“…Implementation refers to questions about the techniques and components through which an artifact performs its function-the 'nuts and bolts' of how it actually works." [12] For role prototypes, using paper as the primary medium has its advantages. It is very natural and easily done to use sketches on paper in design work.…”

The dialogue between end-user and developer presents several challenges in requirements development. One issue is the gap between the conceptual models of end-users and formal specification/analysis models of developers. This paper presents a novel technique for the video analysis of scenarios, relating the use of video-based requirements to process models of software development. It uses a knowledge model-an RDF graph-based on a semiotic interpretation of film language, which allows mapping conceptual into formal models. It can be queried with RDQL, a query language for RDF. The technique has been implemented with a tool which lets the analyst annotate objects as well as spatial or temporal relationships in the video, to represent the conceptual model. The video can be arranged in a scenario graph effectively representing a multi-path video. It can be viewed in linear time order to facilitate the review of individual scenarios by end-users.Each multi-path scene from the conceptual model is mapped to a UML use case in the formal model. A UML sequence diagram can also be generated from the annotations, which shows the direct mapping of film language to UML. This sequence diagram can be edited by the analyst, refining the conceptual model to reflect deeper understanding of the application domain.The use of the Software Cinema technique is demonstrated with several prototypical applications. One example is a loan application scenario for a financial services consulting firm which acted as an end-user.

In contrast to such previous work, this project does not use prototyping as a step toward implementing a functioning computational device or system.…”

“…These conversations go beyond the look-and-feel (cf. Houde & Hill, 1997) to consider broader sociocultural ramifications. Although actually implementing functionality through prototypes certainly has value, we suggest that there also may be unique value in the sketching-as-speculative-implementation process described here.…”

Visual approaches for conducting research during the design process often give voice to people and ideas that might otherwise remain obscured. Recent and increasing interest in visual research techniques has coincided with technological advances such as camera phones and visually oriented mobile applications. As a result of this close association between digital technologies and image-based research techniques, there are multiple opportunities and challenges within human-computer interaction (HCI) Jaime Snyder (js2829@cornell.edu, http://jaimesnyder.com) is an information scientist and artist with an interest in social and ethical aspects of visualization practices; she is a Post Doctoral Research Associate in the Information Science Department at Cornell University and in the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University.

Designing calm technology and peripheral interaction for offshore service vessels

Ship bridge systems are increasingly collected into Integrated Bridge Systems in modern offshore vessels. By integrating previously separate equipment, there is possible to create more user-friendly interfaces leading to safer and more efficient operations. A consequence of Integrated Bridge Systems is that it is now possible to rethink the make-up of ship bridge interfaces in its entirety. This article reports on a new interface concept for Integrated Ship Bridges developed in the research and innovation project, Ulstein Bridge Concept. The interface concept offers a connection between discrete and generic interaction methods on ship bridges by introducing touch sensitive physical interaction devices. We discuss the concept in light of calm technology and show how the new system offers peripheral interaction techniques limiting the need for generic interaction. Although more research is needed, we suggest the new system offer a promising pathway for better integrated ship interfaces by allowing for a better balance between discrete and generic interaction methods.
