Wearable sensors can enhance the relationship between professional downhill skiers and their trainers by revealing information about the athlete's motions--such as force, rotation, or acceleration--that are difficult or impossible for the trainer to ...

Using role play at every stage of the design process has been a vital tool for IDEO in working with clients and users. With the dual properties of bringing participants into the moment and making shared activities physical rather than just mental, role ...

A challenge to individuals with cognitive impairments in wayfinding is how to remain oriented, recall routines, and travel in unfamiliar areas in a way relying on limited cognitive capacity. According to psychological model of spatial navigation and ...

Nowadays, the development of computer technology has several improvements, not only in popularity but also in complexity. Some engineers apply Virtual Prototyping to get the greatest advantage of prototype at the development life cycle. Basically, the ...

One of the major problems in developing new computer applications is specifying the user's requirements such that the Requirements Specification is correct, complete and unambiguous. Although prototyping is often considered too expensive, correcting ...

In current web service discovery and subscription, consumers must pay too much time on manually selection and cannot easily benefit from the wide QoS spectrum brought by the proliferating services. In our approach, we introduce the service pool as a ...

Product quality is directly related to how well that product meets the customer’s needs and intents. Therefore, the ability to capture customer requirements correctly and succinctly is paramount. Unfortunately, within most software development ...

Squeeze is a multi-person, flexible and interactive furniture that allows for collective and playful exploration of the family history among co-located people in homes. It is designed to explore how we can use digital technology to create settings where ...

This panel brings together coaches to discuss all aspects of the practice - how to become a coach, choosing a coach, and describing what is to be an (in) effective coach. A coach watches, provides feedback, and suggests subtle direction. The coach may ...

This paper reports on a case study of redesigning a legacy application for the Web using the Ubiquitous Web Applications Design Framework with an extended version of its Transaction Design Model (UWAT+). Web application design methodologies hold the ...

This tutorial presents a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art techniques for eliciting, modeling, specifying, analyzing and documenting high-quality system requirements.

The Ergo Support System (ESS) is an engineering framework for experimentation and prototyping to support the application of formal methods to program development, ranging from program analysis and derivation to proof-theoretic approaches. The ESS is ...

There is a constant need for practical, efficient, and cost-effective software evolution techniques. We propose a novel evolution methodology that integrates the concepts of features, regression tests, and component-based software engineering (CBSE). ...

The User requirements of many web-based services are dynamically and continuously changing even during the service time itself. For that reason, web service companies always keep trying to satisfy users' needs from the market. Requirements elicitation, ...

This paper presents a framework for security requirements elicitation and analysis, based upon the construction of a context for the system, representation of security requirements as constraints, and satisfaction arguments for the requirements in the ...

In this paper, the works of theatrical performance practitioners are drawn upon to develop key points of conceptual convergence between the artistry of theatrical performance and the system of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) known as Goal-Directed design ...

The increasing complexity of modern wireless basebandsystems demands the use of rapid prototyping methodologiesto provide an early estimation of system functionalityand performance. In order to achieve an efficient hardwareemulation, the complete system ...

This paper investigates the adaptability of agile methodologies to software development standards laid down by ISO. On the basis of this analysis, guidelines are proposed for developing software in such a way that the development process conforms to ...
