Abstract

In this position paper we discuss the necessity of using User-Centered Design (UCD) methods in order to design collaborative software for the intelligence community. We discuss a number of studies of collaboration in the intelligence community and use this information to provide some guidelines for collaboration software.

User-Centered Design Guidelines for Collaborative Software for Intelligence Analysis

Conference Scholtz, Jean; Endert, Alexander

In this position paper we discuss the necessity of using User-Centered Design (UCD) methods in order to design collaborative software for the intelligence community. We present some standing issues in collaborative software based on existing work within the intelligence community. Based on this information we present opportunities to address some of these challenges.

Improving the quality of numerical software through user-centered design

Technical Report

The software interface - whether graphical, command-oriented, menu-driven, or in the form of subroutine calls - shapes the user`s perception of what software can do. It also establishes upper bounds on software usability. Numerical software interfaces typically are based on the designer`s understanding of how the software should be used. That is a poor foundation for usability, since the features that are ``instinctively right`` from the developer`s perspective are often the very ones that technical programmers find most objectionable or most difficult to learn. This paper discusses how numerical software interfaces can be improved by involving users more actively inmore »« less

Experiences with user-centered design for the tigres workflow API

Conference Ramakrishnan, L; Poon, S; Hendrix, V; ...

Scientific data volumes have been growing exponentially. This has resulted in the need for new tools that enable users to operate on and analyze data. Cyber infrastructure tools, including workflow tools, that have been developed in the last few years has often fallen short if user needs and suffered from lack of wider adoption. User-centered Design (UCD) process has been used as an effective approach to develop usable software with high adoption rates. However, UCD has largely been applied for user-interfaces and there has been limited work in applying UCD to application program interfaces and cyber infrastructure tools. We usemore »« less

Human factors engineering design guidelines for the software user interface

Technical Report Allen, H; Campbell, D

This report provides system designers with basic human factors information and guidelines for designing and developing the software user interface. A brief discussion of the user interface design philosophy is presented, followed by an overview of the user interface options available (such as color and highlighting), candidate approaches, and discussion of general display concepts and user interface features. We have presented information to facilitate discussions of user interface options, to aid in making final user interface design decisions, and to further the refinement of the user interface. We provide a candidate questionnaire for evaluating your software user interface. 41 refs.,more » 3 tabs.« less
An expandable software model for collaborative decision making during the whole building life cycle

Conference Papamichael, K; Pal, V; Bourassa, N; ...

Decisions throughout the life cycle of a building, from design through construction and commissioning to operation and demolition, require the involvement of multiple interested parties (e.g., architects, engineers, owners, occupants and facility managers). The performance of alternative designs and courses of action must be assessed with respect to multiple performance criteria, such as comfort, aesthetics, energy, cost and environmental impact. Several stand-alone computer tools are currently available that address specific performance issues during various stages of a building's life cycle. Some of these tools support collaboration by providing means for synchronous and asynchronous communications, performance simulations, and monitoring of amore »« less
