Design and Evaluation of Complex Assistive Technology Systems Using Ethnographic Methods
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes the assessment of MAPS (Memory Aiding Prompting System), a system that provides task support prompting to support independence for persons with cognitive disabilities and caregivers. MAPS consists of a handheld prompter and a multimedia editing tool for task script creation, storage, and modification. The need for ethnographic tool use is discussed and a short sub-set of the analysis results is presented.

متن کاملModelling and Compensation of uncertain time-delays in networked control systems with plant uncertainty using an Improved RMPC Method
Control systems with digital communication between sensors, controllers and actuators are called as Networked Control Systems (NCSs). In general, NCSs encounter with some problems such as packet dropouts and network induced delays. When plant uncertainty is added to the aforementioned problems, the design of the robust controller that is able to guarantee the stability, becomes more complex. In...
