  • TWINTIDE - Towards the Integration of Transectorial IT Design and Evaluation

    2010-01-01 to 2013-01-01

    The main objective of the Action is to harmonise research and practice on design and evaluation methodologies for computing artefacts, across sectors and disciplines. The Action aims to provide harmonization and leadership currently lacking in this field by bringing together researchers and D&E professionals. Their broad experience of D&E methods deployed in different sectors and disciplines enables comparison of method applications, assessing transferability of both established and novel approaches. These collaborative activities in Working Groups and open Workshops will facilitate production of a generic D&E method selection and application framework and scientific publications reaching the wider research community. The Action will also provide young interdisciplinary researchers with systematic training and networking opportunities such as STSMs and Training Schools.

  • Ubiloop

    2010-12-01 to 2012-12-01

    The project Ubiloop is focused on the development of innovative methods for reporting critical incidents found by citizens in urban context to local administrations. In our working scenario, citizens should be able to use diverse kind of devices (mainly mobile phones) to inform to local administrations the occurrence of incidents that need immediate care such as a hydrant leaking. The goals associated to this project imply activities of research and development covering in the following areas: engineering of interactive systems, human-interaction in mobile contexts, social aspects related to incident reporting and risk management. The neighborhood association “Croix de Pierre” of Toulouse will contribute to this project consortium acting as end users for the scenarios proposed.

  • MEDIAWeb - MEDIA-Web: Methods for Evaluation and Desig of rich Internet Applications (RIAs)

    2009-01-01 to 2011-01-01

    This project is devoted to investigation of models, notations and tools to assist designers during the development of Rich Internet Applications (RIAs). Our goal is to produce: i) a comprehensive investigation of model-based approach for describing RIAs and in particular allowing to describe the distribution of application execution between the web servicer and web browsers; ii) a method and a notation for supporting model-based developpement of RIAs. Such as a method should support all design activities along the life cycle of applications and lead to usable web applications; iii) tools to support the edition and evaluation of model specifications for RIAS.

  • PIMI - Personal Information Management through Internet

    2010-11-01 to 2010-11-01

    The future Internet will bring a growing number of networked applications (services), devices and individual data (including private ones) to end-users. The important challenges are the organization of their access, and the guarantee of trust and privacy. The objectives of the PIMI project are the definition of a design environment and a deployment platform for Personal Information Management System (PIMS). The future PIMS must provide the end-user personal data access with services that are relevant to his needs. In order to take mobility into account, the PIMS will be accessed both by mobile devices (smartphone) and Personal Computers.

  • WebAUDIT - Assisted User interface Design of Interactive Teleprocedures on the Web

    2005-03-01 to 2008-03-01

    This project is concerned by models and techniques supporting the development of teleprocedures with usability. The term teleprocedure is used here to identify an administrative procedure which can be implemented by the means of electronic forms over the Web, following a well-defined workflow process supporting the communication between administrations, organizations, citizens and enterprises. Teleprocedure are complex applications which must ensure the security of information exchange (e.g. authentication of users, date and time, secure transfer of data, etc.), provide an efficient notification system helping all users (i.e. citizens and organizations) to monitor the progress of the process, provide flexible support to complex business rules (which might change according new regulations and laws), support data exchange among several databases and legacy systems, and last (but not least) be accessible and usable for a large public of users. The goal of this project is twofold:
