A goal of this project is reproducing human design process by accumulating knowledge and experience of human designers. Particularly, this paper presents an SDL-based software design tool, the experimental expert system CREATOR2, featuring: 1) integration of SDL-based CASE tools with knowledge-based reasoning techniques; 2) object-oriented (O-O) representation of the design process knowledge, c...

This paper aims at asserting the impact of formal specifications on the ergonomics of software user interfaces. It is shown that the use of an object-oriented design methodology featuring a formal specification and integrating human factors in the design process, is the best way to ensure quality both in the software and ergonomics domain. The method we propose is based both on Petri nets and o...

Lighting plays a key role in night escapes of urban spaces, in a way that it can be effective in giving identity to them. By considering this importance and inexistence of a process for composing urban Lighting strategy made this study to be conducted by the objective of providing process for compilation of context-oriented lighting strategy in urban spaces. Reaching a suitable solution for Li...

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is the discipline concerned with the design, evaluation, and implementation of interactive computing systems. Typically, HCI researchers do not primarily study existing technologies, styles of interaction, or interface solutions. On the contrary, one of the core activities in contemporary HCI is to design new technologies—prototypes—that act as vehicles through ...
