2. 1. Designing for Extremes

   Author : Olga Bannova; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Architect; Human Factors; Engineering; Engineer; Multidisciplinary and Trans-disciplinary Design and Planning.; Extreme environments; Architecture; Design Planning;

   Abstract : The starting point of this research is based on personal experience in research and design for extreme environments, including orbital and lunar planetary facilities, disaster shelters, polar stations and offshore surface and submersible habitats. This work reflects on related to research problem technical papers, discussions with professionals about their work experience with projects in extreme conditions, and students' workshops debating strategies to form sustainable behavior and design practices.

4. 2. Customer Rewards Programs : Designing Incentives for Repeated Purchase

   Author : Henrik Sällberg; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Customer rewards program; incentives; repeated purchase; delayed reward; membership levels; group reward; consumption habit; non-linearity;

   Abstract : Firms have since long given their regular customers special treatment. With the help of IT, many firms have established formal ways to do this. An example is a so-called customer rewards program (CRP), by which the firm rewards the customer for repeated purchase. Firms allocate large resources in these programs with millions of customers enrolled. READ MORE

5. 3. Designing Platform Emulation

   Author : Daniel Rudmark; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; open platforms; platform emulation; outlaw innovation; action design research; guided emergence; open platforms;

   Abstract : Many contemporary firms and public agencies seek to engage external third-party developers to supply complementary applications. However, this type of development sometimes occurs without organizational consent, which creates problems for subjected organizations at both the technical and organizational levels. READ MORE

6. 4. A decision-making framework for enhancing client well-being : When designing windows and blinds

   Author : Elaheh Jalilzadehazhari; Jimmy Johansson; Krushna Mahapatra; Peter Johansson; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Value creation; Well-being; Multi-criteria decision-making; Analytical hierarchy process; Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II; Technology acceptance model; Värdskap; Välbefinnandet; Multikriterieanalys vid beslutsfattning; Analytical hierarchy process; Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II; Technology acceptance model; Forestry and Wood Technology; Skog och träteknik;

   Abstract : The current state of window and blind design moves beyond evaluating a single function, such as energy consumption, to include a human perspective in architectural design approach to create value. A current thought among architects and design professionals is that the highest value outcomes can be obtained when any architectural design contributes to enhanced well-being. READ MORE

7. 5. A behavior-based control system for mobile manipulation

   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; behavior-based systems; vision-based manipulation; mobile manipulation; fuzzy logic; intelligent control; autonomous robotics; Computer science; Datavetenskap; Computer and Systems Science; Data- och systemvetenskap;

   Abstract : The field of industrial robotics can be defined as the study, design and use of robot manipulators for manufacturing. Although the problem of designing a controller for industrial robots has been subject of intensive study, a number of assumptions are usually made which may seriously limit the applicability of these robots.
