CHI 2009 Workshop: Mobile User Experience Research: Challenges, Methods & Tools
http://sites.google.com/site/chi09mobileworkshop/
We invite submissions for a CHI 2009 one-day workshop on mobile user
experience (UX) research methods and tools.
Recent years have seen rapid innovation in this space, often by
researchers adapting existing methods and tools for mobile-specific
challenges and opportunities; in addition to entirely novel
approaches.
This workshop brings together researchers in industry and academia,
designers, and creators of mobile research tools who have faced the
challenges of mobile UX research and may have responded with
innovative approaches. We'll examine the co-evolution of methods and
tools by considering goals and requirements, and how these are shared
and differ between mobile researchers and practitioners.
Aspects we'll consider include, but are not limited to:
* Capturing interaction and system state
* Recognizing and capturing user context and state
* Gathering and managing users' self-reports
IMPORTANT DATES
Submission deadline extended: 31st October 2008
Notification: 28th November 2008
Workshop: 5th April 2009
SUBMISSIONS
To participate, please submit a position paper (2-5 pages, CHI
Extended Abstracts format) detailing your experiences with mobile UX
research.
All submissions should include:
* Your role & environment
* Methods and tools that worked well for you
* Those you've tried and discontinued - and why
* Re-appearing issues and unsolved problems in this domain
* Proposals of new tools or methods
* Any other areas you'd like to see covered
Longer submissions could also include, for example (optionally):
* Supporting photographs or illustrations
* Proposals for novel ideas
* A map of the space of mobile methods and/or tools vs. those for
non-mobile products
* Offer a more extended position paper.
This workshop will provide a forum for learning from others' resources
and experiences, while sharing your own. A particular goal is to
create draft requirements for novel tools, through sharing,
brainstorming and prototyping activities. We invite every participant
to pursue these as opportunities in both open-source and commercial
spaces.
The event will take place on Sunday, April 5, 2009 in Boston, MA, and
will require registration for at least one day of the CHI conference;
details will soon be available a thttp://www.chi2009.org/. (Last
year's rates are available at http://chi2008.org/registration.html.
