This workshop aims to clarify the applicability and transferability of
different theories, theoretical foundations, concepts in informing UX
design and evaluation in both research and practice.
The following topics will be addressed within this workshop:
* Applicability and appropriation of theories and theoretical
concepts in UX design and evaluation: Which theories are used, and for
what purpose? When are theories considered and proved to be useful in
UX design and evaluation situations? How are theories and theoretical
concepts applied and/or adapted to UX research questions?
* Transferability of theories and theoretical concepts from
research to practice: How different are researchers’ views from
practitioners’ with respect to the necessity, utility and difficulty
of applying theories in UX design and evaluation work?
* Scoping of theories: Is there a general theory that can be
applied to studying UX in different settings? Conversely, is there a
specific theory that is applicable only for studying UX in a unique
context?
Position statements on topics related to the above list are welcome.
Contributions where theories and theoretical concepts have already
been applied in practice are especially welcome. Several types of
submissions are invited:
* Analyses of the applicability and transferability of a theory and
theoretical concepts to UX research or practice.
* Case studies of using a theory, theoretical concept in UX design
and/or evaluation work.
* Review papers on the theories used in the existing UX work in
terms of their fitness.
Workshop candidates are requested to send in a position statement (no
longer than 4 A4 pages of ACM extended abstract format) about research
they have been involved with. Please email your paper, in PDF, to
marianna.obrist [at] ncl.ac.uk<http://ncl.ac.uk> by January 13th,
2012.
