Abstract:
The human user is important to consider during system design. However, common system design models, such as the system modeling language, typically represent human users and operators as external actors, rather than as internal to the system. This research presents a method for integrating human considerations into system models through human-centered design. A specific system is selected to serve as the case study for demonstrating the methodology. The sample system is analyzed to identify the task and information flow. Then, both system- and human-centered diagrams are separately created to represent different viewpoints of the system. These diagrams are compared and analyzed, and new diagrams are created that incorporate both system and human considerations into one concordant representation of the system model. These new views allow systems engineers and human factors engineers to effectively communicate the role of the user during early system design trades.

Abstract:
A number of challenges hinder the development of systems that support users in the conduct of their work. Challenges include the widespread use and acceptance of design methods that are system-centered rather than work-centered; the time required to develop a work-centered system design; the imprecise nature of translating work domain analysis results into a work-centered design; and unsatisfactory means for coordinating design and design-implementation processes. The Work-centered Infomediary Layer (WIL) design model and method have been developed to address challenges such as these and to facilitate work-centered design in general. In this paper, we describe the application of WIL to the design of a work-centered support system for defensive counterspace (DCS) operators. The design model and method are presented, followed by a description of the resulting system design and ways in which it was shaped and defined through use of the WIL method.

Abstract:
This article aims to revisit and to adapt the Norman's theory of action by focusing on the design of interactive systems for disabled people. The background section demonstrates that there is a need to include all the stakeholders involved in the environment of the disabled person in the design process, constituting his or her ecosystem. Then the adaptation of the Norman's theory action, considering explicitly the ecosystem is justified; examples of the both role of the disabled people and members of his/her ecosystem are given for the seven components of Norman's model. Two cases studies are after presented to illustrate the crucial role of the ecosystem in case of assistive interactive system design. The benefits of taking into account the ecosystem in the design of interactive systems for disabled persons are discussed. The article ends with a conclusion and research perspectives.

Abstract:
A series of user-centered design methods were applied during the development of an ultrasound system. The methods included hospital site visits, interviews with sonographers, videotapes of examinations and usability testing with simulations of the console and displays. Based on user feedback and preferences, over one-hundred design changes were made to both the console and control panel. The resulting system accommodates users through an adjustable control panel and display monitor. In addition, the control panel and corresponding operator interface software reflects frequency-of-use and sequencing-of-use of functions, leading to more efficient interaction with the system.

Abstract:
Hur kan ett leveransskåp-system designas för att vara attraktivt och användbart för dess användare? Och hur kan användare involveras i denna process under en global pandemi? Detta projekt ämnar att svara på dessa frågor samt utveckla ett hållbart skåpsystem som skyddar paket som levereras i Stockholms skärgård från värme, tjuvar, och rådande väderförhållanden, men som också är anpassat till dess användare och kontext. Användarna är i detta fall Skärgårda, ett företag som kör ut paket med båt i skärgården, samt deras kunder, som beställer paketen, vilka kan innehålla vad som helst från sneakers till matvaror. För att genomföra detta projekt har en användarcentrerad designprocess använts. Denna process har innehållit metoder för kontextundersökning, idégenerering, utveckling, samt tester. Ett teoretiskt ramverk har också använts för att vetenskapligt grunda arbetet. Detta ramverk tog upp ämnerna teknisk design, användarcentrerad design, design thinking, ergonomi, estetiska principer, Stockholms skärgård, hållbarhet, samt material. Resultatet var ett koncept för ett system av leveransskåp, som har mervärdet att även fungera som bänkar, vilket var det mest attraktiva konceptet av fyra, enligt kunderna. Denna bänk kan öppnas genom dess lucka, bestående av sitsen, ryggstödet och frontpartiet, för att komma åt ett isolerat förvaringsutrymme för kollin på insidan. Bänken har en låslösning som tillåter Skärgårda att använda en huvudnyckel till alla skåp, medan kunden kan fästa ett hänglås om hen vill. Sitsen är dimensionerad efter de 5e till 95e percentilerna av svenskar och interaktionen med bänken har efter en iteration anpassats ergonomiskt för att medföra så liten belastning på Skärgårdas bud som möjligt. Bänken kan fästas i de olika underlag som är vanliga längs kusterna i stockholms skärgård. Dessa inkluderar sten, sand, jord, samt bryggor i trä. En diskussion som dykt upp är däremot om denna fixtur verkligen är nödvändig, eftersom bänk-konceptet har en stor kontaktyta mot marken samt låg tyngdpunkt. Slutsatser som funnits var att något mervärde, att den smälter in i omgivningen, samt att den är fri från krångel verkade göra skåpet mer attraktivt och användbart för kunderna, samt att användare kunde involveras i designprocessen genom distansworkshops, enkäter, telefonintervjuer, eller genom representanter på plats, vilka då spelar rollen av användargruppen. Det kunde också konkluderas att det designade skåpet var anpassat till dess användare och kontext, kunde ses som hållbart, och mest troligt skyddar från värme, tjuvar, och väderförhållanden, men att detta skulle behöva testas vidare för att verifiera.

