Handbook of Usability and User-Experience: Methods and Techniques
by Marcelo M. Soares, Francisco Rebelo and Tareq Z. AhramHandbook of Usability and User Experience: Methods and Techniques is concerned with emerging usability and user experience in design concepts, theories and applications of human factors knowledge focusing on the discovery, design and understanding of human interaction and usability issues with products and systems for their improvement. This volume presents methods and techniques to design products, systems and environments with good usability, accessibility and user satisfaction. It introduces the concepts of usability and its association with user experience, and discusses methods and models for usability and UX. It also introduces relevant cognitive, cultural, social and experiential individual differences, which are essential for understanding, measuring and utilizing these differences in the study of usability and interaction design. In addition, the book discusses the use of usability assessment to improve healthcare, the relationship between usability and user experience in the built environment, the state-of-the-art review of usability and UX in the digital world, usability and UX in the current context, and emerging technologies. We hope that this first of two volumes will be helpful to a large number of professionals, students and practitioners who strive to incorporate usability and user experience principles and knowledge in a variety of applications. We trust that the knowledge presented in this volume will ultimately lead to an increased appreciation of the benefits of usability and incorporate the principles of usability and user experience knowledge to improve the quality, effectiveness and efficiency of consumer products, systems and environments in which we live.

Handbook of Variational Methods for Nonlinear Geometric Data
by Philipp Grohs Martin Holler Andreas WeinmannThis book covers different, current research directions in the context of variational methods for non-linear geometric data. Each chapter is authored by leading experts in the respective discipline and provides an introduction, an overview and a description of the current state of the art. Non-linear geometric data arises in various applications in science and engineering. Examples of nonlinear data spaces are diverse and include, for instance, nonlinear spaces of matrices, spaces of curves, shapes as well as manifolds of probability measures. Applications can be found in biology, medicine, product engineering, geography and computer vision for instance. Variational methods on the other hand have evolved to being amongst the most powerful tools for applied mathematics. They involve techniques from various branches of mathematics such as statistics, modeling, optimization, numerical mathematics and analysis. The vast majority of research on variational methods, however, is focused on data in linear spaces. Variational methods for non-linear data is currently an emerging research topic. As a result, and since such methods involve various branches of mathematics, there is a plethora of different, recent approaches dealing with different aspects of variational methods for nonlinear geometric data. Research results are rather scattered and appear in journals of different mathematical communities. The main purpose of the book is to account for that by providing, for the first time, a comprehensive collection of different research directions and existing approaches in this context. It is organized in a way that leading researchers from the different fields provide an introductory overview of recent research directions in their respective discipline. As such, the book is a unique reference work for both newcomers in the field of variational methods for non-linear geometric data, as well as for established experts that aim at to exploit new research directions or collaborations.Chapter 9 of this book is available open access under a CC BY 4.0 license at link.springer.com.
Handbook of Waterfront Cities and Urbanism
by Mohammed Mahbubur RahmanHandbook of Waterfront Cities and Urbanism is the first resource to address cities’ transformations of their coastlines and riverbanks and the resulting effects on environment, culture, and identity in a genuinely global context. Spanning cities from Gdańsk to Georgetown, this reference for design, development, and planning explores the transition of waterfronts from industrial and port zones to crowd-drawing urban spectacles within the frameworks of urban development, economics, ecology, governance, globalization, preservation, and sustainability. A collection of contextual studies, local perspectives, project reviews, and analyses of evolution and emerging trends provides critical insight into the phenomenon of waterfront development and urbanism in cities from the East to the West. Features: Explores the transformation of waterfronts from industrial hubs to urban playgrounds through the lenses of preservation, governance, economics, ecology, and more. Presents chapter-length case studies drawn from cities in China, Bangladesh, Turkey, the United States, Malaysia, the European Union, Egypt, and other countries. Includes contributions from an interdisciplinary team of international scholars and professionals, a much-needed corrective to the historical exclusion of researchers and issues from the Global South. An ideal reference for graduate students, scholars, and professionals in urban planning, architecture, geography, and history, the Handbook of Waterfront Cities and Urbanism deserves to be on the shelf of urban authorities and any internationally minded academic or practitioner in real estate development, water management, preservation, or tourism.

Handbuch Nachhaltige Energiesysteme im Quartier: Modelle und Strategien zwischen lokalen und globalen Herausforderungen
by Christa Reicher Canan Çelik Eva Christine Hahn Antonia RubarthDie NRW Forschungskollegs sind mit anwendungsbezogener Forschung auf Themenfeldern von hoher gesellschaftspolitischer Relevanz befasst. Kennzeichnend für ihre Forschungsansätze ist eine hohe Komplexität. Durch die Anwendung von inter- und transdisziplinären Forschungsmethoden werden ausgewogene und umsetzbare Lösungsansätze erwartet. In den Kollegs sollen entsprechende Forschungsmethoden vermittelt und weiterentwickelt werden.Das Forschungskolleg NRW „Nachhaltige Energiesysteme im Quartier“ hat zum Ziel, technische, wirtschaftliche und soziale Steuerungsmodelle zur Steigerung der Energieeffizienz im Quartier zu entwickeln. Damit leistet das Forschungskolleg mit seiner breiten interdisziplinären Zusammensetzung und Einbettung in die Praxis (transdisziplinär) einen wichtigen Beitrag, um integrierte Konzepte zu entwickeln und die notwendige Verständigung zwischen den Disziplinen sowie zwischen zukünftigen Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern mit Praktikerinnen und Praktikern zu fördern. Konkrete Handlungsmöglichkeiten und Optionen sollen die handelnden Parteien, allen voran Stadtwerke, Kommunen, Politik und Bürger darin unterstützen, die Energiewende im Quartier voranzutreiben. Das komplexe Thema der nachhaltigen Energiesysteme ist gekoppelt mit den Herausforderungen Klimawandel, demografische Entwicklung, Transformation der Energieversorgung sowie der Wärme- und Mobilitätswende. Hierzu reicht es nicht aus den Stromsektor zu betrachten, da auch der Wärmesektor und die Mobilität ein großes Potenzial zur Minderung von CO2-Emissionen aufweisen. Für diese drei wichtigen Sektoren einerseits und für die Betrachtung der handelnden und konsumierenden Akteure andererseits ist das Quartier eine geeignete räumliche Bezugsgröße. Der räumliche Fokus der Forschungsarbeiten liegt neben dem Ruhrgebiet und dort ausgewählten Quartieren auch auf dem Rheinischen Revier.
