- new When talking about the performance
of computer systems or applications, we soon realize that
we have to consider an "android" system. That is, the performance
of the whole system, not only the performance of its components,
namely, the computer system and the human user. So, we might
ask, "Is there an approach that takes the whole system, the
computer and the user into account?" In this article, our
author will look at this issue more closely.
- new The theme of this year's
CHI was "Art, Science, Balance," and what better
location than Florence Italy, the city of great artists and
scientists, to contemplate this concept? The venue for CHI
2008 was the historic Fortezza da Basso, a medieval outpost
in the heart of Florence. For the one week that CHI was in
town, the halls of the old fort echoed with terms such as "Web
2.0," "Research methodologies" …a mere
blink of an eye in it’s 500 year existence. Read what
SAP Ux colleague Janaki Kumar has to report from the conference.
- Reas and Fry's book about
the Processing programming language and its applications
for designers and artists comes in at a hefty 600 plus pages
and includes a multitude of programming exercises and examples.
Regrettably, I have no chance of reading this book and performing
the exercises as well as my day-to-day work. So I have to
concede that this review is based on scanning the pages to
get an overview of the language and its applications. I also
read some passages that especially attracted my interest,
downloaded a Windows and Apple Macintosh version of the Processing programming
environment, ran many of the examples provided with the environment.
- SAP
was a Champion Sponsor of the CHI 2008 Conference on Human
Factors in Computing Systems, held from April 5 to 10, 2008
in Florence, Italy. As in the previous years, SAP had a recruiting
booth and board. Here are a couple of photos showing the
booth, life at the booth, SAP Ux participants in CHI panels,
and more.
