The performance of interactive systems is determined in relation to the context in which the system and users interact for task execution. It is obvious that the significance and complexity of contextual information require systemic approaches for managing it in the design process. As the system complexity and diversity of types and ranges of use context increase, context sensitivity becomes a ...

Recently, design researchers have been interested in observation-analysis approach to study design activities. This is how the annotation and annotation tools have been introduced into the design research. This paper describes the annotation process as an approach in design activity studies and proposes a sequential structure for the annotation process. The research objective is to characterize...

This paper is based on the research which was conducted earlier on Kansei Engineering (KE) and resulted in a new concept for scissors to redesign it with another method called “User Centered Design” (UCD). This is a shift from translation of the consumers’ psychological feeling about a product related to their perception of the design (KE) to focus on designing for and involving users in the de...

In this paper, the use-centered interface design for an adaptable administration system for chemical process design is presented. On the basis of the main work activities to be supported with the tool, two different analytical evaluation methods were applied to the prototypical original interface. The derived requirements led to the design and implementation of an alternative interface which wa...

Many medical universitiesaround the world have donestunning changes in the recent years.Some of these changes have been performed with the support of international organizations.They changed the traditionaltrainingprograms based on teacher- centered learning and disciplined approach to the educational course based on community needs responsivity and Student-centered learning. This process is ai...
