Approaches and Challenges of Inclusive UX Practices in the Software Industry
(2023) Choi, Won; Larusdottir, Marta; Department of Computer Science
This study examines how UX professionals in the Icelandic software industry include users in their work practices. Through interviews with five professionals, the study explores the approaches used, challenges faced, and strategies employed to overcome these challenges. The results reveal that time constraints, limited user involvement, lack of participant diversity, and inadequate knowledge about UX pose significant challenges. To address these issues, interviewees suggested involving users early in development, exploring different approaches, and obtaining more support from managers. This research provides valuable insights for practitioners and decision-makers, facilitating the integration of users in software development and fostering more user-centred outcomes.

A Framework To Measure The Robustness Of Programs In The Unpredictable Environment
(2023) Castiglioni, Valentina; Loreti, Michele; Tini, Simone; Department of Computer Science
Due to the diffusion of IoT, modern software systems are often thought to control and coordinate smart devices in order to manage assets and resources, and to guarantee efficient behaviours. For this class of systems, which interact extensively with humans and with their environment, it is thus crucial to guarantee their “correct” behavior in order to avoid unexpected and possibly dangerous situations. In this paper we will present a framework that allows us to measure the robustness of systems. This is the ability of a program to tolerate changes in the environmental conditions and preserving the original behaviour. In the proposed framework, the interaction of a program with its environment is represented as a sequence of random variables describing how both evolve in time. For this reason, the considered measures will be defined among probability distributions of observed data. The proposed framework will be then used to define the notions of adaptability and reliability. The former indicates the ability of a program to absorb perturbation on environmental conditions after a given amount of time. The latter expresses the ability of a program to maintain its intended behaviour (up-to some reasonable tolerance) despite the presence of perturbations in the environment. Moreover, an algorithm, based on statistical inference, is proposed to evaluate the proposed metric and the aforementioned properties. We use two case studies to the describe and evaluate the proposed approach.
