Four approaches to interface design are considered: technology centered, user centered, control centered, and use centered (ecological). Each perspective provides unique insights into pieces of the interface design problem. However, it is argued that the ecological or use centered approach provides a more comprehensive framework within which the other three perspectives can play important suppo...

aims: although several studies have confirmed the validity and the strength of the student-centered approach and most training centeres have put it as the heading of their agenda, there are still problems in the method of implementation, increasing the need for further research to review the mode of implementation. in this regard, the present study has been conducted to investigate students’ an...

Change-of-shift report is the time when responsibility and accountability for the care of a patient is transferred from one nurse to another. The communication that ensues during this process is linked to both patient safety and continuity of care giving. While many nurses already recognize the value of bringing report to the patient’s bedside and have practiced in this manner, this remains rel...

User Interface Specification After the analysis of a task, URGenT specifies an abstract GUI, which requires the user to input her data items (user variables and user input problem variables) only once, and buffers them appropriately to deliver them to all screens that use them. This GUI also retrieves from the legacy interface the asked data items” and feeds them to the appropriate screens. So ...

The paper argues that the conventional methods for object oriented analysis and conceptual modeling suffer from lacks in requirements elicitation and validation by the end-user. Therefore, an intermediate level called ‘conceptual predesign’ is introduced between natural language requirements specification and conceptual design. The paper introduces the basic notions of a conceptual predesign mo...

Bilateral teleoperation provides human operators with the ability to manipulate and receive force feedback from distant objects. Teleoperation is applied in various areas such as space robotics, handling hazardous materials, and surgery. Using teleoperated robots in space exploration reduces costs of assembly, maintenance, and repair tasks, as well as the risk that accompanies extra vehicular a...

Product and process models are often regarded as a panacea to most problems of computer integrated construction (CIC). But the paradigm shift they are about to achieve is not imminent. Software supporting CIC relays on the definition of the conceptual building product and building process models which are, at least in a standardized form, delivered quite slowly. Working solutions to CIC may als...
