Özet:
Office workplaces are specialized environments presenting proper
workable ambiance and social and communal services for the knowledge
workers. The interior architectural parameters are targeted to improve
the knowledge workers' productivity, comfort, and well-being. There is a
growing demand for personalization and customization in the workplace
environment, together with a high level of flexibility regarding where
and when to work the knowledge worker. The current workplace services
practices were not successful in meeting these growing demands. The
study envisions that each knowledge worker can be matched with a
temporary/dynamic workspace that suits their personal choices and task
requirements through an intelligent matching/bidding system. The
proposed system aims to outsource new office workplace service provision
by integrating semantic web applications, smart contracts, and ambient
intelligence. The new paradigm cannot only meet the participants'
emerging demands but also improve occupancy satisfaction and decrease
the operation costs of the organizations. The model was formalized and
evaluated by web ontology models. The validation of the model was
accomplished by use of literature and in-field based studies. Firstly,
the validity of the arguments was investigated in a survey, and a simple
test for user interface demo for workplace configuration was executed
with the knowledge workers in a co-working office. Then, the
applicability of the model in the real world was investigated by
interviewing facility managers. The facility managers expressed
application-based concerns for the new model and addressed practical
handicaps and challenges. However, the model was applicable and
presented many advantages for the industry stakeholders.
