Some people may be laughing when looking at you reading in your spare time. Some may be admired of you. And some may want be like you who have reading hobby. What about your own feel? Have you felt right? Reading is a need and a hobby at once. This condition is the on that will make you feel that you must read. If you know are looking for the book enPDFd user centered interaction design pattern...

Learner-centered instructional design places students’ learning needs in the center of the instructional design process. In the learner-centered instructional design model for distance learning, learners’ motivational and affective needs are emphasized; steps of creating a learner-centered environment that supports learning strategies are described. This model provides a practical framework to ...

The software process research community has concentrated a large measure of its eeort on the problem of how to \computerize" the software process. In particular, the notion of a process-centered environment has emerged, dominating software environment research for the past several years. Among the many beneets touted for process-centered environments are the ability to automate various aspects ...

This paper discussed different issues related to the usability of speech interaction system. It includes the usability concept, different design approaches, design process and evaluation questions for speech interaction system. Usability is a very fuzzy concept, especially when it related to the speech interaction system: it is hard to measure and it is very much context dependent. The traditio...

A new discipline, Usability Design, is introduced as an extension to Rational Unified Process (RUP). The aim is to make RUP more user-centred. The discipline springs out of best practices for user-centred design and contains activities that have been carefully tested. Five new roles are introduced to take responsibility for the different activities. An example is given to show the content of th...

As computers become more powerful and prevalent, more researchers are exploring computer tools to help novices gain an understanding into new work domains. The development of such tools involves what has been termed a “learner-centered design” process. But while there is an intuitive notion of what is meant by learner-centered design, there is no formal definition. Here we present our definitio...

Timethreads are a new notation for visual description of path behavior. Also, a design process based on timethreads, namely timethread-centered design process, has been defined. In this report, we discuss the integration of the FDT LOTOS in the timethread-centered design process. The objective of such an integration is to provide formal support for timethread transformations with LOTOS. For thi...

User-centered approaches to design can guide teams towards an understanding of users and aid teams in better posing design problems. This paper investigates the role of user-centered design approaches in design process and outcome within the context of design team projects. The value of interaction with users is examined at several stages throughout the design process. The influence of user-cen...

The use of formal models for user interface design can provide a number of benefits. It can help to ensure consistency across designs for multiple platforms, prove properties such as reachability and completeness and, perhaps most importantly, can help incorporate the user interface design process into a larger, formally-based, software development process. Often, descriptions of such models an...

by André Perrott User-centred design has been one of the central factors for success in the design of consumer products. The importance of concepts such as usability, intuitive design and simplicity continue to increase in importance alongside the core need for functionality. Instead of technology being the only focus, it is now enlarged by a focus on the users – who can choose the product they...