Abstract:
This master thesis is carried out in the field of “Human-Computer interaction”, more specifically the area “User-centered system design”. The focus has been on “usability” and useful graphical user interfaces. Current theories and definitions in the field have been considered. Literature studies contain well known authors and organisations in domains mentioned above; Jakob Nielsen, Donald A Norman and International Organization for Standardization ISO to mention some.  Another source for this work from which the theories and way of working have been used is the book “User-Centered System Design” written by Jan Gulliksen and Bengt Göransson.  The work started with a literature study followed by looking at methods to use. The next step was to do task and user analysis which followed by the development phase. The user has been given a central role in this project and, just as recommended, also been involved through the whole cycle. A useful method to get feedback from users, in addition to interviews and workshops, has been the “Heuristic Evaluation”.  The final result and conclusion shows that the user-centered system design is a powerful tool to adapt when designing and developing interactive user interface.
Detta examensarbete har utförts inom området för ”Människa-Datorinteraktion” mer specifikt ”Användarcentrerad Systemdesign”. Fokus har varit på ”användbarhet” och användbart grafiskt användargränssnitt. Aktuella teorier och definitioner har iakttagits. Litteraturstudien har omfattat välkända författare och organisationer i ovannämnda domäner; Jakob Nielsen, Donald A Norman och Internationella standardiseringsorganisationen ISO för att nämna några.  En annan källa vars teorier och arbetssätt har tillämpats i detta arbete är boken ”Användarcentrerad Systemdesign” av författarna Jan Gulliksen och Bengt Göransson.  Arbetet började med en litteraturstudie följd av val av lämplig metod. Nästa steg innebar att utföra uppgifts- och användaranalyser och därefter var det dags för utvecklingsfasen. Användaren har  haft en  central  roll  i  detta  projekt  och har,  precis  som  rekommenderat, involverats i samtliga  moment. En lämplig och nyttig metod för att få återkoppling från användarna, förutom intervjuer och workshop, har varit ”Heuristisk Utvärdering”.  Det slutliga resultatet och slutsatsen visar att användarcentrerad systemdesign är ett kraftfullt verktyg att nyttja när det kommer till design och utveckling av interaktivt användargränssnitt.

