N2 - Emergencies are characterised by uncertainty. This motivates the design ofinformation systems that model and predict complex natural, material or humanprocesses to support understanding and reduce uncertainty through prediction.The correspondence between system models and reality, however, is alsogoverned by uncertainties, and designers have developed methods to render ‘theworld’ transparent in ways that can inform, fine-tune and validate models.Additionally, people experience uncertainties in their use of simulation andprediction systems. This is a major obstacle to effective utilisation. We discussethically and socially motivated demands for transparency.
