A growing number of HCI models provide insights into humanand system-oriented aspects of design artefacts. Experience with modelling in practice suggests that the more difficult design problems are cross-disciplinary, and there is a need to be able to integrate both the results and the process of HCI modelling. This document reports on the techniques for integration that have been developed and...

This topic introduces the concept of Hot Swapping DC power buses and why hotswapping has become a mainstream requirement, particularly in the telecommunications industry. Several methods of implementing hot swap will be provided along with the pros and cons of each method. Finally, a hot swap design utilizing a Hot Swap Power Manager will be presented for a typical -48V telecom

HCI is a wide, varied, and complex field that covers a broad spectrum of research. We therefore believe that there is no simple answer to the question ‘what to study in HCI?’ To shed some light on it, however, we reflect on this question with the aid of data from past HCI conferences, present meta-analyses reports, and possible future research priorities. In our discussion, we argue that the cu...

HCI methods and tools are often used cross-culturally before being tested for appropriateness and validity. As new tools emerge, they must be cross-culturally validated to ensure that they work with all audiences, not just those in the country in which they were developed. This paper presents the validation of a technology acceptance model over nine culturally-diverse countries. The model valid...

I describe initial thoughts towards an ideological analysis of HCI, based on identifying the central role of modernist ideology in HCI research practice.

Over recent years, the study of games and players has become an established domain with HCI research. However, while a range of methods has been employed within this area, questions remain as to how to develop in-depth understandings of players and the contexts they play within. Drawing upon the social sciences, this paper proposes case studies as an additional methodology for player research. ...

In this paper the usefulness of the nth power law MOSFET model under Hot Carrier Injection (HCI) wearout has been experimentally demonstrated. In order to do that, three types of nFET transistors have been analyzed under different HCI conditions and the nth power law MOSFET model has been extracted for each sample. The results show that the model can reproduce the MOSFET behavior under HCI wear...

In this position paper we describe the research scope, past and recent results, engineering challenges and the promising approaches the authors are investigating in their work on psychophysiological signal analysis and classification applied to automatic affect recognition, HCI, artistic performance and emotion research.

In this paper, we suggest that contemporary transnational arrangements provide new challenges for the design researcher. In particular, questions of design-use relations become potentially even more politicized and complex as they enter a global stage. In HCI, we lack conceptual tools for understanding these complex webs of multi-sited technology use and design. We draw from ethnographic fieldw...
