Context-Sensitive Design: Bridging Viewpoints For Human-Centered Design., Keiichi Sato Nov 2004

Context-Sensitive Design: Bridging Viewpoints For Human-Centered Design., Keiichi Sato

DRS Biennial Conference Series

As new technologies such as wireless networking and ubiquitous computing are implemented in various application areas, it enables to form seamless technological environments to support our work and daily life. While such technologies provide possibilities for developing new categories of products and systems, understanding contexts of use is becoming increasingly important to predict how new products can be accepted, understood, incorporated, used, and valued in people's lives. The term ‘context’ has been loosely defined and inconsistently used in design practice to represent various factors and conditions surrounding and influencing the use of the system. The performance of interactive systems is …

Meta-Design: Putting Owners Of Problems In Charge., Gerhard Fischer

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Meta-Design is a design methodology which has the potential to transform many application areas, including: system design (customization, personalization, tailorability, end-user development, open source and open systems, living systems); architectural design (underdesign, support for “unself-conscious culture of design”); teaching and learning (teachers as facilitator, learning communities, courses-as-seeds, self-directed learning, the emergent is a necessity); and, interactive art (collaboration, co-creation, put the tools rather than the object of design in the hands of users).

Mergers And Acquisitions Expert Available To Discuss Kmart, Sears Deal, Deidra Jackson

University of Mississippi News

The news that discount retailer Kmart Holding Corp. is combining with Sears, Roebuck & Co. in an $11-billion deal to create the nation's third largest retailer thundered through Wall Street today. But University of Mississippi marketing professor Chuck Ingene believes the new company, Sears Holdings Corp., won't survive because Kmart and Sears "have little in common."

The French Expatriate Assignment: Helping Accompanying Spouses To Adapt By Assuming The Role Of Anthropologist, Angela Marsha Williams Nov 2004

The French Expatriate Assignment: Helping Accompanying Spouses To Adapt By Assuming The Role Of Anthropologist, Angela Marsha Williams

Theses and Dissertations

A common practice of multinational companies is to temporarily transfer employees to international locations in order to exchange technology, launch new ventures, and facilitate communication within the company. To do this, multinational companies must make a number of decisions regarding their expatriate programs. Even though international companies would rather stay focused on the professional performance of their employees without having to "meddle" in personal and family affairs, recent research has shown that the adaptation of the accompanying spouse is one of the most critical factors in expatriate assignment success or failure. By studying the available literature on expatriate spouse adaptation, …

Developing Design Agencies' Competences: From Craftsmanship To Consulting., Anssi Tuulenmaki Nov 2004

Developing Design Agencies' Competences: From Craftsmanship To Consulting., Anssi Tuulenmaki

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper focuses on the relationship between design agencies and their clients. The paper aims to reveal how such relationships have developed towards higher levels of value creation. What kind of knowledge and processes are needed from agencies’ point of view in order to improve their service offerings? How could they move from limited execution role, i.e. craftsmanship, more towards the business development and business-consulting role? To address the topic we interviewed senior executives of six major Finnish design agencies, one international design agency and 23 of agencies’ present or potential clients. Interviews lasted 60-120 minutes each; all of them …


Bridging Cultures In Electronic Communication New Multiliteracy Models For Interaction Design., Patricia Search Nov 2004

Bridging Cultures In Electronic Communication New Multiliteracy Models For Interaction Design., Patricia Search

DRS Biennial Conference Series

In my research I am developing new multiliteracy models for computer interface design. These design models are derived from dynamic, time-based communication structures used in oral communication in Indigenous cultures. The research uses visual patterns to represent the changing semantic structures in an interactive information space where there are numerous networks of associations. These multiliteracy models integrate the semiotics of early oral cultures with the semiotics of modern electronic communication. They reflect pluralistic, aural-visual, community-based communication styles that differ from Western perspectives of temporal sequencing, logical analysis, and fixed hierarchies. For these reasons these designs have important implications for improving …


Embodied Interaction - Designing Beyond The Physical-Digital Divide., Pelle Ehn, Per Linde Nov 2004

Embodied Interaction - Designing Beyond The Physical-Digital Divide., Pelle Ehn, Per Linde

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The physical and digital worlds are wide apart. Each has its own design professionals: product designers and human-computer interaction experts. However, as computers are becoming ubiquitous, embedded in our everyday objects and environments and embodied in the way we experience them in our everyday lives, this divide becomes problematic. This dilemma is accentuated by the parallel threat of demassification, the potential loss of material and social properties when artefacts become digital. In this paper we argue for embodied interaction as a useful stance for designing beyond this physical-digital divide. This term has been coined by Paul Dourish in the phenomenological …


A Framework For The Visual Representation Of Spatial Information On The Web., Chun-Wen Chen, Manlai You, Sang-Chia Chiou Nov 2004

A Framework For The Visual Representation Of Spatial Information On The Web., Chun-Wen Chen, Manlai You, Sang-Chia Chiou

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Map is a natural way to represent spatial information. Nowadays it’s also very popular to get map service on the Web. Although such maps are mainly to provide information about places for people’s daily life, they may not be well designed to fulfill the functions. Most electronic maps on the Web, or so-called Web maps, follow the forms of traditional topographic maps, not like the pictorial maps in our daily life. For the limitation of screen resolution and file size on the web, it’s not even feasible to transfer large high-resolution illustration-like map to the Web. We would like to …


Models Of Design Intervention., Gisele Raulik Nov 2004

Models Of Design Intervention., Gisele Raulik

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The paper investigates National/Regional design initiatives and specifically those aimed at the small and medium business sector (SMEs)a. The role of such SME organisations is generally seen as critical to both economic and social development of their countries. The term ‘Design Intervention’ has been coined to express that area of ‘Design Initiative or Advisory Activity’, which actually delivers or acts as what we believe can be easily comprehended as a “bridge” between companies and design resources. The aim of this study is to understand how this bridge has been set up by various initiatives, what key issues are common faced, …
