    The size of animal exhibits has important effects on their lives and welfare. However, most references to exhibit size only consider floor space and height dimensions, without considering the space afforded by usable features within the exhibit. In this paper, we develop two possible methods for measuring the usable space of zoo exhibits and apply these to a sample exhibit. Having a metric for usable space in place will provide a better reflection of the quality of different exhibits, and enhance comparisons between exhibits.

    As interest in usable security spreads, the use of visual approaches in which the functioning of a distributed system is made visually available to end users is an approach that a number of researchers have examined. In this paper, we discuss the use of the social navigation paradigm as a way of organizing visual displays of system action. Drawing on a previous study of security in the Kazaa peer to peer system, we present some examples of the ways in which social navigation can be incorporated in support of usable security.

    In the 21st century, it is common for people of many professions to have interesting datasets to which machine learning models may be usefully applied. However, they are often unable to do so due to the lack of usable tools for statistical non-experts. We present a line of research into using the spreadsheet - already familiar to end-users as a paradigm for data manipulation - as a usable interface which lowers the statistical and computing knowledge barriers to building and using these models.

    Since the publication of "Why Johnny Can't Encrypt,"10 there has been interest in creating usable, secure email that is adoptable by the general public. In this article, we summarize research from the usable-security community on this topic, identify open problems, and call for more research on usable key management.

    Through past experiences deploying what we call usable ML (one step beyond explainable ML, including both explanations and other augmenting information) to real-world domains, we have learned three key lessons. First, many organizations are beginning to hire people who we call ``bridges'' because they bridge the gap between ML developers and domain experts, and these people fill a valuable role in developing usable ML applications. Second, a configurable system that enables easily iterating on usable ML interfaces during collaborations with bridges is key. Finally, there is a need for continuous, in-deployment evaluations to quantify the real-world impact of usable ML. Throughout this paper, we apply these lessons to the task of wind turbine monitoring, an essential task in the renewable energy domain. Turbine engineers and data analysts must decide whether to perform costly in-person investigations on turbines to prevent potential cases of brakepad failure, and well-tuned usable ML interfaces can aid with this decision-making process. Through the applications of our lessons to this task, we hope to demonstrate the potential real-world impact of usable ML in the renewable energy domain.

    Usable floor area is one of the most important spatial attributes of buildings and premises. It is the basis of their taxation, as well as the most frequently used conversion factor for calculating the value of built-up land and premises. Unfortunately, the current legal regulations on usable floor area records remain inconsistent and imprecise. This paper is an attempt to identify the main problems related to the determination of usable floor area of building structures and their parts for various purposes. The definitions of usable floor area contained in the relevant legislation will be compared, with particular regard to the provisions on the cadastre and real property taxation. The authors emphasise the consequences of the existing differences and imperfections of these definitions and discuss the criteria for classifying specific space as usable floor area.

    This proposal describes a panel on the topic of universally usable e-government for the 2011 Digital Government conference. Many e-government services are not universally usable, and this panel will discuss some of the policy approaches for moving towards universally usable e-government services.
