USER EXPERIENCE EVALUATION METHODS IN PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT (UXEM’09)

CALL FOR PAPERS

High quality user experience (UX) has become a central competitive factor of product development in mature consumer markets. Although the term user experience is a widely used term, there is a lack of practical methods for lightweight, iterative UX evaluation.

In this workshop we will bring together industrial practitioners and members of the academic community to explore and establish practical, applicable means of evaluating UX. A preceding workshop (UXEM’08) was successfully run at CHI’08, providing a starting point for collecting a set of UX evaluation methods.

Topics:

  • What experiential evaluation methods are available or under development? What methods from related disciplines could be utilized in UX evaluation?
  • What is the applicability of different evaluation methods in different product development phases and product readiness stages?
  • How do UX evaluation approaches of different application fields and usage contexts differ?

UXEM’09 is targeted at practitioners and researchers addressing the challenges of user experience evaluation in their work. Participants will be selected based on their contributions to user experience evaluation and the overall quality of their position paper.

The position papers of maximum 4 pages must follow the SIGCHI format and should be sent in .PDF format to [email protected] by April 20, 2009. One author is required to register to the workshop (August 22 or 23) and INTERACT 2009 conference.
