Today's Virtual Reality(VR) technology has become considerably more affordable and sophisticated with rapidly advancing computer technology. Photo-realistic visual representations along with real-time interactivity are now achievable without special programing knowledge and expensive equipment. The purpose of this paper is to establish how simple, credible user testing methods based on VR simulations can be utilized to improve design decision making towards more sensible design solutions for end-users. Results of a case study demonstrate the value of potential user-testing feedback in a simulated 3D virtual service space, i.e., restaurant interior. User feedback from the VR simulation includes preferences in table location, privacy, and values of seating preferred tables. A new design framework incorporating an empirical testing method for service spaces is presented. The overall design process, the development of the VE, and the user testing method and findings are discussed. This study provides useful guidances for future efforts in the areas where such technology may benefit to understand end-user feedbacks in design process.

The number of Goryeo-in immigrants has been increasing recently. National attention and active interactions are required for them to settle down with the identity of Koreans. The purpose of this study was to develop volunteer activity for Goryeo-in immigrants based on service design. The study was performed in G metropolitan city from October to November 2019. The participants were 33 Goryeo-in immigrants and 3 stakeholders. Data was collected through a survey and interviews of Goryeo-in immigrants and stakeholder interviews. In the field surveys and interviews, it was found out that the main problems faced by Goryeo-in immigrants were communication difficulties, maladjustment, job insecurity and smoking. The core issue was defined as 'How Goryeo-in immigrant women can improve their communicate ability in Korean'. In order to solve this problem we developed a program called 'Goryeo-in Han-gul ssugssug' for volunteer activities, and the program delivered through a storyboard and a role play. Using the service design process, a meaningful volunteer activity was designed considering lots of situation of Goryeo-in immigrants and nursing students in various ways. This study shows that the service design methodology is a useful way to reflect the needs of consumers and volunteers in developing volunteer work.

Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) is the development method that published services are selected and composed at runtime to deliver the expected functionality to service clients. SOC should get maximum benefits not only supporting business agility but also reducing the development time. Services are selected and composed at runtime to improve the benefits. However, current programming language, SOC platforms, business process modeling language, and tools support either manual selection or static binding of published services. There is a limitation on reconfiguring and redeploying the business process to deliver the expected services to each client. Therefore, dynamic selection is needed for composing appropriate services to service clients in a quick and flexible manner. In this paper, we propose Dynamic Selection Handler (DSH) on ESB. we present a design method of Dynamic Selection Handler which consists of four components; Invocation Listener, Service Selector, Service Binder and Interface Transformer. We apply appropriate design patterns for each component to maximize reusability of components. Finally, we describe a case study that shows the feasibility of DSH on ESB.

다양한 정보기기들이 출현함에 따라 UI가 제품성공의 중요한 요인으로 부각되고 있다. 이러한 중요성을 인식하고 Microsoft, Nokia, HP, Motorola 등 해외 선진기업들은 UI 연구에 주력해 오고 있다. 국내 기업들도 2000년대부터 본격적으로 기업 내 UI팀을 구성하기 시작하여 점점 그 규모와 역할을 확대해 나가고 있지만, 개발시간의 촉박함, 체계적인 방법론에 대한 인식 부족, 전문인력부족 등으로 인해 UI업무가 효율적으로 진행되지 못하고 있다. 선진기업과 경쟁하기 위해서는 사용자 경험 측면에 대한 투자가 시급하며, 국내 UI전문가의 역할이 크게 요구되고 있는 시점이다. 따라서 기업 내 UI업무의 현주소를 파악하고 통합적인 고객체험 디자인을 목표로 하는 UI팀의 발전방향을 모색하고, 비전을 제시하는 것을 연구의 목적으로 삼는다. 본 연구의 방법으로는 문헌조사와 선행연구를 통해 UI, UX의 개념과 UI관련 조직의 구성과 역할을 살펴보고, 국내 모바일 및 전자제품 제조사, 유무선 인터넷을 기반으로 하는 컨텐츠 서비스 업체의 UI실무자를 대상으로 한 인터뷰와 설문조사를 통해 현재 기업 내 UI팀의 현황(조직구성, 업무의 범위 및 프로세스, 조직 내에서의 위상 등)을 분석하였다. 그 결과 다음과 같은 문제점들이 도출되었다. 첫째 조직구조상의 문제점, 둘째 업무 프로세스상의 문제점, 셋째 전문인력의 부족 등이다. 본 연구를 통해 기업 내 UI팀의 역할과 위상이 그 중요도에 비해 미약한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 향후 통합적인 UX디자인을 접목한 미래 지향적 UI팀으로써 전체 프로세스 과정에 비전을 제시하기 위해서는 다양한 분야의 전문가들로 구성된 독립적 UI팀 구성이 이루어져야 한다. 또한 기획, 디자인, 개발 등 타 부서와의 보다 적극적인 업무교류를 통해 사용자의 입장을 대변하는 역할을 해야 한다.

