1. 11. User experiences with flexible offices

   Författare :Antonio Cobaleda Cordero; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; combi office; design research; office design; user studies; UX; user experience; activity-based flexible office; design qualities;

   Sammanfattning : Different office types provide the preconditions for distinct user experiences. However, research evidence on how users appraise flexible offices such as activity-based or combi offices is not as abundant as in the case of the more traditional open-plan and cell offices.

3. 12. Representing and Reasoning about Complex Human Activities - an Activity-Centric Argumentation-Based Approach

   Författare :Esteban Guerrero Rosero; Helena Lindgren; Juan Carlos Nieves; Chris Reed; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Complex activity; Argumentation Theory; Activity Theory; Logic programming; Knowledge representation; Common-sense reasoning; Artificial Intelligence; business data processing; administrativ databehandling;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to develop theories and formal methods to endow a computing machinery with capabilities to identify, represent, reason and evaluate complex activities that are directed by an individual’s needs, goals, motives, preferences and environment, information which can be inconsistent and incomplete.Current methods for formalising and reasoning about human activity are typically limited to basic actions, e.

4. 13. Total Cost Indicators - Operational Performance Indicators for managing environmental and economic efficiency

   Författare :Thomas Parker; Internationella miljöinstitutet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Environmental management indicators accounting assessment;

   Sammanfattning : In this Licentiate Dissertation presents a new model for selecting environmental performance indicators in order to improve environmental management. The suggested Total Cost Indicators support a support a preventive approach to environmental management, where environmental issues are addressed before they arise - and before they become costs.

5. 14. On the other side of change : Exploring the role that design can play in retaining sustainable doings

   Författare :Wanjun Chu; Renee Wever; Wiktoria Glad; Oskar Rexfelt; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Design for sustainable behavior; Behavior retention; Behavior change; Sustainable design; Context change; Activity theory;

   Sammanfattning : The world keeps changing more rapidly. Induced by context change disruptions such as individual life-course changes and macro socio-economical events, the way people carry out their everyday life doings is also undergoing a dynamic transition process, which may open up windows of opportunity for design to transit people’s behavior in a more sustainable direction.

7. 15. Towards good-enough Requirements Engineering : a theoretical Foundation for Requirements Quality

   Författare :Julian Frattini; Daniel Mendez; Michael Unterkalmsteiner; Elmar Juergens; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Requirements Engineering; Requirements Quality; Theory Development; Programvaruteknik; Software Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : Context: Requirements Engineering (RE) research has established a common agreement on the impact that the quality of requirements has on subsequent software development activities and artifacts. Furthermore, empirical investigations suppose that RE quality defects tend to scale in cost for remediation when left unattended. LÄS MER
