[July 9 - 10] 2-DAY WORKSHOPS

W2 Workshop on Developing Educational Material for HCI: Validation and Quality Control Issues

 An IFIP WG13.1 Workshop was held during INTERACT '99 emphasising the need for material that supported the forming of an HCI mindset with the student. A follow-up workshop at NordiCHI 2000 conference identified resources to complement existing HCI literature as the main concept to be pursued. Two main issues were left unanswered during these workshops: which topics need to be covered, and how to evaluate or validate resources or topics? The INTERACT 2001 Workshop will be devoted to quality control measures and validation procedures for the materials to be published in the proposed distributed resource, and on specific topics and appropriate types of material that would be suitable for contributions to the data resource.

We cordially invite interested participants to submit a 2-page position paper to this workshop, stating their teaching experience and position with respect to HCI education both in academic and/or industrial settings, or the development of web-based educational resources. Statements should also relate to the main workshop topics, as described above. Participants need not have been involved in any of the previous workshops of the group. The results of this are aimed at developing an international resource, and any newcomers to the group would be welcomed in order to make the envisaged material as wide as possibly applicable and relevant. We would especially appreciate participants from developing countries to join the workshop. Please submit electronic versions in Rich Text Format (rtf), following the Interact 2001 short paper format, to: kotzep@unisa.ac.za, not later than 20 April 2001.


[July 9] 1-DAY WORKSHOPS

W4 Usability throughout the entire software development lifecycle

 The un-usability of systems, products and services is still a tremendous problem for users and consumers all over the world, despite the efforts put in by researchers, usability practitioners and designers. Usability aspects are usually regarded very late (if at all) in the software development process. This workshop aims at specifying the research agenda for developing processes, methods and tools for User Centered Design (UCD) throughout the soft-ware lifecycle, particularly within commercial soft-ware development models, such as Rational Unified Process (RUP), Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM), eXtreme Programming. These models are basic-ally not user-centered and provide limited support for usability activities and we need to find ways of integrating usability aspects into such development models.

SUBMISSIONS
Position papers (4-10 pages in pdf-format) should be submitted by April 20th, 2001 to Jan.Gulliksen@hci.uu.se. The submissions will be peer reviewed and the authors will be notified about acceptance/rejection by 31st of May 2001. For more details please refer to http://www.hci.uu.se/~jg/UCD2001.

ORGANISERS
This is an official IFIP WG 13.2 "Methodologies for user centered systems design" workshop.
Jan Gulliksen (mailto:Jan.Gulliksen@hci.uu.se) & Inger Boivie (mailto:Inger.Boivie@hci.uu.se) Department for Human Computer Interaction, Uppsala University, Sweden

Jan Gulliksen is an associate professor of Human Computer Interaction at Uppsala University, and guest researcher at the Centre for user oriented IT-design (CID) at the Royal institute of technology (KTH), Sweden. Jan is chairman of IFIP working group 13.2.

Inger Boivie is a research student at Uppsala University and HCI consultant at TietoEnator AB, Sweden.

[July 10] 1-DAY WORKSHOPS

W1 Software and Usability Engineering Cross-Pollination

 Several disciplines have always both influenced others and learnt from them. Linguistics, for example, has had a major influence on the development of modern programming languages. Sometimes, this influence can be bi-directional. Software and usability engineering are affected by this mutual influence that is called "cross-pollination". We advance that cross-pollination studies are the first step towards integrating user-centered design methods and tools more efficiently into software engineering lifecycle and methodology.
The workshop will unite researchers and practitioners involved in software engineering with those interested in usability engineering. It aims to be a forum for sharing ideas about potential and innovative ways to cross-pollinate the two disciplines, successful and unsuccessful experiences related to integrating usability into the software engineering lifecycle and small and medium-sized organizations, and a future research agenda for bridging the current gap between the software and usability communities.
We encourage researchers and practitioners to submit a position paper or experience report. Submissions should be four (5) pages in length. All accepted contributions will be made available on the Web to all participants before the workshop starts. Attendance at the workshop is limited. Participation will be by invitation only, based on the organizing committee's evaluation of all position papers.

W6 The benefits of using ISO 13407: Human centred design process for interactive systems

 ISO 13407 is a concise description of internationally-endorsed best practice in user centred design. This standard and the human-centred processes described in ISO/TR 18529 provide a definition of the capability that an organisation must possess in order to implement user-centred design effectively. They provide new ways of assuring that a user centred process is followed:
You are invited to participate in the workshop to discuss how you have used, or would like to use these standards:
Examples will be given of the use of the standards in the UK and Japan, and current initiatives to introduce them into public procurement procedures will be reviewed. The workshop will produce recommendations for how these standards should be used in future.
Further information can be found on the workshop web site http://www.usability.serco.com/trump/13407.htm

W8 Issues on the application of guidelines to the design of HCI systems for people with disabilities

 This workshop, intended for people interested in the diverse issues related to the use of guidelines for the design of interfaces accessible by people with disabilities, will try to collect information and experiences about tools, methods and good use examples to help people to apply guidelines to achieve interface "design for all".
We invite position papers (5-10 pages), which will be reviewed (and accepted or rejected) by members of IFIP WG 13.3. In addition, keynote speakers will be invited to address specific topic areas in the use of inclusive guidelines for HCI. Criteria for acceptance of papers will be: evidence of experience working with HCI and people with disabilities, and/or evidence of experience working with HCI and 'design for all', and/or provision of examples of good practice, methods, tools in working with guidelines, and an interest and commitment to the 'design for all' philosophy, or an interest to learn more!
The specific objectives of this edition (the third one of a series of workshops held within INTERACT conferences, devoted to "HCI guidelines for people with disabilities" organised on behalf of IFIP WG 13.3 " Human-Computer Interaction and Disability ") are to discuss the use of guidelines to achieve "design for all", to review the applicability of existing HCI guidelines for accessibility, to collect examples of good use to promote the use of guidelines, to present methods and tools appropriate to work with guidelines, and to study the interactions between guidelines, norms, standards and legislation.
