RANDOM is concerned with applications of randomness to computational and combinatorial problems.

Benchmarking the User Experience is a practical book about how to measure the user experience of websites, software, mobile apps, products, or just about anything people use. This book is for UX researchers, designers, product owners, or anyone who has a vested interest in improving the experience of websites and products. In this book, Jeff uses practical examples to illustrate what benchmarking is and how you can use this technique to measure users' experiences. Jeff uses many examples of actual studies conducted by MeasuringU to give the reader constructive information that will help formulate and/or understand your benchmarking studies, which ultimately helps you understand your audience and customers.

Beginning Ubuntu Linux, Fourth Edition is the update to the bestselling book on Ubuntu, today’s hottest Linux distribution. Targeting newcomers to Linux and to the Ubuntu distribution alike, readers are presented with an introduction to the world of Linux and open source community, followed by a detailed overview of Ubuntu’s installation and configuration process. From there readers learn how to wield total control over their newly installed operating system, and are guided through common tasks such as writing documents, listening to audio CDs and MP3s, watching movies, using VoIP and chat, and of course general system maintenance matters. Additionally, there’s a series of comprehensive tutorials on Linux internals and the command–line prompt—essential for any Linux user—and the book includes special sections on optimization, security, and system maintenance.The book comes with a DVD containing the complete Ubuntu Linux distribution. All you need to do is insert the DVD and follow the instructions in the book to install this distribution. The ultimate guide to Ubuntu, the hottest Linux distribution on the planet. Forgoes introductions to esoteric Linux topics so commonly found in other books and instead focuses on everyday tasks for everyday users: printer and file sharing configuration, office document management, and listening to MP3s and watching movies among them.

Auf welche Art wirkt und überzeugt Design? Was wissen GestalterInnen von den Regeln, die sie, teilweise unbewusst, anwenden? Die zeitgenössische Designforschung entwickelt zunehmend ein Interesse an den rhetorischenMechanismen der Design-Praxis. Der vorliegende Sammelband stelltdie klassische Kommunikationslehre der Rhetorik als eine neue und umfassende Metatheorie des Designs vor. Sie betrifftprinzipiell alle Bereiche heutigen Designs ¿ vom Grafik-Design über die Architektur bis zur Interfacegestaltung. "Design als Rhetorik" führt drei Bereiche zusammen: Das Buch stellt die historisch relevanten Texte vor und bildet als Positionsbestimmung die kontroverse zeitgenössische Diskussion ab. Zudem versammelt es in Fallstudien Beiträge zu den wichtigsten Forschungsfeldern wie etwa ¿Interaktive Rhetorik", ¿Rhetorik Design und Gender", ¿Rhetorik des World Wide Web".

This book is the publication of my PhD dissertation and is written in the corresponding style. The included research provides explorations and investigative reflections on Rollenwahrnehmung (a newly coined phrase meaning role perception/fulfillment), Perspective and Space through Virtual Reality (VR) game interfaces.A number of important topics will be addressed, like the creation of new experiences in the context of VR, the extension and new development of various interaction paradigms, various User Experience (UX) aspects and user guidance in a sophisticated new medium.Placed in the field of design practice, this research focuses on the creation of digital gaming artifacts, while extrapolating insights and guidelines concerning VR interfaces. Hence, this practice-based research is derived from a portfolio of specifically developed interactive artifacts, following the methodological approach of Constructive Design Research. These include the VR related games Nicely Dicely, LizzE - And the Light of Dreams and Gooze. They were used for various Lab experiments and Showroom presentations, while continually being refined throughout an iterative process.Nicely Dicely is an abstract game based on physics. In Local Multiplayer, up to four players are able to compete or collaborate. It is not a VR game per se, but features both, Monoscopic and 3D Stereoscopic Vision modes, which were tested in an experiment on their effect on Player Immersion.LizzE - And the Light of Dreams is a Singleplayer 3rd Person Hack and Slay game based in a fantasy universe. In an experiment, the game was used to primarily investigate in which ways 3rd Person VR games can work for a broad audience, regarding camera behavior.Gooze is a 1st Person VR puzzle game, taking place in a realistic horror environment with supernatural aspects. It was designed with diverse VR interaction technologies in mind and offers users different options to play the game, depending on available hardware and preferences. The Locomotion and Virtual Object Interaction mechanics were tested in an experiment regarding their UX.In summary, this book illustrates various game, interface and VR designs, informing the emerging field of VR game development of the relationship between UX, interfaces and gameplay. Furthermore, guidelines for designing and developing specific aspects of VR games were identified and each single artifact can be used as a design and development precedent for practice and academia.
