Gibson, Lorna, Arnott, John, Moncur, Wendy, Martin, Christopher, Forbes, Paula and Bhachu, Amritpal S. (2010): Designing social networking sites for older adults. In: Proceedings of the HCI10 Conference on People and Computers XXIV 2010. pp. 186-194.
The importance of older adults' social networks in providing practical, emotional and informational support is well documented. In this paper, we reflect on the personal social networks of older adults, and the shortcomings of existing online Social Networking Sites (SNSs) in supporting their needs. We report findings from ethnographic interviews, focus groups and hands-on demonstrations with older adults, where we find key themes affecting adoption of SNSs. We then consider design aspects that should be taken into account for future SNSs, if they are to meet the preferences of older users.

Moncur, Wendy, Masthoff, Judith and Reiter, Ehud (2009): Facilitating benign deceit in mediated communication. In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2009 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems 2009. pp. 3383-3388.
This research explores how to communicate an individuals' self-reported emotional state to members of their personal social network, through automatic, computer-generated, personalised updates. Results of two qualitative studies are described where participants were unwilling to disclose their emotional state fully to all of their network members, choosing to deceive selected members instead. Further, participants indicated that they would want automatic personalised updates for network members to incorporate these deceits.

Moncur, Wendy and Leplâtre, Grégory (2007): Pictures at the ATM: exploring the usability of multiple graphical passwords. In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2007 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems 2007. pp. 887-894.
Users gain access to cash, confidential information and services at Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) via an authentication process involving a Personal Identification Number (PIN). These users frequently have many different PINs, and fail to remember them without recourse to insecure behaviours. This is not a failing of users. It is a usability failing in the ATM authentication mechanism. This paper describes research executed to evaluate whether users find multiple graphical passwords more memorable than multiple PINs. The research also investigates the success of two memory augmentation strategies in increasing memorability of graphical passwords. The results demonstrate that multiple graphical passwords are substantially more effective than multiple PIN numbers. Memorability is further improved by the use of mnemonics to aid their recall. This study will be of interest to HCI practitioners and information security researchers exploring approaches to usable security.
