Designing with varying design parameters: The Unified Design Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
Designing on the basis of varying design parameters means that alternative design artifacts may need to be employed for different parameter values. In such situations, the potentially broad range of different parameter values renders impractical the production of distinct design versions. Consequently, there is a need for a design process which is capable of managing diversity within the design act itself. This paper presents the unified design process, which addresses systematically the management of design alternatives, by providing a framework for unifying diverging design decisions, based on the fundamental notion of design polymorphism. The Unified Design Method has been recently proposed and applied in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) for the purpose of achieving universal access, and in particular for the design of interfaces capable of self-adapting to individual users and usage-contexts. The discussion in this paper will be based on the findings of recent research and development work, while some important issues for future research will be also addressed.

A Unified Approach for Design of Lp Polynomial Algorithms
By summarizing Khachiyan's algorithm and Karmarkar's algorithm forlinear program (LP) a unified methodology for the design of polynomial-time algorithms for LP is presented in this paper. A key concept is the so-called extended binary search (EBS) algorithm introduced by the author. It is used as a unified model to analyze the complexities of the existing modem LP algorithms and possibly, help ...

متن کاملUnified user interface design: designing universally accessible interactions
Designing universally accessible user interfaces means designing for diversity in end-users and contexts of use, and implies making alternative design decisions, at various levels of the interaction design, inherently leading to diversity in the final design outcomes. Towards this end, a design method leading to the construction of a single interface design instance is inappropriate, as it cann...
