This chapter emphasizes user-centered design as the essential process for developing usable systems. User-centered design tries to strengthen the creative aspects of user interface design. However, this does not fit very well with the more structured, architecture-centered nature of object-oriented development methodologies. Several problems associated with object-oriented techniques have been ...

We present a design process for incorporating data quality requirements into database schemas that is rooted in goal-oriented requirements analysis techniques, developed in the Requirement Engineering community over last 15 years. Goal-oriented approaches (i) offer a body of notations, techniques and processes for modeling, analyzing and operationalizing quality requirements; (ii) support repre...

In today’s competitive, dynamic, and changing business environment, being able to collaborate globally within and beyond the enterprise borders is critical. Inter-Organizational Collaborations (IOCs) have been proposed as a response to the characteristics of highly competitive global business environments. So far, a number of reference models, frameworks, and ad hoc architectures related to som...

The introduction of new technologies leads to a more and more complex interactive systems design. In order to describe the future interactive system, the human computer interaction domain uses specific models, design processes and tools in order to represent, create, store and manipulate models. The aim of our work is to facilitate the work of model designers and project managers by helping the...

Process-oriented programming is a design methodology in which software applications are constructed from communicating concurrent processes. A typical process-oriented design involves the composition of a large number of small isolated component processes. These concurrent components allow for the scalable parallel execution of the resulting application on both sharedmemory and distributed-memo...

Design patterns are quickly being adopted by the object-oriented community. The application of design patterns to object-oriented software development has already brought positive results in practice. Reported benefits include significant increases in quality and productivity. There are however no tools yet to support the process of pattern-based design. An important reason for this lack of com...

the purpose of this research was to analyze efl writing tasks in two of the most popular english for speakers of other languages (esol) exam preparation courses in iran, namely ielts and toefl. having collected the criteria of writing task appropriateness in light of the process-oriented approach to writing instruction, we asked 60 learner participants to rate efl writing tasks in 3 ielts and 3...

Graphene is a single-atom-thick layer of carbon atoms, the thinnest material ever discovered. The special single atomic structure graphene makes it have many unique physical and chemical properties, these excellent properties make bright application prospect in field composite materials. use modern digital production technology to coordinate management various departments an enterprise can grea...
