Establishing usability heuristics for heuristics evaluation in a specific domain: is there a consensus? (2016)
Journal Article
Hermawati, S., & Lawson, G. (2016). Establishing usability heuristics for heuristics evaluation in a specific domain: is there a consensus?. Applied Ergonomics, 56, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apergo.2015.11.016

Heuristics evaluation is frequently employed to evaluate usability. While general heuristics are suitable to evaluate most user interfaces, there is still a need to establish heuristics for specific domains to ensure that their specific usability iss...

Mapping ergonomics application to improve SMEs working condition in industrially developing countries: a critical review (2014)
Journal Article
Hermawati, S., Lawson, G., & Sutarto, A. P. (2014). Mapping ergonomics application to improve SMEs working condition in industrially developing countries: a critical review. Ergonomics, 57(12), https://doi.org/10.1080/00140139.2014.953213

In industrially developing countries (IDC), small and medium enterprises (SMEs) account for the highest proprotion of employment. Unfortunately, the working conditions in SMEs are often very poor and expose employees to a potentially wide range of he...

Understanding the complex needs of automotive training at final assembly lines (2014)
Journal Article
Hermawati, S., Lawson, G., D'Cruz, M., Arlt, F., Apold, J., Andersson, L., …Malmsköld, L. (2015). Understanding the complex needs of automotive training at final assembly lines. Applied Ergonomics, 46,Pt.A, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apergo.2014.07.014

Automobile final assembly operators must be highly skilled to succeed in a low automation environment where multiple variants must be assembled in quick succession. This paper presents formal user studies conducted at OPEL and VOLVO Group to identify... Read More about Understanding the complex needs of automotive training at final assembly lines.

Managing obesity through mobile phone applications: a state-of-the-art review from a user-centred design perspective (2014)
Journal Article
Hermawati, S., & Lawson, G. (2014). Managing obesity through mobile phone applications: a state-of-the-art review from a user-centred design perspective. Personal and Ubiquitous Computing, 18(8), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00779-014-0757-4

Evidence has shown that the trend of increasing obesity rates has continued in the last decade. Mobile phone applications, benefiting from their ubiquity, have been increasingly used to address this issue. In order to increase the applications’ accep...

A study of unidirectional swipe gestures on in-vehicle touch screens (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Burnett, G., Crundall, E., Large, D., Lawson, G., & Skrypchuk, L. (2013). A study of unidirectional swipe gestures on in-vehicle touch screens. doi:10.1145/2516540.2516545

Touch screens are increasingly used within modern vehicles, providing the potential for a range of gestures to facilitate interaction under divided attention conditions. This paper describes a study aiming to understand how drivers naturally make swi... Read More about A study of unidirectional swipe gestures on in-vehicle touch screens.

A comparison of resistive and capacitive touchscreens for use within vehicles (2013)
Journal Article
Burnett, G., Large, D., Crundall, E., Lawson, G., De-Kremer, S., & Skrypchuk, L. (2013). A comparison of resistive and capacitive touchscreens for use within vehicles. Advances in Transportation Studies, 31, 5-16

Vehicles are increasingly utilising technologies developed in non-automotive domains. In this respect, capacitive touchscreens are familiar to smartphone and tablet computer users enabling a wide range of single and multi-touch gestures, but have not...
