Stefan Carmien is a senior researcher at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology (FIT), Schloss Birlinghoven, Sankt Augustin, Germany. His PhD thesis was the development and evaluation of a PC based script authoring and palmtop prompting system to support persons with cognitive disabilities and caregivers living more independently. Previous to his career in computer science, he was for 12 years a production and inventory control manager in manufacturing, and as such has had extensive real world experience with planning, modeling and reconciling models to actuality. He was a member of APICS (The Association for Inventory and production control) during the 80’s when American industry was struggling with the challenges of just-in-time and high accuracy/high annual raw material turnover in response to the Japanese challenge. His research interests include: Human-computer interaction (HCI); assistive technology (particularly for persons with cognitive disabilities); social analysis and ethnographic studies of socio-technical systems; mobile technologies; contextually aware technologies; “everyday” artifacts; situated cognition; technology adoption.
