* EUD-PLAYGROUND *
This year, IS-EUD invites proposal for hands-on sessions to be held in parallel tracks, as part of the main conference program, on the afternoon of Thursday, May 28th, 2015. The “End-Users’ Playground” will be open to the general public, thus offering a unique scenario in which (a) wider categories of the public will create, modify and extend technologies with the tools researchers have developed for their needs and (b) researchers can obtain feedback directly from end users. ThePlayground aims at inspiring new perspectives on the field of End-User Development. It will be an excellent opportunity for organizers to share their tools with other researchers and to engage the end-users at the same time, in order to broaden the scope of their research practices. A successful Playground activity, therefore, will offer direct hands-on experiences with new and cutting-edge end-user development technologies, both for conference attendees and non-professionals.
Playground activities should accommodate a maximum of 20 participants each, with a minimum of 5 participants required to run the activity and they are open to anyone (conference attendees and the general public). Each activity will last a maximum of 4 hours.
For each Playground activity, we request a short proposal (up to 4 pages). Accepted proposals will be published in the Conference Proceedings. Organizers are also strongly encouraged to arrange for posterior publications of a Playground activity’s output.
Submission guidelines
