this study is concerned with encouraging people to use post system in iran. in fact, it tries to find the design specifications of a post machine as an interacting system for improving post system. a machine that can provide facilities for posting parcels and selling envelops and stamps. in iran, post system is an obsolete system and cannot satisfy the users completely. in order to explore the ...

Computational technologies are changing rapidly due to fast and huge demand for computational power for variety of applications, societal factors and advances in science and technology. It is difficult to forecast exact nature of future computational technologies due to multiple and dynamic factors influencing technology advances. The paper focuses on computational technology trend from macro p...

Scenario profiles are used increasingly often for the assessment of quality attributes during the architectural design of software systems. However, the definition of scenario profiles is subjective and no data is available on the effects of individuals on scenario profiles. In this paper we present the design, analysis and results of a controlled experiment on the effect of individuals on scen...

Software development processes need to cover usability relevant information. Although several methods have been proposed how to collect usability relevant data, there is a lack of suggestions on how to deal with this information and how to ensure that it is available in a proper way at the relevant stages of the software development process. This paper proposes a framework to store and retrieve...

Many organisational environments are far from equilibrium. The strategic flexibilities of modular product designs can help organisations prepare for an uncertain future, but managers must develop ways to imagine possible futures in order to use such flexibilities to respond to them. This paper discusses a scenario-based approach to anticipating and responding to uncertain futures by developing ...

Design representations express the state of a design with respect to a followed design procedure. Scenario-Based Design (SBD) is an HCI usability engineering process that leverages claims, knowledge units encapsulating tradeoffs associated with design features. HCI students need to express the concepts and rationale in their interface design related to SBD, but the lack of a design representati...

In this paper we address the combination of the physical and digital worlds in the context of a mobile collaborative activity. Our work seeks to accommodate the needs of professional users by joining their physical and digital operational worlds in a seamless way. Our application domain is archaeological prospecting. We present our approach of the design process, based on field studies and on t...

This paper de®nes an object-oriented methodology for developing hypermedia information systems. The methodology consists of six phases: domain analysis; object modeling; view design; navigation design; implementation design; and construction. Users' requirements are analyzed with a responsibility-driven technology using scenarios. Object-oriented views are generated as the result of object mode...
