This paper presents a perspective of Compatible Human-Computer Interaction (CHCI) for engineers. This perspective includes their needs, and helps tailor software according to engineering tasks. We refer to this as Engineer-Computer Interaction (ECI). The ECI framework is instantiated as a software toolkit for structural monitoring and an evaluation of work so far is presented.

Radiation therapy (RT) developed in several eras. Patients’ needs for more effective treatment guided the efforts. The development of ion beam therapy (IBT) can be seen as a corollary in this continuous endeavor to optimize disease control while minimizing normal-tissue damage. It could not have materialized, however, without the curiosity, ingenuity, and perseverance of researchers, engineers,...

New laws are increasingly constraining informations systems.To prevent misuses of the law, requirements engineers are faced with the problem of incorporating legal prescriptions into requirements analysis. Nòmos is an extension of i*, which allows to build models of legal prescriptions alongside intentional elements, and derive this way requirements that at the same time fulfill stakeholder nee...

Scientists, engineers, knowledge workers and others need help managing their personal data files and the programs that manipulate their data. The current generation of software for supporting their needs, which we call Personal File Managers (PFMs), is not adequate. We propose five requirements that a next generation PFM should satisfy. We have created a mockup of a PFM which satisfies these re...

Objective: In this paper, we present a systematic literature review of motivation in Software Engineering. The objective of this review is to plot the landscape of current reported knowledge in terms of what motivates developers, what de-motivates them and how existing models address motivation. Methods: We perform a systematic literature review of peer reviewed published studies that focus on ...
