should address the following areas:
Method
- What is
the objective of the method?
- In what
domain did the method originate?
What, if any, changes did you make to this domain for use in evaluating
an ubicomp application?
- Is this
a qualitative or quantitative approach?
- What
metrics (if any) are used?
-
When in the development cycle should the evaluation conducted?
- What costs
are associated with the method?
- What
data is collected and how is it collected?
Case Study (if applicable)
- What was
relationship of the types of participants in the evaluation to the class
of real users?
- What was
the relationship between the real users' work environment and social context
and the environment in which evaluation conducted?
- Length

- Usefulness
of evaluation – what was actually learned; how the application design
was affected?
Issues

Participant Selection
Participation is limited to 20.
Prior to the
workshop, the organizers will group the methodologies proposed into similar
topics and will select a participant to present each category of methodologies.
This will necessitate some pre-workshop interaction on the part of the
participants and organizers. Send submissions in word or PDF to Jean Scholtz,