Abstract:
This master thesis project in industrial design engineering at Luleå University of Technology was about developing a portable light box for Spennare. The work was done under the supervision of the design engineering studio Catino in Stockholm during the spring of 2020. The background for the project was that Spennare today has a large selection of display system products that companies can use to promote themselves, such as roll-up screens and pop-up walls. But a product they does not have in their range is a portable lightbox. A portable lightbox differs from roll-ups and similar products in the way that the message that is conveyed becomes backlit, since the lightbox contains LED lights. This differentiates  the lightbox amongst other similar products and the message is conveyed in a clearer and more prominent way than with a roll-up which is not backlit. The work has followed a user-centered design process that has followed a framework called Double Diamond developed by the Design Council (Design Council, n.d.). The framework consists of four phases: discover, define, develop and deliver. The purpose of the process was to first create an understanding of what the problem was, and then to concretize it into some well-formulated problems and needs that needed to be solved and fulfilled. Then ideas for solutions to these problems would be generated, ideas that could then be refined and evaluated until final solution were reached. Methods used during the process was benchmarking, interviews, observations and tests to identify the problem. Then, among other things, different brainstorming methods have been used during both creative workshops but also throughout the process of generating ideas. In order to test and evaluate different ideas, prototypes have been built in different stages during the process. The final result was compiled in a cad model. In the initial phase of the processes, when an understanding of the problem was developed, showed that many of the existing lightboxes consist of many different parts that the user must assemble themselves, which puts great demands on the user. Interviews with users showed that they wanted products that are as simple as possible to assemble. Interviews with people who had experience with lightboxes stated that plastic lightboxes are not an option as they are of quality worse than dittos in aluminium. Tests also showed that plastic lightboxes had flaws in the mounting process and the end result became unstable. Based on these insights, a large number of different ideas were generated that solved these problems. These ideas were iterated and narrowed down to four different concepts. These concepts were evaluated against requirements and goals set at the beginning of the process. After the evaluation, one concept remained, which was then developed further with the help of prototypes and detail sketches. The end result was a lightbox which is an improvement in the way that it requires significantly fewer steps to mount the lightbox. The number of parts is the same but these are connected with joints and this makes the lightbox consist of only two modules. It can be argued that in order for the end result to be as good as possible, more tests should have been done. But due to the situation that was the spring of 2020 with the Covid-19 pandemic, it was not possible to conduct more tests. More prototypes had also had to be made to ensure that the design worked as intended. Likewise to evaluate the shape of the lightbox, which is currently only designed with the help of 2D sketches and 3D digital models. So to ensure that the shape not negatively affect the function, prototypes of higher quality and with the correct shape have to be made and evaluated. However, it can be concluded that the lightbox designed is an improvement of what exists on the market today. It has better usability and does not require as much of the user when installing the lightbox.
Den här masteruppsatsen för civilingenjör teknisk design på Luleå tekniska universitet gick ut på att utveckla en portabel ljuslåda för Spennare. Arbetet gjordes under handledning av designingenjörsstudion Catino i Stockholm under våren 2020.  Bakgrunden till arbetet är att Spennare idag har ett stort utbud av produkter som företag kan använda sig av för att marknadsföra sig själva, så som roll-ups och pop-up-väggar. Men en produkt som de saknar i sitt eget utbud är en portabel ljuslåda. En portabel ljuslåda skiljer sig från roll-ups och liknande produkter på så sätt att motivet som förmedlas blir bakgrundsbelyst då ljuslådan innehåller ledlister. Detta gör att den särskiljer sig från mängden och budskapet förmedlas på ett tydligare och mer framstående sätt än på en roll-up som ej är belyst.  Arbetet har följt en användarcentrerad designprocess som har följt ett ramverks som heter Double Diamond och som är framtaget av Design Council (Design Council, n.d.). Ramverket består av fyra stycken faser: discover, define, develop samt deliver. Syftet var att först skapa sig en förståelse för vad problemet var, för att sedan konkretisera det till några väl formulerade problem som behövde lösas. Sedan skulle idéer på lösningar för dessa problem genereras, idéer som sedan kunde förfinas och utvärderas för att slutligen komma fram till en slutlig lösning. Metoder som använts under processen är benchmark, intervjuer, observationer samt tester för att identifiera problemet. Sedan har bland annat olika brainstormingmetoder används under både under kreativa workshops men också genomgående under processen för att generera idéer. För att testa och utvärdera olika idéer har prototyper byggts i olika steg under processens gång. Det slutliga resultatet sammanställdes i en cad-model. Den inledande fasen som gick ut på att skapa sig en förståelse för problemet visade att många av nu existerande ljuslådor består av många olika delar som användaren själv måste montera ihop vilket ställer stora krav på användaren. Intervjuer med användare visade att dessa ville ha produkter som är så enkla som möjligt att montera ihop. Intervjuer med folk som hade erfarenhet av ljuslådor fastslog att ljuslådor i plast inte är ett alternativ då de är kvalitetsmässigt sämre än diton i aluminium. Test visade också att ljuslådor i plast hade brister i montering och slutresultatet blev ostabilt. Baserat på detta generades ett stort antal olika idéer som löste dessa problem. Dessa idéer itererades och smalnades ner till fyra stycken olika koncept. Dessa koncepten utvärderads mot krav och mål som satts upp i början av processen. Efter utvärderingen var ett koncept kvar som sedan utvecklades med hjälp av prototyper och detaljskisser. Slutresultatet blev en ljuslåda som är en förbättring på så sätt att den kräver betydligt färre steg från användaren när denne ska montera den. Antalet delat är det samma men dessa sitter ihop med leder och det gör att ljuslådan endast består av två stycken moduler.  Det kan argumenteras att för att slutresultatet skulle blivit så bra som möjligt så skulle fler tester behövts göras. Men på grund av den situation som rådde under våren 2020 med Covid-19 pandemin så var det inte möjligt att genomföra fler tester än vad som gjordes. Fler prototyper hade också behövts göras för att säkerställa att konstruktionen fungerade som det var tänkt. Likaså för att utvärdera formen på ljuslådan, vilken just nu endast är designad i 2D och i 3D-digitalt. Så för att säkerställa att formen inte påverkade funktionen negativt hade prototyper med högre kvalitet och bättre form behövts göras och utvärderas. Slutsatser kan ändå dras att den ljuslåda som designats är en förbättring av vad som finns på marknaden idag. Den har bättre användbarhet och kräver inte lika mycket av användaren när denne ska montera ljuslådan.

