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 details about conference
registration, please visit http://www.hci2006.org/
