  2. 1. Getting Work Done : The Significance of the Human in Complex Socio-Technical Systems

    Author : Rebecca Cort; Anders A. Jansson; Jessica Lindblom; Ann Blandford; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; work; work practice; socio-technical system; workscape; workplace studies; ethnography; distributed cognition; activity theory; operational train traffic; manufacturing; human-computer interaction; HCI; safety-critical domain; Computer Science with specialization in Human-Computer Interaction; Datavetenskap med inriktning mot människa-datorinteraktion;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to deepen the understanding of the role and relevance of the worker in the functioning of complex socio-technical systems. The perspective adopted is profoundly human-centred and the worker is considered as a resource. READ MORE

  4. 2. Getting engaged in cooperation : Design, distance, and distributed work

    Author : Mårten Pettersson; Daniel Spikol; Martin Wetterstrand; Kari Rönkkö; Teresa Cerratto-Pargman; Malmö universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cooperative work; distributed collaboration; computer-supported cooperative work; engagement in cooperative work; shared materials and artefacts;

    Abstract : Cooperative work differs depending on contexts and tasks, whether co-located, synchronous, or distributed in time and space. New technology allows new opportunities to support cooperation. A central aspect of cooperation is the relation to individual work; when co-located, people enter and exit cooperation seamlessly.

  5. 3. Computer use @ work : Psychosocial work environment and attitudes toward computers from a work content perspective

    Author : Birgitta Wanek; Institutionen för psykologi; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; work content; employees; work tasks; computer use; process operators; VDU use; computer-aided work; psychosocial work environment; computer attitudes; measurements; Occupational health; industrial medicine; Industrial psychology; Social psychology; Psychology; industripsykologi; Socialpsykologi; Psykologi; arbetsmiljömedicin; Yrkesmedicin; Arbetspsykologi;

    Abstract : This thesis aims at investigating computer use at work from a more holistic work content perspective by also studying non-computer work content, in contrast to the previous approach in occupational health research that focused almost solely on computer work content. It was argued here that non-computer work content has also become significant to the overall work situation for computer users. READ MORE

  6. 4. Distributed engineering : tools and methods for collaborative product development

    Author : Peter Törlind; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Datorstödd maskinkonstruktion; Computer Aided Design; Funktionella produkter; Functional Product Development;

    Abstract : Engineering design is fundamentally social, requiring much interaction and communication between the people involved. Additionally, good design often relies upon the ability of a cross-functional team to create a shared understanding of the task, the process, and the respective roles of its members. READ MORE

  7. 5. Distributed k-ary System: Algorithms for Distributed Hash Tables

    Author : Ali Ghodsi; Seif Haridi; Alexander Reinefeld; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; distributed hash tables; structured overlay networks; distributed algorithms; distributed systems; group communication; replication; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : This dissertation presents algorithms for data structures called distributed hash tables (DHT) or structured overlay networks, which are used to build scalable self-managing distributed systems. The provided algorithms guarantee lookup consistency in the presence of dynamism: they guarantee consistent lookup results in the presence of nodes joining and leaving. READ MORE
