Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- There is an increasing interest in the intersection of human-computer interaction and public policy. This day-long workshop will examine successes and challenges related to public policy and human computer interaction, in order to provide a forum to create a baseline of examples and to start the process of writing a white paper on the topic.

Use and usefulness of HCI methods : Results from an exploratory study among Nordic HCI practitioners

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- As an HCI practitioner, it would be of great value to know which methods other HCI practitioners find most useful in different project phases. Also it would be interesting to know whether the type of ICT projects has any effects on HCI practitioners' perception of the usefulness of the methods. This paper presents results from an exploratory survey of HCI practitioners in the Nordic countries conducted in the fall of 2004. 179 of the respondents were usability professionals or UI designers with two or more years of experience. The survey results give insights with regard to whether or not HCI practitioners are included in those project phases regarded as most important. Also it describes which HCI methods that are used in different project phases, and how useful different HCI methods are perceived to be. The study complements existing HCI practitioner survey investigations by an explicit allocation of the HCI methods under consideration to concrete project phases, and by including analyses of group differences between practitioners working with different kinds of development projects.

4(th) Workshop on Software and Usability Engineering Cross-Pollination : Usability Evaluation of Advanced Interfaces
- 2009

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The usability evaluation of advanced interfaces such as intelligent, adaptive and context-aware interfaces presents several challenges. These interfaces need to be evaluated over an extended time period and used in their actual Context Of use, rather than in a laboratory setting. Usability evaluation methods for traditional interactive systems have been extensively researched and are well understood. These methods include heuristic evaluation, usability testing and field studies. The goal of this workshop is to bring together people who are engaged in the design and evaluation of advanced interfaces across different disciplines. The objective is to exchange ideas and techniques relevant to the usability evaluation of advanced interfaces and to establish guidelines for the evaluation of such interfaces that cross-pollinate the different disciplines.

User-centred design and agile development of IT systems
- 2006
-
Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Despite the knowledge on the interaction between humans and computers, too many IT systems show great deficits when it comes to usability. Every day we run into technology that makes our every day life and our work unnecessarily complex and difficult because of the IT systems that are not designed to support our tasks in a usable way. This thesis deals with different aspects of usability and the process of how to develop usable IT systems effectively. Primarily, the systems concerned are used in professional work, such as case handling systems in large government organisations.The main objective of this research is to understand which essential factors in the system development process that facilitate the development of usable IT systems. Another key subject is how human-computer interaction (HCI) knowledge can be integrated into systems development, in particular the integration of user-centred design (UCD) and agile software development. The research is based on a qualitative approach and on reflections from my own experience in development projects. It also includes exploratory studies and design cases.The attempts of bridging the gap between HCI and software engineering have not been notably successful in practice. To address some of these problems, there is a need for a more precise definition of user-centred design, which is proposed in the thesis. Also, the complicated reality of systems development is not considered enough by HCI researchers and practitioner. To reach better results, UCD has to be integrated as a natural part of the development process. In the thesis, I argue that the agile approach together with UCD can be a good starting point for this integration. The agile approach emphasises that responding to change in development is more important than strictly adhering to a plan. Also, it prioritises regular deliveries of working software over extensive models and documentation. However, from an HCI perspective, agile processes do not inherently provide the required support for user-centred design. Nevertheless, the basic values and specific methods of agile development may have the potential to work very well together with UCD. For instance, iterative development is fundamental to both user-centred design and agile development.Finally, the research addresses how iterative methods can be used to find design solutions that support the users to cope with the problems of overview and control in case handling work.
