Urban Living Labs (ULL) have become a common way to address wicked design challenges within the future mobility, and smart city context. The move toward ULL is part of a paradigm shift away from focusing purely on the IT-artifact, innovation, and user-centeredness toward focusing on the urban context and the construction of a place as a social cont...
An exploration into the design of a portable music player for people with Alzheimer's and dementia.
Players of Massively Multiplayer Online games (MMOs) consume content much faster than game designers can produce it. However, they also generate stories through their interaction, which can contribute to adding novel types of content in the game world. We introduce and demonstrate Play Arcs, a design strategy for structuring emergent stories that p...
Ce mémoire présente une méthode d'exploration de l'espace architectural de conception afin de converger rapidement vers la définition d'une architecture reconfigurable efficace pour une application donnée.
Cette méthode intervient très tôt dans le flot de conception, ainsi dès les premières phases de spécification de l'application, les concepteurs p...
As reconfigurable computing solutions are emerging at the hardware level, there is an obvious need for well adapted design tools. This paper describes a research effort currently in progress that tries to address this problem. The EPICURE framework is a new global methodology based on the cooperation of tools adapted for the design of embedded Hard...
