speculative method in digital education research [PDF]
Learning, Media and Technology, 2016 ABSTRACTThe question of ‘what works’ is currently dominating educational research, often to the exclusion of other kinds of inquiries and without enough recognition of its limitations. At the same time, digital education practice, policy and research over-emphasises control, efficiency and enhancement, neglecting the ‘not-yetness’ of technologies and ...

A Comparison of Two Verification Methods for Speculative Instruction Execution [PDF]
, 2000 In this paper we describe and compare two methodologies for verifying the correctness of a speculative out-of-order execution system with interrupts. Both methods are deductive (we use PVS) and are based on refinement. The first proof is by direct refinement to a sequential system; the second proof combines refinement with induction over the number of ...

History-grounded Design Speculation as a Method for AIImpact Anticipation
Proceedings of the 16th Biannual Conference of the Italian SIGCHI ChapterAs Artificial Intelligence continues to permeate everyday life, concerns over its societal consequences are becoming increasingly pressing. Anticipatory practices have emerged as central to responsible AI development, offering ways to envision and mitigate potential harms.

Speculative Design in Spiraling Time: Methods and Indigenous HCI
CoRRIn this position paper, we first discuss the uptake of speculative design as a method for Indigenous HCI. Then, we outline how a key assumption about temporality threatens to undermine the usefulness of speculative design in this context. Finally, we briefly sketch out a possible alternative understanding of speculative design, based on the concept of "
