Transparent computing

I was writing a short description of what my research is and where it is going. This is the bit I've cut out 

I call my current research area, transparent computing. Transparent computing looks to build and study a range of devices trying to investigate how computing will change over the next ten years.

Transparency has two opposing threads which make up the theme, how to make interaction with a device transparent - were the way you use a computer becomes so transparent you don’t have to think about how to use the computer but on how to achieve your goal. This is strongly related to W's calm computing but also has notions of embodied computing. 

The other side of transparency is how to you remove the black box nature of current software systems? How to you visualise what’s going on inside the machine in order for users to better understand the limitations and conditions that the information being presented to them.  Currently computation stands as a Deus ex machina information is captured and the machine delivers the results (‘the machine says no’).  Frequently we don’t have the information to be aware of problems. The object of transparent computing is to give insights into the current state of the digital world.
