Audience as Stakeholders: Design Thinking vs Conventional Research
Title
Audience as Stakeholders: Design Thinking vs Conventional Research.
Creator
Koppisch, Patricia, Graduate College
Abstract/Description
This proposal discusses how design thinking allows the designer to arrive at solutions that more strongly connect with the audience because the audience is made an integral part of the process.
Design thinking encompasses personal design problem solving, decision making and critical thinking.

Show moreThis proposal discusses how design thinking allows the designer to arrive at solutions that more strongly connect with the audience because the audience is made an integral part of the process.
Design thinking encompasses personal design problem solving, decision making and critical thinking. Design thinking utilizes methodologies to discover and fulfill the final requirements and goals of a project; whether designing logo or a furniture program for a highly utilized space, it is necessary to start with design thinking. Design thinking permits the designer to become empathic with the audience for whom they are designing in order to pinpoint the problem; this includes observation and, most importantly, conversations in order to evaluate and understand the design needs. Further methodology includes researching the possible solutions to the problem as well as testing solutions with the audience in order to make successful decisions. In addition to the pragmatic results of design thinking, the continuous use of its research methodology improves important critical thinking skills central to the individual designer and the collaborations in which he or she participates.
We are aware that designers can come up with good, even great solutions without the audience; however, the inclusion of the audience as a stakeholder in the outcome is a key component of design thinking. Design thinking assists the designer in creating solutions that strongly connect with the audience because they are made an integral part of the process. This poster presentation will discuss design thinking methodologies that include the audience as stakeholders.

Humans still comprise a significant cost from the development to operation and evolution of software, and must be increasingly more skilled as systems grow more complex.

Show moreModern software systems have grown in complexity and expense, even while costs for the supporting hardware have decreased. Humans still comprise a significant cost from the development to operation and evolution of software, and must be increasingly more skilled as systems grow more complex. Further, legacy software has become more prevalent, as sophisticated enterprise systems developed over many years approach complexity that is too expensive to replace or re-engineer. One of the major software engineering challenges today is the maintenance and evolution of these existing legacy systems to extend the business value of the software, while mitigating the costs and increased complexity. Approaches practiced by researchers and engineers include software reuse, serviceoriented architecture, and autonomic computing principles to improve the reliability of systems, while removing the need for human monitoring and intervention where possible. In this paper, we describe a real-world project in which a multi-channel vendor of musical equipment sought to extend their legacy enterprise system to automatically process customer orders originating from a third party retailer specializing in ecommerce. To realize the solution, an addition to the existing enterprise system was developed using autonomic computing, software reuse, and service-oriented architectural approaches, producing a highly automated order processing stream that was self-monitoring, self-adaptive, and fault-tolerant, while minimizing the need for additional human resources to monitor the system and process the data.

Show moreSound assessment of the status of a threatened or endangered organism depends on understanding key aspects of behavior throughout its life history. Sometimes organisms can be difficult to observe and key aspects of behavior may not be accessed directly. Alternative assessment techniques include using molecular markers to identify fundamental relationships among males and females. In the context of assessing the status of imperiled populations’ sex ratios, population size and the relatedness of the individuals are important metrics. Environmental sex determination directs developing marine turtle sex so that primary sex ratios depend upon weather and climate; those sex ratios are estimated by proxies. Adult population sizes are inferred from numbers of females nesting on the beach, but numbers of males are unknown. Male breeding population size can be estimated from subtracting maternal genotypes from genotypes of offspring exclusion analyses. The resulting adult sex ratios differ greatly from those estimated for hatchlings. To refine current adult sex ratios in ways that are relevant to production of future generations and add to our understanding of effective population size we compare the breeding sex ratios the number of males and females contributing to a population of three species of sea turtles nesting in southern Florida. We will use the same genetic data to measure relatedness of the female nesters and the male contributors and describe how that relates to genetic flow and population structure.
