Human-Centered Design Using System Modeling Language

Human - Centered Vs . User - Centered Approaches to Information System Design

Despite continuing debates about the "user" emphasis in HCI, new design approaches, such as interaction design, continue to focus on humans as technology users, constraining the human-centeredness of design outcomes. This paper argues that the difference between "user" focus and a human-centered focus lies in the way in which technology is designed. The emphasis on problem closure that is embed...

The creation of a conceptual model helps to understand the problem raised and represents the human-centered/ problem-oriented moment in the software process, as opposed to the computer-centered/software-oriented moment of the computational models (Blum, 1996). The main objective of human compu...
