what? why? who?
motivation
|
Ubicomp has produced many innovative exciting systems and applications alongside broad visionary viewpoints. However, the middle ground between the two is less well populated. More generic design-focused concepts and models will become essential as ubicomp moves from an exploratory research area to being the normal pattern of humancomputer interaction. |
This workshop was aimed at those interested in developing the fundamental principles that will drive the future design and implementation of ubiquitous systems. This includes:
The breadth of scope is based on experience within the user-interface community where there is a considerable overlap between conceptual understanding and architectural models of interaction.
|
The workshop focused on the joint development of a common broad framework and set of principles that emerge from the experience of each of the participants. The broad structure of the day was:
|
The experimental systems designed today are unlikely to be those used in 5-10 years time or beyond, but the lessons they teach us will be of enduring value. This workshop will be the first of an ongoing series of international workshops aimed at making these generic lessons explicit. The position papers of the participants are available on the workshop web pages <@papers> and the organsisers will produce a summary after the event. Participants will also be encouraged to write reports of the workshop in the appropriate newsletters or magazines of their respective communities. The organisers are currently seeking to organise a special issue on this topic in an appropriate journal. Selected participants will be encourage to submit extended versions of positions papers for any special issue. |
