AbstractThis chapter moves the discussion of how to design an operation center down a level towards implementation. We present user-centered design (UCD) as a distinct design philosophy to replace user experience (UX) when designing systems like the Water Detection System (WDS). Just like any other component (e.g., electrical system, communications networks), the operator has safe operating conditions, expected error rates, and predictable performance, albeit with a more variable range for the associated metrics. However, analyzing the operator’s capabilities, like any other component in a large system, helps developers create reliable, effective systems that mitigate risks of system failure due to human error in integrated human–machine systems (e.g., air traffic control). With UCD as a design philosophy, we argue that situation awareness (SA) is an effective framework for developing successful UCD systems. SA is an established framework that describes operator performance via their ability to create and maintain a mental model of the information necessary to achieve their task. SA describes performance as a function of the operator’s ability to perceive useful information, comprehend its significance, and predict future system states. Alongside detailed explanations of UCD and SA, this chapter presents further guidance and examples demonstrating how to implement these concepts in real systems.

Al-Qur'an is a source and argument for Islamic law, kalam experts, science experts and not only books that speak Arabic and read worship, but also contain scientific value and become a life guide for the development of human cultural reason. especially Muslims. The purpose of this research is to implement the API in the Al-Quran application based on Android and the method used by UCD (User Centered Design). An API is a set of program instructions that are used to build a software application, by providing functions and commands in a language that is easy for the programmer to understand. UCD (User Centered Design) is a design philosophy that places the user at the center of a systems development process. The results showed that an Android-based Al-Qur'an application was in accordance with the needs of the user and the average test results shared with users was 81.25%

AbstrakKejuaraan pencak silat akan lebih terukur dan lebih mudah jika menggunakan sistem digital karena sistem informasi pertandingan pencak silat dapat meminimalisir adanya human error dan dapat mengatur jalannya kejuaraa sehingga panitia kejuaraan akan lebih ringan kinerjanya[1]. Metode User Centered Design(UCD) di gunakan dalam sistem informasi ini karena banyaknya masukan, saran keinginan dari para wasit-juri, panitia dan peserta yang harapan kedepan mampu menjadikan sistem ini mudah di pakai dari berbagai kalangan. Keinginan dari pengguna untuk tampilan dan fitur dari sistem informasi sangatlah beragam, oleh karena itu peneliti memulai tahap Specify The Context of use yang akan mengidetifikasi siapa saja, untuk apa dan kondisi seperti apa pengguna mulai menggunakan sistem informasi ini[2]. Sistem informasi pertandingan pencak silat dirancang dan dibangun menggunakan metode User Centered Design sehingga prototype yang dihasilkan sesuai dengan keinginan dan kebutuhan pengguna. Sistem informasi pertandingan pencak silat telah melalui tahap evaluasi dan pengujian menggunakan usability testing dengan skor 94,25% dan pengujian black box dengan hasil seluruh fitur yang dirancang berjalan sesuai harapan.Abstract Pencak Silat Championship will be more measurable and easier if you use a digital system because the information system of the Pencak Silat competition can minimize the existence of human error and can manage the course of the championship so that the championship committee will be lighter in performance. The User Centered Design (UCD) method is used in this information system because of the many inputs, suggestions of wishes from the judges, the committee and participants, whose hopes are to be able to make this system easy to use from various circles. The desire of users for the appearance and features of information systems is very diverse, therefore researchers begin the Specify The Context of use phase which will identify anyone, for what and what conditions the user starts using this information system [2]. The pencak silat match information system was designed and built using the User Centered Design method so that the prototype produced was in accordance with the wishes and needs of the user. The pencak silat match information system has gone through the evaluation and testing stages using usability testing with a score of 94.25% and black box testing with the results of all the features designed running as expected.

A user-centered design philosophy attaches primary importance to human-machine system performance as the key criterion in assessing the operational utility of complex systems. When the system under consideration is uniquely novel and emphasizes the use of relatively immature technologies, system validation must occur at a number of points in the design process. Particularly in these situations, human-system performance testing must inform engineering development throughout the entire design cycle, and not just at its conclusion. In this paper we describe an empirical effort designed to validate novel technical approaches to the design of a naval command center intended to support high levels of tactical performance in a severely reduced personnel environment. Using a human-in-the-loop simulation, we assessed the initial validity of our design concepts by measuring individual and team performance in realistic simulated tasks. By analyzing metrics associated with operational system performance, operator workload and situation awareness, we were able to identify functional aspects of the design, as well as those that needed further user-centered development
