Adding User Experience Into The Interactive Service Design Loop: A Persona-Based Approach, Djilali Idoughi, Ahmed Seffah, Christophe Kolski
Professor Djilali IDOUGHI
Approaches to service design share HCI's commitment to developing with and for people useful, usable and accessible services. However, there has been little explicit interaction between the emerging service sciences and the interaction design communities. This paper explores HCI's actual position and opportunities to service design and requirements and vice versa. We propose a design framework for service oriented interactive systems integrating the concept of persona. This enables to extract relevant elements towards deriving the design of the main functionalities of the user interface. This framework is applied to a case study of the e-maintenance of an agro-alimentary group.

User Experience In Service Design: Defining A Common Ground From Different Fields, Karim Touloum, Djilali Idoughi, Ahmed Seffah
Professor Djilali IDOUGHI
The emerging field of service design combines several methods mainly from the fields of product, software and interaction design, for designing the experience and interface to services. However, User eXperience design is not easy to understand because it is a new approach and covers many different fields (usability, psychology, marketing…). More often the design team members come from various domains with different cultural backgrounds such as engineers and marketing. Therefore, it is necessary to have a common definition to share the same understanding of this concept. In this paper, we investigate the main definitions proposed in the literature and the …

Professor Djilali IDOUGHI
The needs for re-adaptable presentations of supervision information are more necessary in the context-awareness environment whose environmental characteristics change frequently and the control data must be updated regularly into the Graphic User Interface (GUI), in order to provide efficiently to operators an accurate picture of the state of the system being supervised. The re-adaptation of GUI is necessary following each considerable changes in the context of use or in the measured data. We will suggest, in this paper, an approach that allows to generate GUI (in other word plastic GUI) capable to adapt dynamically at runtime to changeable context of …

Towards Web Services Oriented Unified Supervisory Hci, Djilali Idoughi, Christophe Kolski
Professor Djilali IDOUGHI
A lot of work & research has been done in HCI supervision-type industrial context, but mostly relative to control rooms and local supervision. However, many multi-site or extended and complex organisations are faced with some new challenges and trends such as supervisory systems integration and unified access of the different actors which have not been much considered so far. A service oriented solution is outlined and explained in the context of industrial supervision oriented towards to a unified and integrated supervisory HCI design. A representative supervisory scenario taken from a real case study which illustrates the approach is then described.
