CHI 2004 workshop on Time Design
Sunday 25 April 2004, Vienna, Austria
Organisers:
Michael Hildebrandt, University of York
Alan Dix, Lancaster University
Herbert A. Meyer, Humboldt University Berlin
Call for Participation:
The goal of this workshop is to explore and support the design of temporal
aspects of interactive systems, where time is a property of the interface,
task and environment, or an aspect of user behavior. Time design is an
emerging research and development domain that emphasizes the functional,
causal role of time in human-device interaction. It draws on a diverse
literature on time in cognitive psychology, psychophysics, sociology,
computer science, engineering, Human Factors and HCI. Contributions from
these and other relevant disciplines are invited. The aim of the workshop
is to map out the temporal dimensions of the design space by making
explicit the time design choices involved in a number of scenarios. This
process will be informed by temporal phenomena identified in a variety of
research disciplines. The relevance of empirical results, models and
theories of time use for the design process will be discussed. The
contribution of existing representation, modelling and analysis methods
will be assessed, and requirements for dedicated time design methods will
be outlined. The scenarios include
* CSCW -- concerned with issues of synchronization, pace, social time, and
interruption handling,
* Computer-based training -- concerned with promoting thorough work style
by introducing temporal decision costs,
* Enjoyable interfaces -- concerned with aesthetics of time; lessons
learned from the temporal structure of film, music, conversation, humor,
* Process control -- concerned with interface features supporting
anticipative control, perception of temporal costs, temporal reasoning,
* Online traffic information for public transport -- concerned with
perception of waiting time; time use strategies; temporal validity.
Participants are encouraged to provide additional scenarios.
After the workshop:
Workshop notes, summaries, slides and scenarios will be made available on
the Web. Position statements may be selected for publication in a book or
special issue of an HCI-related journal. Follow-up workshops are planned
for 2004 in York, UK, and at the 2004 Human Factors and Ergonomics Society
annual meeting. These workshops will further explore multi-disciplinary
contributions to timing research and will progressively emphasize the
design-centred aspect of this research. We intend to disseminate the
lessons learned from these discussions in a tutorial on time design at CHI
2005.
Please submit 2-4 page position papers by 12 January 2004 to Michael
Hildebrandt, [log in to unmask] (informal enquiries to the same address).
Notification of acceptance will be sent by February 23.
