چکیده
Engineer-Computer Interaction (ECI), is a new sub-domain of Human-Computer Interaction specifically tailored to engineers needs. ECI i) uses an information classification schema, ii) provides a modular approach to task decomposition, and iii) integrates standard engineer characteristics and working procedures into software. A software toolkit that interprets monitoring data taken from bridges was developed according to ECI guidelines. This toolkit was given to engineers for testing and evaluation. Empirical evaluation using questionnaires was performed. Results show that this ECI software corresponds to engineers needs and that the ECI approach has the potential to be applied to other engineering tasks. To be published in Artificial Intelligence for Engineering Design Analysis and Manufacturing, Special Issue, September 2002 Engineer-Computer Interaction

An Interactive Toolkit for Structural Monitoring
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.

متن کاملEngineer-computer interaction for structural monitoring
An increased availability of information technology (IT) is currently influencing decisions to monitor structures more frequently. IT is invariably used to interpret structural behaviour from monitoring data. However, engineers remain frustrated with IT results. Engineers work with incomplete knowledge, problem specific characteristics, and context dependency. Although such conditions require i...
متن کاملFeature Dimension Reduction of Multisensor Data Fusion using Principal Component Fuzzy Analysis
These days, the most important areas of research in many different applications, with different tools, are focused on how to get awareness. One of the serious applications is the awareness of the behavior and activities of patients. The importance is due to the need of ubiquitous medical care for individuals. That the doctor knows the patient's physical condition, sometimes is very important. O...
متن کاملThe Scope and Importance of Human Interruption in Human-Computer Interaction Design
At first glance it seems absurd that busy people doing important jobs should want their computers to interrupt them. Interruptions are disruptive and people need to concentrate to make good decisions. However, successful job performance also frequently depends on people’s abilities to (a) constantly monitor their dynamically changing information environments, (b) collaborate and communicate wit...
