E X E C U T I V E summary
To help users of interconnected embedded systems by ensuring their interusability.
Smarcos results will be applicable to all embedded systems that interact with their
users, which is a substantial fraction of today’s market. The results will also help web
services that are integral parts of such systems.
R E L E VA N C E C A L L 2009 objectives
Seamless connectivity and middleware: Smarcos targets interconnected embedded systems in different domains, seeks cross domain connectivity at the UI level and shares resources dynamically.
Design methods and tools: Smarcos builds models of human-device interaction to predict and analyse usability issues and enhances design tools for design-time validation.
M A R K E T innovation
Smarcos results will be applicable to all embedded systems that interact with their users, which is a substantial fraction of today’s market.
We will look at usability-enhancing principles in several complementary domains (healthcare, personal devices, control systems), identify commonalities in their technical solutions (e.g. context-aware features) and transfer lessons learned and solution patterns between these domains.
Smarcos results will enhance the products and R&D processes of our partners and their allies. Our concepts will lead to novel products, both as new, better devices and novel services in the cloud.
T E C H N I C A L innovation
Smarcos seeks to:> Extend usability research and user interface solutions to look beyond
individual devices and services.
> Make devices better aware of what their users and other systems are doing.
This will reduce the “artificial stupidity” so common in today’s systems and
render user experiences less frustrating.
> Find useful tools for modelling the combination of devices, services and the
people who uses them. We hope to capture in these models such essential
features of the domain that the models/modelling techniques can be reused
from one system to another, reducing the need for redesign.
> Improve the state of embedded HCI, creating new user studies and novel
concepts methods to be widely demonstrated.
