Galactic Dimensions: A Unifying Workstyle Model for User-Centered Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a new unifying workstyle model for the usercentered design process, comprised of eight dimensions that we claim as fundamental to supporting the UCD process. Our proposal is new because it is the first workstyle model tailored to UCD. We also show the usefulness of workstyle modeling when evaluating the stage/effort of a project at a given time. Our workstyle model was based on the identification of the main obstacles to UCD and SE integration, current research results and extensive observation of HCI students involved in UCD projects. Though simple, it models the designer’s behavior and can be effectively and easily used to (a) choose adequate tool support for a given phase of a project and (b) drive the development of new UCD

متن کاملModeling Style of Work as an Aid to the Design and Evaluation of Interactive Systems
This paper presents the workstyle model, a novel technique for recording the working style of people using an interactive system. Workstyle complements task modeling by providing information on how people communicate and coordinate their activities, and by showing what style of artifact the work is to produce. We have applied the workstyle model to the evaluation of UML design tools and the des...

متن کاملCase study: Redesigning a Kansei Engineering Designed Scissors by User Centered Design Approach
This paper is based on the research which was conducted earlier on Kansei Engineering (KE) and resulted in a new concept for scissors to redesign it with another method called “User Centered Design” (UCD). This is a shift from translation of the consumers’ psychological feeling about a product related to their perception of the design (KE) to focus on designing for and involving users in the de...
