Workshop on User-Centered Evaluation of
Ubiquitous Computing Application
Ubicomp 2002
User-centered evaluations must be performed
on ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) systems to determine if they are meeting
their users' needs.There has been a growing number of papers on ubicomp
systems in recent literature that have included user-centered evaluations.
In this workshop, we will leverage this work to see
if evaluation practices have evolved to the point where we as a community
can codify and publicize a collection of "best known methods" and supporting
case studies.
Participants are asked to submit a position paper that discusses an
evaluation methodology and provides the methodology's advantages and disadvantages.
See the call for submission for more details
on the format of the position paper.
Participants should be ready to argue the validity of their approaches
and compare and contrast with other evaluative techniques.
Prior to the workshop, the organizers will
group the proposed methodologies into similar topics and select a participant
from each topic to present those methodologies.
This requires pre-workshop interaction between the
participants and organizers.
Position papers should not exceed 4 pages.
