The document discusses principles of user-centered design (UCD) including:
1. UCD focuses on meeting users' requirements and involving users in the design process.
2. There are different levels of user involvement from technical-centered to user-led design.
3. UCD methods gather user data and employ iterative design and testing to design systems based on user needs.

Investment in UCD Pays off
Bringing the users into every stage of the design process is an investment of effort and other resources of the design team, which makes understanding the benefits of a user-centered design approach relevant (IDF - www.interaction-design.org)
What is User-Centered Design? User-centered design (UCD) is a collection of processes that focus on putting users at the center of product design and development. When a product team develops digital products, it takes into account the user's requirements, objectives, and feedback.
Usability Engineering Presentation Slideswajahat Gul
Usability: the extent to which a product can be used by specified users to achieve specified goals with effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction in a specified context of use.“
For instance:
• Appropriate for a purpose
• Comprehensible, usable, (learnable), …
• Ergonomic, high-performance, ...
• Reliable, robust, …
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. User Centered Design
• Focus on meeting the requirements that users have of computer systems
• An approach which views knowledge about users and their involvement in
the design process as a central concern
• It is an approach to design that is based on the needs and interests of the
user, with an emphasis on making the product usable and understandable
3. Software Engineering
• Software Engineering focus on system functionality
• Waterfall Model
• Requirement gathering
• Analysis
• Design
• Code
• Testing
• Operations : installation, migration, support , maintenance
4.
5.
6. Design Process
• Determining problem exists and performing series of steps to resolve it
• A feature of the design process is the creation of representations (Prototype)
• Usability requirements vs functional requirements
• Usability covers features about ease of learning, comfortable and efficient
performance
• Functionality covers areas relating to the technical competency of the
product
7. Activity
• Think of three likely usability requirements for a microwave oven. Describe
the distinctions between functionality and usability.
• What kind of design representations might we use to test the usability of the
microwave oven?
8. User Centered Design
• Based on real data
• User center design has 4 core aspects
1. It places the user at the center of design
2. It focuses on involvement of the user
3. It integrates knowledge and expertise from different disciplines in HCI
4. It is highly iterative
10. Levels of user-centeredness
• Technical centered UCD: where the users provide functional requirements.
These users will inform, commission and be consulted with, but are
essentially passive with respect to the design itself.
• Joint user-specialist UCD: where the users are collaboratively involved in the
design and are represented at all of the stages in the design process. A range
of users are typically selected for this role where they act as ‘proxies’ for the
other users and can see developments and make suggestions at all phases of
the design.
11. Levels of user-centeredness
• User-led UCD: where the developers provide a technical service to users, the
users are actively in control of the design process. This technique is
especially useful in the design of organizational information systems, for
example databases, where users have a good understanding of what they
need, although they may not be placed to address the technical aspects of
technology and systems design best
13. UCD Methods/Approaches
• The Soft Systems Methodology concentrates on a holistic view of the
system and its environment / context. SSM analyses the "situation of
concern" rather than the "problem" (which has to be defined). It is a highly
qualitative, interpretative, and subjective approach.
• Co-operative and participatory design methods involve working with
actual users of the system (both current and future users). The involvement
of management from the client business is reduced in order to let the users
express their needs and concerns free from any pressures from "above".
14. Star Life Cycle Design Approach
• Centered around evaluation and
does not specify any order to the
activities surrounding this
evaluation. It strongly encourages a
high level of iteration throughout
the design process.
15. Factors for measuring UCD
• System effectiveness: the accurateness and completeness of goal
completion in that particular environment.
• Efficiency: the amount of resources expended in relation to the goals
achieved.
• Satisfaction: the comfort and acceptability of the work systems to its users
(and other people affected by its use)
16. Principles for design
• Learnability: offers ease of learning for novice users.
• Flexibility: provides multiple ways to exchange information.
• Robustness: supports successful achievement and assessment of the goals.
