Special issue on the Design of Intelligent Environment

When we analyse behaviour from the viewpoint of information technologies, computer-supportedsystems may be mainly divided into two types of functional mechanisms. There are processing means and communication means. These two systems sort our activities from the view of Function and Mechanism. This special issue focuses on the correspondence between persons and computers or information systems a...

Special Issue on Cognitive Engineering

Computer-based systems have changed the nature of the work undertaken at the human-machine interface. More than ever before, operators of complex sociotechnological systems are working in a multidimensional information space. Within aviation, the development of the glass cockpit was the forerunner of things to come. Glass interfaces now pervade all areas of aviation systems. Computerization has...

Special Issue on Design and Development: Sourcing By Design: Product Complexity and the Supply Chain

This paper focuses on the connection between product complexity and vertical integration using original empirical evidence from the auto industry. A rich literature has addressed the choice between internal production and external sourcing of components in the auto industry. More recent literature has developed the concept of product architecture as another choice variable that may be one of th...

Special Issue on Global Land Product Validation

I N PARALLEL with the recent bloom of sensors providing frequent medium-resolution observations (Fig. 1), global land products have been increasingly developed and released within the community. The raw data acquired by these sensors are transformed into higher level products that can be more easily exploited by the user community. In many cases, multiple products are developed from each sensor...
