To provide some suggestions of hardware specifications to relevant people, such as developers and researchers, this paper proposes a “standard” smart phone by using the revised value of parameters, like mean and mode, which are based on the analysis of smart phone hardware parameter information database. It provides a good reference for the human-computer interaction designers at both the qualitative and quantitative level.

“…Early examples include distributed process control and error diagnosing in wastewater treatment plants (Nielsen and Søndergaard, 2000), and the use of mobile multimedia for telemedicine and early diagnosing in emergency ambulance services (van den Anker and Lichtveld, 2000). More recent examples include logistic vehicle management at automobile terminals (Rügge et al, 2009), vessel control within the fishing industry (Lumsden et al, 2008), and mobile technologies in hospital settings (Tang and Carpendale, 2008;Skov and Høegh, 2006;Bardram and Hansen, 2004). In order to avoid mistakes and accidents in such safety critical work domains, it is important to understand the state of the systems being operated.…”

Combining ethnography and object-orientation for mobile interaction design: Contextual richness and abstract models

There has been a lot of interest in ethnography within human-computer interaction over the last two decades, and its relevance within systems development is today beyond question. However, one of the challenges reported is that ethnography generates findings and knowledge with such contextual richness that it can be hard to transfer into system design. In the light of recent years' push for the use of ethnography within the area of mobile human-computer interaction, this challenge has resurfaced and is of renewed importance to the research field. In this article we describe an interdisciplinary combination of ethnography with a structured software engineering method supporting the transition from collected data to design and implementation. We explore this combination through two case studies of mobile system development for supporting distributed work activities within industrial process control. We show that when developing mobile systems ethnographic data is a highly valuable source of input for developing object-oriented models by providing contextual richness, and that in turn, objected-oriented analysis is a highly valuable method for working with ethnographic field data in systems development by supporting the creation of abstract models. Combining the two, we have a method where ethnographic field studies inform core system design.

“…This can be observed in public transport with for instance trains where ticket conductors print tickets and find schedules on a mobile device. In the medical domain, doctors can use mobile devices to retrieve real-time patient journal data [4], and mobile computing can be highly effective in logistics [5] and aircraft maintenance [6]. However the introduction of mobile work also introduces new challenge as new requirements may only emerge after deployment and use "in the wild" [7].…”

Using EUREQA for End-User UML Model Development through Design Patterns

This work presents the EUREQA approach for end-user development. The purpose of the tool is to narrow the cognitive gap between the end-user developer's mental model and the software model. The tool uses design patterns as building blocks allowing end-users to create UML class diagram models that capture their domain knowledge. The EUREQA tool hides from view the complexity of code thereby reducing the cognitive load on end-user developers. EUREQA makes non-functional quality issues a first-class concern allowing end-user developers to consider both functional and non-functional aspects of design alternatives. The tool uses visualization techniques to aid in non-functional quality assesment. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate and assess the opportunities and challenges of EUREQA. A qualitative, pilot evaluation of EUREQA shows that the visualization techniques work well, whereas there are issues with the abstraction gap between the visualization and class diagram.
