In this position paper, we introduce a design approach and preliminary evaluation of web interface cues that might trigger privacy heuristics. We use a scenariobased design approach to explore how different scenarios (privacy contexts) and heuristics (cognitive shortcuts or biases) might affect users’ decision-making about information disclosure. Our formative study characterizes some of the th...

The overall objective of the SEA Initiative is to develop a framework and a seamless process-flow for the design of complex embedded real-time systems in automotive applications. Both framework and process -flow need to support the entire automotive design chain from car manufacturers to subsystem providers, from IP providers to semiconductor developers. These objectives address several key iss...

The present paper introduces a scenario-based framework design for connecting emergency response system with human behavior analysis and social information processing, which aims at improving its comprehensive capability in dealing with unexpected situations caused by physical, social and psychological factors during a crisis. The overall framework consists of four function modules: scenario aw...

In engineering design, capturing customers’ requirements exactly and transforming them into design specifications are vital to designing a quality product. However, the expressions of customer requirements are normally imprecise and ambiguous due to their linguistic origins. There is still a lack of a systematic approach for elaborating these requirements and transforming them from informal to ...

Due to the tremendous penetration speed of pocket-size mobile devices, surfing the internet on the go is rapidly becoming a preferred life style for people nowadays. Smooth transition from e-commerce to mcommerce requires that businesses recognize a major paradigm shift in web interface design. While many studies have focused on obtaining functionalities requirements and have identified many cr...

Today, one of the new technologies in the modern era is Vehicular Ad-hoc Network which has takenenormous attention in the recent years. Because of rapid topology changing and frequent disconnectionmakes it difficult to design an efficient routing protocol for routing data between vehicles, called V2V orvehicle to vehicle communication and vehicle to roadside infrastructure, called V2I. Designin...
