Concrete research
The human-centered computing objective integrates a strong element of empirical research involving people. One part of the empirical research is experimental in the form of design, construction, and evaluation of interactive prototypes to explore and solve
specific problems.
Another part is directed at the professionalization of systems and software development. This takes place through close collaboration with companies in improving their working practice and encompassing agile processes and the integration of agile development, usability engineering, and interaction design
