Responsible Digital Service Ecosystem Design: Concept And Framework, Kentaro Watanabe
ServDes Conference Series
Rapid advancements in digital technologies profoundly influence lifestyles, norms, cultures, and society through digital services. To address concerns regarding their negative impacts, service ecosystem design offers a promising approach for managing and adapting institutional arrangements (i.e., rules, norms, and cultures) necessary for such services. However, few studies have examined socially responsible design principles and practices in digital service ecosystems. To bridge this gap, this study introduces the concept of responsible digital service ecosystem design (REDSED). By integrating the responsible innovation approach, it presents a conceptual framework for the REDSED process for managing institutional arrangements. The proposed concept and framework support …

Exploring Service Rituals For At-Work Recovery Toward Healthcare Worker Wellbeing, Ted Matthews, Kajal Khanna
ServDes Conference Series
Service design has increased its attention on healthcare services in both research and practice. Despite the promise of considering the wellbeing of all actors involved in these services, it is very much the patient that is ‘focal actor’, with healthcare workers (HCWs) often being marginalised in these processes. Concurrently, diminished wellbeing of HCWs is leading to burnout and in turn medical errors that seriously impact patients and the healthcare service system. This paper reports on explorative, transdisciplinary design research that makes the HCWs the focal actor of the process and looks to design service rituals as an approach to at-work …

What Can Design Do For Social Impact Measurement? Bridging Evaluation And Creative Practice, Beatriz Bonilla Berrocal, Annalinda De Rosa, Valentina Auricchio
ServDes Conference Series
Impact measurement has traditionally been shaped by disciplines such as economics and management, relying on structured methodologies that prioritize quantitative indicators like ROI, cost-benefit analysis, and performance metrics. While these approaches provide valuable insights, they often fail to capture the more nuanced, systemic, and social dimensions of impact. Within design, impact measurement remains fragmented, service design has established structured evaluation methods mainly focused on business value, UX/UI, graphic and product design assess product and market performance, while other design fields engage with impact in an ad hoc manner. However, there is no unified approach that systematically measures social impact from …

Structural Coupling As A Strategy For Achieving Stakeholder Co-Benefits: A Case Of Public Service Design In Shanghai Community Childcare, Yuqing Wang, Wanqiang Li, Fei Hu
ServDes Conference Series
Stakeholder co-benefits are critical in public service design, yet existing tools lack systemic capacity to articulate multi-stakeholder values and resources. To address this, the study responds to public service design complexity by leveraging structural coupling theory to identify actionable co-benefit opportunities. Grounded in this theory, it proposes a three-phase service innovation framework—Structural Coupling Status (CS), Structural Coupling Gap (CG), and Structural Coupling Opportunity (CO)—as a design tool that integrates diverse stakeholders’ motivations, activities, and rights/responsibilities (M.A.R.) into a reciprocal analytical structure. Validated through a case study on Shanghai’s public childcare services, the framework identifies coupling mismatches and enhances resource integration …

A Method For Optimizing Specification-Based Regression Test Suites By Analyzing Low-Level Specification Coverage, Hp Inc
Defensive Publications Series
This disclosure describes a method for optimizing specification-based regression test suites by analyzing low-level specification elements. In printer testing, regression test suites often contain thousands of print files across multiple file types, each governed by formal specifications (e.g., operators, keys, attributes, values, names). The disclosed method correlates test file content with specification elements to measure coverage, identify redundancies, and generate a minimal optimized set of tests. The approach reduces test suite size, uncovers coverage gaps, and improves release quality through efficient resource utilization and shorter test cycles.
