An extension to workload-based performance simulation approach is presented, which enables modelling applications using a UML tool and transforming them to SystemC with a code generator. Therefore partial reuse of existing UML application models is feasible, removing the need for separate workload modelling in SystemC. The UML to SystemC transformation is applied to a mobile video player case stud

In this paper I will discuss interactivity and spatiality, including the relationships between technology-in-use, design and everyday practices. The paper reports some initial experiences from a field study at a technology-intensive control room and of using work-oriented approaches for collaborative design. In several studies a group of multidisciplinary researchers has carried out experiments of

When adapting the home of a disabled person many people with different backgrounds and knowledge are involved in the planning phase. An essential feature in the planning process is a visualization technique which presents the suggested solution in a form that is easy to understand for everybody and can initiate constructive discussions.

Artikeln är en populärvetenskapligt hållen redogörelse för de våldsamma konflikter om den nordöländska skogen som utspelade sig under 1800-talets första hälft. Fr.o.m. början av 1830-talet blev skogen i Böda en statlig kronopark, där skogen skulle brukas med hjälp av vetenskapligt skogsbruk och under övervakning av en statlig jägeribetjäning. Det nya sättet att bruka skogen på utmanades dock av de

Homelessness became a conspicuous facet of Russian metropolitan cityscapes only in the 1990s, when the Soviet criminalization of ‘vagrancy’ and similar offences was abolished. This study investigates homelessness as a sociostructural phenomenon as well as an individually experienced life condition, with a focus on homeless people in St. Petersburg in 1999 onwards. To these men and women, homeless