Abstract:
Thesis (MTech (Design))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2015.
This research is based on how an understanding of place can facilitate designing Product Service Systems (PSS) in an urban environment structured by complex social divisions. Predominantly grounded in Participatory Design (PD), the study investigates how certain methodologies within the field are appropriate, and to what level that they are effective when used in a majority-world context. PD has produced successful projects when used in minority-world contexts, however, if the basis of the field – that of co-designers and the synthesised work effort from all stakeholders – is brought into an environment that has extreme social divisions, there is a definitive abstraction of design-orientated social engagement. The project research began in Malmö, Sweden, with the first of three case studies. In this context, PSS and PD were used as a paradigm to engage businesses and people in a specific area in a project referred to as Linjen (‘The Line’). The main purpose of the project was to stimulate the public’s interest in the area and to investigate the potential for connecting local businesses in an effort to propagate constructive communication. This section serves as a baseline framework for minority-world PD projects. The second study of the project was conducted in Cape Town, South Africa, and from the resultant implications a revised approach emerged. This reappraised angle proved far more interesting and relevant: it now aimed to take the PD methodologies of a minority-world project and explore what challenges were encountered when PD approaches were implemented across a socially complex environment. The third and final case study involved prototyping a waste collection trolley as a participatory aid for engaging stakeholders as codesigners. The case studies are presented here to describe the dichotomy of PD practice between contexts or place. A recurring theme of this research area is that of ‘perceived’ distance and roles between co-designers, and specifically that of the researcher and the stakeholders. This thesis concludes by presenting a lens – an amalgamation of experiences, prototypes and research outcomes – through which designers could work when involved in PD projects. The conclusion includes the following research tools: planning casual encounters, valuebased interactions, design ownership and human proxy. These tools present useful and insightful ways in which designers can minimise the perceived distance between themselves and their co-designers, ultimately developing a reflective and mindful design practitioner and engaged participants.

Abstract:
The student office and student counselors of Uppsala University's IT Department need a new application for organizing and coordinating student cases. The aim of this thesis is to define a specification for a new system. A user-centered design (UCD) approach is taken to ensure that the new application will increase productivity, is usable, and is accepted by the people that will work with it. The employed UCD process is a custom adaptation of the ISO 9241-210 standar's UCD process proposal. Following the activity cycle of the ISO standard for user-centered design, this specification will understand and specify the context of use, specify the user and organizational requirements, and produce design solutions that are evaluated against the requirements.

