Intuitive Use Of Products, A. Blackler, V. Popovic, D. Mahar Sep 2002

Intuitive Use Of Products, A. Blackler, V. Popovic, D. Mahar

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The term “intuitive use” has been widely used with respect to various products and systems but has not yet been adequately defined. Through an extensive literature review, it was concluded that intuition is a cognitive process that utilises knowledge gained through prior experience. Intuitive use of products involves utilising knowledge gained through other products or experience(s). Therefore, products that people use intuitively should be those with features they have encountered before. A set of experiments with a digital camera was conducted to test the thesis. The results of these experiments support the thesis. It was found that prior knowledge of …


An Indian Who Doesn’T Know How To Grow The Maize, S. Boess, D. Durling, C. Lebbon, C. Maggs Sep 2002

An Indian Who Doesn’T Know How To Grow The Maize, S. Boess, D. Durling, C. Lebbon, C. Maggs

DRS Biennial Conference Series

In user-centred design, a common ground that emerges is an orientation towards research into the needs and wishes of consumers. Hermeneutic phenomenology can be adopted by a designer to investigate her/his own activity and use of knowledge in designing. A reflection of this kind is presented here. It is based on design and research activities in the domain of product design, in which the realization of user-centred design was sought by means of preliminary user research, application of its results in design work, and evaluation of the outcomes through renewed user research. The outcome of the reflection is the formulation …


Generations In Design Methodology, J. Broadbent Sep 2002

Generations In Design Methodology, J. Broadbent

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The relationship between design and science is examined through the lens of design methodology. The purpose is to foresee the next generation of design methodology and its attributes. Four generations in design methodology are recognized – craft, design-by-drawing, hard systems methods and soft systems methods – and each is characterized in terms of its benefits and limitations in respect of design practice. To the extent that each new generation overlays the preceding one, a system of design methodologies is created which, being more inclusive of the real world, should be increasingly useful to design practice. The change process between generations …


Using Visual Communication Resource Shifts To Inform Cmc Design, C.-D. Chen, S. A. R. Scrivener, A. Woodcock Sep 2002

Using Visual Communication Resource Shifts To Inform Cmc Design, C.-D. Chen, S. A. R. Scrivener, A. Woodcock

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Talking about and with things is characteristic of design communication. In this paper we are concerned with how to design computer-mediated communication (CMC) systems that support such talk between designers separated by distance. We describe a design method based on Scrivener’s (2002) postulate that users in a communication environment satisfy communication purpose by selecting, from the resources available to them, that most appropriate for communication purpose. A method for enhancing the overall utility of a given CMC environment is described where analysis of the shifts between resources reveals insight into their relative strengths and weaknesses which is then used to …


Design Behaviours: The Innovation Advantage - The Multi-Faceted Role Of Design In Innovation, R. Cooper, A. Wootton, D. Hands, M. Economidou, M. Bruce, L. Daly, R. Harun Sep 2002

Design Behaviours: The Innovation Advantage - The Multi-Faceted Role Of Design In Innovation, R. Cooper, A. Wootton, D. Hands, M. Economidou, M. Bruce, L. Daly, R. Harun

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Design is a ‘good thing.’ “Use it well,” companies are often told, and you will reap the many rewards. But how exactly is design ‘used’ by the commercial organisation during NPD? As a complex activity that deals with at least as many intangible as tangible factors, how can design be constrained by any business process? And if businesses should adapt to gain more value from designers, in what ways should they change? Based on the results of Design Drivers, a three-year EPSRC-funded investigation, these are some of the questions that this paper seeks to answer. Examining the way in which …


Contract Research In Design, A. Crabbe Sep 2002

Contract Research In Design, A. Crabbe

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The present paper reconsiders some of the activities that properly constitute design research, by focusing on case studies of contract research carried out by the Design Contract Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University. A review of recent UK papers seeking to define the nature of design research suggests that a consensus is still some way off. Contract research, which is a professional research service undertaken for commissioning clients, poses further questions again, since a commercial service may amount to little more than jobbing work. The aims of this paper are to identify the characteristics of contract research in design through …


Early Car History – Investigation Of The Establishment Of A ‘Design Paradigm’, C. Dowlen Sep 2002

Early Car History – Investigation Of The Establishment Of A ‘Design Paradigm’, C. Dowlen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The early development of the car appears to have been a period of uncertainty, with a selection of component layouts being developed before manufacturers hit on a particular embodiment that became a definitive ‘car’. This paper investigates how car form and layout became what is termed a ‘Design Paradigm’ (Dowlen 1999) for the car, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Layout and form variables are investigated from 453 colour-slide examples over the whole period of the existence of the car. The results show that the layout is significant to the concept of a car, and shows that a …

Bivariate Current Status Data, Mark J. Van Der Laan, Nicholas P. Jewell Sep 2002

Bivariate Current Status Data, Mark J. Van Der Laan, Nicholas P. Jewell

U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

In many applications, it is often of interest to estimate a bivariate distribution of two survival random variables. Complete observation of such random variables is often incomplete. If one only observes whether or not each of the individual survival times exceeds a common observed monitoring time C, then the data structure is referred to as bivariate current status data (Wang and Ding, 2000). For such data, we show that the identifiable part of the joint distribution is represented by three univariate cumulative distribution functions, namely the two marginal cumulative distribution functions, and the bivariate cumulative distribution function evaluated on the …

Ddasaccident463, Hd-Aid

Global CWD Repository

Details of this accident have been withheld by the demining NGO that employed the Victim. A spreadsheet including the Victim’s name and very brief details of the accident was made available in 2007. Some details can be inferred from the information released. For example, the injury implies that the victim’s visor was not being worn in the correct manner, and the loss of one eye and severe injury to the other implies a severe facial injury.
