Book excerpt: Scientific Essay from the year 2004 in the subject Ergonomics, , language: English, abstract: Dieser Artikel spricht die neuen Herausforderungen für die Ergonomie an, welche durch die schnelle technologische Entwicklung entstehen. Wir können beobachten, wie durch die zunehmende Bedeutung von Software eine Verlagerung des Forschungsschwerpunktes in der Ergonomieforschung von hard factors zu soft factors stattfindet. Infolgedessen scheint die Softwareergonomie die nächste Hürde in der Ergonomieforschung zu sein. Ergonomische Gestaltung im Informationszeitalter stellt andere Herausforderungen als einen Computer nur benutzbar zu machen. Die technologische Entwicklung involviert Herausforderungen bezüglich der Implementierung von Usability durch die Ausnutzung der neuen technischen Möglichkeiten, z.B. durch die Entwicklung von neuen, benutzergerechten Methoden für Zusammenarbeit (z.B. distributed computer supported work), ermöglichen von neuen Interaktionsformen (z.B. basierend auf Gesten) und neue kognitive und emotionale Modelle für die Mensch-Maschinen Interaktion (z.B. emotional computing). Um die neuen Gelegenheiten wahrnehmen zu können, welche die technologische Entwicklung bietet, schlagen wir neue Forschung und Entwicklungen vor, die den folgenden vier Prinzipen und dem Denken der Softwareergonomie folgt. Rapid technological development results in new challenges for the ergonomics field. The technological development involves new challenges concerning the implementation of usability by exploiting the new technical possibilities, e.g. by developing new user-centered aims for methods of work, enabling new forms of interaction, and developing new cognitive and emotional models for human computer interaction (HCI). We suggest four guiding principles for further research and development in the field of software ergonomics: 1. The priorities for software ergonomics research need to be re-formulated 2. Knowledge & models for applied perception and information processing need continuous re-evaluation 3. A shift from technology driven to human factors driven HCI design is due 4. New methods for measurement of usability are necessary. This paper gives an overview over the actual challenges and possibilities for software ergonomics given by new technological development. Four suggested guiding principles for research propose actual priorities and offer applied examples of new forms of interaction.

Download or read book Microelectronics Education written by B. Courtois and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third edition of the European Workshop on Microelectronics Education (EWME). A steady-state regime has now been reached. An international community of university teachers is constituted; they exchange their experience and their pedagogical tools. They discuss the best ways to transfer the rapidly changing techniques to their students, and to introduce them to the new physical and mathematical concepts and models for the innovative techniques, devices, circuits and design methods. The number of abstracts submitted to EWME 2000 (about one hundred) enabled the scientific committee to proceed to a clear selection. EWME is a European meeting. Indeed, authors from 20 different European countries contribute to this volume. Nevertheless, the participation of authors from Brazil, Canada, China, New Zealand, and USA, shows that the workshop gradually attains an international dimension. th The 20 century can be characterized as the "century of electron". The electron, as an elementary particle, was discovered by J.J. Thomson in 1897, and was rapidly used to transfer energy and information. Thanks to electron, universe and micro-cosmos could be explored. Electron became the omnipotent and omnipresent, almost immaterial, angel of our W orId. This was made possible thanks to electronics and, for the last 30 years, to microelectronics. Microelectronics not only modified and even radically transformed the industrial and the every-day landscapes, but it also led to the so-called "information revolution" with which begins the 21 st century.

Download or read book The Cognitive Artifacts of Designing written by Willemien Visser and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2006-08-08 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this dynamic review and synthesis of empirical research and theoretical discussion of design as cognitive activity, Willemien Visser reconciles and integrates the classical view of design, as conceptualized by Herbert Simon's symbolic information processing approach, with modern views of design such as the situativity approach, as formulated by Donald Schon. The author goes on to develop her own view on design, in which design is most appropriately characterized as a construction of representations. She lays the groundwork for the integration of design research and cognitive science. This seemingly simple framework has implications that set the stage for this mutually beneficial integration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a detailed update on the applications of Serious Games in Healthcare and Education sector. In short, it provides an all rounded research and industry updates about the current and future advances in this area. These are the two sectors that are developing rapidly with direct applications of serious games. With advances in technologies and a new perspective on patient engagement and public expectations, the healthcare sector is increasingly turning to serious games to solve problems. Subconscious Learning via Games and Social Media will share expert opinions on the development and application of game technologies for health-related serious games. Our commercial and non-commercial expert comes from different aspects of the healthcare system from clinicians to therapist. The scope ranges from population health to specific medical domain applications. In the education sector, digital games have a great potential to improve learning of both adults and children. It is important to understand how to design games that could create long term behavioral change rather than short term alterations. In these chapters, we discuss how the serious games should be designed and deployed for both adults and children.

Download or read book Simulation Based Experiential Learning written by Douglas M. Towne and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October of 1992 an assembly of researchers in simulation and computer models for instruction convened in Bonas, France, to learn from one another in a non-automated environment. The event was the Advanced Research Workshop entitled The Use of Computer Models for Explication, Analysis, and Experiential Learning. Sponsored by the Scientific Affairs Division of NATO, this workshop brought together 29 leading experts in the field loosely described as instruction and learning in simulation environments. The three-day workshop was organized in a manner to maximize exchange of knowledge, of beliefs, and of issues. The participants came from six countries with experiences to share, with opinions to voice, and with questions to explore. Starting some weeks prior to the workshop, the exchange included presentation of the scientific papers, discussions immediately following each presentation, and informal discussions outside the scheduled meeting times. Naturally, the character and content of the workshop was determined by the backgrounds and interests of the participants. One objective in drawing together these particular specialists was to achieve a congress with coherent diversity, i.e., we sought individuals who could view an emerging area from different perspectives yet had produced work of interest to many. Major topic areas included theories of instruction being developed or tested, use of multiple domain models to enhance understanding, experiential learning environments, modelling diagnostic environments, tools for authoring complex models, and case studies from industry.

Download or read book Ing nierie du transport et des services de mobilit avanc s written by HAMMADI Slim and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2012-06-07 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le choix du mode de déplacement (voiture privée, transport en commun, vélo, marche) est souvent contraint par son accessibilité, son coût ou la qualité du service proposé. Or, à ce jour, la voiture reste le moyen de transport privilégié. Dans le cadre de la mobilité durable, le rôle de l'information des voyageurs devient crucial. Il est nécessaire de promouvoir l'utilisation rationnelle et pertinente du meilleur mode de transport pour un déplacement donné. Cette information multimodale, qui met en avant l'offre de mobilité sur un territoire donné, fait souvent défaut ou est difficilement disponible. Des projets ont ainsi été initiés qui, à l'instar du CISIT en Nord Pas de Calais, tentent de concrétiser des idées novatrices alliant l'intelligence aux transports. Ingénierie du transport et des services de mobilité avancés présente un état de l'art de l'ensemble des techniques, approches et méthodes pour la spécification, la conception, l'optimisation et la mise en oeuvre des services de mobilité avancés.
