@ARTICLE{10.21494/ISTE.OP.2024.1094, TITLE={Design lab for cognitive security}, AUTHOR={Axel Ducourneau, }, JOURNAL={Cognitive Engineering}, VOLUME={7}, NUMBER={Issue 1}, YEAR={2024}, URL={https://openscience.fr/Design-lab-for-cognitive-security}, DOI={10.21494/ISTE.OP.2024.1094}, ISSN={2517-6978}, ABSTRACT={This article argues for the sustainable development of a design lab for cognitive security based on six key principles: (1) society-centric analysis, (2) a prospective attitude, (3) horizontal and vertical coherence, (4) agility in the organisation of experiments, (5) speed of execution and (6) iterative integration of results with a view to prototyping solutions. These six principles combined underline the need for cognitive operations to be founded on an emic understanding of the target population (i.e. based on the concepts and thought systems specific to the people being studied), applied in an integrated and synchronised way throughout the ’organisation’ (and its partners) and within a constrained timeframe that enables the implementation of an appropriate deterrence strategy.}}
