Method for Privacy Requirements Elicitation in Ubiquitous Computing

In today's world, technology is an increasingly greater part of daily life, especially in terms of data collection and sharing practices that may pose a risk to privacy. Users may not understand their privacy completely because within system development there is a gap between users' and software designers' mental models. This paper discusses the main challenges and solutions for establishing privacy in ubiquitous contexts. To do so, we use a theoretical basis to propose a method for eliciting privacy requirements in ubiquitous computing, by involving software designers and users. Through an use example, we verified that the proposed method allowed the designer to recognize the need for privacy in the systems and design jointly with users solutions to inform and protect privacy.
