This paper proposes an architecture-centric generative approach in facilitating architectural prototyping and evaluation.
This paper describes the development, prototyping, and evaluation of RMAIS (RFID-based Medication Adherence Intelligence System).
Specifically, the researchers expanded the conceptualization of the creative exploration stage to include ideation, design refinement, prototyping, and evaluation of the prototype (LaBat and Sokolowski, 1999).
The method repeats short-time development cycles integrating definition of scenarios and goals, requirements engineering, design, prototyping and evaluation.
As a result, it can support rapid architectural prototyping and evaluation of both functional and non-functional requirements and encourage greater degrees of software automation and reuse.
We developed Mileys in an iterative process — findings from the first round of prototyping and evaluation guided the design of a second-generation prototype and lead to additional evaluations.
We plan to continue involving the target users in the iterative design, prototyping and evaluation process to ascertain that the final product is usable and meets their needs and expectations.
Typical product development processes may be generally thought of as occurring in several broad steps: definition of design needs or requirements, concept development, concept and preliminary design, design development, preproduction prototyping and evaluation, and production design.
Finally, the research herein presented describes another refining cycle of PD4CAT by applying the method in the inception, prototyping, and evaluation of a customized mobile communication device for a 4-year-old child with cerebral palsy, who is verbal and motor impaired.
These tools include rapid prototyping and evaluation, as well as instituting methodologies for gathering and analyzing feedback.