Purpose: Of late, the focus of service design is moving toward emphasizing customer satisfaction and taking users' experience more seriously. In addition to the change in perspective in service design, scholars in this area are paying more attention to service design methodology and process, as well as its theory and real-world case studies. In the case of medical space, there have been few studies in attempting to apply service design methods useful for deriving user-focused results. The author of this paper believes, however, case study-oriented approaches are more needed in this area rather than ones focusing on theoretical aspects. The author hopes thereby to expand the horizon to practical application of spatial design beyond service design methodology. Methods: In order to incorporate the strengths of service design methodology that can reflect a variety of user opinions, this study will introduce diverse tools in the framework of double diamond process. In addition, it will present field cases that successfully brought about best results in medical space design. It will end with summarizing the ideal process of medical space design which is reasonable and comprehensive. Results: Medical service encompasses preventive medicine as well as treatment of existing medical conditions. A study in establishing the platform of medical service design consists of a wide range of trend research, followed by the summary of two-matrix design classification based on results of the trend research. The draft of design process is divided into five stages composed of basic tools for establishing spatial flow lines created by matching service design tools with each stage of space design processes. In all this, most important elements to consider are communication and empathy. When service design is actually applied to space design, one can see that output has reflected the users' needs very well. The service design process for user-oriented medical space can thus be established by interactions on the final outcome and feedback on the results. Implications: One can see that the service design with the hospital at its center produces the result that encompasses the user's needs best. If the user-focused service design process for medical space can be extended to other space designs, the author believes that it would enhance the level of satisfaction for users and minimize trials and errors.

빅데이터, IoT, 클라우드 인프라 등 기술의 발달에 따라 일상생활 중에서도 개인과 환경의 변화에 대해 실시간 데이터 수집이 용이하게 되었다. 이를 활용하여 개인의 다양한 특성과 상황을 인지하고 다면적으로 의미를 분석할 수 있는 개인의 라이프스타일(lifestyle, 생활습관) 분석 기술이 중요하게 부각되고 있다. 이 라이프스타일 데이터는 개인의 질병이나 사회 심리적 문제의 원인 분석과 미래 트렌드의 변화예측을 할 수 있는 중요한 근거로 활용된다. 최근 이를 위한 연구로서 활동량, 스트레스, 위치, 수면 등의 라이프스타일 패턴을 추출하여 체계적인 프로세스로 삶의 질을 향상시키는 웰니스 (Wellness) 예측케어 서비스 연구와 서비스들이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 서비스를 제공하기에 앞서 개인의 복잡한 라이프스타일 패턴의 추출이 단편적으로만 이뤄지고 있어서, 패턴들 사이의 복잡한 관계를 분석하거나 연계 서비스로의 확장 및 라이프스타일 패턴의 재사용적인 측면에서의 문제가 어려운 이슈가 되고 있다. 이 때문에 웰니스 서비스의 신뢰도가 낮아 사용자가 단순히 재미로 느끼는 수준이거나 일회성에 그치는 모바일 어플리케이션 서비스를 제공받는 경우가 다반사이다. 본 논문에서는 IoT환경에서 다양한 스마트 디바이스에 의해 수집되는 라이프로그로 부터 라이프스타일 패턴 추출 및 모델링, 라이프스타일 패턴 분석으로부터 개인의 행동 추론 및 예측, 원인파악과 관련 지표를 정량적으로 설계하는 분석 엔진 개발 방안, 서비스 디자인을 통하여 실효적인 생활개선의 변화를 유도하는 기술, 개인의 심리적 특성까지 고려한 신뢰성 높은 케어 서비스 제공까지의 전반적인 웰니스 예측케어 서비스시스템 프로세스 및 플랫폼 설계 방안을 제시한다.
