	Work Design and Six Sigma: Improve Jobs and Processes
		Simply put, the work has to be important, the employees have to clearly be responsible for that work, and the employees have to know how they are doing in performing the job.
		Redesigning the work so that the employee completes more of an important task – for example, so that he or she cooks and assembles the hamburger in its entirety – will likely raise the task identity score significantly.
		Designing work that is intrinsically meaningful is not simply a nice thing to do as part of an organizational improvement effort.

	J L Mueller, Inc :: Universal Design at Work
		As the workforce ages and the cost of work disability rises, demographic and economic trends have combined with legislation promoting employment of people with disabilities to make Universal Design at Work a powerful issue.
		Workplace design that considers age-related changes in vision, hearing, posture, and mobility will be critical to a work force expected to extend their careers longer than previous generations.
		But the same barriers to productive and safe work faced by an employee with a significant disability are usually barriers to non-disabled coworkers as well, though to a lesser degree.

	Debunking the myths of UI design
		Because design is unavoidable, the real issue is whether it is left implicit in the software being developed, or made explicit and captured separately.
		The useful debate is about how to do design work well, and how to capture it in an optimal form for communicating to those who implement it.
		Designers who ask a few users for their opinions assume that users are always dissatisfied when confronted with bad software, and always know the sources of their dissatisfaction.

	AOP@Work: Component design with Contract4J
		Design by Contract has some advantages over unit testing, but the two methods are complementary.
		One of the major benefits of Design by Contract is that it provides explicit information within the interface or class itself about expected behavior.
		Many in the aspect-oriented community are currently working to extend the concepts of interface-based design from the object world to the emerging aspect/object world, so this topic bears further discussion.

	AOP@Work: Design with pointcuts to avoid pattern density
		As the design evolves to meet new needs, key objects are loaded with pattern roles until they become hard to use or hard to change and the system has to be refactored or rewritten.
		The question of usability shifts from how much work the service interface imposes on the the client to how much knowledge and choice about the service clients want or need (whether they are drivers, crooks, or job applicants).
		By avoiding design trade-off's developers have grown to accept, these solutions show that AOP can be useful even when the code is already thought to be well-modularized.
