BACKGROUND Despite the potential value of assistive technology to support people with dementia (PWD) in everyday activities, use of these technologies is still limited. To ensure that assistive technologies better address the specific needs and daily context of PWD and their informal caregivers, it is particularly important to involve them in all different phases of assistive technology development. The literature rarely describes the involvement of PWD throughout the development process of assistive technologies, which makes it difficult to further reflect on and improve active involvement of PWD. OBJECTIVE This two-part study aimed to gather insights on the user-centered design (UCD) applied in the development process of the alpha prototype of the serious game PLAYTIME by describing the methods and procedures of the UCD as well as evaluating the UCD from the perspective of all involved stakeholders. METHODS The first three phases of the user-driven Living Lab of Innovate Dementia 2.0 were applied to directly involve PWD and their informal caregivers through qualitative research methods, including focus groups and a context-field study, in the development of the alpha prototype of PLAYTIME from exploration to design to testing. After the testing phase, a total number of 18 semi-structured interviews were conducted with PWD, their informal caregivers and the project members of PLAYTIME to evaluate the applied UCD from the perspective of all involved stakeholders. The interviews addressed five of the principles for successful UCD and the appropriateness of the different methods used in the focus groups and context-field study. RESULTS Results of the interviews focused, amongst others, on the level of involvement of PWD and their informal caregivers in the development process, the input provided by PWD and their informal caregivers, the value of early prototyping, continuous iterations of design solutions and in-context testing, the role of dementia care professionals in the multidisciplinary project team, and the appropriateness of open- and closed-ended questions for obtaining input from PWD and their informal caregivers. CONCLUSIONS The description and evaluation of the UCD applied in the development process of the alpha prototype of PLAYTIME resulted in several insights on the relevance of UCD for all involved stakeholders as well as how PWD can be involved in the subsequent phases of usable and meaningful assistive technology development.

Practical Usefulness

This research is aimed at developing a document content analysis method to be applied in studies of standardization and technology development. The proposed method integrates two theoretical frameworks: the co-evolutionary technology development framework and the “D-N-S” (Design, Negotiation, Sense-making) framework for anticipatory standardizing. At the backdrop of complex and diversified landscape of science and R&D efforts in the technology domain, and the repeated criticism of the weak link between R&D initiatives and standardization, it is argued that the method offered in this work helps to better understand the internal dynamics of the technology development process at the early stage of standardization or pre-standardization, which, in turn, can help mobilize and direct the R&D initiatives. To demonstrate the practical usefulness of the proposed method, this paper conducts a content analysis of the research contributions presented in the COST Action IC0905 “Techno-Economic Regulatory Framework for Radio Spectrum Access for Cognitive Radio/ Software Defined Radio” (COST-TERRA).

The Relationship

This paper selects PDP industry technology development process as an analytical object, using means of patent analysis, to analyze the PDP industry,s technological track, the degree of technical complexity, technical transition rate to find a workable way of this industry for the management of complex technologies. Through research we found that the complexity of the technology and technology transition is in the existence of a negative correlation. The degree of technical complexity increased with the expansion of technology networks and the speed of technological transition has decreased. So for participation in R&D of complex technology businesses should focus on the development stage of a complex technology, and adjust technical R&D strategy timely.

Requirements Engineering is concerned with identifying, analyzing,documenting and managing software requirements, which is an importantphase in the software development process. Research showsthat most software design failures are due to requirements engineeringissues. Thus, we propose a solution for the active learningof requirements specification techniques. Considering that the userstory technique is currently well accepted by IT companies, thispaper proposes a mobile game that supports learning and practicein writing user stories.

Este artigo avalia a contribuição de 75 projetos de Mecanismo de Desenvolvimento Limpo (MDL) para a promoção de tecnologias mais limpas no Brasil. A metodologia utilizada foi a revisão da literatura especializada e análise de conteúdo de Documentos de Concepção de Projeto (DCP). Os dados obtidos revelaram que os projetos de MDL contribuem, de forma ainda incipiente para a promoção de tecnologias mais limpas no Brasil, visto que apenas 4% dos projetos de MDL analisados relataram a criação de patentes e inovação durante o processo de desenvolvimento da tecnologia. Ademais, apenas 21% dos projetos analisados caracterizaram-se pela geração de uma tecnologia mais limpa focada na redução da poluição de Gases do Efeito Estufa (GEE) na fonte. Conclui-se que o MDL no Brasil ainda está distante do seu propósito de estimular um modelo de desenvolvimento mais limpo através da cooperação entre países industrializados e em desenvolvimento. Palavras-chave:Mecanismo de Desenvolvimento Limpo (MDL); tecnologias mais Limpas; Gases do Efeito Estufa (GEE), Brasil ABSTRACT This paper evaluates the contribution of 75 Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects for cleaner technologies promotion in Brazil. Secondary data acquired from Project Design Documents (PDD) were analyzed using the bibliographical survey of specialized literature. It was verified that such contribution was incipient, as only 4% of the projects reported the creation of patents and of innovation during the technology development process. Just 21% of them were characterized by the generation of cleaner technology aimed at reducing Greenhouse Gases (GHG) pollution at source. In conclusion, CDM projects in Brazil were considered to be distant from encouraging a cleaner model of development through cooperation between industrialized and developing countries. Keywords: Clean Development Mechanism (CDM); Cleaner Technology; Greenhouse Gases (GHG); Brazil.
