In this SIG we aim to introduce the IFIP 13.6 Human Work Interaction Design (HWID) approach to the CHI audience. The HWID working group aims at establishing relationships between extensive empirical work-domain studies and HCI design. We invite participants from industry and academia with an interest on empirical work analysis, HCI, interaction design and usability and user experience in work situations and in the workplace. This SIG is a vital step towards creating a CHI2014 workshop on this topic.

In this paper, we examine some traditional ways of designing and we present some guidelines for a different perspective on design: design understood as a process of dialogue and explicit knowledge sharing. There is no standard definition of design it will vary according to perspective. Traditionally, the term design referred to industrial design. This argument is based on Walker (1989) consideration: "(/Is far as many scholars are concerned, design is industrial design.) " Industrial design concentrates on the product's fimctionality and its appearance as an object. Design as dialogue requires an emphasis on the process of communication between multidisciplinary teams. We will provide a framework based on dialogue which will improve the process of design associated with the development of flexible design objects.
Abstract. Technologies (IT) Companies' Frameworks have been one of the solutions for the increasing demand for new products and services that are more and more complex and need to be delivered in the least amount of time possible. This paper presents work in progress. The goal was to evaluate Frameworks used by business enterprises and to state the advantages and disadvantages in their use. The chosen methodology for data collection and analysis was the Grounded Theory Method from which it was possible to obtain some conclusions based on given answers. With this research, the intention was is to present some recommendations for companies that work with this type of products to improve their productivity and profit.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
