Mitsunori MIKI Noriko OKADA Tomoyuki HIROYASU and Masato YOSHIMI (Received July 13, 2011) In this paper, we propose an office space design system using an Interactive Genetic Algorithm (IGA). The proposed system is for designing a preferable color scheme of individual workspace to suit users taste. The proposed system optimizes the color combination of a office partition, desk, and laptop compu...

In this paper, we show how a graphical interactive planner is used to support the design of specifications, for an office procedure system. In a first phase, a plan is designed reiying on a knowledge base which describes the given organization. This plan is represented as a modified Petri net and can be tested and revised using simulation. In the second phase, the plan is transformed automatica...

We present new UK research (1987-90) in the area of gender and office information systems design. Our paper will contribute to the CSCW debate in two areas. Methodology, where we use our case-study experiences to reflect upon the traditional computing approaches to office systems design. Secondly, participatory design, through our active involvement in the work-place we consider a gender perspe...

the aim of this research was to design and codify a development strategy for sport for all in kerman province. the statistical sample of this research consisted of 30 physical education professors of higher education institutes, physical education managers of academic board in sciences, research and technology ministry, physical education managers and experts, managers of sport clubs participat...

The paper presents a computer-based method for the multicriteria conceptual design of engineered artifacts. The proposed method involves genetic-based stochastic search, Pareto optimization, and color-filtered graphics. A multicriteria genetic algorithm broadly searches the governing body of design knowledge and identifies Pareto designs that are equal-rank optimal in the sense that each is not...

Energy efficiency in office buildings has been the center of attention for many researches. This special attention is due to highly energy consumption in this building type. Refinement of facade and building’s envelop is a good approach to reduce buildings energy requirements. Double skin facade concepts are commonly used to achieve that object. Although the concept is not new, there is a growi...

In this position paper we argue that we lack an adequate modeling approach for the design of modern, integrated information systems. Different technologies are available, but their integrated use leaves the designer with a gap between the global business process view and the local views of the information system applications. The global view concentrates on the business goals, while the local v...

Office automation requires controlled coordination between information management and collaborative problem solving. Often, this entails the cooperation of agents executing diverse tasks in an office environment. Designing cooperating agents for office automation, however, is non-trivial: issues such as agent heterogeneity, communication protocols, context sensitivity, task coordination, and co...
