Applying a Human-Centred Process to Re-Design Equipment and Work Environments

Applying a Human-Centred Process to Re-Design Equipment and Work Environments

Safe design is an increasingly influential approach due to a growing recognition of the contribution of design to workplace safety. It aims to eliminate workplace hazards by systematically involving end-users in the design or redesign process. In this review paper, the explicit and novel focus is upon redesign, rather than original design. The literature in the field is appraised and a human-ce...

Do Process-centred Environments Deserve Process-centred Tools? 1 Process-centred Software Development Environments

Process-centred software development environments integrate a process engine, which enacts a process program, with tools that automate particular tasks or provide facilities for document production. Previous papers in this workshop series have focussed on process automation from a process programming point of view and have discussed language primitives and techniques for their enactment. They a...

Human-Centred Design for Intelligent Environments

Intelligent environments (IEs) are smart spaces that are equipped with seamless computing technologies to empower the occupants/users of those spaces for completing the activities of daily living in an efficient way, while insuring security, safety and optimal usage of resources. Naturally, IEs cover a number of settings going from offices, hospitals, schools, factories to cities. While IEs tec...

Applying a Work-Centred Exploratory Design Framework to Joint Fires Coordination

Developing design requirements and associated design concepts for a future C2 capability requires analytical tools with the power to provide design insights for systems that are first of a kind. This paper provides an overview of the principal results from applying a work-centred, constraint-based design framework, that is sensitive to such design challenges, to develop requirements for a futur...
