The User-centered design (UCD) game is a tool for human-computer interaction practitioners to demonstrate the key user-centered design methods and how they interrelate in the design process in an interactive and participatory manner. The target audiences are departments and institutions unfamiliar with UCD but whose work is related to the definition, creation, and update of a product or service.

New modeling approaches appeared in the last decade centered on the premise that process structures in data-intensive landscapes are pushed by dependencies observed at the data level. However, as these approaches answer to reduced subsets of all data-related needs, they have a limited practical impact [12]. This work defines a set of data-based requirements to model responsive systems, studies ...

A new information system landscape is emerging that will be more model-centered than object-oriented, characterized by many models of low granularity and high abstraction. These models may describe various aspects of a system such as products, structural organization and processes. This latter category may be refined in manufacturing, software and business processes for example. Each of these s...

For each professional group we analysed their work context, motivations, work practices, and strategies used to overcome the obstacles to user-...

In this paper, a set of user-centered evaluation methods, used to construct a richer conception of the audience of an online Modern Greek online course, are presented. First an analysis of the design methodology employed in this specific case study is provided and then examples of how valuable usability information can be extracted from different user-center evaluation methods is presented. Con...
