  1. 1. Urban Mobility Transitions : Governing through Experimentationin Bristol and New York City

    Författare :Emilia Smeds; Jenny McArthur; Helena Titheridge; Tim Schwanen; Yvonne Rydin; University College London Engineering and Public Policy Technology Department of Science; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; transport; transitions; urban governance; experimentation; mobility;

    Sammanfattning : Transitions away from car-dominance is one of the key debates in urban research, policy and practice today. Car-free public space, cycling and convenient public transport services are widely seen as desirable, yet the reconfiguration of our streets and transport networks has been incremental. LÄS MER

  3. 2. The human-computer interface in commercial systems : Investigations of dialogue design factors and usability with alphanumeric display terminals

    Författare :Bengt Johnsson; Bertil Andersson; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; administrative process; administrative system; commercial system; controlled experimentation; criteria; design property; display terminal; field investigation; human-computer interface; man-computer dialogue; man-machine matching; terminal user; usability; Information Systems; Informatik;

    Sammanfattning : When terminal based computer systems are incorporated in administrative processes, man-computer interface technology for many reasons becomes a crucial problem area. Terminal users ("terminalists") in such systems account for a vast number of terminal hours. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Robust Design Experimentation and Dispersion Effects

    Författare :Martin Arvidsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; estimation procedure; design of experiments; generalized linear models; event matrices; variance component; location effects; split-plot experiments; robust design; identification procedure; dispersion effects;

    Sammanfattning : One of the most common methods in robust design methodology is design of experiments. This method makes it possible to identify settings of design factors that make products and production processes robust with respect to noise factors. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Mutual Understanding in Situated Interactions with Conversational User Interfaces : Theory, Studies, and Computation

    Författare :Dimosthenis Kontogiorgos; Joakim Gustafsson; Gabriel Skantze; Catherine Pelachaud; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; human-computer interaction; social robots; smart-speakers; multimodal behaviours; social signal processing; common ground; dialogue and discourse; joint-construction tasks; embodiment; conversational failures; Computer Science; Datalogi;

    Sammanfattning : This dissertation presents advances in HCI through a series of studies focusing on task-oriented interactions between humans and between humans and machines. The notion of mutual understanding is central, also known as grounding in psycholinguistics, in particular how people establish understanding in conversations and what interactional phenomena are present in that process.

  7. 5. Experimenting with sustainability transformations: A study of Urban Living Labs in the food, water and energy nexus

    Författare :Darin Wahl; LUCSUS; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Transdisciplinary sustainability research; Urban Living Labs; experimentation; co-production; participatory methods; transformation; pluralism; food water energy nexus;

    Sammanfattning : Scholars and practitioners increasingly emphasize the importance of transdisciplinary and experimental approaches for understanding and addressing sustainability challenges. While there is widespread agreement that human society must undergo deep and radical changes, or so-called transformation, how transformation happens depends on multiple and dynamic factors in local contexts.
