Beatrice Alenljung

Beatrice Alenljung is a Docent and Senior Lecturer in Informatics at University of Skövde, Sweden, where she is a member of the Interaction Lab. Beatrice’s teaching is primarily in the study programme User Experience Design. The main thread in her research is the human-centred perspective in the field of informatics, in particular digital artefacts in use. Her research interests are user experience design, human-computer interaction, human-robot interaction, simulation-based training, decision support systems, and requirements engineering.

Virtual Simulation for Training of the Rescue Services
Rescue services have to maintain their knowledge and skills on an ongoing basis through training and examination. Training is today primarily done in instructor-led exercises on training fields. Rescue services can train a greater variety and complexity of events with virtual simulation, while fire fighters can participate from their own station without having to travel. More skills can be developed more flexibly with virtual simulation: mass-training can be realized by training more often in shorter sessions. The research project focuses on how instructors should act to use virtual simulation successfully.

AIR investigates action and intention recognition in human interaction with autonomous systems (or AIR, for short). More specifically, the focus is on the interaction of humans and autonomous systems that move in shared physical spaces.
