The use of nuclear power plants to produce electric energy is a safety-critical process where ultimate operational decisions still relies with the control room operators. Thus it is important to provide the best possible decision support through effective supervisory control interfaces. A human centered design approach, based on cognitive task analysis methods, was used to observe the operators training on the nuclear power plant simulator of the Human System Interface Laboratory (LABIHS). We noted deficiencies in graphic interface design, alarm system and in the integration between the computerized interfaces and the hardcopy (paper) procedures. A new prototype of the interface including graphics, alarms and digital procedures was designed as an alternative to the current hardcopy procedure manuals. The design improves upon the graphical layout of system information and provides better integration of procedures, automation, and alarm systems. The new design was validated by expert opinion and a performance comparison with the existing design.

Research has been done in order to propose solutions that enhance interactions among participants and improve activity coordination in the meeting cycle. Some of these are related to pre-meeting phase conduction. We argue that collaboration could be enhanced if we supplied relevant context information through awareness mechanisms. This paper aims at evaluating context elements in an asynchronous web-based pre-meeting application. As a result, a context framework is discussed in order to support awareness design in the meeting support applications domain.

One of the most important work group support issues is providing information about the context under which a group interacts. The goal of this paper is evaluating the influence of contextual information on the cooperation level in group interactions supported by groupware. A laboratory case study was set up and carried out with this purpose.
This study was aimed to evaluate the e-learning platform in a graduate school by using User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ). The data were collected from 65 respondents and analyzed using an excel data analysis tool. T...
