The basic assumption of these methods and Given the complexity of the variabilities represented by feature tools is that the set of initial desirable features is already known models, it is often hard for the stakeholders to analyze a feature to the stakeholders or at least to the software product designers model and identify the features that are most important for their [5].

  • User-Centered Design: Why and How to Put Users First in Software Development
    User-Centered Design: Why and How to Put Users First in Software Development Dieter Wallach and Sebastian C. Scholz Abstract In this chapter we provide an overview of the activities and artefacts of the user- centered design (UCD) methodology – a successful and practical approach to the design of software user interfaces. After tracing its foundational principles (early focus on users, empirical measurement using prototypes and iterative design) back to 1985s seminal paper by Gould and Lewis, we will highlight each of five central categories of design activities (Scope, Analyse, Design, Validate and Deliver) performed in UCD. Potential integration of UCD into two popular categorizations of software development (User Interface First vs. User Interface Later) will be explored and then demonstrated in a real life case study from the field of electronic engineering along with a practical takeaway regarding the relationship of UCD and eLearning. 1 Introduction On January 9th, 2007 Apple announced three things: a widescreen iPod with touch control, a revolutionary mobile phone and a breakthrough internet communication device – all combined in a single device named iPhone. Six months, worldwide distributed photos showing long lines of staying the night customers willing to wait and buy, and massive international iPhone press coverage later, Apple’s stock value had already climbed by 60 % when the iPhone finally became available on the market (and ascended by more than 600 % since then).

  • Cost-Effective Communication and Control Architectures for Active Low Voltage Grids
    Cost-effective Communication and Control Architectures for Active Low Voltage Grids MIKEL ARMENDÁRIZ Doctoral Thesis Stockholm, Sweden 2017 i TRITA-EE 2017:160 Electric Power and Energy Systems ISSN 1653-5146 KTH, Royal Institute of Technology ISBN 978-91-7729-588-4 Stockholm, Sweden Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Mikel Armendáriz, November 2017. Copyrighted articles are reprinted with kind permission from IET, IEEE and Elsevier. Printed by Universitetsservice US AB ii Abstract: The monitoring and control of low voltage distribution grids has historically been disregarded due to the unidirectional flow of power. However, nowadays the electric power system is being modernized to enable a sustainable energy system. This is assisted by the smart grids concept, which incorporates the new types of loads, the active energy consumers, often called 'prosumers', and the higher requirements for reliability and quality of service. The number of prosumers is increasing since many houses, apartments, commercial building and public institutions are beginning to produce energy, mainly through solar photovoltaic panels on their rooftop. These installations are principally promoted by the fall in the cost of renewable energy technologies, especially solar panels. Thus, while the small-scale renewables can reduce the electricity bill for the consumers, they can also generate problems for the distribution grid operators because the non- consumed energy surplus is exported to the grid and that requires updating the existing electricity infrastructures. This new paradigm adds new regulatory, economic, and technical type of challenges. In response to this new situation, this thesis investigates the communication and control architectures that are required for active low voltage grid monitoring and control applications, considering the regulatory constraints and the efficient utilization of the assets from a distribution system operator’s perspective.
