CFP: HCI2006 Interaction Tracking Workshop
===================================================
The 2006 Workshop on Computer-Assisted
Recording,Pre-Processing, and Analysis of User
Interaction Data
to be held at the HCI 2006 conference, London, UK
Tuesday 12th September 2006

===================================================
THEME
-----
Although computer-assisted recording, pre-processing and
analysis of user interaction behaviour has received
continuing research attention over the years, its full
potential as a data source to inform the design process
seems still unrealised. With technologies such as
broadband internet and distributed applications, it is
possible to continuously and unobtrusively collect
interaction data. This data can relate to keypresses,
mouse movements, eye gaze, as well as high-level events
such as completing a task. This workshop will explore a
number of open questions in this area, including: What is
the best way to record and collect interaction data? What
kind of computer tools, i.e. algorithms, can we use to
filter and separate relevant data from noise? Which types
of analysis and measures give us design-relevant insight
into the interaction, the users, their interaction
problems, their needs, personality, and experience?
Traditionally, psychologists, usability experts,
ergonomists, etc. have been among the main consumers and
users of this type of data and supporting tools. However,
making the data and tools easy accessible to designers
and software engineers might even more directly impact
the quality of the application. Therefore, we shall also
explore the implications of this wider applicability of
usage data.
OBJECTIVE
---------
The main objective of the workshop is to establish a
community of researchers with an interest in this area,
allowing a lively exchange of ideas and a joint
exploration of outstanding problems and potential
solutions. Please note that web usage mining in relation
to product sales strategies is not within the scope of
this workshop.
WORKSHOP FORMAT
---------------
This is a full-day workshop. The morning session will
consist of short presentations and discussion of
participants' position papers. Participants will also
have the opportunity to demonstrate computer-assisted
tools they might use or have developed. In the afternoon
session, participants will break into small groups
depending on their main interest and discuss research
questions, unsolved problems, potential solutions and new
research directions. At the end of the workshop, the
small groups will report back, which will form the basis
for a plenary discussion. The intention is also to
transform the output of the workshop into a call for a
special issue of a journal.
PARTICIPATION
-------------
To participate in the workshop please submit a position
paper with your ideas, work or demo description. The
paper may be up to 3 pages long and when accepted will be
published on the workshop website. Please use the Word
Template that can be downloaded on the workshop website.
In advance of the workshop, participants' presentation
slides or other material provided will also be made
available on the website. Submissions should be emailed
to all three workshop organisers.
Please note that registration to the HCI2006 conference
is required, at least for the day of the workshop. For
