Opening The Design Space:The Soft Set Of Requirements By Alessia RulloAlessia Rullo
This presentation is taken from DIS 2008 conference. It aims at presenting a methodological perspective based on the notion of the Aesthetics of Interaction in ambient computing systems. Aesthetics of Interaction is challenged by the design proposal for the soft qualities of interaction, which is used as a tool to complement the existing design methodologies. It is indeed the author’s conviction that the role of these aspects is indispensable to the design of ambient computing systems, in which the interaction does not take place only according to the ‘one on one’ relationship between the human and the device; it is also distributed within the setting - and throughout the settings -, pervades everyday objects, and enables new relationships, which arise from the environmental and relational conditions enabled.
The document discusses using high content screening to quantify cell morphology under different drug conditions and concentrations over time. By measuring 64 morphology parameters for each cell, the system can identify significant features that discriminate cell conditions and cluster cells into different morphology types. Transition models are then built to understand how cell states change in response to perturbations as a way to gain insights into cell function and behavior.

Steve Krug is a usability and interface design expert whose consulting firm tests websites. His book discusses common questions visitors have when using websites and provides tips for effective design. These include using clear navigation, highlighting important information, and focusing on simplicity and usability over aesthetics. User interviews found that readability, simplicity and intuitive navigation are key to an effective site design.
The Buffalo Bills partnered with the Buffalo News on the Bills Geography program, which profiles Bills players in classroom activities and ads. As part of the program, children were invited to a sports writers camp at Ralph Wilson Stadium where they toured facilities and interviewed players. The Buffalo News also hosted an essay contest for the program, and the winner received a VIP experience at the stadium including attending practice and an interview with a player printed in the game day program. The goal was to use Bills football to engage and educate local youth.
