Description:
Intelligent production environments, mobile interaction devices, context modeling, design methods. - The dissertation deals with the conception of a design method for modeling mobile interaction devices with special focus upon intelligent production environments. Main result of the thesis represents a method which identifies and describes the necessary model-based tasks for designing mobile interaction devices (mobile input devices, output devices and communication devices). The method consists of a context model-based modeling tool for configuring work situations in intelligent production environments. The modeling tool enables the generation of design recommendations for product developers in the early phases of product development for creating mobile interaction devices.
