Investigating the case-based reasoning process during HCI design
نویسندگان
چکیده
Given that the design activity makes use of previous design knowledge, we turned to case-based reasoning (CBR) to help identify opportunities to support the design of human-computer interaction (HCI). Using interviews with professional designers and Semiotic Engineering, we developed a CBR tool called CHIDeK (Computer-Human Interaction Design Knowledge), with which we conducted a study to observe how it influenced the HCI design activity. We found that the cases recorded in CHIDeK supported design by motivating the designers’ reflective process, triggering their memories of experiences with similar systems, and helping to generate new ideas. We have also identified limitations in our case representation and case access methods, which offer opportunities for further research. Keywords—HCI design; case-based reasoning; design knowledge; design tools; human-computer interaction; semiotic engineering

In this paper I describe an introspective review of the development, or invention, of a novel 4D user interface to support spatial-temporal reasoning in the domain of air traffic control. We will use the development of this interface as a case from which to study inventiveness. Through this process, we will propose some lessons learnt about the invention process, and then consider how these les...
متن کاملConceptual Design for Assembly
This paper presents an approach to support computer-aided conceptual design of mechatronic assemblies in a collaborative, multi-user environment. We describe a system, Conceptual Understanding and Prototyping (CUP), that allows a team of design engineers, collaborating over the Internet, to develop a high-level structure-function-behavior (S-B-F) description of an assembly in a VRML-based virtu...
