Abstract

As mobile information systems (MISs) penetrate public facilities more and more, the way we deal with objects will continuously be changed by these technologies. Therefore, an understanding of users' natural behaviour within an environmental context becomes critical for an appropriate user interface. As part of a user-centred development approach [3], structured field interviews were conducted in a science museum. The main question was: What attributes must a MIS offer to meet visitors' needs? The interviews were analysed qualitatively and reveal a strong demand for flexible and adaptable information systems within a mobile context.

Although “User-Centred”, “Participatory”, and other similar design approaches have proved to be very valuable for mainstream design, their principles are more difficult to apply successfully when the user group contains, or is composed of, older and/or ...
User Requirements and System Requirements

Stakeholders, analysts, and designers often fail to differentiate the roles of user and system requirements. Unfortunately, treating them as the same thing can create problems for projects. Here are three strategies for managing user and system ...
