"Mobile HCI and Technical ICTD: A Methodological Perspective"
A Workshop at the Mobile HCI 2010 Conference
September 7, 2010
------------------------------------------------------------
Workshop at MobileHCI 2010
Tuesday, September 7, 2010
Lisbon, Portugal
Submission Deadline: Friday April 30, 2010
THEME
-----
The workshop "Mobile HCI and Technical ICTD: A Methodological
Perspective" invites papers with focus on experiences, lessons
learned, success stories and failures of technical ICTD research
especially with focus on the utilization of User Centered Design
and Mobile HCI research methods.
Technical Information and Communication Technologies for
Development (technical ICTD) research, which refers to ICTD
topics specifically relevant for computer scientists and engineers,
lacks appropriate research methods along the entire development
lifecycle spanning design, development, deployment, evaluation
and monitoring.
Mobile HCI has a great set of research methods but applying
them unchanged in technical ICTD will fail due to the specific
cultural, infrastructural and governmental context of developing
countries. In this workshop we want to bring together people
who are active in Mobile HCI and ICTD research to elaborate
on Mobile HCI methods and discuss their application for
technical ICTD.
GOALS
-----
The aim of this workshop is to elaborate on the application
of Mobile HCI methods for technical ICTD research and to
come up with a set of appropriate research methodologies
for technical ICTD and a roadmap of action items of how to
improve current technical ICTD research. We will provide a
forum to share information, results, and ideas on current
research in this area and encourage discussions about future
topics concerning technical ICTD research.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
-------------------
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Experiences and Lessons Learned in technical ICTD research
- Success stories and failures of technical ICTD research
- Utilization and combination of Mobile HCI research methods
in technical ICTD research
- Utilization of User Centered Design in technical ICTD research
- Methodologies and Approaches of technical ICTD development
lifecycle (e.g. rapid prototyping, participatory design)
- Definitions of technical ICTD metrics
- Representation of technical ICTD metrics (e.g. personas,
scenarios, use case definitions)
