Using product and system design to influence user behaviour offers potential for improving performance and reducing user error, yet little guidance is available at the concept generation stage for design teams briefed with influencing user behaviour. This article presents the Design with Intent Method, an innovation tool for designers working in this area, illustrated via application to an ever...

R. M. Needham mentioned a Personal Identification Number (PIN) management scheme for Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) transactions which provides enhanced privacy and the responsibility separation [10]. This scheme was described as a rough example which supports his idea on security research under the changing computing environment. Though it shows a new approach to the role separation between a ...

Technical systems are intuitively understood as rather different from organizations. Yet, this holds merely for their implementation. It appears to be very convenient to consider technical systems as ’automated’ social systems. The first results of a research project, investigating the benefits of this ’social stance’ towards technical systems, are reported upon in this paper. Two example techn...

The use of Automated Teller Machine (ATM) has become an important tool among commercial banks, customers of banks have come to depend on and trust the ATM conveniently meet their banking needs. Although the overwhelming advantages of ATM cannot be over-emphasized, its alarming fraud rate has become a bottleneck in it’s full adoption in Nigeria. This study examined the menace of ATM in the socie...

Recently, biometrics such as fingerprints, faces and irises recognition have been widely used in many applications including door access control, personal authentication for computers, internet banking, automatic teller machines and border-crossing controls. Finger vein recognition uses the unique patterns of finger veins to identify individuals at a high level of accuracy. This paper proposes ...

Fatigued bills have harmful influence on the daily operation of Automated Teller Machine(ATM). To make the classification of fatigued bills more efficient, the development of an automatic fatigued bill classification method is desirable. We propose a new method to estimate the fatigue level of bill from the feature-selected frequency band acoustic energy pattern of banking machines. By using a ...

In this paper, we propose an operational semantics for UML2SD (Unified Modeling Language 2 Sequence Diagrams) to its equivalent Büchi automaton. The objective of this paper is twofold; first we provide UML2SD with Büchi automaton formal semantics, and second we bridge the gap between theoretic studies to practical studies by improving model transformations. The approach is based on Algebraic gr...
