    TechSAge: reconceptualizing how aging impacts disability and the Implications for the Design of Environments, Products and Technologies
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-04-16) Sanford, Jon
    The RERC on Technologies to Support for Successful Aging with Disability (RERC TechSAge) serves as a catalyst for a major shift in the understanding of successful aging with disability and subsequently in the design of home and community technologies. The mission of the RERC is to apply universal design strategies to rehabilitation engineering R&D to prevent, minimize or reverse the disabling effects of age-related losses and contextual factors on the independence, health and participation of people who are aging with chronic conditions or long-term impairment. The RERC is conducting nine research, development, and training projects by taking full advantage of the capacity, experience, multidisciplinary diversity and interdisciplinary approach of the schools, research centers and laboratories at Georgia Tech, including CATEA, AMAC and GIS in CoA, Human Factors and Aging Lab and Sonification Lab in Psych, Awarehome and Interactive Media Technology Center in IPAT, HCI, Healthcare Robotics Lab in BME, and HomeLab and Human Factors Lab in GTRI.

    Successful Delivery of Flash Track Products
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-03-26) Pishdad-Bozorgi, Pardis
    The Construction Industry Institute (CII) has funded Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech to develop best practices for the successful implementation of Flash Tracking (Faster fast Track). Flash Track is defined by this research as a time-driven project which by necessity requires a heightened degree of concurrency between engineering, procurement, and construction. The research, which began in May 2013, has developed a two-tiered structure of 47 practices essential to flash tracking; these practices place the greatest emphasis on planning, execution, and organizational considerations, followed by cultural issues, delivery methods, and contractual considerations. A “Flash Track Readiness Metric” is also developed to assess the extent to which a project is ready, or not, to be undertaken on a flash track basis. To help companies with the implementation of flash track concepts, an implementation resource (IR) toolkit has been developed and integrated with the readiness metric. The IR introduces innovative implementation strategies for each of the 47 practices, and includes barriers to implementation, identification of heightened risks, and risk mitigating strategies. These elements are integrated with the readiness metric to provide further assistance in eliminating identified weaknesses with flash tracking. The outcome of this study is based on extensive research on project acceleration practices in U.S. and international construction as well as other industries outside construction, including manufacturing, ship-building and software development. The methodology employed in this research entailed deployment of a 3-round Delphi process as well as the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to produce a comprehensive and robust prioritization of essential flash track practices and implementation recommendations. With the outcomes from the Delphi and AHP studies, a “Flash Track Readiness Metric” is developed to assess the extent to which a project is ready, or not, to be undertaken on a flash track basis.

    Variability of User Evaluations Based on Design Representation
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-10-23) Choi, Young Mi
    A critical component in the development of new products is the inclusion of input from future users. This input is invaluable in defining and understanding the technical/functional needs that the product must fulfill. It also serves as a guide to other important attributes such as usability, satisfaction or acceptability. Though almost all product development methodologies call for user input and utilize it in various ways within the design process, the accuracy of this input to guide design decisions is not well defined. This presentation will share the results of an investigation into the accuracy of user input when it is provided based on different representations of a design (such as sketches, renderings or models) that are commonly available at various stages of the design process. A better understanding of this input will allow designers base design decisions on the components of it that are most likely to accurately represent users’ opinion of a finished product.

    Space Syntax: Progress and Prospects of a Program of Architectural Research
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-10-24) Peponis, John
    Space syntax has emerged internationally as a major program of architectural research addressing the human functions of space. At its core, this program is about modeling the properties and affordances of built form in terms of which we understand ourselves as members of society, organizations and culture as we move around, occupy and cognitively map buildings or cities. In the light of contributions out of Georgia Tech over the last 25 years, I will identify the larger questions that are critical to progress in the near future. These include: a fresh consideration of the relationship between rich parametric models of functioning built spaces and simplified topological models that capture principles of architectural design; also, a fresh consideration of the tension between models that describe or explain function and models that clarify normative aims and normative choices.
