Wet Laboratories are highly dynamic, shared environments full of tubes, racks, compounds, and dedicated machinery. The recording of experiments, despite the fact that several ubiquitous computingsystems have been suggested in the past decades, still relies predominantly on hand-written notes. Similarly, the information retrieval capabilities inside a laboratory are limited to traditional computing interfaces, which due to safety regulations are sometimes not usable at all. In this paper, Google Glass is combined with a wrist-worn gesture sensor to support Wetlab experimenters. Taking "in-situ" documentation while an experiment is performed, as well as contextualizing the protocol at hand can be implemented on top of the proposed system. After an analysis of current practices and needs through a series of explorative deployments in wet labs, we motivate the need for a wearable hands-free system, and introduce our specific design to guide experimenters. Finally, using a study with 22 participants evaluating the system on a benchmark DNA extraction experiment, we explore the use of gesture recognition for enabling the system to track where the user might be in the experiment.

Thousands of medical devices are employed to diagnose and treat human health problems each day. These devices can be complicated to use, maintain, and troubleshoot when alarm conditions occur. Patients often turn to the provided instructions for use (IFUs) for step-by-step guidance in alarm mitigation. Despite standards and guidance provided by standardization organizations and regulatory agencies to support user manual usability, inadequate IFUs may be contributing to adverse events. To address potential limitations of currently employed user manual design methods, we present a model-based approach to support user manual development. Our approach leverages formal task modeling, finite state automata, linear temporal logic (LTL) and symbolic model checking, all of which contribute individually and additively to our analysis. We demonstrate the value of our approach using a case study of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) and a set of troubleshooting instructions from its patient handbook.

This paper presents an study of the co-authorship network of human Computer Interaction (HCI) in Brazil from a sixteen-year analysis of paper production in Brazilian symposium on humanfactors in computingsystems (IHC). Our analysis is based on data-driven visual exploration, and it can help to get insights from the data and identify central authors and institutions, the main topics of the symposium and important trends. The study identified scientific collaboration networks among researchers in the area of HCI and the results show the importance of coauthorship networks in the study of the scientific production.