The goal of this thesis is to better understand the design practice employed by the desalination industry from a systems-level viewpoint and offer recommendations to improve the process of design. A human-centered design research approach is used, in which industry practitioners were interviewed about the design strategies they employ for industrial desalination systems. A common theme from the interviews is that long term performance of desalination systems needs to be emphasized during the design process. Based on this observation, a novel design framework is proposed that incorporates health monitoring and maintenance in the design stage. The proposed framework is shown to make the design process more effective and can result in more optimal design over the lifecycle of a plant. The interviews also suggest open questions about how designers use computational tools for the design of desalination system. An investigation of how designers respond to the complexity of desalination parameter design problems was conducted. The behavior of designers during a series of simulated design processes involving seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) plants was observed. The experiments revealed that desalination knowledge seemed to lead to better performance, but the results also showed that subjects with limited desalination knowledge could perform worse than subjects with no desalination knowledge. It was also observed that human designers had difficulties understanding the sensitivity of coupled variables, which can lead to poor performance on parameter design problems. Additionally, the top-performance-ranked subjects were observed to behavior very differently from the bottom-ranked. The problem-solving profiles of best performing subjects resembled a well-tuned simulated annealing algorithm while the worst performing subjects used a pseudo random search strategy.

Declining soil health is a major problem in India, affecting nearly 120 million hectares of land constituting 37% of the total geographic area. Soil degradation poses a significant threat to India's food security, due to its negative impact on long-term crop yields, which are crucial for feeding a burgeoning population. Imbalanced fertilizer use, a negative consequence of the Green Revolution, is one of the primary causes of soil degradation and adversely impacts the environment, human health, and farm profitability. The problem can be addressed by adopting the principles of site-specific nutrient management (SSNM), which call for judicious use of fertilizer based on frequent soil testing. However, inadequate soil testing capacity and lack of access to information act as barriers to its adoption.
This project aims to facilitate adoption of SSNM by developing a point-of-use soil testing and nutrient management system, made up of two key components 1) an affordable, point-of-use sensor that enables on-farm soil testing and 2) a recommendation engine that provides actionable fertilizer advice through mobile phones. This thesis presents the design of the fertilizer recommendation engine, by answering the following research question: "How to implement actionable fertilizer recommendations, in order to maximize adoption by resource-constrained farmers?" In doing so, it represents the second phase of the project, building on the actionability framework laid by done by fellow researcher, Soumya Braganza. This thesis mainly focuses on the issues involved in the implementation of the recommendation engine, through a "user centered approach" adopting diverse methods such as stakeholder interviews and conjoint analysis.
In order to answer the question of customization, data from the conjoint study was analyzed, revealing the influence of farmers' behavioral factors on actionability. In order to realize the level of customization required, a Bayesian algorithm was proposed to generate recommendations suited to a farmer's behavior. Thereafter, lessons from field studies were consolidated into system requirements for the fertilizer recommendation engine, and methods were proposed to address them. Lastly, a layered architecture is presented to implement the desired features of the recommendation engine in an integrated manner.

Abstract:
In the U.S., the majority of construction companies are small companies with 10 or fewer employees (BLS, 2004). The fatality rate in the construction industry is high, indicating a need for implementing safety training to a greater extent. This research addresses two main goals: to make recommendations and design a safety training system for small construction companies, and to use Contextual Design to design the training system. Contextual Design was developed by Holtzblatt (Beyer and Holtzblatt, 1998) in an effort to address the challenge of designing new systems. Ethnographic in nature, the Contextual Design methodology requires field data collection, requirements analysis, model building, visioning and story boarding, and prototyping. A sample of 12 participants consisting of 7 tradespersons, 3 forepersons, and 2 owners/ managers, was selected for data collection. The data was analyzed based on the Contextual Design approach and a training system prototype was designed.

Abstract:
Computational Prototyping Environment (CPE) is a web-based portal designed to simplify running Department of Defense (DoD) modeling and simulation tools on the DoD Supercomputing Resource Center’s (DSRC) High Performance Computing (HPC) systems. The first of these tools to be deployed in the CPE is an application (app) to conduct parametric studies and view results using the CREATE-AV Helios CFD software. Initial capability includes hover (collective sweep) and forward flight (speed sweep) performance calculations. The CPE Helios app allows for job submission to a DSRC’s HPC system and for the viewing of results created by Helios, i.e., time series and volumetric data. Example data input and results viewing are presented. Planned future functionality is also outlined.
