Determining Requirements In System Analysis And DsignAsaduzzaman Kanok
Requirements determination and requirements structuring are two core components of system analysis. Traditionally, interviewing, questionnaires, directly observing and analyzing documents are four main methods adopted by system analysts to collect information. JAD and prototyping are two modern requirements determination methodologies, which are developed and based on the previous traditional methods. A well-structured representation of system requirements can dramatically improve the communication among analysts, designers, users, and programmers. DFD, structured English, decision tables, decision trees, and E-R diagrams are traditional primary requirements structuring tools. Nowadays, RAD and OOA are emerging to help streamline and shorten the total SDLC. While RAD SDLC packs traditional analysis phase and part of design phase into one step, OOA tries to make the outcomes of analysis phase can be reused by the following developing phases

Usability is how successfully and satisfactorily a person uses a product, document, website, or app to achieve goals effectively & efficiently. Good usability is measured by these factors: memorability, efficiency, errors, learnability, and satisfaction.
Leveraging Eye-gaze and Time-series Features to Predict User Interests and Bu...Nelson J. S. Silva
We developed a new concept to improve the efficiency of visual analysis
through visual recommendations. It uses a novel eye-gaze based
recommendation model that aids users in identifying interesting
time-series patterns. Our model combines time-series features and
eye-gaze interests, captured via an eye-tracker. Mouse selections are
also considered. The system provides an overlay visualization with
recommended patterns, and an eye-history graph, that supports
the users in the data exploration process. We conducted an experiment
with 5 tasks where 30 participants explored sensor data of a
wind turbine. This work presents results on pre-attentive features,
and discusses the precision/recall of our model in comparison to
final selections made by users. Our model helps users to efficiently
identify interesting time-series patterns.
Dr. Ralph Schaetzing, Manager, Strategic Standards & Regulatory Affairs, Carestream, writes about how we define “image quality” and how the definition involves numerous factors that can differ between people and technologies.
The key topics covered in the white paper that delves into the image quality debate include:
• Where image quality is affected throughout the radiographic image chain
• Understanding the three different “flavors” of image quality—objective, subjective, and performance-based
• The role medical image processing plays in determining image quality
• The three main categories of reader error in radiography—visual scanning, target recognition, and decision-making/interpretation
Recommender System (RS) has emerged as a significant research interest that aims to assist users to seek out items online by providing suggestions that closely match their interests. Recommender system, an information filtering technology employed in many items is presented in internet sites as per the interest of users, and is implemented in applications like movies, music, venue, books, research articles, tourism and social media normally. Recommender systems research is usually supported comparisons of predictive accuracy: the higher the evaluation scores, the higher the recommender. One amongst the leading approaches was the utilization of advice systems to proactively recommend scholarly papers to individual researchers. In today's world, time has more value and therefore the researchers haven't any much time to spend on trying to find the proper articles in line with their research domain. Recommender Systems are designed to suggest users the things that best fit the user needs and preferences. Recommender systems typically produce an inventory of recommendations in one among two ways -through collaborative or content-based filtering. Additionally, both the general public and also the non-public used descriptive metadata are used. The scope of the advice is therefore limited to variety of documents which are either publicly available or which are granted copyright permits. Recommendation systems (RS) support users and developers of varied computer and software systems to beat information overload, perform information discovery tasks and approximate computation, among others.

We conducted a user-centered design of a clinical decision-support system for breast cancer screening, diagnosis, and reporting based on stroke gestures. We combined knowledge elicitation interviews, scenario-focused questionnaires, and paper mock-ups to understand user needs. Multi-fidelity (low and high) prototypes were designed and compared first in vitro in a usability laboratory, then in vivo in the real world. The resulting user interface provides radiologists with a platform that integrates domain-oriented tools for the visualization of mammograms, the manual, and the semi-automatic annotation of breast cancer findings based on stroke gestures. The contribution of this work lies in that, to the best of our knowledge, stroke gestures have not yet been applied to the annotation of mammograms. On the one hand, although there is a substantial amount of research done in stroke-based interaction, none focuses especially on the domain of breast cancer annotation. On the other hand, typical gestures in breast cancer annotation tools are those with a keyboard and a mouse

User Research Tools: Don't just do it, do it wellZabisco Digital
Carrying out user research does not mean simply talking to people, users. There are certain things to consider and skills that are important to make sure it is done effectively. There are various methods and tools that can be used to conduct user research, but they are each appropriate in different contexts and all can be enhanced by being well planned and well applied.
Users are Losers! They’ll Like Whatever we Make! and Other Fallacies.Carol Smith
Presented at CodeMash 2013.
If this sounds familiar it is time to make big changes or look for a new job. Failing your users will only end badly. In this session we look at the assumptions that are all-too-often made about users, usability and the User Experience (UX). In response to each of these misguided statements Carol will provide a quick method you can conduct with little or no resources to debunk these myths.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
