This paper explores the monolithic and microservice architecture, by proposing a migration strategy using the Domain-Driven Design, implementing a hybrid database design. By decomposing the legacy system's components and integrating microservice ...

In response to evolving societal and technical demands, this research explores the dynamic landscape of product evolution, focusing on the case study of braking systems. Acknowledging the critical role of product evolution analysis in design phases, the ...

While speculative methods (e.g., design fiction) could help industry to reflect critically about future products and services, little is known about their potentials and limits when applied in a corporate setting. In this case, we worked with an ...

As the need for efficient digital circuits is ever growing in the industry, the design of such systems remains daunting, requiring both expertise and time. In an attempt to close the gap between software development and hardware design, powerful features ...

Even though a broad range of social robots are currently available on the market, social robots are not yet an integral part of companies, healthcare providers, or public institutions. This might be due to the fact that the prevalent developer ...

Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) is inherently a human-centric field of technology. The role of feminist theories in related fields (e.g. Human-Computer Interaction, Data Science) are taken as a starting point to present a vision for Feminist HRI which can ...

While there is significant potential for driving automation to increase traffic safety and enhance comfort, it is important that these systems are designed in such a way that drivers are supported in building a correct understanding of the system's ...

"Come Hither to Me!" is feminist robot theater with the objective to break down gender roles and provoke the audience to question accepted norms and stereotypes. Inspired by pick-up artist strategies, the female robotic performer wanders the art gallery ...

We present ForSyDe-Atom, a formal framework intended as an entry point for disciplined design of complex cyber-physical systems. This framework provides a set of rules for combining several domain-specific languages as structured, enclosing layers to ...

Maturity models have been used in several domains to evaluate system maturity according to specific aspects. Despite their popularity, maturity models have been criticized due to lack of empirical validation and effective methods to aid in their ...

As Moore's law has provided an exponential increase in chip transistor density, the unique features we can now include in large chips are no longer predominantly limited by area constraints. Instead, new capabilities are increasingly limited by the ...

Traditional design methods are inspired by introverted self-salvation or creativity-driven design. In the era of big data, they are gradually driven by vast data. Design innovation without data is increasingly lacking in persuasion. The design of data ...

ATHack, an annual assistive technologies hackathon at MIT, is unique in that community members living with disabilities (co-designers) propose projects and work with hackers to create prototypes over a two-week period. Since 2014, over 75 co-designers ...

Understanding users is crucial to designing delightful experiences for them. This paper provides a case study on how we gained a better understanding of our users before we redesigned Quotient's (formerly Coupons Inc.) user experience. Before ...

This paper describes a methodology for the creation of augmented reality experiences for artistic exhibitions, targeted at offering a smooth authoring path to designers with limited computer science skills. The work describes how to design a smooth and ...

Procedural Content Generation (PCG) uses algorithmic techniques to create a wide variety of content for games. These generators often have a large number of parameters, making it difficult for non-technical designers to explore the design space of ...

The current work investigates how creativity manifests when designers use data work in the early phase of design. Designers are increasingly interested in utilizing the massive amounts of data surrounding our everyday lives. However, data work is still ...

The HCI community cares for the human and social aspects of technologies. Ethical discussion on the social implications of new technologies often happen among researchers, but it is important to raise this discussion also in the industry that designs ...

This paper explores methodological considerations of using constructive assemblies as a participatory design tool in order to explore new conceptual and material possibilities in saturated product categories. Constructive assemblies are tangible, ...

Heterogeneously-integrated memory system is configured with various types of storage class memories (SCMs) and NAND flash memories. SCMs are faster than NAND flash, and they are divided into memory and storage types with their characteristics. NAND ...
