English | ISBN: 8793237200 | 2015 | 134 pages | PDF | 9 MB
In most IT system development processes, the identification or elicitation of user requirements is recognized as a key building block. In practice, the identification of user needs and wants is a challenge and inadequate or faulty identifications in this step of an IT system development can cause huge problems with the final product. The elicitation of user requirements as such changes according to age groups;, to gender,; to cultural settings,; and into time; and experience in the use of the system/software. User requirements, therefore, cannot be used between projects, IT systems, and different software. That makes the elicitation of user requirements an inherent part of any software development project and a resourceful activity as well. This book provides insights to the process of identifying user requirements and to different types by describing varying case studies in which technologies or software has been developed. A variety of user requirements are provided illustrating the effect of changing the targeted user group with respect to age,; to the context and the different technologies or software as well as to the difference in viewpoint on ways of involving users in the elicitation process. Cases and user requirement elements discussed in the book include: * User requirements elicitation processes for children, construction workers, and farmers* User requirements for personalized services of a broadcast company* Variations in user involvement* Practical elements of user involvement and requirements elicitation* Usable security requirements for design of privacy.

The 18th InternationalConference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Person- ization(UMAP 2010)took placeon BigIsland, HawaiiduringJune 20-24,2010. It was the second conference after UMAP 2009 in Trento, Italy, which merged the successful biannual User Modeling (UM) and Adaptive Hypermedia (AH) conference series. The ResearchPapertrackof the conferencewaschairedbyPaulDe Brafrom the Eindhoven University of Technology and Alfred Kobsa from the University ofCalifornia,Irvine. TheywereassistedbyaninternationalProgramCommittee of 80 leading ?gures in the AH and UM communities as well as highly promising youngerresearchers. Papersinthe ResearchPapertrackweregenerallyreviewed by three and sometimes even four reviewers, with one of them acting as a lead who initiates a discussion between reviewers and reconciles their opinions in a meta-review. The conferencesolicitedLong ResearchPapersof up to 12pagesin length, whichrepresentoriginalreports of substantivenew research. In addition, theconferenceacceptedShortResearchPapersofuptosixpagesinlength,whose merit was assessed more in terms of originality and importance than maturity and technical validation. The Research Paper track received 161 submission, with 112 in the long and 49 in the short paper category. Of these, 26 long and 6 short papers were accepted, resulting in an acceptance rate of 23. 2% for long papers and 19. 9% overall. Many authors of rejected papers were encouraged to resubmit to the Poster and Demo track of the conference. Following the example of UMAP 2009, the conference also had an Ind- try Paper track chaired by Bhaskar Mehta from Google, Zur ¨ ich, Switzerland and Kurt Partridge from PARC, Palo Alto, USA.

Excellent illustrations and the latest technology from the clinic, practice and laboratory are compiled for both the practicing urologist and the researching cytopathologist in the book "Urinary Cytology." The completely revised and up-dated text in the new second edition reflects the first common effort of urologists, pathologists and cytopathologists to find a unified concept: from conventional cytology to electron microscopy toflow cytometry. The authors' main emphasis is on conveying practical techniques for the collection, concentration, fixation, staining and analysis of cellular material. They clearly discuss the circumstances under which new techniques are advisable and the relevance of these techniques when difficult questions of detail arise. At the same time, basic scientific principles arepresented in comprehensible form. The atlas section gives examples of urologic cytology, compares pathological with normal results, discusses the problems in differential diagnosis and points the way to solutions.

Free Download Urbanization in Asia: Governance, Infrastructure and the Environment By Kala S. Sridhar, Guanghua Wan (auth.), Kala Seetharam Sridhar, Guanghua Wan (eds.)
2014 | 287 Pages | ISBN: 8132216377 | PDF | 7 MB
This work focuses on urban governance in the developing world, its aim being to bring a holistic perspective to the debate on urban governance in Asia and around the globe. It has been divided into three sections: The first section is on rural interventions as they influence urbanization and its problems/solutions. The second focuses on urban governance, infrastructure programs, service delivery reforms and their evaluation. The third and final section focuses on urbanization and the environment.In the first section, we present evaluations of India's rural programs including the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), and of India's Total Sanitation Campaign. This section covers the transition from rural to urban areas, and highlights coping mechanisms in urban areas and policy implications for urban governance, from the viewpoint of rural migrants.The section on urban governance, infrastructure and service delivery is the most in-depth and consists of papers that present state-of-the-art research on many aspects of infrastructure such as cost and time overruns, risks and their mitigation, assessments of the metro rail, and services such as solid waste management.The focus of the final section is on urbanization and the environment. Here we examine land use change in India, the relationship between urban form and residential energy use in Bandung, Indonesia, and end by depicting a cautiously optimistic view of Asia's urbanization-environment nexus.

Der Städtebau der europäischen Diktaturen in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts diente nicht nur der Herrschaftssicherung im eigenen Lande, sondern auch der Anerkennung durch die demokratischen Staaten. Nach der Machtübergabe an das nationalsozialistische Regime geriet er mehr und mehr zur Trumpfkarte im Wettbewerb unter den großen Diktaturen Europas - fast wie in der Zeit des Absolutismus. Jenseits aller Konflikte und politischer Orientierungen bestand ein intensiver fachlicher Austausch unter den Ländern Europas.

Die Wissenschaft spricht angesichts schwindender kultureller, sozialer und wirtschaftlicher Unterschiede zwischen Stadt und Land vom globalen Dorf. Dieser Begriff ruft die Vorstellung hervor, dass die raumtransformative Entwicklung eine ganzheitliche Veränderung sei, die dörfliche Geborgenheit, Vertrautheit und Übersichtlichkeit verbreitet. Doch lebt die Mehrheit der Menschen in urbanen Verhältnissen: oft in fragmentierten Großstädten mit entvölkerten Business-Zentren, gentrifizierten Quartieren der neuen, in Gated Communities eingeschlossenen Eliten und marginalisierten Slums der Globalisierungsverlierer.
