... In addition, new technological capabilities, such as large-scale and massively distributed sensor systems, are allowing researchers to explore new, and potentially global, scales where the "field" has become the "laboratory." She also referred to the scenario discussions on cross-cultural issues that addressed differing norms regarding "personal space," gender roles and preferences, safety and trust in automation, and communication. Addressing these cultural differences, she noted, would benefit from national and local -- as well as global–expertise.
