applications (ExpDes)
(http://www.usercentricmedia.org/workshops/expdes/index.shtml)
User experience (UX) design is becoming increasingly important in a
broad range of application settings, as it becomes evident that
providing functionality and usability alone is not sufficient to meet
users' expectations. While this certainly applies to Social
User-Centric Media applications, it is less clear how to actually go
about designing for user experience, and perhaps even less so when it
comes to evaluations. What are we evaluating and why; how do we carry
out evaluations; how to interpret results and how do the results
affect the next design cycle? How can we know if we are on the right
track? What inherent difficulties and fallacies should we be aware of?
This workshop explores methods and techniques for designing and
evaluating Social UCM applications in the context of iterative design
and formulate strong and weak points of these methods and techniques,
thereby helping the UCM community to create better applications.
For whom is this workshop?
This workshop is intended for researchers and practitioners working in
the design, development and implementation and evaluation of (social)
UCM applications. Workshop participants furthermore should have a
clear interest in the users of these kinds of applications and the
influence users are given on the design and in the evaluations of
these kinds of applications.
