A Human-Centered Design Approach for the Ubiquitous Information Society

A Human-Centered Design Approach

Post Human–Centered Design Approach for Ubiquity

In this paper we ask if contemporary and design theory for ubiquitous computing and internet of things is not outdated and irrelevant in view of some contemporary theories of agency.

Information Retrieval Systems: A Human Centered Approach

In this article a human centered approach for Information Retrieval IR systems is offered. The focus of this article is on human users of IR systems, who are given the opportunity to offer enhanced relevance feedback. A novel approach is offered to capture the back-propagated feedback of human users during IR sessions. According to this approach the IR system is developed to accept human bidire...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Human - Centered Vs . User - Centered Approaches to Information System Design

Despite continuing debates about the "user" emphasis in HCI, new design approaches, such as interaction design, continue to focus on humans as technology users, constraining the human-centeredness of design outcomes. This paper argues that the difference between "user" focus and a human-centered focus lies in the way in which technology is designed. The emphasis on problem closure that is embed...
