Usability, work environment and computer supported work
References to some of our previous projects
Verka-projektet
Organizational development and work environment. A project with Skatteverket and Riskförsäkringsverket, financed by Vinnova.
DUS-projektet
The usability of computer systems and user-centred system design.
Publications
Both projects produced several publications. Below the most important publications are presented. Some are available as files, others have been published in scientific journals and can accessed through the journals.
