It has been suggested that user-centered design approaches may be the key to matching the development of organizational information systems to a firm's business and work requirements. The information systems literature on this topic centers upon methods to support user-centered system

The goal of this thesis is to design an interactive translation system to support multilingual communication using the user-centered design approach; it details how to select the best machine translation for the user’s input message, customize translation for different communication topics

User-centered design is rapidly becoming a necessary component of business systems. As users become more sophisticated, they expect usability to be a key component of information systems. Global information systems have more challenges to create systems with user-centered design principles

Nowadays, people capture, edit and share more and more home videos. Devices with video capturing capability and services for video sharing and editing are becoming increasingly popular. This study was conducted to chart in more detail what users currently do with their home videos, and what

Mobile devices have much potential to support older adults in their daily lives. However older adults have reported that they find mobile devices, such as existing mobile phones, difficult to learn to use. We argue that more research is needed to improve the learnability of mobile software applications for older adults. We present three different approaches for improving mobile device learnability: improving graphical icons, using multilayered interfaces, and augmenting the mobile interface.

is potentially di cult as, for commercial reasons, most of them integrate multiple and complex functions, with dozens of features, while lacking user interfaces that foster a coherent conceptual model that makes functionality apparent and comprehensible. Adherence to an iterative, user-centred design process

prototypes is proposed. Based on task, object and user models an editor for modelling the navigation structure of a user interface as a dialogue graph is demonstrated. This editor is based on the XIML technology and allows simulations considering temporal relations between task and design decisions

content. We tested whether providing Catchup gist overcomes the potential disadvantage that people must join even later- because catching up takes time. Catchup users understood meetings 70 % better than controls who simply joined late. They were more confident of their understanding and indicated a

, at any time. Our approach to application development focuses on the adoption of XP and User-Centered Design (UCD), emphasizing iterative user-interface development involving usability engineers and end-users. The paper describes the process of integrating XP with user-centered design and shows how

When our company chose to adopt an Agile development process for new products, our User Experience Team took the opportunity to adjust, and consequently improve, our user-centered design (UCD) practices. Our interface design work required data from contextual investigations to guide rapid
