I'm developing a survey on usability, I don't think it's quite right yet, but I would still welcome anyone using it to leave feedback on my research topic (or about the survey) - Click Here to take part in a usability survey, and support my PhD research, for anyone who does not want to remain anonymous, I would be pleased to take an interest in their research.
The survey compares these interfaces -

From UWE Bulletin July 2007 Page 9 - http://info.uwe.ac.uk/news/UWENews/images/bulletinJuly07.pdf.
A group of students from the Faculty of Computing, Engineering and Mathematical Sciences have been helping the Woodward Community Resource Centre in Fishponds sort out their IT needs. The centre had some 'older' PCs that didn't seem to be able to run any useful software.
Andy Gardner, Oli Johson, Simon Barrett, and Will Selwood from the Advanced System Administration module on the final year of the BSc Computer Systems Engineering were brought in to help out with their knowledge of the Linux free open source system. With their tutors Nigel Gunton and Craig Duffy (CEMS) they figured out the centre’s needs and installed Ubuntu Linux on their machines giving access to vast amount of high quality free software such as Firefox and Open Office.
Dominique Moore, newly arrived Pupil Support Tutor said, "The team from UWE did a fantastic job. There is so much more we can offer our pupils learning about IT now." Alison Cameron, Team Manager, said "We tried all sorts of ways to get the computers working and were at the point of ‘donating’ them to some other unfortunate organisation. To be offered this support from Craig and his team of very cheerful and not at all nerdy students was an absolute godsend. Our pupils are thrilled with the results."
The centre will keep in contact with UWE to allow them to upgrade and support their software needs.

Using Open Source and Open Standards to Enable Transformational Government
The Hawthorns, Woodland Road, Clifton, Bristol
British Computer Society BCS Bristol Branch
Transformational Government is intended to be an intensive, structural and fundamental change in the operational processes of Government bodies, enabled by the use of Information Systems & Technology in the back-office. It is expected to deliver major efficiency savings across the public sector without any further investment beyond existing budgets.
What does Transformational Government look like in practice within a Local Authority? How can it be implemented without any additional funding? How can intensely technical subjects like open source and open standards contribute to business change? Gavin Beckett, ICT Strategy Manager at Bristol City Council, will attempt to answer these questions and give an overview of Bristol's successes and challenges to date.
Gavin has been a central figure in Bristol's strategic use of Open Source and Open Standards since 2002; was a founder of the Open Source Academy; and works actively with a variety of EU interest groups and government bodies on the adoption of ODF.

Informing Digital Futures: Strategies for Citizen Engagement

Professor Leela Damodaran, Loughborough University
Summary
In the present digital revolution we often seem trapped in a Kafkaesque world of technological advances, some desired, some disliked or even feared, which we cannot influence but must accept.
This talk discusses the urgent need to redress this situation. It will argue that technologies succeed or fail according to their relevance and value to people, who need to be actively engaged in order to create shared visions, and influence their implementation.
All too often ICT advances are regarded purely as a technical challenge where the designers believe that systems analysis will of itself yield complete and comprehensive functional specifications.
The talk will highlight the crucial benefits and added value to be gained from empowering citizens to shape ICT design decisions. Finally, it will provide specific practical guidance, based on sound academic research, for policy makers, administrators and ICT professionals on the strategies, methodologies, tools and techniques needed to change design practice.

A Re-conceptualisation of the Interpretive Flexibility of Information Technologies: Redressing the balance between the Social and the Technical

Summary
Interpretive flexibility - the capacity of a specific technology to sustain divergent opinions - has long been recognised as playing an important role in explaining how technical artefacts are socially constructed. What is less clear is how a system's technical characteristics might limit its ability to be interpreted flexibly.
This gap in the literature has largely arisen because recent contributions to this debate have tended to be rather one-sided, focussing almost solely upon the role of the human agent in shaping the technical artefact, and in so doing either downplaying or ignoring the artefact's shaping potential.
The broad aim of this presentation is to reappraise the nature and role of interpretive flexibility but giving as much consideration to how an information system's technical characteristics might limit its ability to be interpreted flexibly, as we do to its potential for social construction.
In this presentation the results of two in-depth case studies, are used in order to propose a re-conceptualisation of the role of interpretive flexibility. In short, this model helps explain how the initial interpretations of stakeholders are significantly influenced by the scope and adaptability of the system's functionality.
Stakeholder interpretations will then, in turn, influence how the system's functionality is appropriated and exploited by users, to allow divergent interpretations to be realised and sustained.

Summary
The days when "Collaboration" meant "E-Mail" are well and truly over. Not only is real time collaboration becoming an accepted part of office life, but it is being extended to deliver Unified Communications and Collaboration.
However this is just the start. Web 2.0 is extending traditional Team Collaboration and Document Sharing solutions with Social Software designed to run within an enterprise and encourage better dissemination of information and faster decision making, as well as empowering employees to deliver the innovation companies need to maintain their competitive advantage.
This session looks at IBM's internal experiences from our research into social software and the impact it is having on the way we do business.

Goals and challenges for the co-evolution of social and technical defence capability

Summary
The threats and constraints faced by our defence capability appear to be increasingly demanding. The diversity of threats taking place in complex political, social and physical environments require defence mechanisms that are at once agile, accurate, global, minimal, rapid and sustainable. Network Enabled Capability, Effects Based Operations and the Comprehensive Approach are some of the initiatives that attempt to meet these requirements.
The manner in which the MoD attempts to develop these aspects of defence capability is subject to many challenges, including the traditionally disjointed approach to the so-called 'moral' and 'physical' components: effectively equipment and personnel. A major part of the new initiatives across defence is the use of Information Technologies to support collaboration between distributed people from different national and professional cultures.
As is well known in many fields, successful collaboration of this sort requires an integrated approach to the development of supporting technology, process, organization and social factors. This lecture will review the obstacles and opportunities within the MoD organization for achieving this integrated approach.

The NHS National Programme for Information Technology: A Sociotechnical Perspective

Summary
Launched in 2002 the NHS National Programme for Information Technology is a very large 10-year programme to create electronic patient records that can be shared across all the NHS Trusts in England.
It is funded to deliver interoperable technical systems but has as its fundamental objective the development of healthcare practices based on electronic records. This implies major changes to the work practices of nearly a million NHS staff and means that the Programme is an attempt at very large-scale sociotechnical systems change.
This presentation will review the progress of the programme from a sociotechnical systems perspective after 6 years and examine whether and how changes in working practice are being accomplished. The findings show not only the impact of the Programme on the NHS Trusts but also the effect of the Trusts on the technology suppliers and the organisation of the programme itself.
