IngeScape: an adaptive software environment to design and analyse multimodal systems

Published: 03 October 2018 Publication History

Abstract

Modern complex systems are interactive, distributed and heterogeneous. Professional and operational working environments involve multiple user profiles in collaborative contexts, multiple technologies and all kinds of organisational processes. In addition, biomedical and behavioural data have never been so easy to collect and can now take a part in the real-time adaptation of systems to users and context.
The HCD (Human Centred Design) approach is relevant to address human challenges in such systems. However, technical challenges and the capability to collaboratively and iteratively engage multidisciplinary teams are often forgotten or handled with ad-hoc or improvised solutions. This is mainly due to the incapability of the usual technologies and techniques to face the exponential complexity of multimodal collaborative environments.
In this publication, we present the ingeScape software environment (https://ingescape.com) as a straightforward, scalable and robust solution to imagine, build and operate complex operational environments, which actively supports HCD approaches and teams involving human factor specialists, UX and interaction designer and hardware and software engineers.
Around a lightweight model-driven approach, a visual editor and a services-rich, multi-OS, multi-languages software environment, we present how ingeScape has already been able to help solving major difficulties in the design and experimentation of multimodal systems.
