Introduction

The FuCoS Society is proud to dedicate this conference for gathering research on Human Centric Design which is an essential process in the development of computer applications and technology services. Computer based technology and application development (CTD) is a creative process, you start with an idea. You explore aspects of that idea – go wide – and diverge into many directions to better understand and define your problem. You follow many paths – some lead to dead-ends, some stray too far off from your vision and some lead to the same place. Then you converge. Having explored a number of possibilities, you dismiss the paths that are dead-ends or stray too far and focus on the paths that converge around your vision. Now you have clarity of what “it” is and you may diverge again. This process is the same as making a piece of art, innovating a new product or service or finding a cure for a disease. This process is generally tagged as "Human-cantered design" (HCD) which is an emerging approach to creating solutions for problems and opportunities through a focus on the needs, contexts, behaviors, and emotions of the people that the solutions will serve. Recently some researchers call HCD as the Thick Data approach: To provide qualitative information that provides insights into the everyday emotional lives of consumers. It goes beyond big data to explain why consumers have certain preferences, the reasons they behave the way they do, why certain trends stick and so on. CTD Companies gather this data by conducting primary and secondary research in the form of surveys, focus groups, interviews, questionnaires, videos and other various methods. Ultimately, to understand people’s actions and what drives them to your business (or not), you need to understand the humanistic context in which they pursue these actions. Actually HCD is an approach to decision making that integrates three types of thinking, divergent, emergent and convergent thinking, in order to allow individuals and teams to make effective choices from an expanded understanding of the challenge and possible solutions. Principles are beliefs that are used to form rules that guide how behave and decide what to do
in given situations. The “design principles” that guide HCD can be summarized as follows:

    1. Every good CTD design should be based on observed, human need (human centricity).
    2. Great CTD design comes from understanding people’s behaviors, thoughts (cognitive empathy) and emotions (emotional empathy).
    3. Design decisions starts by creating possibilities to choose from.
    4. Great CTD design comes from a desire to create real outcomes.
    5. Great CTD design is iterative. It leverages continuous learning and never truly ends.

HCD is crucial for successful CTD companies as it enable them to analyse the emotional way in which people use their products or services to develop a better understanding of their customers. By using HCD, companies can develop a positive relationship with their customers and it becomes easier for those companies to maintain happy customers and attract new ones. The FuCoS Society, together with researchers from Asia-Pacific countries, dedicated this conference to explore the new ways research can design successful human centric solutions. FuCoS Society allow scholars to think about future developments together. Please join to our conference to meet and talk foreign researchers.
