Are the Joint Operational Planning Process (JOPP) and the Military Decision Making Process (MDMP) unable to address the growing complexities of modern, ill-structured conflict? Does the U.S. Army‟s design methodology provide the military institution a more effective structure, format, vocabulary, and process that are understandable to the force and applicable? Many military professionals charge...

The bizarre physical properties of rubber balls with extreme coefficients of resitution are well known. In this paper, we propose a novel interaction techinque based around the unpredictable rebounds of the balls. A situated game “Scunnerball” is developed via a user-centered design process. We show a number of studies identifying optimal layouts for Scunnerball games, and demonstrate empirical...

Mass Customization technologies are increasingly becoming social and allow for interindividual exchange processes such as community-based configuration systems online. But while companies foster community interactions and open their configuration systems, it is not clear (1.) how virtual interactions influence individuals' subjective product satisfaction, since their final decision may not be b...

This paper argues that the role of Computer Aided Design (CAD) should be to enhance and extend paper-based working, rather than to replace it. Current CAD tools are little used in the early stages of designing. Paper is heavily used, with its physical properties supporting work practices that are not possible with CAD. This paper presents implications for the design of new computer-based tools ...
